our market opened 2 to 4 points higher

The weekly weather report was con-
strued as being bullish and occasioned an
additional Improvement of to points

in portions of Texas, Louisiana and
Georgia. The crop is generally well
cultivated except over the northern por-
ton of the western districts
Weather conditions are now the prin-
cipal factor in determining values.
Speculation is entering the new crop
months and the activity is confined to
these positions. While it is admitted
that the absence of rain has not yet
caused serious damage, the apprehension
that the needed moisture may be defer
red causes nervousness and the strength
now existing in the market. Should
general rain materialize soon a sharp
break may be quickly established, but
the absence of rain for few DAYS will
be conducive to a further advance in
the, new crop months.

sceptical questions about how the deere -
Of an arbitration tribunal were to be on
forced. There was a fine Oriental smile
Illuminating his features as he put these
quest ions, too.
Il said that the Powers which would de-
clare Themselves part les TO such an arbitra-
ton agreement would not dispute the awards
OF the arbitration tribunal, but that Celes-
lial smile only broadened My suggestion
Is, however. that the signatory Powers
should bind themselves TO stand behind the
awards or decrees Of The Hague tribunal,
and see that they are inforced in the same
way as the DEGREES Of any civil court are
enforced. That would make the tribunal
effective, for If IL were understood that the
Powers were prepared To enforce the trib-
obeyed and lived up TO In the same way
as are the judgments Of civil courts in any
nat ion"
Speaking of the feeling in England to-

1t was merely case Of the German DOGGY

The English papers, said he, cant
see further than their nose There il a
strong feeling in England among the middle
and lower classes against Germany, as
those people attribute the slackness in their
trade to German competition and the in
huX OF cheap German labor. They call
Russians, Austrilns, Poles. Bohemians
Hun2arians. Swiss and other nationalities
among them all Germans CHASING them
all together.
The feeling Of antagonism received
stimulus from the famous HI Il -er tele-
gram Of Emperor Williams. But the
British ought not TO feel resentment re-
garding that telegram. for il gave them the
