COTTON HAD LITTLE LIFE.
An Advance Of Two to Four Points
for the Day.
THE SENTIMENT is VERY BEARlsH.
Large Receipts ana Small Demand

ofnce Of The Post,

Houston. Tuesday. September rs.
The market held its own today. and that
Is about all that can be said for It. Liver
pool futures showed very little change,
though few of the distant positions
were Ik-Gid higher at the close. Spots
were i-f6d lower In the foreign market,
with sales OF only 500 bales New Orleans
futures were 2n3 points higher than yes
terday, while New York showed 4 gain
of 3Mi points. The Southern SGT mar
kets showed an easier tone, with decline
Of i-i6c at Savannah and few other
points.
The weekly government report In re-
gard to weather and crop conditions was
very bulllsh. but had little effect upon
the market one way or tha other Traders
seem to be watching the large movement
and comparatively small demnnd, and are
ignoring all else. This will naturally have
depressing effect for time. and may
cause even a lower range of values than
is now prevailing Outside Spectators
scem afraid to touch cotton around 6
cents, though there were many eager
buyers when prices were 5opgo points
higher than at present.
Owing to the quarantine restrictions the
movement towards Houston is likely TO be
curtalled for few days, though the de-
crease In receipts viii hardly be sufficient
10 cause any uncasfness in the minds OF
SPECTATORS Port receipts are now aver
ag ns slightly larger than at this time
last year. and arc nearly 50 per cent moro
than in 1891. In fact, the movement re.
Gently has been the largest on record for
this time OF the year
AT today's session New York futures
opened firm, with piaces 26fS points higher.
December sold at 62D soon after the OPEN
ing, advanced 10 6.37 In the first half hour
but gradually fsli back to G92, and closed
at G32n6.3S, against G.2SaG.2g yesterday.
In New Orleans the market opened at n
decline. the first sale OF December being
at 6.97. Tho highest point touched was
col. and the closing was GOlaGO2, against
5,99NGc yesterday.

white fabric, such as foulard, the shep-
herds plaids, ETC., some bright color is
also employed, such as cerise bright
green or vivid violet, or mauve. Even
with colored fabrics another note of color
may be introduced, sometimes being
used for entire collar and belt, at others
used in pipings, or appearing in the out
line of an over-vest.
Our model is purple and white fou-
lard with ruffles of white Liberty silk,
bound with black velvet. The waist is
in blouse shape, with yoke of lace
which extends over the sleeves in ripple
effect. The front of the blouse is slashed
on both sides revealing an under-blouse
of the Liberty silk. The sashing are
bound with black velvet. Tabs of the
lace hang from the belt, which is of green
taffetas. The collar is of white Liberty
silk with frill of lace.
One of the most stylish shapes in hats
is shape suggesting both the Alpine and
the English travelling hat. There are
many notifications of this shape, some
having the brims only slightly rolled,
others being turned up quite close to the
crown at the back where they are cut out.
The one shown above is of purple straw
of pretty shade, matching the dress and
is trimmed with white feathers and black
curled aigrettes.

AN EVEN CHANCE.

An expert writer on the beet sugar in.
dustry says that at present prices there
is $12 product in ton of sugar beets
The cost of the beet is estimated at 81
ton, the cost of manufacture of beete
into sugar at 50 per ton, leaving net
profit of So per ton. If this calculation
approximates to accuracy there is good
deal of money to be made in the beet
sugar business. Nor is it impossible for
the sugar beet grower to share the profits
OF the conversion of beets into sugar.
There is no lack of men who have a few
hundred dollars each in the savings
banks, which under our corporation laws
can be converted into shares in beet
sugar company. The man who produces
the beets at "a per ton may take an interest
in the factory which converts beets int
sugar at profit of So per ton. The only
difficulty in the way is honest and in
telligent management. It would be re-
proach to our business men If this diff
Guilty cannot be overcome. II is folly for
men of comparatively small means to de-
cline such investments and cry out
against monopoly when more venture
some men have made millions with their
means. At the present time there is no

benefits to DO derived from its use. Nine
hundred men with $1,000 each have the
same advantage in the use of capital as
one man with 100000. There is witho1t
doubt small profit in the cultivation of
sugar beet5 at S4 per ton, 1t is certain
that there is a larger profit IN the mann,
faoture of sugar from beets at $8 per ton.
II the beet sugar cultivator can get an in
terest in company formed to build and
operate factory corresponding to the
amount Of beets he produces, he will
benefit from the profits,in both branches
of the Industry.

JAPAN VS.. HAWAII.

The controversy between the govern
ment of the Hawaiian islands and Japan
involves pretty nearly the same points of
inter national law that were involved in
the controversy between the United
States and China over the acts of the
Ameri ,an congress restricting Chinese
immigration. It is admitted in the alb
senee of treaties that one nation may ex-
clude the people of another nation from
its territory. The Chinese oontended that
the restriction acts violated existing
treaties with China and should conse-
quently be held imperative, while the
United States held that An act of congress
was the latest expression of the national
will, and as such must be accepted as the
national law when the treaty and the law
came ia conflict. The Hawaiian case is
modified somewhat by the contention of
the Hawaiian government that the treaty
and the law do not conflict.
The Japanese government contends
that the law under which Japanese have
been refused LANDING is a violation of
the treaty. The Japanese government
wants indemnity for the past and
promise not to offend in the same way
again. The Japanese minister has also
cause of complaint in the fact that the
reply of the Hawaiian government was
not received by him until after it had
been printed in Hawaiian newspaper.
He allows himself to say that he con-
sders this "bit of diplomatic etiquet
worthy of this government"
If Hawaiia were powerful nation,
Minister Shimamura would be requested
to furnish diplomatic Interpretation of
this remark. While sarcasm is not pro.
hibited in diplomatic correspondence,
it is required to be more yelled in meth
DDS of expression than that Minister
Shimamura is represented to have made
use of.

The Ration Range of Jnne3 8 publishes
in its editorial column that portion of a
letter contributed to the New MEXICAN
by our special correspondent Otto l.
Rice, which deals with the county seat re
moval question, in which the people of
Ration are deeply interested. The letter
referred to above is without doubt the
strongest argument as yet adduced for
the claims of Ration, and its reproduction
in the Range is ample evidence that it is
appreciated. In that spirit of fairness
and impartiality which characterizes all
of Mr.. Rice's work, the claims of Syringe,
in this contest were also lucidly set FORTH
