In his opinion the most optimistic construction that it in possible to put upon the Gov ernment report duett not justify the expectation of 5 crop of 10,000,000 bales of American cotton. He e?y a further thut, for t,ho com i ntf tfeason, tlx; world will require, on u conservative estimate, ll,2f>0, 000 Wles of A uf?.ric?in cotton, l^c points out, that there is, therefore, n theoretical deficiency between the maximum supply and minimum de mand of at least 1,250,000. An act ual deficiency in commercially un thinkable, he add*, and pointw out ,y that the price must g o to a figure that will check consumption. Continuing, ho says : "This price is by no moans reached as yet. -America hats a practical monopoly of cotton production. Peace reigns universally throughout tho world. I f Industrial and commercial enter prise is unchecked and expanding. Next to food stuffs, cotton is the most important and necessary atuplu consumed by civilized so ciety. "I think it entirely probable that ?i?fore any effect upon consumption! is apparent, cotton will bo selling At 10 cents a pound in the South *nd I doubt if the advance will stop there. If producers of the article are wise, they will demand and ob tain that figure. N MOST COMItRMUIilaE. Solicitor J. Win.

In Cuba it haa been shown by recent practical experiments that the deadly ?'yellow jack" is com municated by certain kinds of mos quitoes that infert the stagnant pondd and the Jlllliy harbors ol Havana and othei Cuban citiea. New Jersey, a state which suffer* more from the mosquito than any other American commonwealth, lias recently gone about the extermina tion of tiie mosquito in an ener getic, businesslike way. Expert scientists have been employed to devise a method for the complete destruction of the disagreeable and dangerous insect. A largo appro priation has been made, $10,000 of which sum has been made immedi ately available to cover all the stag nant. ponds and marshes with oil. l'he effect ban been immediately observable anil the people of New Jersey ate hopeful that the day, or rather tljc -night, of the jAogquito will soon be a tiling of the past.

The two-year-old von of Mr. Henry JdcKagen wan run over on Dugan street to-day by a two. horse ; wngon, driven i>y James Ludd, col ored, and painfully injured, Two of Mr. McKagen's children were playing in tho middle of the street, and when the wagon ap proached at a trot they made no elFort to get out of tho way until the team wan almost upon them. They Blurted to run out of the way, but tho little boy tripped and f?dl with his head io tho rut. The next instant the vragon wheel* struck him. Mr. I). J. Chandler who wsta passing on a bicycle picked the child up and carried him into the bou?e to his mother, lllood was gushing from his mouth and he wan apparently in a dying condition. Mr. Chandler then pursued the wagon and catching tip with it in O'Donnell Co's. lot had Ludd a rrestpd. Ludd Bays that he did uot see the children in the street and did not know that he had run over the lit tle boy until he was arrested and told what he had doue. Mr. Chan dler says thai Ludd acted as if he did not know that he had run over the ohild, for ho drovo right on and although he called to him to etop he did not do so nor did he drlvo any faster. The accident seems to have been the result of the carelessness of Ludd, who was not looking ahead to boc where ho was driving, as he should have done, and to the fact that the children wore playing in the street whero they should not jhave been. An hour after the accident the little hoy had regained conscious ness aud examination showed that he was not /atally injured. There is a severe cut and bruise back of one ear where the wheel struck bun. but 1m is otherwise uninjured. The wheels did not pass over his head, but must have knocked him aside when the front wheel struck hi* head, for otherwise tlia skull would have been crushed aud the child in stantly killed. ?
