GOV. CARRIERS REPORT.

at present from the department about

Governors recommendations. Secretary

CAMPAIGN IS LIVELIER
The Presidential caupaign 10 now
opening up with some vigor, although
thus far the apathy on the part of vot-
ers in pivotal states is most marked.
That frightens both parties Democrats
made great Roadway last week in New
York State and Judge Parker has
started the organization of his party
to work in the most vigorous fashion.
The concession that New York State
with thirty-nine electoral votes is about
a toss up as between Parker and Roose-
welt and also the concession that Judge
D. Cady Herrick, the Democratic can
didate for Governor. stands the best
chance of being elected, has given
Democrats elsewhere immense enthus-
iasm. The Judgment of all conservative
observers still is that Roosevelt will
almost surely be elected, but Parker's
much smaller chance is steadily i'm
proving. If Democrats can carry New
York they must fight for about twenty
electoral votes elsewhere to win, as a
few small States are very likely to go
for Parker.
That is what promises to make the
struggle for Indiana, New Jersey and
Connecticut something terrific before
October is over. The Democrats have
money and are prepared to spend it in
States like Indiana and West Virginia
where the purchaseable vote is very
large. But in New Jersey the Demo-
cratic prospects, with election only FIVE
weeks away, are very poor In Con-
necticut the Democrats are more hope
full than in New Jersey and in Indiana
more hopeful than in Connecticut.
Judge Parker is now spending most
of his time in New York City, making
a strenuous effort to bring the Bryan
faction into line. He is gaining a great
reputation as a pacifiar and has had
such marked success thus far that still
greater successes are predicted for him
in bringing BryaniteS back
REPUBLICAN QUARRELS.
The whole trouble with the Repub-
licans is their local quarrels in many
pivotal states. added to which IS their
supreme confidence that their candidate
can not be beaten. Roosevelt himself
shares that view which is inspired by
Chairman Cortelyou. 1t is not ser, ous
ly disputed that the Democratic cam
paign has gained in the last week and
that the Republican campaign is now
losing ground. But the Republican
leaders are moving heaven and earth
to put spirit into their workers. If they
succeed they may forge ahead and APP
proach election day with more impetus
than they have now. There is ve-y
large silent vote, which refuses TO de-
clare itself. The poll takers in many
States make the same reports on that
point
FOREIGN SUGAR.
United States Consul General w. r.
Holloway, of Halifax, Nova Scotia, has
forwarded to the Department of Com
merce and Labor two reports on sugar
crops. One is on the sugar crop of Brit
ish Guiana and the other on the SUI
gar crop of Barbados. With reference
to British Guiana, Mr.. Holloway says
that according to the Maratime Mer-
chant, advices from Demerara state
that the advanced canes, that is, those
due for October, November and De-
cember reaping, are growing, but with
less vigor than is usual at this season.
The majority of these canes. Will De
short when reaping time arrives and
the yield of sugar will not be up to the
average. The supply of labor continues
short of requirements. At no period
during the past twelve months has SUI
fcient labor been available to under
take the full quantity of work offered
by the estates.
1.-THE sugar shipments for British
Guiana in 1908 and 1904 were as fol-
lows:
