Closer to spinners.

New Orlcans-The New Orleans
cotton warehouse which is TO be built
by the board of port commissioners at
4 probable cost of S1,000,000 will en-
able the English spinners to get in
closer touch with the cotton producers
OF the South, according to w. B.
thompson, president of the Cotton Ex-
change. A movement to eliminate the
brokers or middlemen in the market
ing of American cotton has been taken
up and it is now proposed to buy the
white staple direct from the Southern
planter. Consignments will be ship
ped direct from gulf ports to Man
chester, through the Manchester ship
canal, instead of having to go to
Liverpool for distribution. Heretofore
two sets of brokers have been employ
ed in Liverpool. and the Manchester
sspiRHers- hope to- o-eiimfnate Them alto
gether. The New Orleans warehouse
will have capacity of about 250,000
bales, which is more than enough to
accommodate all the cotton that is
liable to be held at New Orleans at
one time

New Orleans SUGAR,

New Orleans.-A quiet but steady
tone ruled in Saturdays sugar market.
Receipts were light and all offerings
were taken up. Yellow clarified de-
clined &c to 5sc, while all others
grades were unchanged. The move
ment up to the noon hour amounted
to 2,S16 barrels. Refined sugars
were steady at quotations. New York
refined sugars were quiet and un-
changed. A letter from New York
said that Willet & Gray estimated the
Cuban crop at 100000 tons, Porto
Rico at 100000, Philippines at 1885,
600 and domestic beet at $4,000. Lon
don cabled that beet sugar was firm
and rather dearer; cane sugar steady,
with small offerings. Molasses was
steady ana trading was confined to
the light receipts. Prices were un.
changed.

COAL PRODUCTION OF TEXAS
Increased Output in the Lignite Min
ing Districts Last Year, But Less
Bituminous Mined Than in 1909.

! -s
Washington.-The production of
coal in Texas in 1910. according to E.
w. Parker of the United States
geological survey, was 1,S92.176 short
| tons, with value, at the mines, of
$3,160,965, slight increase over the
! figures for 1909.
! The total production of coal and
| Ignite in the State increased from
1924, ,440 Short tons, valued at S3,141,-
945, in 1909. to 1.ss2,176 tons, valued
at S3,160,965, in 1910, a gain Of 67,736
short tons. or 3.7l per cent, in guam
tity and of $4,000, or O6 of 1 per
cent, in value. The average price per
ton for the State declined from s172
to s1.67 The relatively smaller in
crease in value, says Mr. Parker, and
the apparent decline in prices are not,
however, indicative of an actual fall
ing off in values. The fact is that
there was in reality1a general advance
in prices, and the seeming inconsist-
! ency was due to an Increase in the
production of the cheaper Ignite and
a decrease in the production of the
higher-priced bituminous output Both
grades showed advances in price, the
average fcfs fslignite being 81 cents per
ton in 1919 sS5 cesSts II 1909.
and that Of the bituminous coal S2.37
against 1928.
The influence Of the coal strike in
the Southwestern States extended
into the bituminous coal fields OF
Northern Texas, and the production
for the State decreased from 1,112,-
228 short tons, valued at S2,539,064,
in 1909, to 1,01O,944 tons, valued at
$2,397,858, in 1910. Lignite produc-
tion. stimulated by the scarcity of
coal caused by the strike, increased
from 712,212 tons. valued at $602,S81,
to $751; tons, valued at s763,1O7.
The decrease in the production of BIZ
luminous coal was 101,284 tons; the
increase in Ignite production was
10000 tons. One county, Van Zandt.
was added to the ignite-producing 10
calities in 1910, otherwise the counties
producing both bituminous coal and
Ignite were the same in 1910 as in
1909.
The coal and Ignite mines of Texas
gave employment in 1910 to total of
4,197 men for an average of 234 days
The Ignite mines employed 1,131 men
for an average Of 30 days and the
bituminous mines employed 3,066 men
for an average OF 242 days, the work
ing time in the bit1lhinous mines, not
withstanding the time lost by the
strike, exceeding that made in the lig-
mite districts. The strike in the btu
minous mines Of Texas lasted from
April to June /, and involved total
of 1.776 men. Or So per cent of all the

the annual support of high schools
have been increased by $1,6SS,894.
The board has contributed between
100000 and 100000 to forty-one
schools for negroes. 1t also has aided
in fighting the boil weevil through
free demonstrations in Southern
States, having contributed 100000 for
this purpose. The salaries and ex-
penses of 219 agents are paid by the
