The Dream of tbe Cotton Producers at Last R^aiizad. August* Cbrouiclc, Februar) 4. Tbe cotton market was the topic of onoversatieo io tbe commercial onoie Of Augusta v' htorr|uy. Tbe quotations io yesterday'* Chron iote io reference to tbe lool mafket, and tbe interesting letter of Atwood, Violet ft Co., published in tb? same issue of thin paper, caused considerable oommeut, not only on Cotton Row, but io all busioess oiroles. There was a new impetus given to all business ventures and an atmos phero of hope buup around tbe oommuoity. Tbe farmers' dream of 8 cents oottoo had been realised, and tbe realisatioo has orystalitod into a halo of promise, of hope and of good oheer, hovers all the sooth. Koowiog that the oottoo moo would be discussing tbe situation, a Chrooiole reporter sauntered around oo Cotton Row aod sought ioteiviews oo tbe subjeot .with several of tbe most prominent f'aotcys of .he city [o speaking of the market one of these gentlemen said: "Tbe Frenob statistician, Pasch, and that ally of English spinoors H M Neil9 at tbe beginoiog of tbe reason chirged that tbo southern farmers bad eotered into a oonspiraoy to raise tbe prioe of oottoo, and that they were raising a groat boe and ory about a short crop. We can now see who were the ooospirators, aod that those very meD wbo were obargiog this qigaotio crime to the southern oottoo producer, were tbetnseives tbe aroh conspirators. Neil aod his allies have done all io the r power to prevent a rise in tbs prioe of tbe staple, but tbeir dastardly efforts have failed, as present prioes show " Another factor, wbo is thoroughly oooversaot witb the 6i'uation, said : ' There is one feature of tbe situa tioo which you might stress. The factories have maoofaotured 150 000 tool of fertilizers loss than tbe corrcs ponding date for last year. There i? a shortage of 2.000,000 Dales of cot too, as compared to the season of '98 '99. This means 60.000,000 bushels of ootton seed less than* last year. With a decrease in tbo fertilizer output and a shortage of nxty millions of busbc s of ootton scod tbe firmer* wtil hardly use as much fertilisers f^r tbe coming orop as was used last and previous scust'Os As tbe use of iertil sors materially affects too pro d^ctioo, we may reasonably expeo tbo crop of 190*> to be short in pro? portion to tho deorease in the use of fertilizer*. A farmer can pel; bis orop today for a tit fall's delivery at 7 I 4 oents, and it is oot likely that price will go below that figure, unless present indioitioos count for uaught.'' AT WOOD, VIOLET & CO'S COT TON LETTER New York. Feb 2 ?Me?s*s Atwood, Violet & Co. of New York, have just itsued tbe following oircular : "The coffno exports from Anierioa from Jan 27.h to Aug 31s>, 1899, both inclusive, were 4 129 000 bales. ??From Sept lit, 1899. to Jao 27th. 1900, there bad been exported from this oountry nearly 1,900 000 b*ies less than from 8*pt 1st, 1898, to Jau 27th. 1899. "Consequently, to equal tbe total (Xpori? from Sept 1st, 1898, to Aug 3lst, 1899, tbtro must be exported (rom this oountry, from Jao 27th, to Aug 3ht, 19, 6,500.000 bales of ootton ; to show tbe impossibility of cxp>ns of any such quantity, wc sub mil tbo following : "Tbo total visible supplv of Amerv oan ootton in this oountry ou 27tb\iostaut was 1,748,000 bales, and on the same dato, tbe amount marketed of tbe pres? ent orop, aooordiog to the Finanoial Coronioio. bad been 6.578,819 bales. "Assuming aa we do that this crop will reslize 8,750,000 bales, it means thst the invisible supply in this coun try was, on the 27th instant, about 2,200.000 bales, which, added to the visible supply, gives a totsl of both in this country, on the 27th instant, of about 3 94S.000 bales "The Finaucial Chronicle of the 27th instant, makes southern con sumption to that date since Sept 1st, 1899, Gil.000 bales, and northern mill takings to name date 1,583 393 j bales, an aggregate of 2,193,000 balea. "The total of northern apinnera takings and southern consumption, tor all of last season was .'I 589,404 bales Consequently, if this country coiiHumcH no more than I aal season (when an it will consume 260,000 to 1500,000 hairs io excess of last sea son), it means that to equal it, 1. 