SCENES ON EXCHANGE
Spectacular Rise in Cotton
/ Following the Govern
ment Report.
The Government Report Issued Yes
terday Stirs the World to Buy
ing-Smallest Crop Raised
Since 1908.

New York, Dec. 1O.-Not since the
Sully boom of 1904 has the New Yorh
Cotton Exchange witnessed a more
sensational scene or a more spectac-
ular rise in prices than occurred TO-
day on the announcement or the gov
eminent crop report. With the gal
leries crowded with visitors from the
South, augmented by friends n ella
tives of operators and other interested
spectators, the market scared to a new
high record for the season, with gains
of more than 81 a bale over yester-
day. Both the May and July options
touched the high mark of 1880, both
gaining approximately II points over
yesterdays close.
Bull brokers prevented a more VIC
lent advance. as they distributed heavy
selling orders every five points UP
from 1855 for May and July. They
sold enormously, supplying the de-
mand of shorts and also the thrush OF
buying orders from Wall street, Chica-
go and Southern operators and the
lOCd1 d1u Z IhS1o14o III
terests. The market continued in al
excited state up to the close, with es-
Inmates that 500, 900 bales had changed
hands in the last hour. May closed
at 1857, and July at 1874.
It was two o'clock when the news
came from Washington that the gov
eminent estimate was only 1O,O88,OO
bales, the smallest crop since 1903.
Immediately there was a tremendous
rush of buying. Orders poured in
from the world over and prices jump
ed from 20 to 80 points on the first
transactions. Last trades, made just
before the report vas announced.
we're on the basis of 1850 for May de-
livery; the next sales were made at
1870, an advance of 81 a bale. This
was followed by tremendous trading
both ways and by rapid fluctuations.
A break to 1855 followed, then came
the rise to 1880. July cotton fuctu-
ated along the same lines, while
March reached 1850 as it's high point
and closed at 1910.
The government estimate is about
200. 900 bales below the predictions OF
the most sanguine Of the bulls and the
actio nof the market naturally follow
Ell. S~ixteen-cent cotton so much talk
ed about, was not realized, but the
market came near it.
It now remains to be determined
whether the Federal estimaters have
underestimate the yield, as has been
the case for the past ten years. Dur
ing that time the crop has been under
estimated each year at from 500, 900 to
600, 900 bales.

son.
The hour Of death has come to her;
Her days on earth are at a close;
For now she has left this dreary land
And lies in a sweet repose.
IT'S hard to have to give her up;
And have no more her love;
But she is happy now and blest,
In that beautiful land above.
We shall miss our little companion;
Who would greet US with a smile,
And make us feel that she, too,
Were only a little child.
But now she has joined the "Ange

With them she'll forever be,
And in the glory of Heavens light
Keep her, o Lord, with Thee.

son, who has lately come back from the
West, is impressed with the shortage Of
men needed to do the work on the farms
Secretary Wilson visited his home, in
Iowa. lie said that he found the out
look good for splendid crops. He found
the farmers more interested in the wealth
er than in the tariff and more interested
in the high prices of hogs and various
farm products than politics. But he re-
marked the fact that the men who. have
the fine farms Of Iowa are almost wholly
unable to get help. that they find it prac-
tically impossible to get farm laborers.
and that they have TO do the work them
selves. Plenty OF farmers who are I'm a po-
sition to take life easy If they could get
farm labor have TO go ahead running their
farms themselves. And this in the face Of
the fact that all reports agree that the
large cities are filled with men out of
work and not long ago II was said by
American Federation of Labor officials
that there are 100000 men out Of work in
this country.

MILLIONS OF pREsBYTER1ANs.

IT HE ninth council of the Pan-Presbyteriau
4 Alliance has been meeting in New York
City with delegates representing a following of
twenty-five millions of people throughout the
world seven millions of whom are in the United
States. All shades of the Presbyterian or Re-
formed faith were represented as the Alliance
embraces eighty-six denominations OF the $50
delegates 100 represented Presbyterian Churches
in North and South America and r4o delegates
represented churches of that faith in the Old
World
The council shows that the church has a very
large following, fact that is not appreciated by
those out Of close touch with that communion.
The different branches of the church must find
such gatherings useful and they have brought
closer union for practical religious work This
is shown by the recent amalgamation of the reg
uar Presbyterans and the Cumberland Presby-
terians, although a minority of the latter are
striving in the courts to prevent the union and
the Cumberland body will probably continue ITS
existence But what great chance the Presby-
terians have of working for union which so many
regard .n this day as highly desirable. Think
OF eghty-six denominations What a power
they would be if all were pulling together in the
same traces And it would seem that they could
do so without difficulty, for there is perhaps as
much division in doctrine and church practise
among the different schools of the Episcopal
Church as there would be in the churches hold
ing the Presbyterian faith if they were united.
They are divided on points that do not appeal
particularly to laymen of the present day among
whom there is a wish for more united effort and
less division
