LOT or MONEY FOR COTTON.
5000, 1894, 0o5 for Cotton and Seed in
the Years 1o0o-10-Farmers
Doing Well.

New Orleans, Lain spite of a
short crop year, the south obtained
more money for its cotton during the
past season than ever before in its his
tory, according to the season-end sta
tistics put out by Col. Henry c. Hes
ter, secretary and statistician of the
New Orleans cotton exchange.
The money received from the crop,
not including cotton seed products,
amounted to $778,8o4,0o5, showing that
while the quantity Of cotton marketed
was in round figures $4,000 bales
less than last year, better prices for
cotton resulted in bringing SOS, 0oo, 601
more to the factors. The nearest ap-
proach to this record was made in the
season of 1907 when the total value
of the commercial crop of cotton was
%l6,352,2 65.
$124,000,000, is added the actual wealth
producing capacity of the southern
cotton lands is shown to have been
1902, 8940o5 during the past season.
During the preceding season, that of
1oO8-o the value of all cotton pro-
duced was $683 1874, 494, and the cotton
seed was valued at $92,00O0OO. making
a total of $775,7o4,4o4. During the
past season the value of the cotton and
cotton seed combined surpassed the
previous season by more than $685.
100000
According to the report, the grade
of the crop was good, averaging prac-
tically "strict middling," bare shade
under last year, but not up to the lat
ter in body and strength and length of
staple. The average price of middling
cotton for the year is placed at 14.37
cents per pound, and the commercial
value of the bales at $73.41, against
$4o.4o last year and $5S 10 the year be-
fore.
The report places the actual growth
at 10,58o,000 bales, and says that as
the result of the high prices the inte-
rior has practically been swept clean,
farmers having little or no old cotton
left over and southern mill stocks hav-
ing been materially decreased.
The report of the crop in the princi-
pal states is given as follows:

for factories by installing a sprinkling
system fed from tank Of water on
the roof is essentially a good one;
but there should be periodical inspec.
ton of the tank. Many serious acci'
dents to buildings lately have been
caused by the rusting out of the sup

through the roof. The latest incident
of the kind occurred in New York the
other day at the West End theater.
The damage was chiefly by water,
5000 gallons CT which dashed through
the building from roof to basement,
