New or'eant Cotton Market.

New Orleans, April 18-Factors report a very liberal inquiry for spot cotton. During the past two weeks the views of factors have been well above the current posted quotations in the matter of values and they are still holding their stocks. as a rule, above the limit of buying orders. the sales were 3900 bales, including 1900 to arrive. Quotations raised 1-16c on all grades.
 Futures took on additional strength to- day the first figures being to 10 points over yesterdays close and continued up- ward until May showed a gain of 13 points, July 12 and August 10. Liverpool was better and New York very firm. There was a loss of few points from the extreme advance, but at the closing hour there was a strong undertone and the bulls evidently had the market we'll In hand The board showed net gains of Is points on April, on May, on June and July, 4 on August, while September and October were l to 2 points lower.

COTTON PURSUED 4 SMOOTH COURSE Opened Steady and Higher and
 Closed Same Way GERMAN HOUSE BIG BUYER Commission Houses Were Large Sell CTS of the Present Crop Months
 In General, Though More
 Particularly In May.
GERMAN HOUSE BIG BUYER

New York, April 1s.-The cotton market opened steady, with prices to ' points higher and with shorts once more thor oughly alarmed by the great strength of the legitimate position of cotton. The bears found very little staple offered on the call and were disturbed by what ap- peared to be southern and northern spin ners' demand for the near months. A prominent German house eagerly bought large blocks of July wherever offered, and throughout the day purchased freely this demand. causing relatively firmer ruling of that option than the rest of the list. Wall street appeared to be increasing Its short lines In August while spot cotton houses bought the May position. Commis- sion houses were large sellers of the pres ent crop months in general, though more particularly the May option investors, fearing possible tenders of notices to them within the next few days.
 The Liverpool cables were the chief influence at the start, showing an ad- vance of points in place of an expected decline of F point. Then came small port receipts, large shipments at interior towns as compared with small receipts, bullish weekly Liverpool starement, a surpris- ingly light amount of insight" for the week, reports of much stronger southern spot markets, fresh bulge in the New Orleans market to 9.45 for July, generally bullsh advices from cotton goods mar kets here and abroad, private cables stat ing that bullish sentiment was spreading in Europe, claims from the northern DOT tion of the seed and heavy decrease in the visible supply. The worlds visible decreased 107. 900 bales against a decrease in the same week last year of 45000 bales. bales, against 67,OO0 bales decrease last year. Active profit-taking near the close sent prices off tri.e from the top. The final tone was steady with prices 12 points higher to 1 point lower. Total sales were estimated at 100000 bales.

production of 1901 at 59,653 .7SS ounces, against 57.647,OO0 ounces in 1900.
 The pig-iron production is estimated at 15.S00,000 long tons, against 13.. 7S9,242 long tons in 1900, in which year the figures exceeded those of any preceding year. The coal pro duction is estimated 267 ,S50,000 long tons, against 240,965,917 long tons in 1900, the year of highest production heretofore.
 Of petroleum, the production is es- timated at 66,O00,000 barrels, or g. 772,OO0,O00 gallons, against 2,661,23 56S gallons in 1900, the year of largest production heretofore.
 Of copper, the production is esti- mated at 595,OOO,000 pounds, or 265,625 long tons, about five thousand tons below the figures of 1900, copper thus being the only item in the entire list which shows for 1901 a smaller pro- duction than that of last year.
 That these Lgures clearly put the United States in the lead in the pro- duction of all these articles is shown by a comparison of figures of the United States for 1900 with those of other countries.

How We Do Grow.

A dispatch from Washington to the Los Angeles Times gives some val uable statistics relative to the growth of this country. It says:
 Estimates of mineral products in the United States which have just reached the Treasury Bureau of Sta tistics, indicate that they exceed, in nearly every particular, those of any preceding year Not only this, but they exceed in nearly every case those of every other country. In gold, sil- ver iron, steel, copper. coal and min eral oil. the products of the United States in 1901 exceed those of any other country, and in every instance, except possibly copper, surpass her own record in any preceding year. These estimates put the gold production of 1901 at sS0,21S,S00 against $79,171,00 in 1900, which was the highest record in gold production that the United States ever made. They put the silver

Satisfied With Investment.

"I have ridden over the lands, ana, while my examination was not car ried into scientific detail, yet l am satisfied that it is good country The climate is perfect for fruit cul- ture. excepting in some parts where 1t may be too hot in summer; the soil particularly on the other side of the Colorado River, in my opinion, is formed by the river. It is the delta land, the soil being of the same char acter to a depth of as much as twenty feet.
 "I am not a member of the Imperial Company, but have taken up 7OOO acres of land down there. Water has not yet been put upon this land, but as we know that water will run down hill, and there is no obstruction to irrigation works, and 1 believe the character of the soil to be as 1 have stated, formed by the wash of the river, a character of soil that is uni versally sought, l am satisfied with my investment"
 Scores of letters could be pub lished from men who are practical not eoretical-experts-m who are practical ranchers on alkali soils men who have examined and many of whom have cultivated tbe lmpe- rial soils, but in the preparation Of this article time has not been allowed for collecting such data.

