COTTON.
The Morning News Office,


Spot cotton closed quiet 1sc below
last Fridays prices. Sales of bales
were reported from factors tables.
Throughout the week the tendency of
spots was downward on the sagging
disposition of futures, though there
was strong resistance to declines. Lo-
cal receipts for the week were $685.,
against 1903 last year. Pending more
settled conditions in the contract mar
kets exporters were backward about
entering the market. In the f. o. b.
market a fair demand prevailed during
the week To-day F. G. NJ. was
l5-16c, and G.. NJ. 9 13-16c.
The following were the official spot
quotations at the close of the market
at the Cotton Exchange to-day:

New York, May 9.-The trade of the
forenoon has been cratic and almost
wholly local. After the opening a sharp
demand advanced prices, but on the
improvement an attempt to sell found
no buyers and the decline was accel-
Grated by heavy New Orleans receipts.
Speculation holds aloof and the liqui-
dalton of the long interest finds few
new buyers.

THE JUNE RAINFALL IN INDIANA.

The report of the Indiana section of the
climate and crop service, prepared by
Colonel w. T. Blythe, section director.
and published at the Weather Bureau
office, presents some interesting and strik-
ing facts and illustrations bearing upon
the remarkable rainfall during the month
of June as reported by the fifty-nine sta
tons in this State. The general rainfall
was far above the normal, but the remark
able feature is the heavy fall in spots. The
heaviest fall was in a pear-shaped area
in the northern part of the State, the stem
taking in Kokomo, and the large oval en-
bracing Cass, Carroll, White, Pulaski. Jas
per, and parts of Newton, Benton and
Starke counties. The June rainfall in Del
phi was 1914 inches, and in Rensselaer, it
was 1890 inches. In the pe~ar-shaped area
which includes these places the precipi-
tation was over 10 inches. The curious
feature Of other heavy precipitations Is
that the areas were limited and were egg
shaped. In the midst of a region that had
a fall of s inches, a circle embracing half
Of Madison county and the eastern part
of Hamilton had a precipitation of 10 inch
es. Franklin. in Johnson county, was on
the edge of an oval-snaped area which was
drenched with a fall Of 10 inches, while a
piece of Brown and a considerable portion
of Bartholomew. including Columbus, had
a fall of less than 4 inches. G~reensburg
was in another oval-shaped area embrace
ing portions of Rush and Decatur counties
which had a fall of over 10 inches, the
deluge at Greensburg being 1855 inches.
The precipitation at Columbus, not very far
away, was 3.S5 inches. The precipitation
in most of the southern counties was from
4 to 6 inches. with the exception of Dubois,
Orange Crawford, Floyd, Harrison and
Perry. where the fall was from 6 to 8 inch
es. The counties named are surrounded
by twenty counties which had a much
lighter precipitation. Thus it appears that
the unprecedented rainfall of June was not
in the form of continuous transforms, but
of a succession of heavy showers which
drenched portions of the State while other
sections did not receive more than one
third as much moisture. Probably there
is no explanation for the variableness of
the rainfall in June in Indiana. Certainly
no one has enough m upon the
subject to suggest a method for equalizing
the rainfall so that it will be distributed
evenly over the country upon the just and
the unjust. The rainmaker is generally
discredited, even if he continues to try to
persuade the moisture to materialize. But
is 1t too much to expect that science may
yet discover the secrets of water supply in
the clouds and devise methods to escape
drought and deluge and the violent winds
which have visited so man localities this
season with obstruction of life and prop

The Washington Post, while speaking ia
vorably of the Fourth of July address of
General Miles, takes issue with him upon
his statement that 1000 Cuban soldiers so
aided our troops in the invasion of hat
island as to hold 10000 Spanish soldiers in
check. The Post says. and correctly, that
the Cubans rendered absolutely no service
TO General Skaters army. The highest
United States officers who were in the San
tiago campaign testified before the Dodge
committee that the Cubans refused either
to fight or to work. They ran AVA on the
first shot from the Spaniards, and when
they had an opportunity to prevent the re-
enforcement of the Spanish in Santiago
failed utterly TO improve it. Of these facts
there can be no doubt, and the Post is right
in protesting against any assumption to the
contrary. no matter who makes it. The
Boston Herald, in commenting upon the
Posts statement. concludes that the in
surgents were about ready TO quit when
this government went to their rescue. The
Herald further observes that the more we
inquire into the conditions of the Cuban re-
bellion the more we have to thank the wis
dom of those senators who prevented our
government from recognizing it," meaning
Cuban independence. Here the Herald is
wrong, since the proposition which the
Senate adopted by the votes of a few Re
publicans and nearly all the Democrats
and silverites did recognize the independ-
ence of Cuba. 1t was the Republican
House. led by Speaker Reed, that delivered
us out of the terrible blunder of recog-
MIXING the independence of Cuba. 1t was
in that crisis that the power of Mr.. Reed
was shown in preventing a stampede Of
enough Republicans to the support of the
Senate proposition to make, with the House
Democrats. a majority. AS it was, twenty
five or thirty Republicans broke away. but
the Republican majority was large enough
to enable the speaker and his following to
secure a majority. Every one of the Indi-
ana Republicans in the House stood with
the speaker.

time prejudices TO the extent of recon-
mending the cultivation of the Russian
thistle on Kansas farms, which ii says.
somewhat unreasonably. should not be
%disgraced or deprecated by its presence"
but it kindly points out the uses that can
be made of it when once it gets into a
farmers field in spite Of him. The board
alludes to the thistle as a weed. but taking
the definition of weed to be "a plant out
of place" it seems that it is a term no
longer properly belonging to the Russian
or Canadian importation. Although it does
SOW itself and come where it is not In
vited. the fact that it is greedily sought by
cattle ought. it would seem, to give it the
right to be called a plant.
But. with the history of the thistle in
mind, who shall henceforth put u~nbounded
faith IN agricultural announcements
against any species of vegetation?
