slightest suggestion that acquired territory
shall be erected into States. On the contrary,
it provides for the government of such terri
tory as territory outside of Statehood by Con-
gress, without limitation Of time So far as
the Constitution goes territories may be held
outside of the Union, and governed by Con-
gress, for all time. That such might be cone
was unquestionably the understanding and in
tention of some of the foremost trainers of the
Constitution as specifically declared by Cow
erneur Morris and others, and the same princi-
pie widely held in Congress at the time
of the Louisiana Purchase and at that Of the
admission of Louisiana a State. The power
and right of the nation to acquire and hold
territory not questioned one-tenth part as

territories, outside of Statehood, is not foreign
to but in complete accord with both American
theory and practice Not that, but the con-
trary, the understanding that a territory has
a natural and inalenable right to Statehood
would mark a new era in our policy-an era

THE PATH OF POWER.

hilip P. Graves, in The Spectator
Soul and body. follow me;
Cold and free the mountains CLEAN.
Leave the vale of laughing ease
Where the trees o'erhang the stream.
Come, my body, JOY of sense
Shall not henCefOrth be thy spoil.
Leave, my soul, thy fellow-fires.
Who aspires alone must toll.
Festal riot lure of love,
Up above ye shall not find.
Pine trees toss their spears Of black
Ger our track beneath the wind.
Whispering their music dies
AS we rise and now l seek
Lonely wastes of silent snow
Spread below the windy peak
Mote-like in the vale one stands
Lifting hands to wave me back,
Signs that kindle, eyes that burn
Shall not turn me from my track
On the ridge the mOurded stones
Hide his bones who tried the height
Though the daylight wane and fail,
I must scale the peak tonight
Soul and body, can ye fear
When so near my battle ground?
Fear the darkness we would flee
Could ye see where l am bound

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
RULING IRREGULAR THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE SESSION.
July and August Show Marked Weakness, Indicating a Desire
 on Port of Longs to Sell Out v
 at Advantage.

NEW YORK July 2s.-The cotton market opened steady at decline of 1 point to an edvance of 6 points and during the entire session ruled irregular with the old crop months-July and August-showing marked weakness most of the time under what ap- pesred to be an effort on the part of scattering longs to sell out to good advantage while there was -an absence of pressing demapd. There were sales of July early at i3. 10: later it was offered down to i2. 50. with l2 cents bid. and was finally sold at I2.5 50, closing at I2.75 bid and 2.90 asked. August was no less err ratio. Opening at l2. I2, it declined to II .84 recovered to l2 cents, then declined to. n .96 and closed at 90 The later positions mean time ruled moderately active. The opening expected. but after the call the better weather and anticipatons that the bureau report due et midday would show materially improved condition. led to realizing and some bear pres sure. At last nights final. however, bull support developed, checking the decline and when the bureau report was read showing a less marked improvement than expected prices were bid still higher up. reaching a level about 7@l2 points. This was followed. how theory that the bureau did not include the re- cent rains and that the Government crop re- port due on Aug. 3rd, would show a condi- tion probably equal to last years. But after losing a portion of the advance the market was again rallied by covering and bull support, closing within few points of the best of the day on the crop options. The final tone was steady with the old crop net POO 30 points lower and the new net 6ato points higher. Sales estimated at l5o. 900 bales. It was stated during the day that about 1000 bales were on their way here by special train from Lowell. Mass, for delivery on July op- kions.

Tspecial to The Advertiser.l

NEW ORLEANS. July 2e.-Early Liverpool ndvices were better than looked for. but not @ithstandng this our market opened points bower on August and about unchanged on the other months. Reports of additional good rains in Texas subsequently, occasioned addi- tional decline of IS points September and 3 on the other positions. About this time the weekly weather report was issued and was in terpreted by many not being favorable hs expected Shorts covering and fresh buying was instrumental in establishing an improve lment of 20 points from the bottom on Septem- Der and llQl2 on the other options, making the closing 25 points lower on July and 2 | Dn August. whereas the crop months showed an Advance of 6d9 points. The summary of the weekly weather report as follows: While there has been an improvement in cotton its advancement is apparently less decided than in the previous week especially in the central and portions of the western districts where rain is generally needed. Good growth is re- ported from nearly all the district but the plant continues small and is from two to four weeks late Boil weevils in Texas are doing little damage. Much of the crop has received final cultivation" The rains of the rast two days have evidently not been included in the weekly weather report. therefore on the whole the present crop outlook Is favorable It is an parent. however. that operators are going into the late months and leaving the near alone
 which accounts for the frmness of those posi- tions that claimed that although the statistical situation is weakening from week to week and there is nominal demand for September owing to the spinners resortiug to short time. that

NEW ORLEANS July 2S-It would be in- ferred by the attitude of Liverpool in the con- tract department this morning that traders were inclined to await developments. but later that market was apparently induced to run backward in sympathy with the bearish tendency on this side. Liberal sales of spots were reported with prices lowered 10 points There was very little outside business doing here; trading being mostly for room account in the way of short selling encouraged by rains reported from Texas and showers predicted generally throughout the belt in addition to anticipations of favorable weekly bureau re- port According to the weekly crop report there has been some improvement during the week, but it Is less decided than for the pre- vious seven days. The plant generally Is small, but healthy and the crop from two to three weeks late. This induced some short covering and consequent improvement in prices was recorded However. the fact that the report mentioned the want of moisture and that the rain of last might and today were not within It's scope caused some reaction. Private ad- vices from Texas denote that apprehension Is Felt regarding damage by boil weevil should rains continue New York wires that August was depressed for the purpose of refiecting mnfavorably the spot market there While Dn the other hand feeling is gaining ground that Fall and Winter months around current prices with present crop outlook and scarcity pf old crop furnishes opportunities for invest hlent.

