CANAL IN PANAMA
MAY YET BE BUILT

has directed attention to the pos
sibility of building the canal by the Nj
caragua route. The act of Congress d.
recting the President TO negotiate with
Colombia also directed that in case he
should not be able to obtain Cor the
United States control of the necessary
territory from Colombia within reason
able time. and upon reasonable terms,
then having first obtained for the United
States perpetual control by treaty of
the necessary territory from Costa Rica
and Nicaragua, upon terms which he
may consider reasonable for the con-
structiOn. maintenance, operation, and
protection of the canal connecting the
Caribbean Sea with the Pacific Ocean by
what is commonly known as the Mica
Tagua route, the President shall, through
waited and constructed a ship canal and
waterway from point on the Caribbean
Sea near Greytown by way of Lake
Nicaragua TO point near Brito on the
Pacific Ocean"
1t is pointed out that the language of
the act is mandatory. and the failure of
the Panama treaty is held to mean by
those who advocated the Nicaragua
route that it is the duty of the Presi-
dent to proceed at once to negotiate
with Costa Rica and Nicaragua as di-
rected by the terms of the act.
Alternative Not a Threat.
If adverse action has proceeded oil the
hHp
that the alternative for the Nicaragua
route was inserted as a threat, that the
United States will ultimately agree upon
the Panama route and accept such terms
as Colombia will present. a paipable
mistake has been made. The bill as
passed by the House provided for con-
structing the canal by the Nicaragua
route, and the Panama route was sub
sequently substituted in the Senate On
the recommendation Ct the Walker Com
mission. and after the Panama Canal
Company had offered it's concessions
and property rights ard interests on the
isthmus at very rye reduction from
the sum originally mar ded
The balance o, engineering advantage
in favor Of the Panama rou was sufi-
cient TO incline the judgment of the
Walker Commission to recommend It's
adoption. While their recommendation
seconded and supported by the speech
and maps OF Senator Hanna, led Con-
gress TO waive its belief in the superb
GRITTY Of a Nicaragua canal. and was
generally accepted by the people as con-
elusive, the change was manifestly one
of Difference to expert authority and not
the fruit of full conviction.

a sagging tendency that was increased
around midday by the publication of
the weekly weather report of the
Weather Bureau. which indicated that
the crop on the average showed further
improvement. Trading was quiet, how
ever, and after prices had reached a
level about even with last nights clos
ing on all except the August option,
which was net . points lower. having
sold down from 1900, the opening fig
ure, to ll.S5c. the market was rallied
by Dull support and covering. In the
last hour good demand developed for
the new crop months, led, it was claim
ed, by the former New England bull
leader, and shorts becoming alarmed,
the market turned firm and more active
than at any time previously during the
session.
The close was steady at practically
the best of the day on all except Au-
gust, which closed net unchanged at

The balance of the list showed net
gains of from S012 points. Sales esti-
mated at about $4,000 bales.

New York, Aug. 4.-Our market open
ed with sales of January at 9.7Sc CLOSED
$500, and after selling at 9.74@9. 75c,
ruled at 9.75c at p. m. Another quiet
day with good advices from Liverpool
to offset the improvement In the crop
report issued by the government to-
day. Support was given to October by
the bulls on the heavy rains in Texas.
Weather there is now clearing and
warmer, which will be favorable. Lit
tie disposition is shown to enter into
new engagements on either side, though
the local trade expect continued sup
port from the buIl pool. Spinners are
slow buyers so long as crop accounts
continue favorable and speculation will
only buy freely at these prices when
crop advices show danger of a disaster
overtaking the crop.
During the afternoon support came to
the October position, which gave
strength to the entire market. 1t is
generally believed that the market will
be advanced by the bull party, as there
can be no opposition with the strong
statistical position, except from the new
crop. The SPOT market was dull and
unchanged.
