COTTON Prices ADVANCE.
GAIN DUE TO SUSPICION. OF
CROP ESTIMATE.
Outside Public Has Become More In
tercsted I'm Market, Account OF
Bull Speculation.

New York, Sept 30.---Cotton prices
have advanced mainly because t'.ere
is a growing impression in not a few
quarters that the crop has been over
Estimated. 1t Is believed that the
goevrnment crop report to be issued
on October 8 will be rather unfavor-
able II not decidedly so. Moreover
the speculation has latterly
been broadened. The outside pub
lie is taking more interest in it, en-
couraged in some degree, perhaps,
not only by the claims that the out
look is bullish, but also by the sue
cess which has thus far attended the
bull speculation in cotton. Manches-
ter has reported a better demand
for yarns and prices for cloths have
been stronger. Western houses have
been buying more freely. They Seem
generally inclined to take the bull
side. They have sent out crop esti-
mates OF as low as 1O,400,OO0 bales
as compared with the last crop of
1860. 600 bales.
Other Estimates.
Other estimates have been H.
100000 to 100000 bales and over.
Some contend that the crop is simply
late, especially east of the Mississippi
and later on the receipts will be so
heavy that prices will be unable 20
Withstand the pressure, but a lead
ing business journal here has pub
lished unfavorable reports on the
condition Of the crop in Georgia and
Alabama. On the strength of SINH
lar private reports from these States
and elsewhere one wing of th, old
bull clique is reported to have
Drought within a week something
like 100000 bales. Bulls insist that
the statistical position is far strong
er than 1t was a year ago when the
supply of cotton goods was much
larger than it Is now, and yet prices
We're much higher than now.
They think spinners at home and
@bT&.d have but small supplies of
the raw amterial and have got TO
BUY enough to offset any INCREASE in
the receipts. Rightly or wrongly.
the speculative world seems to agre-,
with this view, despite the admitted
siowness of the trade in cotton
goods. the political unrest the inn
pending Lancashire, lockout, etc.
Wall street, the South and Chicago
have been buying.
Today there was a strong openjne
and prices afterward worked IN 70
new high levels for the movement.
but toward the close prices broke
sharply under decidedly heavy offer
ings and almost all the gain of the
early session was lost.
There were frequent small reces-
sions caused by realizing, but the big
hnal break was caused by a report
that meeting called between En-
glish spinners and their operators
had adjusted without resort TO local
arbitration.

Political s ~ n May Be Mixed Up
Cons ( %Enorts to Clear Up
~

dmbia, Sept. 3O.-That p
4 man will not sc ree,ect;o, O.,
the United States senate is practical
~ assured. Close friends of the
United States senator say that his
health will not permit his return to
active politics. Those who have
visited Senator Tillman recently Civ.
the opinion that he is preparinp m
retire on his Trenton farm. II can
almost be positively stated that he is
through with politics in this State
according to intimate friends. Sena-
tor Tillman's health, however. is
very much improved.
Naturally the question follows:
Who will go to the United States
senate to succeed B. R. Tillman?"
There have been many names sug-
gested for the place and manv
changs in South Carolina politics are
liable to take place in the space of
two years. There is an effort on build
up several political possibilities along
this line.
Will Ansel Run?
Among those who have been
mentioned as likely to declare them
selves for the position are Gov. M
f. Ansel, A. F. Lever, congressman
from this district, and Lewis w.
Parker of Greenville. These named
have not said positively that they
would contest for senatorial honors
yet.
Gov. Ansel has stated that he in
tends 20 go back to Greenville when
he leaves the office of governor and
resume the practice of law. He was
for many years solicitor in the Pied
mont section and has a broad ac-
quaintance.
Gov. Ansel is not a man to talk
politics and has never intimated that
he would follow the game after leav-
ing the office of the chief executive
of the State. Yet he is one of those
mentioned =. 49,
Lewis w. Parker is the best
known and one Of the most capable
mill officers in the country. He has
BEEN a remarkable success in every
thing that he has undertaken. His
name has been mentioned many times
for the senatorship because it is be-
lieved that eventually the political
fever will catch him.
A. F. Lever, congressman from
this district, is also mentioned as
possible candidate for the position.
He has never made a statement but
two years ago was mentioned and
was considered a danergous oppon-
ent
There are others who might be
mentioned, r. Goodwin Rhett, mayor
of Charleston, being among them.
The contest is two years awav and
others may rise up and claim the
right for the position.

RECENT RUSSO-JAP CONVENTION
A PEACEFUL ONE.

Toxic, July marquis Katsura.

denied that the recently made con
vention between Japan and Russia
was Influenced by Secretary Knox's
proposition for the naturalization OF
the Manchurian railways. He said:
There is not the slightest fOunda-
ton for the assertions published in
Europe that the Russian-JapaneSe
convention was the outcome of the
naturalization proposition II had
absolutely no connection nor was IT,.
directly or indirectly, intended as an
answer to the United states.
"The convention was framed. prac
tically, long prior to any proposal
affecting Japan's interest in the rail-
roads of Manchuria. II was made
solely with the purpose of affording
a reinsurance Of the friendly rela-
lions between Japan and Russia and
of insurlng peace in the far east,
though at the same time with the
practical object of improving traffic
connections and working arrange
ments between the railroads.
