Muar HAVE COTTON.

New York, Oct. 27--Eugens c. Scales. of Texas, who has been with Patten in the cotton deat for nearly 2 year. said today:
 More than year ago. when q fool ish story was started that at a secret meeting here of the authorised repre- sentatives of the spinning interests ar agreement had been reached for Q general shutdown of the mills in all parts of the country. in order to force down the price of cotton. I said that even should so illogical a thing be done 1t would not affect fhe market in the least. The cause of the unusual prices Is the small crop and increased consumption. If every mill In the United States should close tomorrow, the price of cotton would continue to rise. The crop Is short 100000 ov S,oop.o0o bales.
 Foreign spinners must have our cotton. It Is their necessity to which the present market conditions are at tributahle."