Value of Alfalfa.

correspondent of the Great Falls Tribune thus speaks of the value of the alfalfa crop in a locality where only three crops are cut in a year. What would be the value in country when six or eight crops are cut annually? The correspondent says:
 The alfalfa or lucern is one of the most valuable forage plants ever intro duced in the United States. It is one of the legume or clover family, and where it does well yields almost increditable crops of the most nutri- tious hay; this has a particular value for fattening cattle or sheep or young growing animals, producing flesh equal to grain and at much less cost.
 Mr. I. D. O'Donnell, living at Bill lings, Montana, told the writer recent ly that he now has GAO acres of alfalfa and that for series of years it has averaged five tons cured hay per acre per year He has been using this hay to fatten sheep; that this winter 190D he is feeding 24,000 sheep on the alf alfa produced upon his GAO acres of land; that last year he fed nearly as many; that he feeds these sheep all they will eat for four months; that during this period last year he pro duced gains equal to the Iowa corn ed sheep, and that it is the most profitable crop that can be produced where it will grow. When asked what an acre of alfalfa land was worth, he replied, "$100." When asked what was the greatest difficulty encoun- tered in it's production he answered.: "A place to store it during the grow ing season until wanted for winter feeding"
 The sheep while being fed on alfalfa are crowded as much as possible; they are not permitted to run upon the range.
 The growing of alfalfa is now an assured success and the result cer- tain. In some instances the net returns have been $32 an acre after deducting cost of production. It is cut three times in the season, yield ing five tons cured hay. The writer first tried it in 1895, planting only two acres. At first the result was discouraging, but repeated attempts resulted in success. During the past season the first planting was a fine sight to behold when just ready to cut. All kinds of stock are very fond of it. Alfalfa will not thrive in any location where there is excessive rains or moisture in the land.

general manager of the Imperial Land Company, said of MT. Whitney's report:
 "There is some foundation in fact for the statements made by the gov ernment expert as to the presence of alkali. As a rule, desert lands everywhere have more or less of the constituent elements of alkali in their structure, and this fact accounts for their great fertility as compared with lands in the eastern OF middle DOT ton of our continent
 Soil Samples Showed Fertility.
 "A large number of samples, accord ing to approved methods, have been idle of sodium, carbonates, sulphates and phosphates in varying propor- tions, and in some instances beyond the tolerance of most desirable cul- lures. At the same time, majority of the samples indicated soil of sur passing fertility, adapted to the growth of wheat and farm products, both desirable and profitable. This, together with practical tests on this and other similar lands, leads me to conclude that at least 75 per cent. of the land under consideration is desirable and will in a few years be much sought after
 ''I will undertake to carry as many steers on 160 acres of land in the Imperial country as our expert can carry on 4S0 acres of land in Illinois, and he may make his selection with

any on the tract.
 Here is an error of judgment for which there is no excuse. The ex- pert ought to know whether barley would grow in that soil or not and If he does not know it he ought to re- sign his position and go to saving wood.
 MT. Holt Is a reliable man. He is president of the First National Bank of Imperial and no man can call in question his statements. The expert did not say that a few years hence the barley would not grow there, but that the barley would not grow there this year, and probably the seed would would not germinate. It did germin- ate and the barley is growing.
 The experts admit that about one half of the land in the Delta is all right and one-half is either too rough for irrigation or contains too much alkall.
 If their statements were true the case would not be a serious one. The Imperial company has already elifh- mated 600,000 acres as being undesir- able, thus leaving about 500,00J acres of good land on the California side of the line and this would still be the largest irrigation system in the United States. The man who got piece of poor land and had purchased water stock for it could simply secure another piece of land and transfer his water stock to that land and there would be but little loss.
 There are scores of intelligent. ex- perienced ranchers now operating in the Imperial Settlements who have spent more years on alkali soils than the experts have spent on earth, who are highly pleased with the soil of this country and who make light of the expert criticisms which they know are not founded on fact as is proven in one case by the statements made to Mir. w. F. Holt, and after wards proven to be incorrect by the soil itself declining to kill the barley seed sown therein.
 Prof. E. w. Hilgard of the Agricul- tural Department of the State Uni versity at Berkeley has had experts examining the Imperial soils. His re- port will soon be out It looks as though the California experts do not agree with the Washington experts In all things. A letter from Prof. Hill gard says: Probably there are few soils in the State which are intrinsi- cally more fertile when freed from their salts. Analysis. combined with experience, shows this beyond any possible question, Mir, Thomas Means to the contrary notwithstand- ing" Mir. Means was one of the gov ernment experts from Washington.
 Prof. Hilgard shows disposition to get at the facts, for, before publish ing his bulletin, he has sent out for all the information he could get re- garding the facts of the case from a practical point of view. He wants to know what has been done in the way of growing crops and the facilities for natural drainage

his eyes wide open and l will select my land blindfolded. The San Joa- quin Valley of this State, and Salt River Valley of Arizona and the Pecos Valley of New Mexico would never have been settled and cultivated if expert opinions of this class had first been sought.
 What Should Be Cultivated.
 As to what may be protitably grown in that country, l have long advocated planting the first few years only barley, wheat, corn, sorghum, Kafir corn and finally alfalfa, plant ing of fruits to be delayed and finally engaged in on small scale, until it should be determined what varieties might be safe and profitable"
 Walter L. Vail who owns a large area of land near Imperial that will be covered by the Imperial Company's s ditches. does not think that the report of Professor Whitney on the desert lands will have any serious effect but is inclined to view that such an alarm as that sent out from Washing ton is unwarranted.
 II think the Imperial lands all right" said Mir. Vail last night, "else would not have invested $S0,000 or $40,000 in them. It may be true that one-half of the land in the ditch dis trict cannot be utilized. but even al that, there are hundreds of thousands of acres of good land.
