Cotton and Finance.

NutlOu anu GiuduNCs
The cotton market for the week has
ranged between ten and a quarter and
ten and three-quarters for spots, and
a little less for future deliveries. Lo-
cally cotton spots have sold on the
street from ten to ten-sixty.
There is no Tightening up, except in
prospect, of the money stringency.
This of course, has had no little effect
on the price of cotton.
A gentleman of Macon who is par
ticularly well informed as to market
conditions, is of the opinion that cotton
will still further decline along with and
in conjunction with a general decline in
prices and values in all commodities
and stocks resultant from the general
financial conditions prevailing all over
the country. This view, however, is
probable only and far from assured.
Cotton, it seems, might be an excep-
ton from the influence of this condi-
ton, supposing it to be merely national
and not worldwide, as so much cotton
is sold abroad in its raw state as well as
when manufactured into goods,
The position of the cotton producer
is well set out in the following ironical
editorial from The Philadelphia Satur-
day Evening Post:
1t seems to be kind of treason this
fall for planters to withhold their cot
ton from the market in the hope of
forcing higher prices. Not only is mo-
ney tight; but at this writing foreign
exchange is rising, involving threat
of gold exports. We must depend
principally upon cotton which Europe
will buy in great quantities, and which
runs into money very fast to overcome
this menace and turn the tide our way.
That, in the view of search public
need, planters should hold cotton for
merely personal gain is truly reprehen-
sible We read that the banks will
generally keep them in the path of
duty by refusing to extend loan on
stored cotton.
A similar situation arises every fall.
Cotton makers nearly one-quarter of
our total exports. Much more than
anything else, it IS what keeps our
trade with the world going. We must,
each year, hurry out the great staple
in order to meet our balances in Europe.
The function of the cotton industry in
financing our foreign trade Is so impor-
tant, indeed, thtt one might almost ex-
pect to see bill in Congress intro
duced by a gentleman from Pennsyl-
vania and backed by the stand-pat
league forbidding planters to withhold
single bale that was ready for export.
We have marvellous resources in ore
and fuel for the steel industry, But
we cannot trade with the world very
much on them. Artificial prices made
by the tariff prevents that, Exports
of iron and steel in all forms amount
to only one-sixth the exports of stuff
produced on the farm. 1t is the unpro-
tected producer upon whom we must
depend to settle for the articles we buy
abroad. Unprotected cotton and food
stuffs, comprising about 60 per cent of
our total exports, enable US to do bust
nsss with the world

Nunc ct Tune.

There is peculiar interest attaching
to periodical literature of a long past
era when read in the light of subse-
quent events or when compared with
similar literature of the present day.
A good instance of this was run
across the other day in looking over a
bound volume of the Eclectic Magazine
for the year 1860. Several pages are
devoted to description of and panegy-
ric on the steamship "Adriatic" Their
Just returned from her maiden voyage
across the Atlantic. Her size, which is
always referred to as colossal or mon
strous, her equipment, her luxurious
appointments, her speed, safety, easy
motion, etc, all record breaking, We're
referred to in exactly the same spirit
and almost in identical terms as were be-
ing used last week in newspapers and
magazines in connection with the Lus-
itania. Yet the Adriatic was but half
the siSe and made but half the speed of
the Lusitania, aad would hardly be
used as a cattle ship in these days.
Will the generation of 1850 read our
contemporaneous accounts of the Lusi-
tania with the amused smile of supe.
rlor attainment with which we read Of
the Adriatic? In an era of progress
there is tremendous difference be-
tween "Now" and Then"
ga convention of planters was
held at Macon, Ga, on October, 28th
The object of the convention was to
render the planters of cotton more in.
dependent of the ordinary vicissitudes
of trade, and to obtain more uniformly
high prices for their great staple. !"
This might have formed an item in anv
monthly journal of this present month,
but it is actually taken from Harper's
Monthly Magazine of December 1851
In the same issue occurs the follow.
ing Inc magnetic telegraph has be-
come so common an agent of trans
uniting intelligence in this couatry as
to render all news of its progress inter
esting and important. Substitute
wireless" for magnetic" in the
above paragraph and it brings the item
down from 1851 to 1907.
What are the secrets of the learned
of one age are the common knowledge
of later one, and some of us now liy-
ing will see the day, in all possibility,
when the wonders of today will be sim
pie and common, and the world mar
yelling at achievements which to a sue
ceeding age will be, in their turn, trite,
puny and elemental.

The Jewish outlook., 1907-01-18

which the government is asked how many
victims it desires to have in the massacre,
and the order is executed as given. What
interest has the government in organic
ing massacres? Here is the reason: The
government rObs the peasants and the
peasants starve. This naturally would
have the tendency to arouse the peas
antry against the government. But you
know that when comparatively rich
man is shown a richer one, he considers
himself poor, and if a poor man sees
beggar he considers himself rich. Work
ing on this principle, the Russian govern
ment felt that it had to do something
to show the peasants that there are other
classes in Russia more unfortunate than
the peasantry Whom could the govern
ment select? Of course, the Jew, who
was not trained to WELD arms in his own
defense This is why the system of
pOgrOms was organized.
"The Jews in Russia are the chosen
people, but not the chosen people of God.
They have been chosen by VonPlehve to
be massacred and robbed. They say,
Jews are revolutionists. | am not a revo
lutionist, and 1 will, therefore, not be
partial to revoutionists. l belong to
what is known as the opposition, which
for the stupid Russian government is
something as bad as revolution. The per-
centage Of Jews in the revolutionary
movement is not greater than that of
other nationalities living in the city. You
know that city residents are more intelli
gent and more active politically, and as
the Jews have been compelled by the
Russian government to live in cities, they
naturally take part in the political
movements of Russia.
DR.. Levin then proceeded to argue
that the real solution Of the Jewish ques-
tion is through Zionism, the establish
ment of Jewish state in Palestine, for
which he works and to which he has dedi-
Gated his life.
The Jewish outlook., 1907-01-18
DR.. Shmaryahu Levin
at St. Louis.

At Shaare Emeth Temple, Dr. Levin,
former member of the Russian dlma, de-
livered patriotic address in German.
The meeting was presided over by Mr.
Ben. .jamin Altheimer who introduced the
speaker and made a few eloquent re-
marks. Dr. Levin s address was in part
as follows:
81 am asked" said DR.. Levin
"whether there is a possibility Of future
massacres of the Jews. The question
understand the situation. There was not
one instant, | might say, since 1882,
when massacres of Jews were not in
progress. There is a systematic effort on
the part of the government to create such
conditions that the Jews shall not have
the possibility of earning bread. They
are made to starve. Of course you will
say that few Jews are found dead Of
starvation on the streets. But you well
know that if conditions are such as not to
permit man to earn enough he can not
nourish his body. Since Kishineff, how
ever, there are what may be called pre-
cipitated massacres. This is system
organized by the Russian government on
an extensive scale. You people in Amer
lea, and the people of otherwise civilized,
progressive countries, have taken care to
organize your railroad lines, your indus
tries. The Russian government neglected
these things, but it has organized per-
feet system of massacres
cit has only to press a button in ST.
Petersburg, and a massacre is made to
order. There are well known cases in
