NEW RAILROAD IN RICE BELT.
Crowley and Jennings are Considering
Proposals to Secure it.

The Crowley Signal of last Monday
published the following important in
formation: Former Lieutenant Cover
nor r. S. Snyder was in Crowley Sat
urday and Sunday confering with
leading citizens with reference to a
new railroad project which if brought
to q successful issue would give this
city northern and eastern outlet in
competition with the Southern Pacific.
Governor Snyder stated that he re-
presents railroad corporation own
ing nine per cent of the railroad mile
age of the United States, but he is not
at liberty to name the company. He
states, however, that his principals
are about to construct trunk line
running from the city of Mexico to the
Mississippi river and that this line
will pass through DeQuincy, in Calca.
sieu parish, and thence due east
through Calcasieu parish and the
southern part of St. Landry to Opelou-
sas and thence to Baton Rouge. The
work on this trunk line, which it is be-
lieved here is being projected by the
Rock Island system, will begin in this
state inside of ninety days and will be
finished within eighteen months, ac-
cording to Gov. Snyder.
The object of Gov. Snyder's visit
here is to secure the corporation of the
citizens of this parish in running q
branch line from some point on the
main line to Crowley and Abbeville.
In November, 1902, a tax of five mills
in behalf of the Beardsley railroad, to
run in q northwesterly direction from
Crowley and to connect with the Texas
& Pacific, was authorized but the road
was not started, although the company
10 which the tax was granted has un-
til July /, 1906, to complete the road.
1t is thought here that an attempt may
be made to transfer this tax to the
company represented by Gov. Snyder.
The Jennings Times-Record says:
Ex-Lieut. Governor Snyder of Louisi-
ana was in Jennings Monday morning
with a proposition from a railroad
corporation supposed to be the Rock
Island system) which he says is about
to begin the construction of q trunk
line of railroad which will eventually
run from Mexico City to Mississippi
Baton Rouge. The road inside the
state OF Louisiana will be completed
within eighteen months and it is pro-
posed to extend a branch line to Jen-
nings for tax and right-of-way.

EXCITEMENT DUE
TO DULL SUPPORT
Active Covering by the Nearby
Shorts
OPENED AT AN ADVANCE
Reports Claimed Too Much Rain and
Poor Crop Outlook In Import
ant Sections of the
Belt.

New York. May S.-The cotton market
showed considerable excitement owing to
the strong bull support and active cover
ing. particularly of nearby shorts The
close was about 4 points down from
the top on May. but well up to the best
on other positions.
The market opened steady at an advance
of 1q4 points, and in spite of rather in
different early cables showed firmness a.
most from the start, owing to numerous
reports claiming too much rain and a
poor crop outlook in important sections
of the belt While local bears claimed that
the official weather reports were not I'M
satisfactory, they were plainly une
owing to the strong showing by New
Orleans and Wall street bull support, and
with hardly reaction the market worked
higher until in the early afternoon May
cotton was selling around 7.13, or a net
advance of "a points. while later months
were about is to 10 points net higher The
close was very steady at net gain or
15m20 points. Sales of futures were esti-
mated at $4,000 bales Private reports OF
firm spot markets in the south and large
exports, showing the big demand from
abroad, were factors in the advance. Ac-
cording to other reports, southern spot
markets were 1-16 to &c higher. The local
spot market was % points higher.
Receipts a the ports today are estimated
at 1858 bales, against 17,497 last week,
and 1887 last year. For the week (esti-
mated 10000, against 172,7S3 last week.
and 25,71S last year. Today's receipts at
New Orleans. 2022. against 1857 last year.

Ware 8. leland's Market Letter.

New York, May 8-The market was
bought in all directions today by bad
crop accounts from the south. The heavy
rains have so delayed planting and given
weeds such a start that every one was
discouraged and shorts covered freely on
the news The outside demand was not
liberal, but professionals were active on
the buying side and there was no opposi-
ton to the rise. The price of cotton Is so
low that 1t is rather serious business sell
ing short.
Operators are beginning to find this out
and the majority are now getting on the
buying side on all breaks.
The weather map was all that could be
desired and the outlook was much better
than a week ago, but crop accounts were
so bad that the present weather had lit
tie weight with buyers and prices ran up
more than they have In some time
The market seemed TO be rather differ
ent from what we have been having. IL
was not ready to go up before. There
were too many against 1t. Now traders
are willing to buy it, and as long as this
keeps up we will have an advancing mar
ket If we don't have better crop ac'
counts the market will advance sharply.

ovema, g. Co.'S Market Letter.

Heavy rains of Sunday in the western,
northern and central portions OF the belt,
the precipitation being the heaviest in
central Texas, in northern Louisiana.
northern Mississippi, in Arkansas and in
east Georgia Influenced the market to a
higher level today. A wet May. such as
we are having, is the worst thing that
could befall the new crop, which has an
unusual late start, planting operations
being backward in all sections of the
