Washington, June 3-(SpeciaL)-- Harvie Jordan, president of the Ma ticnal Cotton Growers Association. who Is here at the Raleigh. is hopez full over the cotton situation and out- look
 If present conditions continue" he said, we will have good prices through next fall and winter. The CO., operation among the farmers Is ex- banding and is strong enough to de- mand remunerative prices for cotton. The building of warehouses in which to store, insure and finance cotton Is going forward very rapidly and in a few years We hope to be able to have sufficient storasa capacity for a slow movement of the crop and to keer the cotton in first class condition"
 Commenting upon the labor situa- ton. MT. Jordan said:
 The scarcity of labor has prevented any material increase in the cotton acreage and for the same reason will necessarily prevent any very largely increased yield There. is only one sourca to draw lahor from ss we have practically nu Immigration. The price of cotton must necessarily be main tained at high level to enahle farm CTS to go into the market and conn pete with industrial enterprises for sufficient labor
 Crop Two Weeks Lnte. The crop at the present time Is about two weeks late as compared with normal plantlngs. l am satisfied that the visible supply of cotton left from the crop of 1905 on September 1 win be the smallest for many years. without any surplus. the mills will necessa riiy have to depend upon this crop almost entirely. The worlds ca- pacity of manufacturing cotton has been increased 100000 spindles in the past twelve months. I regard the outlook for good prices on reliable basis as most encouraging
 The date of adjournment of Congress is very much in the air. The most ex- perieneed prophets differ as widely as June 15 to August F. The Statehood bill may induce prolonged debate. so also tffe canal type. Senator Foraker claims to have majority of ten In the Senate opposed to the conference report just submitted.
 Speaker Cannon has grown more and more determined and high-handed in his mode of procedure and threatens, it Is understood, that there shall be no Statehood legislation whatever unless he has his way.
 Cannon's Domineersng Tactics.
 His domineering conduct quite over tops everything ever seen in an in- CumDcnt OI nIS olllCSs HIS EGptJ lO critics on the floor Is curt: Turn me out. The House can derose me any day 1t sees At to do so."
 Since the Senate Committee has re- ported in favor of sea-level canal. the President has become anxious that there should be no new canal legisla- tiontion and that he be left free to go ahead in the construction of a lock waterway. The alliance between him and the Speaker renders this the most likely outcome.
 Fx Secretary Herbert was the prin- cipal speaker at Arlington today when memorial exercises were held over the Confederate dead buried there. Colonel Herbert has had occasion recently in writing the history of his regiment dur ing the Civil War to review with great care the attitude of the South in the great contest and his audience this af- ternoon got the benefit of his wide spreading and deepest reflection on the issues involved.
