Cotton in still kitm in liie export records of the United States, and its record in the present year is likely to surpass that or any preceedinp: year, j The value of raw cotton exported in the eleven months endincr with May Is, according to liic preliminary hgures of th treasury bureau of stall tics, $.108,747,095, which is $5,000,000 in excess ol' the highest eleven months figures heretofore recorded by this preliminary statement. The highest eleven months' record for any earlier year was that for the eleven months ending with May, HUM, when the total stood at $303,497,017. SI oul I the figures for June of this year equal those of June In the immediately preceding years, the total for the fiscal year would be $.'117,000,000, or $4,000,000 in excess of the banner year, 1001. The quantity exported tills year is not as great as that of the years 1898, but, owing to the higher prices received, the value is very much greater than that of those years; and, as already indicated, larger thin that of the the corresponding months of any preceding year. The total quantity exported in the eleven months ending with May, according to the preliminary statement, is 3,481,353,287 pounds, against 3,208,021,478 pounds in the corresponding months of 1001, when the value was $5,000,000 less than at the present time, and 3,721,310,000 pounds in eleven months of 1808. when the value was $222,411,180. Thus the total quantity at the present time is 210,000,000 pounds less than that of the corresponding eleven months of 1898, but the value is $80,000,000 in excess of the value for the corresponding peril d of that year. The average price per pound of the cotton exported, determined by dividing the number of pounds into the value stated by the bureau of statistics records, is, for the eleven months ending with May, 1903, *.s7 cents, and for the eleven months endi.?. ...4*1. XI.,.. I wnc - uiK wiiu i'lcij, ifT?o, Comparing the total values of rotton exported with those of preceding years, it may lie said that 1 *.??>:: seems likely to show the largest total value in raw cotton export of any year in the history of our commerce. In 1848 the total value of raw exported cotton was, in round terms $02,000.000: In 1800, $102,000,000; in Is70. $227,000,000, hut $1* 1,000,000 stated in gold; in 1880, $211,000,000: in 1800, $250,000,000; in 1000, $242,000,000: in 1001, $313, 400,000, and, as already indicated, seems likely to he. for looa, $-117,000,000. Meantime the value of cotton exported In manufactured form has also b "'*! hlifl ?? "'U1,it-* I (I*.'1 record in the present liscal year. The total value of cotton manufactures exported in the ten months ending with April is $27,932,550, indicating that the total tor the full fiscal year will in 1880 and $4,000,000 in 1870. At the same time the cotton manufacturers of the 1'nitcd States have increased and are still increasing their consumption of cotton both from our own tields and from abroad. The total numlier of hales taken by the mills of the United States last year for the first time passed the 1.000,000 line, the figures being 1,083,000 hales, against 3,(54 4,010 in l!?00, 3,325,000 bales in 1800; 1,705,000 bales in 1880, and 857,000 bales in 1870. Meanwhile the importations of foreign cotton, chiefly Kgyptlan, are growing with remarkable rapidity, the importation in the present year being likely to reach 80,000,000 pounds, to which may he added 20,000,000 pounds of "Mocks" or cotton waste, witli a total valuation of about $12,000,000 against 13,ooo,uoo pounds of waste imnnrled in 1 sua v:.liu>,l -it less 11luii $5,000,000.

The story is brielly told in Life letter of dismissal signed by Postmaster General Payne, which says: "The charges upon which your removal is based relate to your actions in tlie matter of the letting of the contract for money order forms. These charges were made known to you Wednesday morning, and a transcript of your answer thereto is enclosed herewith. "It appears from your answer that when the proposals of the dilfcrent competitors for the contract for supplying money order forms were opened, Paul Herman of Kutherford, N. .1., (formerly employed as foreman by the Wynkoop, Ilallenbeck. Crawford company of New York, by which company it seems your son is also employed.) was found to be the lowest bidder, his proposal lieing $ I.*>,000 below that of next lowest bidder, namely, the Wynkoop, Ilallenbeck, Crawford company: that the bid of Mr. Herman as sub mittcd was regular in form, and that he had deposited a certified check for *.">,000 as a forfeit, it further appears that within a day or two the Wynkoop, Ilallenbeck, Crawford company filed a protest against awarding tin contract to Herman, alleging that he was not financially responsible; that a short time thereafter Mr. Herman called at your otllce, and you advised him to withdraw his bid and reenter the employ of Wynkoop, Ilallenbeck, Crawford company, understanding at the time that such withdrawal would result in the contract being awarded to said company and consequently ii a loss to the government: that you offered to write, and did write, a lettei to said company, apprising it of youi interview with Herman, and usiug your good oil Ices in his behalf: that you advised Herman that his $.">,00( deposit would probably be returned ti him if be adopted your suggestion it further appears tliat you regarded Mr. Herman as possessing the me chunical qualifications requisite to tin proper performance of the contract and that it was not any part of youi duty to p;iss upon the question of hiresponsibility, financial or otherwise It. further appears that a hearing ha? been had before Gen.

Herman assisted in the drawing of the .specifications lor the contract and when the hids were opened it was found that Herman had become a competitor of the old company, undercutting their bid by about $4a,Ouo. The company protested against Herman's hid on the ground that lie lacked the facilities lor doing the work, and Herman asked for a hearing, which First Assistant Post master Hcneral Wynne gave last Monday.
