Caldwell. Ward q Co.'S Market Letter.

NEW YORK, June 11.-During the past
week there has been great change in the
cotton market from the low price OF IL OS
for July options has rallied to II %. while
October and December have had an advance
of about so points due largely to the efforts
on the part of large accumulated short
interest to cover. The recent decline to "a c

bears. while all news is particularly ia
vorable to the new crop, which now prom
ises a bumper yield. Conservative traders
express the belief that such prices this
early in the season go far to discount
brightest prospects. particularly since the
trying months of July and August on the
cotton plant are yet TO be passed There
has been so much past current belief in a

a surprising advance which has been the
case today. Reports of overflow and exces-
sive rains in parts of the Mississippi wall
ley are not taken very seriously. as within
ten days reports of drouth and much need
ed moisture, IL is hardly time for much
damage to have occurred. The overflow
territory is very small comparatively. and
taking all things into consideration at pres
ent we believe with the short interest. there
will be general decline. We therefore IA

last rail of their new line from u
point about four miles south Of this

GERMAN JEWS IN RUSSIA.

1t is well known, and has long been a source Of
regret and dissatisfaction that the Russian govern
ment makes an exception to its general treaty with
the United States so as to discriminate against Amer
lean citizens of Jewish race and faith Our state
department therefore, has to remind all who apply
for passports that Russian laws exclude from Rus.
sian territory all people of the Jewish faith except
by special permission and that, despite years of
effort this government has not been able to secure
from Russia promise of uniform treatment Of
American travellers in Russia regardless Of faith or
nativity
Unpleasant as that state Of affairs is ii does not
appear to violate the ''most favored nation" prin.
ciple inasmuch as the same exception and discrimi
nations are practised by Russia against Jews from
other countries. Especially bitter complaints upon
the subject are being made just now in Germany.
Attention recently called in the reiehstag to tha
circumstance that, although the RusSo-German
treaty provides for uniform treatment Of German
travellers in Russia, burdensome exceptions are made
against the Jews From some important parts of the
empire they are absolutely excluded While others
can get passports good for year, the Jews pass
port is limited to three months. While all other
commercial travellers pay license fees of $3.50 each
jew must pay one of $4O0 for every three months he
spends in Russia The German government is now
trying hard to get these grievances abated in new
treaty, but with little prospect or hope of success
The problem is a complicated one, but it would
seem as though it must be solved. One great nation
cannot go on always making such determinations
against the citizens of another and friendly ma
ton The Russian argument is that all Jews must
be treated alike in Russia whether residents or visit
Ors. But Germany may as logically reply that all
Germans must be treated alike in Russia, whether
Jews or Gentes. The latter policy must in the end
prevail, and the it is adopted the better it
will be for all concerned

Yet the teacher has expenses for dress and living
that are not required of the hodcarrier and hoster
In another view of it the high wages paid in the
various productive calings work out in the cost of
living. The teachers incomes remain stationary
while the cost of living increases Their incomes are
fixed too, not by any scales of living at ALL They
do not expand the neceSsares of life rise in price
nor contract as they falls They now represent a

RUSSIAN AND JAPANESE LOANS.

The respective terms on which the new Rus
sian and Japanese shorttime loans to be tioated
give pretty accurate idea of the view that great
European and American financiers entertain of the
financial credit of the two nations. This view
is not calculated to fatter japanese pride.
In the first place, the japanese loan is to amount
to only $50OOOOO0, while the Russian loan viii
amount to $2O0,OOO,OOO; the next place, Japan is
compelled to mortgage her customs receipts, while
no condition of this sort attaches to the Russian
loan and, in the third place, the japanese loan is
to bear sterest at the rate of per cent while the
rate of interest on the Russian loan is to be only
per cent Yet, in spite of these seeming advantages
IN favor of the japanese bonds it is expected that the
latter will not command more than SO 12 while the
Russian bonds are expected to bring from 9S to
1912
These contracting prices are the more significant
because Russia next to France and Great Britain is
the greatest debtor nation ON the globe. Her ma
tional debt aggregates $3 400 100000, about TO-
fold more than the national debt of Japan Russias
national debt, per capita is in the neighborhood of
$25, while Japan's is about S.
Japan credit has been none too good for some
time According to recent transactions on the Euro
pean bourSes and exchanges, japanese fours' sold
for IS and japanese ves" for Is, these issues be.
ing unsecured by any pledge Of government receipts
On the contrary, Russian fours" likewise unse-
cured sold for 50, practically the same figure at
which the new "fves, " in the face of Russia dis
asrous military reverses in the far east are to be
hoated
Apparently, the fnanciers who are underwriting
these new japanese and Russian loans believe that
even should Japan emerge victor in the present
struggle she vii do so at the cost of shattered ma
tional credit They not only exact from her, on
comparatively a small oan stiff rate of interest
with shave" of $3.50 on each 800, but they COM
pei her to put in pawn her customs recepts-and all
this too despite the fact that the entire loan is to
mature within seven years.
Japan is unquesonably deriving some glory in /
her contest with Russia but in the end it is destined
to cost her dearly.
