RECENT activity of the Filipino
junta Mt Hong Kong, prompted Sec
rotary Root to ask Secretary Hay If
this government would not be justi-
fed by international law and usage
in requesting Great Britain, which
owns Hong Kong, to compel the
iunta to move out of that city. The
result is that Secretary Hay has sub
mtted request to that effect to the
government Of Great Britain, and it's
actions in similar cases, one in Can
ada as recently as at the beginning
of the war win spain, makes it rea-
sonably certain that the request will
be complied with. Secretary Root
is very confident that the election
news willput speedy end TO trouble
in the Philippines aud as a precau-
ton he wishes things to be fixed so
the scheming Philippines who have
never done OF Intended to do any
fighting themselves cannot use Hong
Kong as a base for issuing documents
calculated t. stir up new mischief in
the Philippines.

holding off by foreign sp,nners during
the early part of the season. BeieV-
ing filnly in the predictions Of a crop of
1l.CW.0U0 bales MINIMUM, foreign buy
trs held out Of the market, permitting
American spinners to absorb the hon
share of the offerings Now that it has
become apparent that the crop Will be
1T least 1000 600 bales short Of early iex-
pectations, foreign spinners find them
selves with dangerously small stocks
both on hand and available; hence they
are compelled to compete actively III
American markets for the remnant of the
crop. and. consequently. are compelled
TO pay the producers prices for it.
As to the future of prices, much will
GapCnd upon the continuance of the pros
utrity in the manufactured goods trade
and the prospects for the next crop,
whether on. not the acreage will he in
treased. Even with the large purchases
OF cotton in American markets of late,
Europe is still short of her normal sup
yly of cotton; hence even materially
large acreage for 1900 could not be eX-
l,ected to immediately offset the strength
Of the actual statistical position of the
staple.
AS a result OF the steady and material
advance I'm the price of cotton TINS sea
son, the South has enjoyed pcr1od OF
proSperity. The advance has melted
large points the more particularly as the
crop was produced on most economical
lasis and practically without advances
The farmer has received something like
the worth of his product and mTllons on
dollars have been poured into the pockess
If Southern spectators.
1t is freely predicted that the higher
prices for cotton will cause the South
TO materially increase acreage. There
will no doubt be some increase M acre
aye: but it is to be hoped that the South
crn cotton producers are not SO pima
as TO imagine that n much larger crop
could sell at anything like the prices
which have been realized this year.
Southern farmers, let us believe, nave
lr1rned the advantages of divcrslfylng
crops and intensified farming. and they
are not likely to increase their cotton
acreage al the sacrifice of other useful
crops.
Here's an interesting cotton story that
comes from Charlotte. One day this
week a Mecklenburg county farmer sold

| of the crop Of 1915. which he had had
| stored in Il barn ever since. lie receiv-

| The total aggrcgating about $120.
This transaction furnishes basis for

| 20 bales rs soon as ginned in 1919 he
would have received II cents per pound

a>c il did not pay to hold cotton even
though no loss had been sustained N
