Ruda, Tex., Sept. 6.— Oscar Pogue
of Blum and E, F. Corgrove of Venue
The proposed visit of a large num-
ber of British iron and steel manu-
facturers to the United States this
fall, following the annual meeting held
in this country a few years ago by the
British iron and steel institute, led to
the suggestion in a recent issue of the
Manufacturers' Record of an interna-
tional meeting in this country of men
interested in the manufacture of cot-
ton. The acquaintance made through
the gathering of the iron men proved
mutually advantageous to manufac-
turers in this country and in Europe,
and It is believed that similar advant-
ages for the cotton-mill men would
flow from an Interchange of opinions
at some point in the south where a
view both of cotton-growing and cot-
ton-manufacturing might be easily
enjoyed. Foreign spinners are depen-
dent to a large extent upon the south
for their raw material, and yet prob-
ably the majority of them have never
made a personal study of this section,
and know comparatively little about
its advantages for cotton-growing as
compared with the rest of the world,
and still less, by personal investiga-
tion, of the development which has al-

San Francisco, Sept. 6.—Ten thou-
sand sir knights marched for miles
through the gayly decorated city
streets today, inspired by the music of
forty bands and the cheers of thou-
sands of spectators which lined every
foot of the way, crowded windows and
doorways and filled the grandstand and
review stands erected for the purpose.
The order of formation included twelve
grand divisions. The parade moved
promptly at 10 o’clock, the appointed
time. It was headed hy a squadron of
mounted police, Sir Knight George W.
W. Wittman, chief of police, command-
ing; Commander of the Parade Charles
L. Field, grand cptain general of Cali-
fotnia, and his chief of staff, Sir Knight
George D. Clark. In this section were
two carriages. the first carrying Most
Eminent Sir Bates Stoddard, grand
master of the grand encampment of
Knights Templar of the United States
of America, and Most Eminent the Bari
of Buxton, grand master of the great
priory of England and Wales. The
hitter was the center toward which all
eyes were focused, the throngs seem-
ing to be eager to catch a glimpse of
the noble gentleman who represented
King Edward of England.
The parade was one of the finest ever
seen in San Francisco. It occupied
nearly three hours in passing a given
point, though at no time was there any
protracted delay. The advance along
the line of march of the larger
commanderies was sfgallzed by con-
tinuous cheers and when the band
heading the Kentucky contingent
struck up ‘'Dixie” the enthusiasm of
the spectators was unbounded.
From careful reports gathered by the
Californfa promotion committee it is
estimated that about 125,000 strangers

New Orleans, Sept. 6.— Secretary
Blester's annual report was issued in
full today. He puts the cotton crop
of 1903-1904 at 10,011,374 bales, a de-
crease of 716,185 under that of 1902-
1903.
He says that, compared with last
year, in round figures, Texas, including
Indian Territory, has increased 45,000
tales. The group known as other gulf
states, consisting of Louisiana, Arkan-
sas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma
and Kansas,.ba lost 430,000 bales and
the group of Atlantic states, Alabama,
Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia, has
fallen off 332,000 bales.
Mr. Hester’s report on the crops of
the different states is given as follows
in thousands of bales:
Alabama, 1000, against 1050 last year.
Arkansas, 705, against 1000.
Georgia, 1325, against 1470.
Florida, 55, against 55.
Louisiana, 824. against 824.
Mississippi, 1387, against 1404.
North Carolina, 553, against 515.
Routh Carolina, 826, against 970.
Tennessee, etc.. 421, against 509.
Texas and Indian Territory, 2875,
against 2831.
Total crop, 10.011, against 10.728.
He makes the actual production of
Indian Territory 266,055 bales, against
869.251 last year; of Oklahoma, 177,057
bales, against 186,000 last year, and of
Missouri, 84,367 bales, against 35,906
last year, the two last being included
under the head of Tennessee, etc;
He puts the average commercial
value of the crop at 861.38, against
$44.52 last year and $41.01 the year be-
fore, and the total value of the crop at
$117,501,548, against $480,770,202 last
yean
in reference to the total value Mr.
Hester says that while the crop is
smaller by 00 bales and odd thousand
bales than last year and is less by
1,263,000 bales than the crop of 1898-
1899, which was the largest ever mar-
keted. it has brought a better return
in money values than any ever pro-
duced in the south.
Referring to the increases in values
over last year, he gives details as to
prices, showing that whie the lowest
range of last season was from Septem-
ber to January, inclusive. this year
the highest range of values was during
the period of marketing the bulk of the
crop, and goes on to say the result was
the farmers obtained more of the ad-
vantage of the rise.
In other words, there was marketed
up to January 31 of this year in round
figures 8,010,000 bales, which sold for
$447,710,000, white up to the same pe-
riod last season the amount marketed
Was 7,985,000 bales, which brought
$336,665,000, a difference Of only .250,-
000 bales and an Increase in the
amount received of over $138,000,000.
Further referring to crop values, Mr.
Hester says that when it is considered
that the combined values of the last
three crops resulted in payment to
farmers, common carriers, merchants
and other handlers of over $1,536,000,-
000, the Importance as a great factor
in the prosperity of the south and the
entire county may be fully appreci-
ated.
He says there has been a tendency to
overestimate the value of both this and
the last crop by many millions of dol-
lars. and contends that the real facts
in connection with this year’s crop are
of themselves sufficiently gratifying. .
The consumption has been divided as

THE WEEKLY REPORT.
There le a General Deterioration In

Washington, Sept. 6.—The weather

though improvement is reported from

tral districts.

In oilier sections of the south cot-

looking for places to locate. It is be-
ing welcomed in many sections of the
south and good results are being se-
cured.
The same capital that is locating in
other places wil come to Texas if
properly looked after. It will come
to Austin if the proper inducements
are offered. That they can be offered
there is no doubt. That they can be
truthfully offered is evident. There-
fore they should be made to capital
forthwith. We have the country. We
have the location and we have the na-
tural advantages for cotton mills. We
could give auitablo grounds and we
could produc (We rew material that
would keep the mills busy the year
round. In addition to the cotton mills,
we could make good upon other propo-
sitions as well. We could give a flour
mill and other manufacturing indus-
tries all that they could possibly
want in the matter of location and
operating territory.
These facts should be properly pre-
sented to the moneyed Interests seek-
ing a place for investment. That they
can only be presented effectively in
one way is evident. The way is
through an accredited board of trade
authorised to speak arid act. That
such a board of trade is an essential
element in any community the size
of Austih is a fact that can not be, with
safety, overlooked. The Statesman
believes that the possibilities in this
