Politics have perhaps had some part an
public 10 act in the game is really where
the trouble lies.
Although IL cannot be said there Vas any
pronounced disturbance Of confidence,
nevertheless there was increased umidity
and conservatism on the part OF merchants
and manufacturers, which resulted IN some
cneck to the improving tendency OF trade
in the recent past. And the end Of this
political excitement Is not yet at hand, as
the Maine election viii occur Monday and
after that will come contests in various
states for the control Of nominating con-
ventions and finally there will follow the
November elections, which will decide the
complexion OF the next house of represen-
tatives a matter upon which great public
interest converges at the moment
There might be Just apprehension IN al
this as TO the future of the country trade,
II the nation did not have behind II IN
fluences OF a commanding nature that
must eventually override whatever political
results OF the November election.

Estimate on Cotton.
/ Estimates of the cotton crop have recently
risen TO 100000 bales. There are
numerous other crops that are usually re-
I garded as OF minor Importance, but, which
reach an aggregate value OF hundreds OF
millions of dollars. 1t Is said, OF course
that It is too early as yet to figure &C
/ harvests OF the year, but just now the
popular estimate is S,O0UO,09O II may
possibly go above that total. In this con-
nection the New Orleans figures OF last
years comparatively small cotton crop Q,
/ 100000 bales are very interesting. Ths

seed, the total value was brought up &c
! S912 S3i O95 an enormous amount for a

This great mass of agricultural wealth
| cannot be duplicated by any other natioT
of the world, and certainly forms q very
solid foundation for the restoration of this
prosperity to the country, such as wa
! Witnessed in 1906 and also IN iyU7, previous
to the memorable panic near the close o.
that year.
| 1t will be clear from the figures printed
that the situation possesses the REQUESTS
elements for encouragement on the par
of the fnanciers, merchants and manu-
facturers. What the country needs u
further the process of rehabilitation Is res
| from political excitement and wrangles. bu
IL this rest is not secured after the com
pletion of the harvests there is every rea
son to believe that the brilliant basis fol
! prosperity will arouse the latent spirit o.
American energy and then the country
will recuperate rapidly under a sentiment o
optimism, just as it did in the last half o
1903.
