In much bettcr condltlon than many
had supposed. Certalnly tho sentlmcnt
here has been gonernily bulllsh. Be
liovors in hlgher prlces thlnk that
splnners are ln many cases beconiing
alarmcd under a rcallzatlon of tho
fact that tho crop la really small, oven
lf the reccnt privatu cstlmate of 10,
088,000 bales may havo been rather
too low. Those flguren ahd some of
tho glnnlng rcturns aro regarded by
j somo as too small for tho averagc cro
dullty, but tho Idea ls sprcadiug that
apart from this the yleld is actually
several mllllons less than tho world's
consumption of Amerlcan cotton. Homo
bulls Indecd put the dlsparlty between
I supply and prospoctlvo demand, as at
I least 3,000.000 bales. More gcnerally
lt ls stated at 2,500,000, and tho pre
dlctlon ls mado that before the close
I of the season wholesalc curtallment
I wlll bc compnlsory. The yleld ls not
only small ln this country. but Is also
sald to bc much smallcr than usual in
-jgypt.
Somo rccent estimatcs of tho East
Indlan crop are smallcr than at one
timc. though the yleld In that nuartcr
ls expected to be eomparatlvoty llboral.
Of late Liverpool prlces have been
stronger than looked for, the spot
stiles there incrcaslug on Tliursday, and
from parts of Texae. Alubamu. the Car
olinas, TenncsKcc. Georgla and Louls- ;
lana reports have been received of a \
bettcr demand for tho actual cotton :
The fariners are bolievcd to huve sold '
conslderablo of thelr crdp at hlgh j
prlces and to be In a posltion to hold
the rcmalnder for some tlme to como.
Fall River mllls refused to accede to
thelr cmployes' rcquest to close on Frl
day, Decomber 24. for the Christmas
holldays, and this ia taken as meaning
that trade In that sectlon is in no bad
way. Indced the reports indlcute a
gradual improvement ln the buslness I
In cotton goods. Tho hollday trade |
bas been very uctivc. General trado is
Improvlng. Sllver has recently ad
vanccd matcrlally. whereby the buy- .
Ing power of the Oricnt has been sen- I
slbly -Increascd. On the other hand,
many corjsldcr prices altogether too
hlgh, and that sooncr or later thero
must be as disastrous a brcak In prlces
as thero was ln the Sully campalgn. j
This element c-xpects the South to ;
plant an enorino-js acrcagc durlng tho '
coming sprlng?one that may concclv- }
ably mean a crop. under favorablo con- .
dltions. of 15,000,000 bales.
Oh the advanco there has been heavy
liquldation by blg operators' and oth- j
ers. Federal legislation on the sub- j
Ject of cotton futurcs has been intro- |
duced und may be carried through dur- j
Ing the present ncfision of Congress. !
Cotton manufacturers are ln many -
cases bltterly rcsontful of the present ]
hlgh cost of raw matcrial, bcllevlng 1
lt to be largely due to spcculatlon. Tho
general sentlment elscwherc is.bullish, (
however, buscd on tho proposltion that j
considcratlons of supply and demand
must ultlmately force prices to a hlgh- j
er level. however rcgrettable from the
manufacturers' vtewpolnt this may bc.

NEW YORK, December 24.?The lat

young Dano. who sald a fellow coun

"I must ask that the man's namc bo
not made public," ho sald. "He ls an
acconipllshed journallst, a Dane by
blrth. who has llved in England, and
has a full command of tho Engllsh
language. I know that ho wroto
large portions of Dr. Cook's story as
It wus afterward publlshed ln this
