(By the Associated Press

New York, July 26.-The cotton
market opened barely steady at a de-
cline of to 5 points in response to
lower Liverpool cables, continued ia
vorable crop advices, notably a
monthly report on conditions in Texas
and Indian Territory published by a
Southern paper, and the favorable
character of the weather map. AT
first there was some demand here
for August from a couple of large
floor brokers, and that position fol-
lowing the call was run llp to 1922,
but the demand from this course was
soon filed and the list, which during
the first two minutes had SHOWN
steadiness in sympathy with the near
positions and as a result OF covering
eased off to a net decline of about
to II points. Later the losses were
increased a couple of points or so,
when the weekly bureau report was
published acknowledging a very ia
Vorabie, showing aside from certain
sectional drawbacks, but after mid
day the market recovered few
points on covering. and in the late
trading showed generally steady
undertone with certain brokers be-
ieved to be trading for lower Wall
Street, interests buying on every soft
spot. The close was steady net / to
10 points lower, the largest declines
being on The near positions. Sales
were estimated at $4,000 bales.
Receipts at the ports today 1,225
bales against 1902 last week and
416 last year. Today's receipts at
New Orleans 965 bales. against 377
last year, and at Houston 81 bales,
against nothing last year.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans July 26.-The spot
cotton market continues quiet. The
supply was light, demand limited and
prices easier Sales $50 bales; deliv-
cred on contracts 500 prices 3-16c
lower.
Futures opened quiet with prices un-
changed to points lower. Offerings
were rather free and not as quickly
asorbed as they have been of late, and
the undertcne of the market was hard
ly as steady as it has been. Liverpool
was disappointing as it was about 8
points lower than expected at the
time of the opening of the local mar
ket. Some uneaSineSS was felt over
the weekly report and those trades
who were bul!ishly inclined increased
this uneasiness by predicting that it
would be much worse than was gem
orally expected This caused some lit
tie covering by shorts and steadied
prices up. The report was somewhat
better than was expected. Bulls made
much of the statement contained in it
that boil weevil had appeared in two
parishes of Louisiana, but this infor-
nation was too oil dto influence the
market and the ring was as dull af-
ter the reading of the report as it
was before. In the trading August
lost Is points at 1905 and recovered
S points at 1913; October lost s
points at 9.3S and recovered to 9.41.
The market closed quiet Net losses
were July % points, August 20 and the
new crop months sos.

BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1904-11-14

seek to raise up the ghost of
anarchy, in defiance of public opinion
and sane judgement, by publishing
such gross provocations as they have
been doing lately.
This paper which delights in ridicul.
ing the best thought and aspirations
OF race, attempts to make capital out
of noble sentiment which does honor
to its author, and use it as weapon
against the first growth of an era of
good will which heretofore had no
opportunity to show itself; and should
by abandoned and totally ignored by
the public as punishment for its trea-
cherouS course.
What is it that the continental daily
has found to make capital out of?
What Mufloz Rivera said on that
occasion was echoed by the whole
country, in agreementwith the opin-
ion of the noted writer, and in res
ponse to the natural feelings and spir-
it of the race enthusiastic and patrio-
tic at the hour of the nations peril.
We would not be surprised to hear the
same words of fervent loyalty used
toward the flag and people of the Uni
ted States. if the circumstances which
obtained at that time were to be re-
peated, that is 10 say, the people of
Porte Rico wouldhave the same feel
ing of love and veneration toward
their new home-country that they had
at that time for Spain, if through an
evil fate, the sovereignty of the Uni
ted States in Puerto Rico were threat
ened by some foreign power. To
many it has come as a great surprise
that it should be a continental paper
that should try to open a chasm be-
tween the Americans and Puerto Ri
cans.
To us it seems very natural thing
when we reflect who are the mys-
terious editors of the News. They
are the remains Of that fasco Of gov
ernment which came very near max
ing the name of the home-country
hateful to the ears of Puerto Ricans,
and are the only ones who can have
an interest in making the people of
the United States distrust and doubt
the Puerto Ricans; the are officials of
the "Organization", the enemies of
the country, who lose their small show
Of authority in degrading attempts to
make our tutelage perpetual.

Rooseveltism f. Addiclsism.

Philadelphia Record.
 When Mir. Roosevelt was a Civil Service Reformer. when he was Assis- tant Secretary of the Navy. and had no dream of playing a part in national politics, he regarded Addicksism as all honest men, all friends of clean poli tics regard it. and he warmly com mended the fight of the Regular Repub- licans against the shameless use of money. On more than one occasion he talked the situation over with MT. Henry B. Thompson-who was last year the chairman of the Regular State Committee and resisted to the utter most the compromise under which Alice was elected Senator-and characterized the work of the Regulars as "splen- did"
 While he was Governor of New York MT. Roosevelt continued to be in hearty sympathy with the Regulars. Soon after he became President. and before the sale of his soul to the party demon mad been Consummated, he sent for general James H. Wilson and assured hlm that he would do all in his power to back up the Regulars in their fight against corrupt man. Up to NoVem- per last the Regulars had every reason 10 believe that the President was with them On November MT. Thompson was invited to call on the President, ana he saw him with Postmaster cen eral PaNne. the politician par excel Iehce of the cabinet. At that inter- view the President said he could no longer support the Regulars, for they nad boiled 5000 votes to the 12,o0o that Aoo1cks had Eot Political Tl&hS -aa-

THEY ARE ryrRYwHRE.

Richmond, Va, is another city af- fiicted with a plague or visitation, des- cribed by The Times-Dispatch as ''an army of mosquitoes more numerous than the laps in Manchuria or the locusts in Egypt" Our contemporary adds that such a visitation is something new under the sun, and 1t is unable to account for it. It says that the natural home of the insects is in the swampy regions adjacent to the sea- coast, but that for the past eight or ten years they have been gradually deserting the swamps on the coast and moving up country.
 The Times Dispatch does not admit that mosquitoes propagate in or near Richmond, but 1t is possible that a thorough investigation would show breeding places there as we'll as in other places. If they have been visit ing the city for years. and are each year becoming more numerous. 1t would seem to be pretty good evidence that they have become naturalized to the vicinity and that they remain from one season to another and bring forth a new and constantly increasing brood each spring. It has this explanation for them:
 A Virginia philosopher, who has given a great deal of his time to the ty for the belief that the modern sleep ing car Is responsible for the latter day migratory habits of the pestiferous lit- tie mosquito. This philosopher con- tends that the mosquito was practical ly unknown In up-country parts of Vir- nished 1t ample facilities for a free ride from Norfolk. wilmington, Charles ton, Savannah and other seaport towns. It Is a we'll known fact that these Pullman sleepers leave these sea- port towns late in the afternoon and land passengers in Richmond Danville. Lynchburg and other hill towns the next morning.
