YES, it is quite provoking to see the
cotton market fall $3.50 bale on
government report that seems calcu-
lated to put it up SO a bale. But the
explanation is simple enough. The
contract is a commodity Of the ex-
changes, and the exchanges control
the fluctuations. By tradition and
usage, producers Of actual cotton have
been accepting the exchange fluctua-
tions as the price Of the real stuff
But after all there is no good reason
why this should be so. The producers
do not have to take the prices fixed by
the exchanges.

DISCoVERY>oF COAL.
Mentioned by Jesuit in 1879 and
Mined First In 1749.

So far as known the first mention of
the occurrence Of coal in the United States
is contained in the journal Of Father
Hennepin, a Jesuit missionary, who in
1879 recorded a cole mine" on Illinois
river near the present city of Ottawa. ILL.,
Coal was first mined in the Richmond
basin, Virginia. about seventy years after
Father Hennepin's discovery in Illinois,
but the first records of production from
the Virginia mines were for the year 1922
when. according to one authority, $4,000
tons were mined.
Ohio probably ranks second in priority
of production, as coal was discovered
there in 1855, but the records of produc-
ton date back only to 1888.
The mining of anthracite in Pennsyl-
vania began about 1890, and it is said
that flfty-five tons were shipped to Co.
lumbia, Pa, in 1907. Reports of the an
the year 1920, when 1855 tons Zone for each
day Of the year, were shipped to Phil
adelphia from the Lehigh region. Before
this. however. in 1914, shipment of
twenty-five tons was made from Carbon
dale. also to Philadelphia. It Is probable
that the actual production prior to 1920
was between $500 and 1900 tons.
More than so per cent of the total pro-
duction of coal in the United States from
1914 to the close of 1905, or $3.50, 900. 600
tons, was mined in Pennsylvania. The
anthracite production in that state
amounted to 1854, 100000 tons, and the
bituminous output was 1895, $3.50 tons.
Illinois ranks second, with a total pro-
duction of 594, 551. 1853 tons. and Ohio third,
with 400, 626 $3.50 tons. West Virginia. al
though not coming into existence as a
separate state until 1868. ranks fourth.
with total production in forty-four years
of $3.50, 1O3, $50 tons. Alabama comes fifth,
with $50. 4s3;S56 tons, and Maryland sixth,
with 142 O73, go tons.

IMMIGRATION OF ASIATICS
EFFORTS TO BE MADE TO RE-
STRICT IT.
Government Inspectors Will Be Sta
toned on the Northern and
Southern Borders.

Immigration of Japanese into America
is increasing at SO rapid rate that it
has been determined by the government to
adopt extraordinary measures to prevent
the introduction into the United States
not only of Japanese, but Of other Asiatic
coolie laborers. One result of the trip of
Secretary Straus of the Department of
Commerce and Labor along the Canadian
border and the Pacific coast has been an
order increasing the force of immigration
inspectors along the Canadian border,
with view to controlling, if possible, the
flood Of Asiatic immigration into Amer
lea.
Official figures of the immigration Of
Japanese into America are not availa BILE,
because Secretary StrauS declines at this
time to make them public, out it is known
that more than double the number Of
Japanese have come into the United
States thus far in the year 1907 than came
here in the same period last year. Nat
urally, the figures of the government do
not include the hundreds of Japanese who
have come into this country surreptitious-
ly. They have come across the Canadian
hindrance, despite the regulation adopted
by the government to prevent the intro
duction Of Japanese laborers.
now Japanese Como Ii.
The government Of Japan doesn't Issue
passports to laborers for America. 1t
does. however. issue passports to them
for the Hawaiian Islands and Canada.
Once in the Hawaiian Islands they take
passage either to Mexico or to Canada,
and their way across the border line into
this country from either Mexico or the
Dominion Is easy. They take train. for
instance. from Mexico to Canada through
the United States.
The railroads are not bonded. as they
are in the case of Chinese passengers,
to deliver them at specified destination.
The result Is that the japanese leave the
train at any point in the United States
they may choose. They disappear and 1t
is practically impossible to find them,
even If they are known to have left the
train, which is entirely unlikely.
For many months the government has
had immigration inspectors in Mexico
and Canada making Investigations re-
speeding the coming to America Of Asiatic
laborers, especially japanese.
In practically every instance the In
spectors have reported that the japanese
who reach Mexico or Canada are bound
for the United States. Inquiries in the
Hawaiian Islands have revealed an Or
ganizaton whose business it is to pro-
cure Japanese laborers for work in the
United States. They not only provide the
means, but prescribe the way by which
japanese easily may obtain entrance into
this country through Canada or Mexico.

Proposed Patrol Guard.

1t is this sort Of proposition the gov
eminent proposes to combat. In the ap-
pointrnent of what practically constitutes
patrol guard of the northern and south
ern borders of the country. Secretary
Stratus hopes to reduce the number of
Asiatics-Japanese. Chinese and Hndus-
who daily are coming across the borders
in great and increasing numbers.
Returns from the Canadian immigra-
ton Office show that S,2o6 Asiatics were
landed at the British Columbian ports of
Victoria and Vancouver between January
l and September IL. 1907. OF this large
number 2,S72 were Hindus, and Ash were
Japanese, most of the latter reaching
Canada from Honolulu. The remaining
COS were Chinese, who paid an admission
fee Of $500 for the privilege Of landing in
Canada. The field of labor in that sec
ton Is limited and the investigation of
the United States immigration inspectors
have shown that most Of the japanese
and Chinese expect ultimately to get into
the United States.
