Statistics showing that more cot ton waa handled during the commer clal year ending at midnight Tues day night than ever before and that all records had been broken In the amount of cotton consumed by Southern mills was the features of the annual crop statement of Secre tary Hester of tbe New Orleans cof 1 t©n-creh*flfr* Thif ddctfiffeirrfbftn J.he pr.eUmln&rx_uu>oLL of -aacreur^ Hester’s annual review of the com mercial year. The count of the commercial crop showed It to be the largest on rec ord, 13,825,457 bales. The previous largest commercial crop was 13,565,- 585, marketed In 1904-05. Last season's total was only 1 1,571,966. The very large total for this year’s crop was a surprise to the trade Including both the .bulls and the bears, and If the figures had been Issued while trading was going on it is probable that they would have had a depressing effect on prices. The most important features in the report next to the size of the crop Itself was the statement on the amount of cotton consumed by Southern mills during the season which closed Tuesday. Here all the records were again broken, the total being 2,55 9.873 bales. This point was regarded by the bulls as being even of more importance than the size of the crop itself. It was tak en as official confirmation of tlte many stories of the great expansion of cotton manufacturing in the South. The figures compared with 2,1 93.000 last season and 2,439,- 000 (wo seasons ago. In the point of port receipts an other record was broken. Net re ceipts at all ports of the season were nut at 1 0,062,845 hales, against only 8.579,842 last year and 9,919,555 two years ago. IJvierpool will have the first chance to trade on the report. The trade la about equally divided In opinion over the effect of the total, bulls claiming the bearishness of the big crop, is more than offset by the bullishness of the big consumption In spite of the claim of the bears that It Is a decidedly bearish docu ment.

IftscrlptlDR Wanted for Woman’s Monument SOON TO BE ERECTED Clmlnnan C. Irvlue Walker Asks the Men of State to Suggest Suitable Words for the Memorial to be Erected on Capital Grounds In _ Columbia. '“Wtiiit dd‘'thVWefl of Soorr Car- aUna -owe to- the womenCon federacy?” asks the Columbia State. The State then goes on to say that the funds for a memorial to be erected on the capitol grounds have been raised. Sculptor F. Welling ton Ruckstuhl is now designing the monument and the design has been declared one of the most artistic ever prepared. On the monument just in front of the State house, erected by the women of South Car olina to the soldiers who died for the “Lost Cause,” are two beautiful inscriptions. These recite the valor and heroism of those "who, true to the Instructs of [thedr birth have glorified a fallen cause by the. sim ple manhood of their lives and their patient suffering.’ and in the dark hours of Imprisonment, in the hope lessness of the hospital, in the short, sharp agony of the field, found hope in the belief that at home they would not be forgotten.” Th£se were some of the words inscribed by the women of South Carolina on tbe monument to the soldiers. it is now necessary for the men of ^he State to send to the eommis- -i°n in charge of the work of erect- lug a nmnument to the women of the Confederacy suitable inscriptions for the tribiit'te to their self-sacrifice and devotion. \ The fo!!ov\\ng has been issued: South CarhJiua Commission for the Monument to the Women of the Confederacy.