390,000 bales will be required be tween Jan 27th and Aug 8Ut, 1900, for domestic consumption, in addi? tion to 2.103,000 balea, ue, above, tu the 27th instant "Then, again, there moat be car rlad over Oil Sept Int. next, in this country, at least 400,000 bales of visible and invisible supply, and deducting these two amounts from 3.948,000 bales, it shows that there will be left for export, noi only to Europe, but to Chins, Japan, Mexico and Canada, from Jin 27th to Aug 31st, 1900, about ?2,152,000 bales, against exports during tbe same period last year of 4,129,000 bales ?'These figures are startling be? cause of the supply, particularly when taking them in connection with the world's consumption of Araeri can cotton in regard to which wc havo to say, as follows : "According to tbe authority on European mill stocks and consump? tion (Mr Thomas Ellison) tbe aggre gate amount consumed by Engiieh and Continental spiners is now 163, 000 bales weekly, of all kinds, of 500 pounds each "Taking the daily report of the Liverpool market, it shows that the proportion of American cotton sold, to that of all kinds, is about 90 per cent, and, no doubt, the same pro portion is true of the daily conti nental sales of cotton of all kinds Assu'u; <g, however, that only 85 per cent of European consumption is American cotton, and this represents, out of 163,000 bales weekly, about 139,000 bales of American 1 The weekly consumptiou of south ern mills, according to the Financial Chronicle and Secretary Hester, is 30,000 bales "The consumption by notbern mills must certainly be 40,000 bales week ly, or a total of 209,000 bales "To this must be added tbe con? sumption of American, by China, Japan, Mexico and Cauada, and elsewhere "Assuming that this aggregate is only 6,000 bales weekly it gives a total weekly consumption by tbe world of 215,000 bales of American, or 11,180 000 bales per annum "It can be safely said, however, that the spinning world is today consuming, of American cotton, an amount per annum of 11,250,000 bales, equal to the largest oonsump tion on recotd?that of last year, when it was largely stimulated by tbe low price "The world's buying power, how ever, has increased so matorially during the past twelve months, as to show that the higher pricea for cot ton, ipstead of lessening consump? tion, ia stimulating the productive ness of tbe world's cotton roanufac turing industries. "VVith the crop this season of even 8,750,000 bales, and adding to it 11,000,000 bales brought over on September 1st last, of the world's visible supply of American of 1,962, 000 bales would still leave on September 1st, 1900, a deficit be? tween supply and -consumption of 1,500,000 bales, but it would also leave the world's visable suppply dangerously smaller than on Septem? ber 1st, of any year si. ce 1889, the crop of which seasot was 7,311,000 bales and at which time the price of middling cotton in New York was 11J cents against 8J cents today "Any one cau reasonably antici pate from these statistical conditions, as we have presented them, an ad vat ce of great proportions, and, in giving this data as herein contained, we do so in order to show what has been, tor a long time past, the basis of our bullish views for the staple, and which we have continually put forth, in our market letters to the iooal and southern press, during the past five months.

Careless driving on the streets last Wednes? day was tbe cause of iwo acc dents and ib*t tbe two men who were hurt were uot ?eriously injured is due to good fortune. The victim of ihe ?isi accident wad Mr Mannte Brown, of tbe Oswego neighbourhood He is a rheumatic cripple aod unable to walk and in bi9 case escape from a seriou9 injury wus remarkable. He was sitting m bis buggy, which was standing on tbe street, and tne driver of one of Shore Bros' wagons ran into the buggy, overturning it und throwing him out At first it was thought that he was killed nut be rev.ved in a snurt 'ime aud it was luu (1 tnat oeyond a shaking up and a oumber of bruises be bad escaped Mr. i: M.

