T., Feb. 3. The follow lng is tho New York cotton circular liy Mclntyre: The past week In the cotton mat' lect lias been n most eventful one, The prlnclpnl feature nppears to have been the culmination of tho bear movement of the past three weeks on Thursday morning when the last of JORDAN ON COTTON PRICES. President of the Cotton Association Talks of Conditions. Atlanta, Ga., Fol). 3. President Ilnr- vio Jordan of the Soutporii Cotton iissiiMutlon, today 'unied the following: The recent heavy dopreitlon In fie price of cotton contracts and spot cotton Is totnlly unwarranted from tho standpoint of legitimate supply und demand. The price of cotton should be based On its Intrinsic value unci not subject to the whims and fancies of speculation. It us examine tho statistical position of supply and de mand. Exports for tho season ending August 31, 1905, 8.7-IC.316 bales. Tak ings of American mills for same period 4,565,733 bales. Total for the past senson, 13,341,04!) bales. Exports since Sept 1 to Jan, 20, 3,048,000 bales. American spinners tnklngs for same period 2,272,583 bales, mnklng total of export and domestic tnklngs this ess son to .Inn. 20 of fi,220,C43, n differ ence of 7,120,400 bales between tho presFiit and past senson. Assuming that only 0,000,000 bales will bo re quired for export and domestic tak ings for the balance of the present senson as against 7,120,10G bales last year after hhiiio date, whore Is the cotton to como from to supply the de mand. Allowing for n crop of 10,250, 000 bales, there romnlns to come Into Bight 2,CC7,30!) bales. Port and In terior stocks are figured at 1,478.000 bales. If the Alnerlcnn mills take the entire port nnd Interior stocks and 721,000 bales from tho crop yet to bo sold to fill their demand?, It will leave only 1,947,000 hales of cotton for export to satisfy tho foreign spin ners' demand for nt least 3,500,000 bales and this figures the foreign de mand nt fully 1,500,000 bales less than was taken from that source Inst year. Those nre facts based upon acutal conditions. Yam spinners aro now selling their output on a basis of 14 cents per pound for the raw cotton This has been going on for months. Every halo, of cotton held In the South should easily command a price of not less than 15 cents, basis mid dling. Tho spinners can easily pay 15 cents for the balance of the unsold portion of this crop and will do so If tho spot holders stand firm. Specula tive manipulation by tho "bears" op- tlm Bfntlnnil wenk lonzs ns well as tho big cporators hero and at New crating In tho futuro market is no -,.!.. ...i i 3n, ..!, l.n.i guide to the true value of cotton. VJilVUUO UIIU ill wvuvii been adhering to tho bull side throughout the season on crop esti mates of 9,500,000 bales wore driven out nnd tho market was sold to a standstill by tho hear clemont. Then the march option sold as low as 10.71, May 10.88 and July 10.95 as ngalit 12.01, the hlghffit .records. Tho difference between this high and low lovel Is equivalent to 1 5-8 to 1 3-4 cents per pound, or $8.30 to ?.50 per bale. This dedlno has of course been on tho readjustment of Ideas lu regard to tho slzo of tho crop from low esti mates to conservative expiations of a total yield of 10,500.000 bales. In tho heavy selling for both long and short accounts during this decline, tho technical speculative position of tho stnplo as well as tho general mar ket sentiment completed unchanged no longer Is attention pnld to 15c cotton, and even 13 c Is now regard ed ns so romoto a probability that it is not expected to bo realized. Hold ers of, spots In tho South have been apparently satisfied with 11.25 to 11.50 cents and Judging from tho way tho crop has been moving lately n largo amount has been sold by factors and merchants who had moro than they could comfortably carry, and n great deal which has been held upon by tho salo of futures against It. Meanwhile foreign spinners ns well as domestic havo not only been will ing but nnxious buyers. They have been taking advantage of depression and accumulating supplies for tho hal anco of tho season. Locally a largo number of opera tors who had been bulling cotton at 12 cents per pound in expectation of realizing 13 cents or 15 conts per pound for it, appear