COTTON SOARING.

July futures seld in New Orleans at
prices over sixteen cents on Friday,
and the governments bullish estimate
of the crop has rendered fifteen-cent
cotton thrice told tale.
The government says 10,08S,000
bales were grown this year To as
certain the commercial crop we must
add linters and repacks. About 500,-
900 bales should be added on account
of the customary cut made by the de-
partment of Agriculture in a years
totals. These changes would give a
commercial crop ranging between 10,-
100000 bales and IL ,000, 900 bales. The
opinions of the best observers of crop
movements swing around these fig
ures.
Supply and demand and trade con-
ditions will work out prices based on
crop of the size named, and it is
difficult to say what the price of cot
ton will be later on when it becomes
absolutely certain that the crop is
three million bales less than the crop
Of the previous year. The govern
ment report is probably the culmina-
ton of bullish estimates, and the
market will be apt to begi nto deter
mine what the price of cotton should
be when the commercial crop does not
exceed 100000 bales.
The crops in America and Egypt
are both very short. The commercial
crop Of last year in this country was
13,s00,000 bales and Egypt had a nor
NAL crop, and yet the product. large
as it was. was readily absorbed. The
joint product of America and Egypt
will be about 1000, 900 bales less this
year than it was last year, and the
price is to be adjusted to this great
discrepancy in the worlds supply.

STEPHEN NOBLE A SUICIDE.

M. Noble committed suicide at his

ternoon by shooting two 37-calibre
bullets into his head, producing al

dependency took his own life.
Noble was sitting in the room with
his mother and his children and sent
them out to the woodshed on some
pretext and before they had reached
the shed they heard the pistol fire
twice in quick succession. Hurryins
back to the house. they found hin
on the floor with blood pouring from
the two bullet wounds.
