1-16c to sc up. In spots Is found the
magnate that is holding the market SO
well together. for while receipts and
stocks are large there is but limited
supply of desirable grades which the
trade is so anxious to secure, owing TO
the crop being made up principally of low
grades That the situation in spots as
well as in futures Is the most peculiar
one that has been experienced for many
a year, the large discount al which grades
lower than middlng are quoted at almost
prohibiting the delivery of such cottons on
contract except at a loss. This feature
has worked in favor of market manipula
lions, but indirectly against the producer,
owing to the relative cheapness of the
lower grades. the yield OF which has been
SO heavy this season.

operating expenses. The general advance
which is going on in the wages of en-
ployes is not expected to show its full
effect until the reports of earnings for the
months of the next year begin to appear.
An example of the cautious temper of the
comment on the prospects for the future
is the intimation from a leading organ,
the Iron Trade, that untitled orders for
the second half of 1907 are placed condi-
tionally. and are in large part subject to
cancellation. There were points of
strength in the stock market throughout
the week, and general recoveries from
the early weakness was made.
Bonds were dull and there was no indi-
cation of an important demand for REIN
vestment, such as usually appears at this
period of disbursement of yearly profits.

A Miracle of Chance.

Ralph d. Paine in Outing Magazine.
Steam and electricity have wrought
no more spectacular miracles than in
the handling of cargoes on the great
lakes. One of the first cargoes of iron
ore ever mined in the Lake Superior
region was trundled aboard a little
schooner about fifty years ago. Four
days were required to put 300 tons
aboard her. A week was required TO
get the ore out of her. Two seasons
ago the great steel steamer Augustus
b. Wolvin loaded more than one thou
sand tons of ore In eighty-nine minutes,
or in less than an hour and half. And
this huge cargo was jerked out of her
in little more than four hours.

WATER PROBLEM IS.
NOW PENDING
SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS
ASKED IN CONNECTION WITH
WITH THE PROPOSED IN
CREASE or WATER SUPPLY.

A citizen of Astoria, deeply interest
ed In the problem of future water sup
ply for this city, has sent in the follow
ing communication in relation to the
present status and immediate needs OF
the local system. 1t carries its own
suggestions and Is well worth the ear
nest consideration of every Astorian'
Beside the selection of superin-
tendent and engineer for the system
TO succeed Mr.. Bergsvick, the members
of the water Commission are puzzling
their brains over Improvement to the
whole plant. An adjourned meeting
viii be held on Friday night next TO
consider this particular subject.
"Tne question which is Of the grav-
est import is, shall reservoir OF 20
million gallon capacity be built near
the city, or one of 100 million gallons,
be constructed at the headworks, ele-
ven miles distant?
"The first will make up the deficien-
cy in the shortened supply OF dry rea-
sons; it will furnish the city with wa
ter when the pipe line breaks, or is
shut off for repairs, and will furnish
water to the city when the present
reservoirs are emptied for cleaning or
repairs, or emptied by overdraft In
case of fire, or cold weather such as
prevailed this winter.
1T will furnish water TO families liv-
ing on the hills and fire protection to
the property situated above the eleva-
ton of the present reservoirs.
"The reservoir at the headworks will
keep up the water supply through the
tardy season, but nothing more. Should
the pipe line be out of repair, it would
not even do that, but be useless. I'm
der no circumstances would it meet
any Of the other advantages Of the
new reservoir near the town.
"The cost, also, is a heavy factor.
