Murphy 6 Go. Cotton Letter.

New York, May 17.-The cotton market this morning opened unchanged. There was some speculation at first on mod crate scale because of the close of Liver pool until Tuesday next, but later on the market was active on free selling of old crop months which broke sharply, New Orleans selling here on large scale Sem t1ment in cotton is pretty well mixed. The weather has been so fine that the bears are Jumping to the conclusion that a biz crop is assured. Others contend that the danger point will not be passed before the frost season has set in. Surveying the situation from all standpoints there is nothing specially inviting for aggressive operations for awhile Manipulation of summer months may lead to a squeeze of some importance, especially if we should have less Favorable government report Tor June and July, and again magnificent summer crop prospects may be dispelled by the poorest kind of weather later on The spinners situation seems to be mak ing impression and the fact has been overlooked that their recent heavy talk ings do not indicate rapid consunIution. but may, as believed by many indicate wise provision for future contingenc,es Port receipts today only 5000, against 500o last year.
 The Chronicle weekly weather renort was simply confirmatory of what had been received early in the week and fell flat. Trade reports revealed something of a standoff as regards bearings on cot- ton. Montgomery, Augusta, Charleston Savannah, New Orleans and Oklabonoa reported light rains.

markets which has to be delivered on contract The position has been artificial In the extreme and as soon as people begin to sell, away goes the level But things are getting in better shape grad ually, but surely. If the good weather will only keep up a few days longer and bring out more long cotton August will break to a point where one can begin to buy a little cotton without passing a sleepless night This has not been true since July sold at these prices many weeks ago. There is no scarcity of cot ton. Spinners hold 235,o GOO bales more than last year and the visible is only 100000 less but prices were cents higher not long since. On a break Monday we would not only cover short cotton but below S1a for August there is likely to be money in buying for a turn.

Twelfth-We favor graduated tax

for state printing by the establish

Thirteenth-We regard the contin-
uous and persistent effort of the
American Book company, through the
connivance and SubServiency of
certain officials and of the agents
and employees of that school book
trust, to destroy our text book law, as
the most dangerous and corrupting
influence pervading this state, as it
attempts to destroy the usefulness of
our excellent school system; and we
demand of the next legislature rigid
examination of its methods and ex-
posture of it's acts and of the officials
it has corrupted and is using to &C
cOmpliSh its purposes.
Fourteenth-Realizing that all po-
litical reform is initiated by the indie
pendent voter and that all loOting of

ling are carried on by the partisan,
we denounce W. J. Bailey, the repub-
Iican nominee for governor, for his Oft
repeated statement that s'the indie

Fifteenth-We congratulate the
people of the state upon the rec
ord of Mayor W. II. Craddock, of
Kansas City, Kans., in his effort to
secure an equitable basis of taxation
for the public corporations of his city.
Sixteenth-The course of Senator

our power to secure his reelection to
the position he now adornS.

Alcohol for Power and Light.

One of the most interesting and
suggestive reports that the Herald
has noticed in long time is from q.
S. Consul General Frank Fl. Mason,
in Berlin, Germany. The report deals
with an exposition in that city of
meters of all sizes, from heavy trac-
ton farm engines to one-horSe power
affairs, adapted to the use of gas as a
motive power. The gas, however, is
from crude alcohol instead of gasoline
or other product of petroleum or coal.
The most interesting features of the
exhibit were simple devices for MAX
ing the alcohol on the farm, from pc
tatoes, corn (sound or unSound), So.
ghum cane, the molaSSeS refuse from
beet sugar making, unstable fruit,
etc. This alcohol cannot be used for
medicinal or beverage purposes, with
out refining, and its cost on the mar
ket in Germany is only 134 cents a
more economically than steam or
other forms of motive energy, in eng
ines up to 20-horSe power. But in ad-
dition to power this homemade alco-
hol furnishes the very best and cheap
est light, in lamps adapted to its use,
and is also cheap fuel. 1t is needless
TO say that there is no government tax
on this kind of alcohol in Germany,
though there is heavy tax on the
refined sort or that adapted to use in
the arts, for beverages, etc. This is
not an experimental thing, though
new, as over 100000 gallons of this
cheap alcohol was made and consumed
in Germany the past year. Doubtless
this material will work we'll, or can be
made to very easily, in the gasoline
engines of this country, and it may
not be long before our farmers will be
making their own power, light and
heat on the farm, and from easily
grown and cheap farm products.