A. B. Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter. ~. lRx Privata Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, July 2e.-There was nothing in early news to have any special bearing on the market Rains were reported here and there. but of no great extent, while the temperatures were quite moderate. Mail advices were quite unanimous on the lateness of the crop and the necessity of a very open Fall to raise a fine crop. Some sections were having too much rain and some too little Probability of a very poor crop, little chance for a very fine one, and next to no chance for record-breaking crop. The expectation is that the bureau report for August will show some improvement over July, but not sufficient to weaken the bull po- stion when the lateness of the crop. small plant and poor fruitage Is taken into consider ation. Cables were good when we opened. Our first sales were at unchanged prices to points advance. but there was little business except in September in which the fluctuations as usual were again wide. High temperatures in Georgia stiffened the market later on. New Orleans was pressing September for sale here Cables were IG5 points lower. The bureau report, at noon. helped to steady the market which had been showing lower tendency. on the whole 1t was rather bulish and gave some concern to shorts.

tBy Private wire From C. W. Lee & col
 NEW YORK, July 2s.-The weekly report was about as expected and very similar to last week. That Is a general improvement in condition of crop Is reported with many combinations that could hardly call the show ing brilliant. Immediately following the docu- tuent prices advanced S9Io points It will be remembered that last weeks showing was very satisfactory. market started to go off c little, then support appeared and before the end of the week December had gained some 30 points. The market a week ago started from . basis of o.5O after the report and today from O basis of 9.6O. The report indicated that while the crop had improved and plants were generally in good condition still the betterment this week was hardly pronounced as was year ago. There is every inducement to buy cotton a decline and if it should happen that relief would not be forthcoming in the immediate future look for the most excited advance In new crop that we have had this season. It is not likely that this season will prove any exception. We would therefore advise purchases of new crops on all reces- sions believing that there Is an advance ahead of us.

 TRv Privafe Wire,

NEW YORK. July 25.-There was steady opening for the local market for cotton fu- lures today. the first prices being ] point lower to an advance of 6 points. Subsequently there display of semi -hrmness, the re- suit of scattering operations in the shape of covering short contracts. The cables were nrm in tone though. on the other hand, the weather map noted generally favorable conditions. and as the day wore on selling became evident ana the new crop months gradually settled down few points. September cotton was well sup ported. however. while October was also well bought and these operations served to stem the tide of bearish rule. The trade as the day wore on was only of moderate proportions the professional element doing the bulk of the business The selling now and then was quite extensive. but on the lower levels in the lat ter part of the day there was some support Tn the shape of tired shorts covering: The spot markets were steady with small demand and moderate oqerings. The movement of cotton continued small. For the week the port re- ceipts were estimated at only 5000 balos. against 3,726 last week and i9,24l last year. The indications were that the weekly statistics on the whole will compare very bullishly with those of last year.

 The future market opened quiet and steady and within a point or two of yesterdays close. Later however 1t became nervous and excited with prices fiuctuating with extreme rapdity. This was chiefly due to conflicting opinions as to the tone of the bureau report which turned out decidedly bullish. and on the strength of 1t prices were bid up to the high est level of the day.

The weakness in New York and Liv- erpool however, had 0 tendency to hold prices down and the market closed with net losses of 2S points on July and 2l on August, while the Winter months were 6GS points higher than a: the closing of yesterday.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, July 2s.-After considerable strength at the start, prices in the grain mar ket and September wheat closed hqss lower. September corn and oats were each %q6c lower, but provisions were strong, the Sep tember product closing from 10 to i5c higher.
 Trading in wheat was active at the begin ming of the session and opening prices were strong with September h@h higher at 7SA to 78%. There were a good many buying or ders to be file dat the opening and under this demand the market strong the first half hour and September sold at 76A, but the better prices brought out selling orders from commission house and there was also plenty of general liquidation which soon started prices on the down grade. Later the selling move ment was increased under the influence of an increase of 39, GOO bushels in the worlds vis- ible supply as shown by Bradstreet and also by the bearish construction put on the weekly Government crop report and in consequence the market ruled quite weak. After selling down to 77%. September rallied slightly and closed at 77Nd777s, a loss of Ad%c. Clearances equaled Ioi. 500 bushels. Primary receipts were 784, 400. against I,4lS,6oo year ago. Receipts, I4l cars, 50 contract; Minneapolis three points of 372. against sse last week and 7SS year ago.
 There large volume of trade in corn and although the opening pirces were strong the advance was not maintained owing to heavy realizing by prominent operators. Fri vate reports of rain in Kansas with predlc- tions of further precipitation for that state, together with the rather bearish tone or the weekly Government crop report were partly responsible for the selling movement Late in the day the selling became more pronounced and the close was at the bottom, September being &9h lower at 52h. after ranging be- tween 52N and 53%. Receipts. 263 cars. 20 contract.
 Although oats opened fairly firm in sym pathy with the strength in other grains, the heavy receipts, good grading and improevd crop reports caused weakness later and lower prices prevailed the remainder of the ses- sion After selling between 33% and 34. Sep tember closed %@1a lower at 339 Receipts. 45S cars.
 Good buying by shorts caused strength in provisions at the opening with general ad- vances in all products the strength in grains and the smaller hogs were early influences. Realizing sales caused a loss of part of the gain The close was firm with September pork up 1924 at SI3.621a; September lard 100 21a higher at S762hG7.6 65 and ribs l2h4 Dc up
