New York, May 25.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of one point to a decline of points,

couraged by generally favorable
weather accounts, rather disappoint-
ing cables, particularly as to the Eng
lish spot market which was quiet at
q decline of 2 points and in the alb
sence of bull support. Sentiment
around the ring seemed to have
bearish average but the market was
evidently very. nervous and each few
points down the covering of scalping
shorts would cause a slight reaction
giving ii a very irregular and unset
tied look. In a general way the ten
dency was downward, however, partic-
ularly when it was seen that the fore
cast called for rains in the eastern
belt where the dry weather has fur
nished almost the only recent cause
for apprehension and around midday
July was down to 1918 with October
selling at 1916, net declines of from
II to II points. AT this level, de-
mand seemed to improve somewhat
and with the room covering rather a
reactionary tendency set in which
gathered force rapidly a little later
on rumors that the New Orleans bulls
had completed arrangements for fl

the new crop rallied several points in
sympathy.
1t was seen, however, that the lead

opposing the advance and a little Ia
ter prices again sagged off in spite of
buying by brokers believed to repre-
sent the New Orleans bull crowd, until
at the close they were at practically
the lowest point Of the session with
the exception of July and August
which were 4 to 6 points up from the
bottom. The final tone was barely

The light ana the heat are the two
things that most impress one on first COM
ing 10 this land. The light is the more inn
pressive of the two; from sunrise TO sun
set IL Is omnipresent n CONSTANT; the
very shadows are luminous, dark though
they appear by contrast. i should say
that latitude seventeen was about 4o,0oovU
miles nearer the sun than latitude forty.
Yet IL Is a tender, soft, suffused light, not
a fierce and hard one. The atmosphere
is not so rarefied as that Of our own west;
one can read here by moonlight, but one
mo read fine print easily. The remote
distances of the landscape are melted IN
an aerial haze instead OF being deflned
with the relentless clearness OF a steel en-
craving. Nevertheless the light Of the
tropics Is superlative; Ii seems to belong
to a planet more recently evolved from the
and p~ervasive is Ii, one would almost say
II irradiates the mind as well as the body.
IL appears to possess a spiritual quality. /

ing, blistering tropic heats, but / find
nothing OF the sort. However great the
ultimate effect may be, the manner is al
ways gentle, sweet, subtle, soothing; Har-

savage a temperature as broadway In

spoken climate,
After walking a few miles along the
white, undulating roads, or painting up O.

South American Republics.

London Chronicle; For eighty years the
South American republics lave worked
out in strife, tyranny and anarchy the
fate imposed upon them by the premature
assumption OF rule by peoples unprepared
for such responsibility: and out Of the
weller of dishonesty and violence there
are now emerging at least two powerful
civilized nations which will lead the way
to peace and prosperity that even ven-
ezuela. the least reputable OF them all,
must finally follow.
Chit and the Argentine Republic, the
former with it's immense seaboard and va
ried climate, the latter with Its boundless
pampas from Terra del Fuego to the tor
rid zone, ave apparently one with revo-
buttons, and are advancing with great
strides. Bolivia, cuoped up IN the Andes
and deprived of her only port. holds with
in her rocky bounds wealth beyond the
dreams Of Opliir, yet inaccessible for want
Of roads; Colombia with its vast Cauca
valley. OF fertility ~unimaginabie, and It's
mineral resources fabulous In their ex-
tent: Brazil with it's thousands of miles
on ~unexpiored hinterland or forests and
waterways: Peru with its Inca mine sill
Observation-Disclosures may all be richer than
Argentina and Chill IN the wealth that
comes quickly. but they are for rhe fu-
ture rather than the present. and their
best hope Is to win stability and security,
as the two leading republics are now rap
fdly doing.

death. Evaporation is wonderfully rapid:
you come in from exercise drenched with
perspiration, and before you can make
ready for a rundown" your skin is al
ready dry. In the north a slight chill may
be followed by a slight cold, and tina
be the end of it; here your chill may turn
out the end of everything for you. More
over, the soil when dampened by rains
probably exhales a miasma productive of
what we call malarial fever; in Jamaica
It occasionally develops into an appalling
ly ugly and brief disease known as black
yomit.
On the other hand, If you are nationally
cautious, and let liquor of every kind
alone, you may walk or climb, or play ten
mis-, or ride horseback all through the hot
test parts Of the cloudless day, and feel
only the better for 1t at night; in fact, you
must take plenty OF outdoor exercise in
order to be at your best. The way to get
Ill is TO avoid exertion and perspiration,
sit at ease in the shade absorbing
cooling drinks. Such people sometimes
last two years. Those who pursue the
alternative regime are not surprised to
n themselves alive and alert at 80 and
upward. OF course 1t is more difficult to
get Ill on the higher levels than on the
lower ones; but taking the. island by long
and large, 1t is n of the healthiest pla-
ces on the globe.
