WEATHER AND CROPS
Conditions Have Been Favorable fol
Cotton Picling-The Gathering o.
Corn Has Been About Completed.

New Orleans Picayune Oct. ~: The
past week has been a period of favor
able weather conditions throughout the
cotton belt. No excessive precipitation
has been reported from any point, while
| the temperature has been rather char
acteristic of summer than fall. The
much feared early frost has utterly
failed to fi1aterialize, and as the average
date Of frost in the more northerly por-
tions of the belt is now practically at
hand, the danger of early frost would
seem to have disappeared. At the same
time the lateness of the crop makes a
late frost desirable, but a continuance
Of the present mild weather for a week
or two longer would practically elini-
nate the frost danger altogethe er, al
though the later the frost the better the
crop is likely TO prove.
The weather has been favorable to
cotton picking, and the work Of harvest
ing is making good progress. Improve
n1ert IS reported from practically every
portion of the cotton belt, and although
small crop estimates are popular, there
would seem TO be no reasonable ground
for actual belief in such estimates, al
though it is generally admitted that
nothing ike bumper crop is probable.
Speculation as to the size of the crop is.
always the rule at this time of the year,
and popular estimates at this early date
are by no means a safe guide to go BY.
The present season leaves more room
for doubt than usual owing to the ex-
#treme lateness of the crop everywhere.
The gathering Of the corn crop has
been about completed and the earlier
expectations of bumper crop, both in
quantity and quality, have been realized.
The rice harvest is nearing an end
also, and there is little or no room to
complain in the matter of yield Pro-
ducers are, however, complaining Of the
prices received for their shipments to-
market.

AN ATTEMPT TO FLEECE THE
GROWERS OF COTTON.

/ The climax Of the cotton bill of lading
controversy, which has been in progres,
several weeks, was reached few days
since when there was submitted on the
part of foreign bankers a scheme, the
substance of which is that on the pay
ment of s or 7 cents per bale there
would be issued guarantee bills of lad
ing on cotton shipped from United
States potts.
This demand is predicated ON the
statement that buyers of cotton in Eu-
rope have been swindIed on fraudulent
bills of lading. On this assumption it
would be in order for every class OF
trade to exact a guarantee from swim
dlers, which is absurd
If this scheme were effective it wou1d
defect from half million or more of
good dollars from the pockets of the
growers of cotton into the Golfers of the
bankers connected with the scheme.
Fortunately the Cotton Exchange of
New Orleans rejected this Scheme which
was transmitted through the ,intermedi-
ary of New York. Then followed a
like rejection and protests from all the
cotton exchanges of the South.
The situation in brief is plain. The
South has the cotton for sale to any one
who will buy. If the foreign buyers are
1istrustful of honest men with whom
hey have been dealing for years and
will not assume the risks attending all
legitimate business transactions, LET
hem pay cash down for all the cotton
hey buy, instead of the old and present
ysten1 of exchange, and after having
Fought the cotton let them ship it in
heir own way and they will then have
10, reason for complaint of being the
ictims of swindlers on fraudulent bills
I lading
To have suggested this demand of a
ak is, to say the least, an affront which
as been resented by and through the
otton exchanges of the South. II were
waste of time TO indulge further in a
ontroversy which, if LET alone, will set
e itself satisfactorily to all concerned

WELLMAN SAFE
He and His Party Fell in the Ocean but
Are Rescued by Steamer.

Walter Wellman,s attempt to eros!
the ocean has ended. fortunately with
out tragedy. His flight in the airshil
America from Atlantic City, N. j., was
one of the most daring and startling
events connected with the aerial demon.
strations.
Wellman in his perilous undertaking
was equipped with a wireless outfit and
all the needs for such an expedition, be-
sides provisions to last several weeks.
With the daring newspaper man were
five others. From the start their course
was made known until some part of the
machine became disjointed and out of
order. 1t was soon realized that his at,
tempt to cross the ocean would prove
to be failure, and from the moment il
became evident that he would not real
ize his anticipation there was entertained
apprehension for his safety and those
with him. In falling in the ocean they
were provided with life preservers and
providentially in their mishap they were
sighted from a steamer which speedily
,ame to their rescue when from 500 to
800 miles from shore.
If Walter Wel1man has failed to cross
he ocean in the America, he will return
1ome with valuable information CON
,erning currents above, which in time
nay become as well understood as the
currents which sweep over the ocean.
1t is gratifying, after all, to realize
hat Walter Wellman and his party are
II safe.
