cotton Letter.

c. W. Lee & Co.,. s Letter to H. D. Goth
 ran & Co.
 New York February 14.-The market developed the March feature today that option selling at S.75. Considering the Sc quoted not many weeks ago, this is quite an advance. The premium established Is so great that relation is bad for the rest of the market. We are not inclined to advise buying on such market, we would avoid trading in March. It does not look right. There may be an excited advance and then. in the latter part Of the month holders may not take the cot ton There are too many risks involved In dealing in March. As for the rest of the market we think profit taking on the part of wisdom around SAc. There is a great deal of cotton to come out on ths advance. and receipts In the South may bring about a less excited market on a good break there will be money in buy ing cotton For the present S1ac looks high enough.
 Would not be surprised to see a sharp reaction unless the buying Of March car ries that option over Sc, when other fu- lures will be influenced. It is too early to talk of a March corner. The holders will get too much actual cotton. If the Philadelphia interests holding the March intended to run a corner they would lie low until March not force prices up at this tirne The movement next week will probably be large as compared with a year ago and prices might easily react 15 or 20 points.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans February 14.-The demand for spot cotton today was very good, but the f1rmness of factors restricted the movement Sales, 5s5O bales, including 17O0 to arrive. Quotations unchanged
 Futures were quiet. Disappointing ca- bles caused the local market to open to points lower. Realizing sales were the feature of the early trading. causing prices to lose several points additional after the call. The Houston estimate all though large, had no effect on the mar ket and was offset by a moderate esti- mate for New Orleans. The manipula- tion of the March position in New York attracted considerable attention and fears that there might be a squeeze" in that month caused a firmer feeling in our market which recovered part of the pre- vious decline, closing steady with net losses of 6 points on July, 8 on August and on other positions.

GRANTS AMNESTY
TO ALL POLITICAL. PRISONEpc,,,
THE PHILIPPINES.
Proclamation Will Issue on IL,
Pardoning Those Filipinos NJ.
Guilty of Criminal Copdn
AguinaIdo Among Those pa,
doned BY the Decree.

Washington, June 28.-At the mee.
ing of the cabinet the terms of the on
nesty proclamation to the Philipninos
which it is contemplated to issue ~
the Fourth of July, were agreed unon
The war department for some time no
has had under consideration the draft -
the proclamation, and has found l.
necessary to make number of cbancos
in its text. In it's modified form !.
was agreed to by the cabinet, and Soc
rotary Root will cable it to Acting Gov
ernor Wright for his inspection. II !,
meets the ,latter's approval, notbina
will remain but for the president. if the
Philippine bill is a law on that dav 90
it is now expected it will be, to Issue
on Independence day a formal procla.
nation setting forth terms of amnestv
for all political offenders in the islands
including Aguinaldo and those held AZ
Gaum.
The proclamation is based on the
general objects of the Philippine govern.
ment bill, namely to restore peace in
the archipelago and substitute a civil
for military administration.
The proclamation will declare that
state of peace now exists in the Philin.
pines islands, save in the parts of the
archipelago where the Mindanao. or
Pagan, tribes are giving the United
States great amount of trouble. and
will declare in effect that, with the
transfer of government of the arch;no1.
ago from a military to civil status.
all those arrested and held for political
offenses shall be restored to liberty
granted full amnesty and allowed to,
participate in the civil government
that is to be established in the islands.
There is no intention, it is said, to
release prisoners convicted of other
than political offenses, the benefits of
the amnesty being limited to those in
custody as result of breaches of mill
tary law, leaving criminal offenders to
the action of the proper authorities
under the coming civil government.
The purpose is to demonstrate that mo-
tives OF humanity and generosity dictate
our course toward the Philippines.
When the islands are turned over to
the civil authorities they will not be
left without adequate military protec-
ton, as no more troops will be ordered
home for the present, and every precau-
ton will be taken for the military safe
guarding of the islands for the new civil
administration.

KING EDWARD
OUT OF DANGER
RULER OF GREAT BRITAIN Rap
IDLY RECOVERING.
In Spite of Pessimistic Predictions
the Royal Patient Is Progress
ing Nicely---NOw Probable That
Naval Review and Parade of the
Troops Will Occur.

London, June 30.-King Edward S
physicians announce that his condition
is entirely satisfactory The king is
feeling stronger, despite the discomfort
caused by his wound.
London, June 2S.-"It's the best
yet," was the popular comment with
which the following bulletin posted at
Buckingham palace was greeted:
"His maiesty's condition is in all re-
spects satisfactory. The king has had
a comfortable day, and has made sub
stantial imrovemsnt."
In view of the continued improve
ment of the king, it is probable that the
naval review and parade of colonial
and Indian troops will be held for the
benefit of the visitors.
London. June Pit is said after the
issue of this mornings bulletin Lord
Marcus Bereford asked Lord Lister how
the king was progressing, and that Lord
Lister replied: His majesty is practic-
ally out of danger"
London, June 26.-The Prince of
Wales, it is learned, will be appointed
regent if King Edward shows no signs of
recovery soon. 1t is believed that at the
end of few days the kings fate will be
made clear. A great mass of papers OF
an important nature await the signature
of his majesty land they must no longer
be allowed to accumulate. If the king
convalesces he will not be able to use
pen for some time, hence the necessity
of a regency. The fact that such a step
is being considered makes the gravity
of the present crisis more apparent than
any other incident connected with the
kings illness.

SERIOUS QUESTION.
The Ocean Transportation Problem
Bothering Canadians.

Ottawa, Ont, June Probably the
most serious question confronting Can
ada today, as affecting her trade and
commerce, is that of ocean transporta-
ton. The recent Morgan steamship
combine has brought this fact home to
Canadians with startling emphasis.
The current of public opinion has been
somewhat sluggish hitherto in respect
to this subject, but the Morgan menace
has quickened the popular pulse in
every quarter of Eastern Canada.
To meet the existing difficulties and
to checkmate the steamship merger, it
would seem necessary TO accept the ar
rangement of British Canadian steam
ship line on the basis outlined in recent
cable dispatches. 1t is not thought
probable that the Canadian government,
or that of England, will subsidize a
purely freight line of steamers.
Another scheme, however, is now be-
ing advanced TO cope with the situation.
II is proposed that Canada's interests
would best be protected by the creation
of national Canadian line of steamers
upon the basis of the German Lloyds,
where, in the contract with the govern
ment, conditions are stipulated that
they must develop the countrys trade
and industry, and at the same time as
sure government control and perma-
hence of service. This would mean the
training of Canadian seamen, and vast
possibilities in shipbuilding.
