shortage, therefore, is much more Sc
rious than has heretofore been sup
posed. In the same way New York
firms who have made arrangements
to make their May deliveries find that
shipments are being Unexpectedly de-
layed and fears are beginning to be
seriously entertained that irreg-
ularities in bills of lading will be
found to enter into the local supply
situation. The present so-called cor
ner may be said to mark a new de-
velopment in cotton manipulation.
heretofore the great spot houses, the
McFaddens and others, have usually
been sufficiently strong to bring for
ward enough cotton at the last mo-
ment to provide a deluge of deliver
les, and thus make an object for bull
operators not to force the situation

Hents a new factor, as it places, ac-
cording to a very general market
view. combination Of financial
strength quite equal to that Of the

time degree Of eNpertness in mani

Of the speculation is that the cotton

CROP DAMAGE NOT so BAD.
First Reports Exaggerated. Says
President Finley.

Washington, April 29.-Damages
40 crops in the Southern States east
OF the Mississippi River are not as
great as some of the first reports
seemed TO indicate. according to
President Finley. of the Southern
Railway. He said today that reports
show cotton and corn have suffered
IN the northern two-thirds Of the
states OF Mississippi. Alabama and
Georgia, but that further South these
crops were not injured. and that fur
ther North they were not far enough
advanced 20 be seriously hurt.
There Is still ample time to replant
both cotton and corn" he said, "and
M this Is done extensively the final
yield may not be greatly reduced.
Reports indicate a general suspen-
sion Of cotton seed crushing by oil
mills, with a view to conserving the
seed Sor planting. The peach crop
does not seem to have been material
Nv damaged. Melons and cantaloupes
nm southern Georgia may have to be
replanted to some extent Strawber-
ries suffered little. No damage was
done to fruits. vegetables or other
crops in Virginia"

The Cotton Situation.
w. r. PERKINS,

New York, Journal Of Commerce,
Wednesday,: "Thus far there have
been no private settlements arranged
between the cotton shorts and the
group Of operators, known as the
Big Four who are credited with
having corned the May option. And
last evening that no negotiations are
in progress looking to a compromise.

have had no difficulty in closing out
their short items at the market
when they have explained the situa-
ton. OF the Big Four, two mem
bers, namely, William p. Brown and
Frank p. Hayne, claim to be cotton
merchants and not spectators or
manipulators. Their business, they
argue, is selling to manufacturers.
Therefore, they study the situation
and finding the consumption far in
excess of the production they buy
cotton contracts and make arrange
ments to supply the customers. Eu-
gene \. Scales and James A. Patten
are more in the class of spectators.
But all claim to wish to take delivery
of the cotton they have purchased by
contracts. For they are not willing,
it Is understood to sell this cotton eX-

The curing. in order to preserve
the green color must be done under
roof and away from the sunlight
The tops from which the seed have
been removed are spread in layers
three inches thick in latticed racks
whore there is free circulation of air.
When no juice can be squeezed out
of the stalks by twisting them, the
curing is complete and the brush
should be removed from the racks
This will require from four to six
weeks. 1t is then bulked for a period
of ten days or two weeks to go
through a sweat when it is ready to
be baled. The tops should be very
carefully sorted into different grades,
as mixed brush never sells we'll The
baling is done with a horse power
press. The tops are Tapped together

butts stand out at each end. Bales
usually weigh about three hundred
pounds.
The crop requires very careful and
prompt work at every step and con-
