PROFESSIONAL DAY .s
 t.T-a IN COTTON MARKET Neither Side Had Backing of the Speculative Element. SCALPERS WERE PROMINENT Unfavorable Cables from Both Depart ments of the English Market and Crop Reports Prompted Un-
 loading in Forenoon
SCAL PIERS WERE PROMINENT

New York, July 4.-This was a day of professionals at the Cotton Exchange un- til well into the afternoon. Neither side had the backing of the speculative public nor did either the bull or bear faction show the least disposition to take the initiative in a fresh movement. The forces at work around the opening were of bear charac- ter and depressed prices somewhat. But as the early afternoon government crop summary for the week was decidedly less favorable than looked for, the decline was soon superseded by sharp rally. Scalpers from start to finish were the chief parties in the market. Started steady in tone with prices down four to eight points un- der little general selling by room longs. Unfavorable cables from both departments of the English market and optimistic news from private sources regarding the crop were the incentives which prompted un- loading during the forenoon.
 However, bear speculation on this line was not factor. Later prices advanced on covering. At p. m. the telegraphic summary covering crop development dur ing the week came over and far from show ing a perfect condition stated that too much rain. rust and shedding were promi- nent in sections although the crop as whole had some other change for the bet ter. Trading late in the day was active, but somewhat checked of professional trading. New Orleans sold sparingly Eu- rope bought the near months. Wire busi- ness increased and the market finished al top prices. The close was firm with prices net to Il points higher.

The present population of Cuba, as
shown by the census just taken and
soon to be published, is about l 200,-
600. This number is 100000 less
than the total population shown by
the Spanish census of 1887. The loss
might be attributed to the process Of
determination under Weyler's rule,
but it would be unwise to jump at
the conclusion that the reconcentra-
tion and other tyrannical orders Of
Spanish captain generals were re-
sponsible for this loss in population
All calculations should take into con

Spanish census figures were even ap
proximately accurate.

Why Times Are Better.

Warner Miller says: "In all my
business career times were never bet
ter than they are now" We have
never had so complete and scientific
a system of protection of American
interests in operation as we have now.
That explains in part why times are
better now than ever before. For
the other part, we have never until
now seen the complete i fleets of the
protective tariff In the past we
have been struggling by means of the
protection of American indus tries, to
build up American enterpris ca, to
put them on their feet. Today, in
many instances, this has been ac-
complished, and the sole duty of the
protective tariff in regard to these
enterprises is to present to them
what they have already achieved and
to give them a chance to branch out,
now that, at last, they stand on a
firm basis. Times are better than
ever before, and they are likely to
remain so because protection is likely
to continue to be the policy of the
country.
