Temperatures makes the top crop assured
and the total crop figures will most GER
tainls reach the highest estimates. They
also claim that no great demand exists FOR
the staple and that shorts are taking on
more contracts as the market grows lower
which is exceptional under the circum
stances. The bull side presents the fact
thar the worlds visible supply OF coLt9n

by the bulls for their side Of the case the
nrst being the belief that Buston and
Neiil's estimates are away too large ana
the further fact that very little old cotton

TRADE WITH TRIPOLI.
This Country Making No Attempt to
Get It's Share

The United States is neglecting an oppor-
tunity for a share of the slowly develop
ing trade relations of Tripoli with the mod
ern world, according to Consul General
Skinner at Marseilles, a report from whom,
dated June %, was made public at the
State Department today. In that vast nom-
inal dependency of Turkey, he says, bound
ed by Tunis, the Sahara and the Lybian
deserts, our government does not even
maintain communication so slight as con-
sular agency in Tripoli. If American ex-
porters were prepared to transact business
there, as the exporters of other nations are,
says the consul general the word Amer
ica'' would become as familiar in Tripoli
as it is nearly everywhere else.
Tripoli has been in state of excitement
for some months, says Mr.. Skinner owing
to an effort to enforce CONSUMPTION tax
among the Arabs and the levying of a new
land and property tax. The enforcement of
the conscript regulations should have COM
menced on March IA. the beginning of the
Turkish fiscal year, but the attitude of the
Arabs has been so hostile with. respect to
that measure that the whole matter has
been left in allegiance

AMERICAN HORSES WANTED.
II Demand in French Army and on
French Farms.

In the French military service and on
French farms American horses are much
in demand. according to a repor, from Com
n.ercial Agent Griffin. at Limoges, dated
June 23. which was made public at the
State Department today.
For many years, says Mr.. Griffin, the soil
OF France has been cultivated almost entire
l. with the aid Of cows and oxen, but as a
sequence to the Introduction OF American
agricultural machinery has come a great
demand for the American horse. The i'm
p5rtation of horses from Argentine and
Russia has not been entirely successful,
says MIR. Griffin. the mortality EN- route, the
high freight rates and the great change of
climate in the case of the animals brought
from South America combining to make
the selling prices in France almost prohibi-
tive. On the other hand. colts have been
successfully imported from the United
Safes. and when shipped in their youth. II
is said. the animals are less liable to in
jury and less susceptible TO climatic
changes
Mr. Griffin says that care should be taken
- send only sound specimens Of hOrsefiesh
70 France. for upon the arrival Of con-
sIgnmeut of horses at a French port. they
are carefully examined by veterinarians, no

Death of the Baby Monkey.

The baby monkey born at the Zoo carly
last week is dead. II was found lifeless in
its mothers arms yesterday morning. and
the stricken parent was 10th to part with
It The skin OF the youngster. which is
the second one ever born at the Zoo Will
be stuffed and placed in the collection at
the National Museum. Scientific study of
the monkey tribe has led to the concur
sion that the reason why no progeny has
ever been raised from monkeys in cap
tivity in this country is that some element
in the food of the mother i lacking. This
element the mother supplies herself with

Europe. few baby monkeys born in cap
