PREDICTS 25 CENT COTTON.
Prosperity Of South and Boil Weev
il Are Big Factors.

New Orleans, La, Dec. 19.-W. p.
Brown. noted bull leader IN cotton,
predicts 25c cotton. He was on the
exchange today, after a prolonged alb
sence in New York, and he was Civ
en- warm welcome. Mr. Browns
chief reason, or at least one of his
chief reasons for being so bullish
on cotton, is the great prosperity OF
the south, which enables it to market
its cotton to the best advantage.
People thought | was crazy last
year when ! said cotton would sell
at 2Oc a pound Mr.. Brown said.
"The time is coming, though, when
25c a pouni will be heard from. The
march of the boil weevil is ire
sistible; it is more of factor in
putting prices up than most people
think"

Mackey Says Competition With w.
w. u. Continues.

New York, Dec. 19.-Clarence II.
Mackay, on being shown the an
nouncement from Lonion that the
Western Union Telegraph company,
with two submarine cables from the
United States to Europe, has now ac-
quired control of the four subma-
rine cables owned by the Anglo
American Telegraph company, said:
"The only competition now left
is the Commercial company on the
ocean and the Postal Telegraph COM
pany on the land. The Bell Tele-
phone company has combined with
our only competitor on the land, and
with our competitor on the ocean
They have gotten together a vast
combination, and it is clear that If
the public wants competition the
public must rely on the Postal Tel
egraph and the Commercial cable.
We shall not enter into any combi-
nation. Neither shall We sell out.
We shall continue to compete and
give the fastest service. AS / stated
to the legislative committee in New
York last winter, the Postal Tele-
graph company will be the last
competitor in land telegraphy. ]
would now add that the Commercial
Cable company will be the last COM
petitor in ocean cabling. When that
competition ceases there will be
only a choice between monopoly and
government ownership

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 20.-Sena'
tor Burrows, chairman of the senate