to havo been forced out of their holding or elso influenced to tako tho bear side, and thoso operators aro now apparently tho most pessimistic and aro looking for tho prlco to drop to 10 cents. Under tho circumstances It looks to us, although wo had seen tho worst of depression for tho time at least, that tho market Is getting to a point for a good upturn ns well as tho bears now on which tho prlco haR broken $5 per halo In tho last ton days' lias como out and boon dis counted. Moreover where tho major ity of speculative element woro heav ily long n month ago, this Interest has boon almost entirely liquidated and is being roplncod with n largo nnd scattored slwrt Interest in the following recent bear movement nnd tondoncy to onlargo crop Ideas to around 10,575,000. oalos. Wo would theroforo rather adhoro to a scalp or's position on tho bull sldo nnd fa vor purchases and on furthor soft spots from this level than to adhoro to short sales. E. B. QUILLOT & CO. Telegraphic reports received by the association from all points in tho South Indicate that spot holders aro standing firm and will not sell nt de clines. Hold firm for 15 cents; tho cotton Is worth it, nnd I challcngo any spinner to show the contrnry at present prices of dry goods. Theodore Price is dally filling tho Southern press with misrepresentations of facts nnd doing all that money and Ingenious manipulation of figures can do to break the solid South. Spot holders In tho South should show by their firmness that thoy can nnd will repudlnto such men as Theodore Prlco and tho methods employed by them for purely selfish gnln. Those who hold will win the battle and get 15 cents for their holdings. HAItVIE JORDAN. Stock Market Letter. Stock Yards, Kansns City, Mo., Feb 3. (Special.)

To the Scotchmen of America THKRE is an article in Munsry's MaoAzink of great value to you an article you can not afford not to read. It is on TII1J SONS OK SCOTLAND IN AMERICA, and is a romance of Scottish brains and Scottish pluck and Scottish achievement. It shows the constructive genius of the race, and the tireless energy and fighting qualities of the race. The Scots, like the English and the Irish and the Dutch, were basic in our civilization. Imvc Scotchmen were among the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and of the fotlr members of George Washington's original cabinet, three were of Scotch blood Alexander Hamilton, Knox, and Randolph, Eight of our Presidents have been of Scottish or Scotch-Irish blood. A Great Series of Race Articles This is the second paier in a scries of race articles now appearing each month in Munsky's Magazinh. The first was on Tim Jitws in Amkkica. The third will be Tint Ghkmans in Ammrica. Then follow Tint Irish, Tim English, Thk Hwhnch, Thk Dutch, Thk Canadians, Tint Scandinavians, Tun Italians, and finally Thk Amhkicans in Amkkica. This is a great scries of articles which should be read by every one who is of the blood discussed, and every one of any blood at all who is enough of an American to wish to know who is who and what is what. This article on the Scots in America appears in ev's Magazine For February Illustrated with 18 portraits of leading Scots in America It was the romantic Paul Jones, a Scotchman, who founded our navy. It was a Scotchman who founded Princeton University. It was a Scotchman, James Gordon Bennett, who gave us our modern American journalism. And it was Andrew Carnegie, a Scotchman, Vho first organized our steel industry upon its present colossal scale, and who, beginning his career as n messenger-boy in Pittsburg, became in i short span of life the greatest ironmaster of the world and the second richest man tn the world. ' The February MUNSEY is one of the finest and most finished numbers in all that goes to make a high-grade magazine that we have ever issued. In the dignity and quality of its contents, in its press-work, including color printing, and in the ex cellence of the paper on which it is printed, there is no better magazine of the month at any price none better anywhere. On all news stands 10 cents ; by the year $1.00. FRANK A. MUNSEY, 175 Fifth Avenue, New York Muns TIME TABLE, Fritco. Eastbound No. 42 leaves.. 6:05 a. m No. 41 leaves 12:50 p, xa.