He was run over and knocked down by a driver from one of tbe stables who was exercis? ing a horse Mr. Jenkins was struck la the side by tbe end ot tbe shift and knocked about ten feet. Tue breath was koccked com? pletely out of his tody aod be had to be picked up by bystanders wbo witnessed tbe accideut. He wa9 severely bruised but so tar as cau be determined no bones were broken, aod unless be susuioed internal injuries the injury was not of a serious oature It is said that the accidents were due ia both ustances to tbe careleEsae39 of the drivers, and that neither Mr. Brown nor Mr. Jenkins ' ere in anywise responsible COUNCIL MEETING.

THE PAULI8T MISSION. The mission conducted by Falber Burke at St Jose, b'e Chape: was well attended. Oue of th'-' most interest tr fe?tures of the mie eio ] was tbe Q lest on Box A great many qtlt-tiODI were answered in an intelligent ranter oy Fntber Burke We print below bo remarks in reference to the infallibility of tbe Pope: also as <o why be was a Catholic : "Does 'be infallibility of tbe Pope roeao that be caur.ot cociirtif sin?' Falber Burke replied in substance as follows: Such a question could arisf only from a mtsiaxen notion of what is the Catholic doc tiine of Iftfoilitilitv. In the 6ret place let me tell you what it is not. Wteo we9ny tbe pope is infallr le we do not mean that he is imueccaole ; we do not ma?o that be cannot commit sin It would be j i?t as reasonable to say that a judge or the supreme court, in virtue of bis ? ffi:e, could no:, in his private life, be guilty of a oreacb of th? law as to say tbit the pope, because be is infallible, cannot como.it a sin. What, then, is iofalli bility ? Le; us come to it in th s way Sap pose you htppeoed, to be traveling in R. me and you met the pope You asked him socce queetioo about belief or moral conduct. He answered you. Would bis word be fnfalli* ble ? No, it would not. Suppose again, you went to St Peter's ?nd beard the pope preacb upon some point of faith or morals, would his utterance be infallible? No, it would not. Suppose tue pope wrote a letter to you, or wrote a book, would tbe opinions or be? liefs there set down be his infalliblerjecisioo*? No, they would not. Again, suppose you were to ask tbe Pontiff bis opinion, let us say, about Sootb African politics, or about bimetallism, or any ether question, would not tbe Pope's words on any of these points oe infallible? Most assur? edly not. Tbe infallibility of tbe Pope does not, therefore, mean that be is inspired as Holy Scripture is inspired, or that be can re cm vp or give to men a new doctrine other tbao those taught by Christ and His apostles: it does not mean that be can decide matters of science or fact entirely independent of doc? trine; it does not mean that be cannot err when be writes or talks or preaches on mat? ters of religion The Pope is infallible only when, as a teacher of tbe who e church, be pronounces that a certain doctrine of faith or morality is contained in the deposit of faith " '?Why I am a Catholic " Tbe discourse dealt with tha fundamental reasons why a Catholic sees in h s church tbe means of salvation. In one portion, dwelling upon the necessity of a living, infallible teacher, Father Burke laid : "Uooaralleled as the Bihle^:9 as a writ en work, divinely inspired as no other word is, tbe otject of the deepest reverence of all Catholics, there is one thing which it is not and cannot be, that is tbe sole guide to our faith. Jrsus Christ did cot leave one single docu? ment behind him. Christianity existed for nearly ten 5ears before the first word of tbe New Testameot w&s written ; it existed for nearly sixty years before tbe last book was written; it existed for nearly, lour hundred years before the C ?non of the Scriptures was fixed. It existed for nearly fifteen hundred years before th? invention of printing, op to which time it was impessib'e to spread tbe written ttotd Sufficiently to make it the teacher cfmen. We must have another guide to religious train therefore, and that we, find in a living, infallible Church, divinely guided to lead men, and when necessary to inter? pret ibe Scripturee themselves."
