The government agricultural stations
in Texas have been experimenting with
the growing Of tobacco. and they report
that ''the southeast Texas grown tobac-
co is without doubt going to prove equal
to any tobacco grown in Cuba or any
where else in quality Tobacco has
been grown in Texas for many years
and very good tobacco, but so permeated
with sand from the soil in which it is
grown as not to be marketable.

The Portland Board of Trade Journal
has called attention to a matter which
vitally concerns Maine, and indeed all
of New England. That is, the proper
tionaly higher railroad fares from the
middle west to points east than to the
west One can not only go from Chi
cago to ali points in the west and north
west, and the Pacific coast, for very low
fares, but the attractions offered in
these sections, and the facilities for
travel, are lavishly advertised in maga-
zine pages, artistic booklets, etc. The
railroads evidently find the low fares
profitable, by reason Of the greatly in
creased travel, or they would not be
continued Our Portland contemporary
thinks as we do, that there would be
more travel east, where the attractions
for tourists and summer sojourners are
certainly not inferior to those In the
west, if the railroads coming this way
would offer equal inducements.

Commissioner of Agriculture Gilman
takes a hopeful view of Maine crops
generally. He says that while the sweet
corn crop was seriously damaged by the
great drouth OF the past spring, there is
every reason to believe that other crops
Will not show great shrinkage from
the totals in preceding years. AS to
hay he thinks it safe to predict that
the crop this year, with the exception
of Waldo county, will reach at least IS
per cent. OF the average. In Waldo
county, SO well has the-.g grass come
along. there is every reason to believe
that the crop will be full 100 per cent.
1t is to be feared, however, that the
rains since Laying began may damage
portion OF the crop. A good outlook
is reported for the potato crop, and a
great yield of grain and straw.

Cotton Letter

The strength again started from Liver
pool Traders over there evidently take
considerable stock in the character of crop
accounts now coming from the South.
The foreign buying of spot cotton and flu
lures has been very liberal of late. 1t is
likely that domestic traders will go slow
on the selling side of the market when
they see that Europe is taking the cotton.
The feature of the news today was the
Journal of Commerce report on condition
of recent date. The decline is said to
amount to II POINTS and is therefore about
the most extensive deterioration on re-
cord. If this is SO, we are not likely to
see spinners hold off during October as
they have during September. 1t will be
too dangerous an experiment to hold off
in hopes of lower prices and let Europe
have all the cotton. This would mean
trouble in the event of moderate crop.
Should spinners come into the market and
buy more literally, the short interest
would become nervous. There is big
short interest and prices have declined
from over 10 IA to below 91ac. We know
some of the shrewdest brokers on the
floor who were short before the last re
port and who are now covered and do not
care to go short. The pit is in a state
of general perplexity, owing to the break

bLy:sg for support in todays market also
but the great banking interests were not
so conspicuous in the dealings. On TIC
other hand an over extended short inter

most decisive influence upon sentiment

(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 1.-The Jewish holiday
has intensified the quiet which has beeh
so much in evidence during the hst lew
weeks in the dry goods market. Buyers
lave not felt warranted IN placing very
many contracts ahead even though a
slightly easier condition is reported on
certin lines for future delivery. Where
spot goods are required sellers have for
tho most part been able to secure full
asking prices.

ticularly free buyers. European houses
and the South also bought literally and
the centres representing the New Or
leans bull crowd seemed to have orders
for January. There was not little
realizing on the advance, however, and
shortly after the opening this proved suf-
fcent to ease prices off slightly from
the top. The estimate Tor tomorrow

pointing. however. and while the weather
had a favorable average, the market did
not lose it's firlnness of undertone beng

aged as it became evident that the exports
for the day would reach a much larger
total than the receipts at the PORTS. Later
u the afternoon, however, there was a
renewal of liquidation and with some bear
pressure the market sold well down from
che top. The close was steady net to

in the stock market and the reaction in
business. Everyone admits that the out
look for a bumper crop is not what it was
This has driven many who were bears out
of the market They will not buy but
they regard the chances of an upturn such
that they cannot see their way clear to
sell. 1t is very confusing situation, and
different from last year when at 71ac
everyone was bulling cotton for ten cents
pound. Now there are other factors
besides the size of the crop, and again
prices are two cents pound higher. We
cannot but argue the greatest caution and
the position is not one to sell healthy, ow-
ing to the size of the short interest.
