The Thread Trust.
The Department Of Justice is being
urged to institute proceedings against
the thread trust. The selling price
has been raised from five to six cents
per spool.
An Indiana merchant, among others,
has complained to the department that
his women customers will not under

not his.
At Washington merchants were no.
titled two weeks ago that prices
would be advanced. Up to that time
spool cotton had been selling for
five cents at retail, with an occasional
slx-for-a-quarter proposition on bar
gain days. The merchants were then
paying fifty-fve cents dozen for the
thread, with little discount for cash.
Hereafter they must pay sixty-two
cents.
The American Thread Company was

into the affairs Of the Hamburg
American Packet Company, which is
charged by Peter Wright & Sons,
general agents at Philadelphia of the
Cosmopolitan Shipping Company and
the Cosmopolitan lines, with pooling
and maintaining monopolies in res
traint Of trade. The inquiry is ex-
pected to be one Of the most stu
pendous ever undertaken and of
character different from any that
ever engaged the attention Of the
Commission.
The inquiry will have to deal with
an alleged combination between rail-
roads In the United States and the
German shipping concession, and
therefore interests every American
producer, manufacturer or shipper
aspiring to introduce his goods to
foreign consumers.

Treasury Conditions.


Financial conditions at the Treas
ury are beginning to receive the full
attention which is commonly given
them at the close Of fiscal year.
More than usual interest is, however,
felt because Of the operations which
will coincide. with the end Of the fiscal
period, and because Of the rapid
growth Of the surplus. Study Of oil

forming the basis for some positive
predictions both as to Treasury policy
and the probable course of events
in banking and speculative circles a.

Fundamental among the facts that
are being faced by government experts
and by students Of Treasury condi-
tions is the rapid accumulation Of sur
plus. The excess Of receipts over
expenditures amounted to $75, ole, $3.50
at the close of business June Is, and
it is the confident expectation that be-
fore the end of the month there will
be in round numbers $80,000,000 as
the net result Of Treasury operations
for the year. It is recognized that
this condition can not be allowed to
continue, and predictions are being
made by close observers Of legislative
conditions that great strength will be
lent to the government for tariff by
the continued growth Of the net hal.

III New Orleans decides to hold
an exposition in 1915 you may rest
assured that that exposition will be
ready for business on the date set
for the opening,'.' said Albert God
chaux at the New Willard Hotel here.
Mr.. Godchaux stopped off in WASH
ington on his way to New York.
1.-THE people in New Orleans are
considering the exposition question
very carefully" he continued, "and
they have no intention Of attempting
anything they can not accomplish.
If we had been inclined to be over
enthusiastic on this subject, the ex-
periences Of the jamestown manage
ment would have set us straight.
" Every body is talking about the
scheme in New Orleans at this time,
and the general opinion is in favor
Of going further into the matter. If
it is undertaken the most competent
men in New Orleans will be put in
charge Of it, and nothing that will
not reflect credit on the city will be
IN any way connected with it. The
idea would be to open the exposition
IN the early autumn and close it
about the first or middle of May.
"New Orleans is on boom just
now. The great improvement in the
drainage Of the city, the increase in
the business activity and the improve
ment Of all sorts Of property in and
around the city show the prosperous
conditions that prevail.u

Boxer Uprising Expenses.

The State Department fully con-
firms the statement OF the Chinese
minister that it is the intention Of the
President to release from the payment
of all but the actual expenses 10
which the United States was put by
the Boxer uprising Of 1900, provided
that Congress shall give its consent.
The fact that the indemnify is being
collected under the terms of a treaty
makes it impossible for the Executive
to act alone in this matter. But up
on the reassembling Of Congress next
winter, the President in his annual
message, will recall the facts con-
nected with the assessment Of the
indemnity, and viii suggest that the
payment Of more than the amount
actually expended be RENTED.

FOR GREATER MISSISSIPPI

From reports received and tabulat-
ed ct the Department Of Agriculture
and Commerce up to date, the showing
to be made by Mississippi as meat
producing state win be highly salts
factory indeed. Several counties have
gone above the million pound mark,
notably Lafayette with 1860, 315
pounds, Montgomery with loss, 667
pounds and Union with 1,248,521
pounds. While it is very likely that
other counties will show up with larg-
er amounts, these three give something
Of an idea Of the amount Of hog and
hominy produced in Mississippi. This
being the first year that the gathering
OF such statistics has been attempted,
and with the reluctance with which
some people gave them in, it is
possible that even these figures do
not do the counties full justice. Sup
pose that each county in the state
produced q million pounds Of meat,
had a thought been given as to what
that alone would mean in dollars and
cents9 It would aggregate in the
neighborhood of eight million dollars.
And it is believed that tllis figure &
pretty nearly correct. Quite fine
showing indeed.

The Delta Democrat, published 81

The Delta Democrat, published at
Tunica, after commenting on the fact
Of Mr.. Mathis success IN trucking at
Crystal Springs, says:
From the above it is readily seen
that the old poor hills Of our state
have . reserve force, for yielding 10
man and labor . handsome return
for energy and effort, far in excess
and bounty Of our boasted cotton
plantations. IT'S true that fortune
not every year favors this class Of
husbandry, yet, with the above results,
q yield Of over $500 per acre, or al
average Of, $50 per acre for ten years,
they can afford to miss a few crops.
We are very much of the opinion that
by establishing market for this class
Of farming in Tunica county the prop
erty owners would reap much great
er profit from their lands than de-
pending entirely upon cotton which,
like any other crop, often meets with
unfavorable conditions, both as to
growth and market. We have watch
ed with much interest the past spring
a small truck patch consisting Of four
or five acres between Evansville and
Clayton, conducted by colored man,
with the result that since vegetables
first began to come in, lie has more
than made expenses to work his whole
crop. From small patch Of 81 rows
Of onions some so yards long, he has
already sold $500 worth and says
that he wild get some thirty bushels OF
dry onions for shipping purposes.
From another small patch he has sold
more than $500 Of mustard and tur-
nip green's. From about an acre Of
irish potatoes after selling locally
some Is or 30 bushels at $3.50 per
bushel, dug and shipped rs bushels
the past week to Memphis that net
ted him $1.25 per bushel. These are
only part Of the truck he has sold,
a considerable quantity Of beets, rad
dishes, lettuce, peas and other vege-
tables having been disposed of at fair
prices. He has already realized more
from these few acres of truck than
he expects to get from his fifteen
acres Of cotton. -
Reproduction Of this article is made
to show that the delta section Of Mis-
sissippi does grow vegetables splendid
~ and to supplement the experiences
from Garksdale, the Experiment sta
ton at Stoneville as well as other
places. Diversifcation is the watch
word and will in the future make Mis-
sissippi the richest and most prosper
GUS state South Of the Ohio river,
The good work being done will be &C
celebrated in the future and the one
crop Of cotton in the delta will soon
be thing of the past. Hay, grain,
hogs, cattle, as well as the small crops
will tend to diversity the products
Of the delta until it will be alongside
Copiah and other counties that have
been diyersifying for years.
