He owns 300 acres near the break WaGter in Stratfor6h and patches in other parts of the Sound in this vicint tty. The Connecticut grounds will be used exclusively for storage. The new company proposes to furnish a continaous market throughout the year for seed oysters.
 Natural srowthers who have been unable to sell seed when the market was slack will now be able to sell at any time when the law allows the talk ing of seed on the natural beds. The company will control hundreds of acres in New York State where the seed bought in this State will be trans planted for development The new company wiM dtffer from those now in existence here in that they will be de pendent entirely upon the natural Erowthers for their supply.
 MT. Porter, the Connecticut represen- tative of the company, is well known oysterman. He owns a large extent of good oyster ground which he will turn into the general fund of the com pany. The oystermen working on the Bridgeport bed have in years past lost about as much as they have made be-, cause they could not find a market for their catch at times. In warm wealth CT small set cannot live long out of water. In very cold weather it freezse9 on deck and is lost because there gre no buyers who are situated so that they can put 1t immediately in- to the water. The new firm proposes to take all the seed offered at any time in the year and pay a reasonable price therefor.

proVement over those for the same
period last year. Cotton yarns are
still advancing, although demand is
not active"
Cotton is today selling for five cents
more in the pound than it brought last
year this time. Then the farmers
were in no hurry to gin or to sell,
hoping later to get better prices. This
year, with cotton going up every day
and perfect weather for gathering the
crop, farmers haye used every energy
to hasten cotton picking and cotton
ginning and most Of them have hur-
it was baled. And yet, in spite Of
his quick ginning, The Ginners' Report
shows that 100000 bales less Of cot
ton have been ginned up to this date
in 1909 than up to the same date
in 1908. What does this Indicate?
Clearly that the crop is very short
and that those who are thinking the
crop will exceed 10000 600 bales are
depending upon a broke stick. If
they expect to buy cotton for less than
fifteen cents, the outlook is that they
viii be wise to buy at the present
prices and would have been wise to
have bought when cotton vas selling
at thirteen cents. Instead of buying
then some mill men Rugged the de-
fusion to their minds that, inasmuch
as the price Of cotton goods remained
low and the demand was not strong,
cotton would go down and that they
could buy it cheaper later on. AS it
has steadily advanced week after week
they have still haTbored the hope that
the price would drop. The wish in
this matter was father to the bought
and sufficed to blind them to the clear
fact hal the world needs 1900, 600
| bales of cotton and the crop Will not
/ exceed 10000 bales. That fact,
if it is q fact, means fifteen cent cot
ton, and with a short crop and every
thing else high, the farmers ere en-

LATEST PLAYERS
 FOR B|SBEE
Manager Wolf Lands Two More Willow Artists to Help Pound Douglas
FOUR cATcHERS SIGNED
 so FAR; MORE TO COME

And still they come. Silent" Wolf has annexed two more Warriors to his list of eligibles and as they seem to drop in every time a cloud gathers, there is no telling just what will be come of the fans should a hard rain ensue. The latest arrival is G. A, Corr, the stellar backstop who caughs for Phoenix here in the tournanen. two years ago.
 Corr is not only a past master at receiving fast ones and talking .he batter into hitting at the high ones, but he is also of the sort that can gather up the stray ones about the initial station and put 'em over 10 Wacey with a vengeance. He came Tn on the train yesterday afternoon just as the team was leaving for Fl Paso mad while one man took care of his carpet-bag, another hustled for a tick- ct so that no time was lost in send ing him on for the two games with the Browns which the Warriors will piuy tOfNOITOW.
 Then there is Hughes. the fast back stop from Tucson who is also flirting with the silent One. Should he be annexed. and there is every reason to believe that he will be. Wolf will have collected quartette of catchers. any one of whom can handle himself with court grace at the initial bag or in the out gardens.
 In other words, it begins to lock rather cloudy for Douglas when that aggregation strikes the city next Wednesday for a matinee stunt. At 1 that, the silent One" has one or two more up his sleeve with which he will enlighten the fans at the proper time. so that it is easily seen that | there is trouble ahead for some of those aggregations around the circuit that insist in being classed in the real baseball division.
 Owing to the sudden arrival O Corr. change-in the announced line up will be made. Peebles has bean selected to occupy the firing line in the initial game while "Pretzef' Hoschelie will be the Sunday attrac- ticn to the Fl Paso fans As mat inee idol. the "Pretzel' has few equals |, and it is only a boost for the gate receipts when he is retained for Sun day duty
 When the Fl Paso twirler winds up for the first heave, the Warriors will attack him as follows: Ward. ss; Me Cam. If; Woods, c; Dorsch, 2b; Roysl If; Corr. 1b; Wacey. 3b; Thomas. cf: Peebles. D.
