The Liverpool market closed at a decline of l point when rise of about points was looked for. and spots in the English mar kets were quoted easier at a decline Of 2 points, middling 427; sales 12.O00 bales. The easier tendency of values of the for eign market was attributed to London bulls selling out to importers selling against actual cotton, shorts in spots hav- ing about covered up. Local leaders on the long side, however, took it upon themselves to steer the market against the natural course which developments of the day warranted.

smoIIen 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

The cotton market was a shade lower at the opening this morning, due to unfavorable Liverpool cables. The mar lset there, while due to come a shade higher, was two points lower for fu- lures Spots were two points lower at 427. with sales of 10000 bales.
 March opened in New York nine points lower at ' .75, but there was heavy buy ing around this price and March quickly rallied to 7.g1. Around this high point there was some short selling on the heavy estimates for tomorrow and March eased off to 7.61. The estimated receipts at Galveston for tomorrow was; $500 bales against 36OO; New Orleans 5000 against 2600 and Houston estimated their re- ceipts at 10000 bales. Taking the bad weather conditions into consideration. these receipts were considered extremely heavy and gave the bulls somewhat of a surprise. But we believe this movement is only temporary and that lighter re- ceipts will be shown before the end of the week The farmers continue to stand firm and we look for them to continue to do so for some time to come We believe cotton is good to purchase on this weak spot.
 The wheat market was practically un- changed. May selling at 1.19 to l19h at the opening, eased off to 1.1Sh, after which there was a rally above 1,19. Corn and oats were also a shade lower. The provision market showed some little weakness.
 The visible supply showed a wheat decrease of AGO 900 bushels. Corn decrease 1,65O,O0O and oats decrease 26S00O bushels.

Success With Grapes.

A. Aufrance, Salem, Oregon-Grape-
growing for the market and for wine
making is an established industry at
Salem, the Concord and common varie-
ties that ripen in the middle and north
ern states doing well, and being pro-
duced with little attention for family
use and the local markets. For ship
ment the Concord, Delaware, Niagara
and Sweetwater are grown generally
on a western or southern slope. ] have
grown grapes with splendid success for
IA years. One.year-old plants bear the
third wear. Have lost crops but three
times in IL years from frosts. The
Concord and White Chaslet bring from
3 to cents per pound. Concord will
average 20 to 80 pounds to the plant,
and harvest 6 to 10 tons Of marketable
grapes to the acre. The Red and Black
Burgundy wine grapes, and Red and
White Chaslet produce 600 to 500 gal
Ions of wine to the acre which sells
at 40 to 80 cents per gallon.

f. Hofer, Salem, Orcgon-Strawber-
ry growing is well established in
Marion county, several hundred acres
being devoted to the industry about Sa-
lem. Plants cast s1.5O to 90 per thou
sand. A 5-acre field ~ miles east of
Salem in 1904 produced 800 crates,
which brought an average return Of
sf25 per crate. aThe net return per
crate was IS cents, making a total Of
$3.50, or $156 per acre to the grower.
On these five acres 100 crates were not
picked, because pickers could not be
secured. AS high as 5000 to $500 per
acre has been made on Strawberries at
Salem, but s75 to'S125 per acre is more

duce three tons of alfalfa to the acre,
leaving splendid pasture for stock.

Then he should report to his lodge
the number of bales ginned this year
up to date, and the number which he
is likely to gin throughout the al
ance of the season; also the lul'ber
of bales ginned to that date IN last
year. and the total number of bales
ginned last season. Each county
should come prepared to the general
assembly called, to furnish such facts
per county.
The next duty would be for each
ginner to find the area in his terri
tory actually planted and the conti
ton thereafter and report the same
to the secretary of his home order
on the 18th day of each month until
the 1st of September, and then, IN
addition to the condition of crop,
should report number of bales ginned
to date on the 1st and 18th of each
month until the end of that ginning
season. Such information should be
forwarded at once to the secretaries
of the parent order, who should find
what was the condition of crops and
number of bales ginned to date in the
whole South and return such infor-
nation adduced to each county lodge,
and that lodge to it's ovrn members.
The president, secretaries and
treasurers should be paid fair sal
ary for their labor, which expense
could be met by each ginner paying
So per year to the parent lodge and
so cents to county lodge.
Do / make it plain, and if so, is
it practical? IF the Government can
use us to inform the cotton specula-
tor and manufacturer as to the cot
ton crop of the South, why not post
ourselves and customers first? Some
ginners will say, perhaps: Where is
my pay for all this trouble and ex-
rense? By placing uniform and
just price on custom ginning, such as
shall give him a fair profit on what
he does, and by giving the seed cot
ton buyer an insight into the condi-
tions which he cannot otherwise OBJ
tain.
Now let the ginners take hold of
this and see what can be accom-
plished.
