Some Interesting Facts.
in an article upon !he subject
in the current number of Textih
America, Colonel Alfred II. Shop
person, of New York, the cottoi
expert, undertakes to ex pi air
why cotton has not advanced
The reason tor the decline Iron
July-September prices, he says
was the fact that tlie higher price:
which obtained during and be
tween these months was purely
speculative, and on many occa
sions the quotations were meieh
nominal. Meantime, cotton clothi
were selling at 5 9-19 cents pe
pound, being the lowest lor .">(
years. It has been found iin
possible to force the price o
manufactured goods up to j
parity with cotton at 8 cents pe
pound, hence the manufacturer:
have not gone into the marke
for more than immediate neces
sary supplies. In some instances
indeed, the mills have been work
ing on short hours, for the ven
reason that raw cotton was rela
tively too high for the manufac
lured products.
Colonel Shepperson concludes
however, that prices have no
reached a level at which manu
tacturers can buy at a profit
hence he looks for more purchase
by them. lie is also of tin
opinion, from Southern advice
received by him, that the cro]
will be much short of the forme
estimates by experts, and tha
the manufacturers wlm i?n int.
.. ?W px/ "??"
the market now will get thei
stocks about as cheap as they cai
be had this season. Should ai
early frost come along the pric<
would go up "by heaps am
bounds,*' Colonel Sheppersoi
says, and the manufacturer
would be left out in the cold
"Those who entertain the idei
that prices will fall to the figure
of 1894-'95," he says, "are hug
. ? 1 1 ""
King u vain delusion. The eon
(litions were essentially different
and I never again expect to set
middling cotton sell in New Yorl
for 5 9-16 cents, which was tin
price in November, 1 sb5.'' Ku
the early frost has not come, am
it is too late for it to come now
A?ot ice.
All parties indebted to us, pb
peeially those whom wo have car
ried over from last year and long
er, must come forward and setth
at once as no farther notice wll
be given. Remember we are no
doing a banking business am
therefore people owing us mns

money to Ewing college, to be
known as the Mary Elizabeth
Bryan prize fund. The income is
to be used annually during commencement
week in cash prizes
for the best essays on the science
ot government. Mr. Bryan's
mother was a student at Ewing
college. She was principal ol' the
young ladies' college and resigned
on account of ill health. Mr.
Bryan's sister was also a student
there. Judge Silas Bryan was a
strong supporter of the school.
Ewing college is situated at
Ewing, Franklin county, ten miles

and handsome commodious buildings.
Mr Bryan gave this fund
