WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.

New York. Sept. 19-The cotton market has shown continued strength and activity during the past week, with prices making new high records for the season on reports of damage to the crop from excessive rainfall in the south December con tracts sold as high as 1340c at the opening here on Thursday morning, or Sl2.S5 per bale above the low records of last August and, while this price seemed sufficient to at tract good deal of realizing as we'll as considerable selling for a reac- tion, there has been good support on comparatively moderate setbacks.
 Crop damage reports have been coming in from eastern as well as western sections of the belt and pri. yate condition figures have indicated deterioration of from 2.9 to 49 per cent in the crop outlook between the date of the September bureau report and the middle of the current month. This additional cause for apprehen- sion of a short crop has evidently made a considerable impression on sentiment and it was reported yester- day tha. trade interests were becom- ing more active buyers on all the de- clines. There are many, however, who are not yet prepared to accept the extremely bullish view of the yield, several estimates from more or less prominent authorities, placing the yield at from 14,500,000 70 15,000,- 900 bales, and buying has also been restricted by the execution of greatly increased southern offerings with the advance of the picking season.
 With clearing weather bearishly disposed traders expect a rapidly in creasing movement, which they doubt the ability of the world to ab- sorb above the 13-cent level. particu- larly in view of unfavorabla trade accounts from abroad. This theory or the part of some of those who anticipate ultimately higher prices, combined with the operations of the traders who hold more optimistic views of the crop. and fear of de- clining trade has held advances in check and doubtless accounts for considerable confusion of he senti- ment around the local ring.

THE IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

The proposal of placing the whole Of Hot Springs into an improvement district for the purpose of raising money for permanent Improvements, will meet with some opposition from some people, ye. when analysed 1t is practically nothing more or less than the bonding of the city.
 If the city had a right to issue bonds, they would be issued and the money received and expended in i'm provements.
 The improvement district plan merely means that the credit of the city, through it's property owners, is pledged for certain sum to be spent, in improving the city
 A bond issue would mean the same thing-that the property of the city would be pledged as security oD bonds.
 The only opposition ever offered 70 the bond issue or the improvement district plan is the probable misuse of the moneys raised. Certainly that is not valid objection, for if we have come to the stage where We cannot trust each other or trust our selves, we are in bad shape.
 Little Rock, the growth of which city is the marvel of the south, made its splendid advancement when I. re- solved itself into an improvement district plan, raised money, made public improvements. and business activity followed.
 The Little Rock people are so pleased with their system of i'm provement that they are very anx- ious that we try it. Mayor Taylor and other aggressive citizens of Lit tie Rock are willing to spend their time and money coming here to talk over their experiences with the inn provement district plan
 This is really crisis in the history of Hot Springs. The city is going 70 take sudden shoot forward, and have an unprecedented development, or elsa it is going to do what |: never did before, and that is, stand still, or go backwards.
 The future of the city is with the people of the city. If they will as semble, go over plans, cooperate in working them out, and act with 8 unity of purpose. the Hot Springs of year or two years from now will prove 70 us that the fire of 1913 was really a blessing in disguise.
