BERTA HICKS, () an to I FlUftL WORD WITH THE SPIl New York, Dec. 7, 1903. At the close of last season we advanced the belief that the American cotton crop of 1903-04 would be inadequate to meet the demand. At the beginning of this season we reiterated this same belief, which has been consistently and persistently adhered to by us to this day. Now, after a complete vindication by reliable and recognized authorities, including the Census Bureau and the Bu- reportg we feel we can with propriety and, we hope, without offense, refer to our rre(luent and urgent appeals to the Amerlcan spinner made during the past eight months, to buy his cotton, fx Lo nn nro anneal tno CO ma effect.

Theories are vain in the face of the conditions confronting the American spinner today. The commercial crop of the present season will fail to meet the demands of normal consumption, and restore the necessary equilibrium between raw material and manufacture, by 1,500,000 to 2,500,000 bales. It is, therefore, idle to make the bare, specu lative assertion that the Government estimates are too low. However comforting for the time being such guesswork may be, it is misleading and fraught with disaster to the textile in dustry of this country. The care taken in preparing the Gov ernment reports, the impartiality with which information is weighed, and the exceptional facilities afforded for the collection of data are sufficient guaran tees of their fairness and of their accuracy as forecasts.

The Census Bureau alone had more than 600 paid canvassers make gin to gin inspection of their districts. The Bureau of Statis tics had sources more extensive and presumably as reliable. Yet, without seeking to be pessimis tic we make this prediction: The estimate of 9,962,000 bales made by the Bureau of Statistics is too high by many thousands of bales. Circumstances, referred to in our previous circulars, ana otners, tnat need not be entered into here point to this. So far as the criticism that the estimate is too conservative la con cerned, we believe the Bureau would have regarded it highly unwise, in view of the prevailing high prices, to have placed its figures one bale below the number its information justified A word to consumption.

Last year consumption of American cotton was estimated by Mr. Ellison at 10,840,000 bales. The actual apparent consump tion was 10,890,000 bales, and this in the face of curtailment, and in many instances in this country, Great Britain and on the continent, entire suspension of mills due to exhausted stocks of raw cotton. In October Just past Mr. Ellison estimated the world's requirements of American cotton for this season at bales.

On November 10th, when cotton reached 11c. he revised this esti mate and placed it at 10,500,000 bales, predicting even still smaller consumption in event of higher prices. Here is our estimate on the consump tion of American cotton: Every bale of American cotton that America can produce and no more. It is not a question of price or the number of bales, but how much the spinner can get, at any price. The foreign spinner learned a lesson last year, and he has been buying his cotton early.

The American spinner has held back for lower prices. The ex portation of cotton reveals a condi tion that spells tremendous loss to American mills, unless immediate steps are taken to remedy it. Last year we had a larger crop than this, and Sep tember movements was the greatest on record. This year, with a smaller crop and the movement a month late, more bales had been exported up to Dec. 4th, than at the same time last year.

Last week 140,000 more bales were sent abroad than in the corresponding week last year. At least 50 per cent, of this year's crop already has been engaged for export. If the foreign mills are to get their cotton at lower prices it means that the American spinners will be undersold and driven out of the markets, both at home and abroad. Therefore we say to the American spinner, will you continue to let the foreigner get his cotton at low prices while you take the remainder at any figure at which you can buy it? High as cotton is, cotton is still too low. The commercial crop of 1903-04 means the cotton grown and picked in these years.

There is no surplus or invisible supply to fall back on. The price at which you can buy futures today will be cheap in a few months. Unless you enter the market at once and anticipate your requirements you will be compelled to close. Curtailment will not be on short time. It will be absolute.

It is useless to predict what you will have to pay if you wait. What does fif teen, sixteen, twenty, even twenty-five cents a pound mean when you cannot get the cotton? Our advice is to buy now, before it Is too late. DANIEL J. SULLY COMPANY. NO LONGER THAN YOUR HAND is the spo in your back directly af fected by lumbago.

I had used medicines and washes internally and externally until I made up my mind that there was no relief for me. Calling at the home of a friend, I noticed a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's YegetaDie com-nnund.

Mv friend endorsed it highly, and I decided to give it a trial to see if it would help me. It took patience ani! nerseverence for I was in bad con dition, and I used Lydia E.
