THEODORE n. PRICE TALKS
ABOUT THE COTTON MARKET

Theodore H. Price, IN an interview
ssid that the governors of the Cot
ton States and the farmers OF the
South We're very much to be congrat-
ulated upon the result of the New
Orleans meeting That meeting,
he said, first put the world upon no
tice that the cotton producers of the
South were determined inteiigently
to protect their property. and did
not propose to have the fruits of their
toll wrested away from them at be-
low the cost OF production Since
that time although the large snort in
lerest in the market has been contin-
ually increasing their crop estimates
spinners have been buying and the
market has gradually improved
For the week ending today spin
ners. takings Of American cotton ag-
gregate 447 900 bales. These are the
largest single weeks takings on rec
ord in the history OF the trade, and
attest most dramatically the dispo-
sition OF spinners TO buy cotton at
present prices.
For the first time in the history
o. the trade also spiBners are making
contracts which run in many cases
two years ahead Future contracts
for delivery in August, 1913. are be-
ing daily traded in in Liverpool and
several instances are reported OF con-
tracts for delivery as far ahead as
1915.
The worldwide belief in the com
preston. and the present crop now
ent prices is thus finding daily ex-
preston. and the present rop, how
ever large il may be. is being in ef-
feet sold to spinners for one and two
years ahead.
Mr. Price said that even the high
est estimates promulgated by those
most bearishly inclined did not ex-
ceed 5000, 600 bales. He said that
although he himself believed that
such estimates We're th grossest ex-
aggeration, he did not think the mark
et was likely TO go any lower even II
the world became convinced the crop
was as large as these figures suggest
He said
This years consumption as esti-
mated by Ellison viii be 1890. 900
bales. II the crop be 16 600 900 the
indicated surplus is only 2.700, 0G0
bales. There are {, nut 100000 cot
ron farmers in tie South. according
10 the United sta te census. and If
each farmer held on the average a
bale and a half OF cotton. the sur
plus would be more than taken care

SERiuus CONDITIONS IN LONDON.

-
The famine in food stuffs which
il was predicted would hit England
in two or three days was felt severely
in London yesterday as result of
the dockmen' strike. The delivery
of supplies has ceased, 10000 cart
ers having yesterday joined the
strikers. Military protection against
the striking dock hands was asked
last night Of the government by the
Combined Millers' Association.
A bread famine seems inevitable
within three days unless there is a
change. The wholesale price of re-
frigerated beef has advanced from
to 10 cents pound. making the
price in the neighborhood OF SO cents
a pound. Tons Of California pears,
Tasmanian apples, and French fruits
are rotting in their crates, and Gov
ent Garden is almost without fruit
of any kind
Practically no business was dohe
on The Corn Exchange yesterday, as
the sellers were unable TO make dellv
cry. The railroad strike at Liver
pool has assumed startling proper
tions. and the entire country seems
strike mad. Not only are all freight
trains tied up, but passenger traffic
is threatened.

who prides himself in the title Yankee
Halter, Tuesday night publicly burned
the Stars and Stripes IN the streets Of
Woodstock. A few hours before,
someone in spirit of mischief had
nailed an American flag above the door
of his shop. When Midgeley saw the
flag he called his laborers around him
and walking to the middle OF the street,
lighted Ere and burned the flag. Then
he scattered the ashes about the streets
that the horses might tralnple them
under their feet. His action was ap-
plauded by large crowd. American
residents will bring the incident to the
attention of the consular authorities

that a stranger in a saloon had giyel
