Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, January 6.-(Special)-A steady market, closing firm, on an esti- mate from the National Ginners associa- ton that they confirm their crop estimate of 12,8 600 bales. The principal buyers were local traders and Liverpool arbitrage operators reversing straddles between the two markets. It was noticeable during the day that January was for sale against May presumably for the parties who took up the deliveries made on Monday. The feeling in the trade continues to be bullish on the expectation that the spin ners will soon be buyers at higher prices.

Douglas Island news., 1909-05-05

Claiming half interest in placer gold mine in the Nome mining district, said to be worth S750,0O0, Josh R. Me- Intyre has begun suit against Capt. B. w. Johnston, wealthy Alaska mine owner, asking that the court decree his interest in the mine, No. 8 on Cooper gulch, and also order an accounting from Capt. Johnston. Mcintyre sets up in his complaint that in 1901 he and Capt. Johnston formed copartnership for the conduct of steat boat and towing business in the harbor of Nome and that subsequently,, without the knowledge of Mcintyre, Johnston traded the steamer Hootman, the joint property of tbe plaintiff and defendant, for the mine on Cooper gulch, which since has yielded enormously. It is charged that Capt. Johnston has re- fused to account for the proceeds and the court is asked to order sale of the property, and division of the pro- ceeds.

Canada and the Yukon

The official financial reports of the Canadian Yukon, showing receipts and disbursements, inevitably invite com- parison between the manner in which the Dominion treats it's great northern territory with the manner in which congress treats it's much greater and more populous territory of Alaska.
 The Canadian figures show that the Dominion government has expended in the Yukon S2,OO0,O0O more than it has ever received from that territory in the way of taxes of every kind and char acter, land sales and royalties upon gold production. In police protection and in the matter of the construction of public works for the development of the country the Canadian government has made record out of all compari- son greater than has the government Of United States.
 For many years the government of the United States enjoyed large rev. euue from Alaska without expending a dollar in the territory save for the salaries of those collecting the reve- nues To this day it's receipts from Alaska are out of all proportion greater than the expenditures. It levies special and peculiar taxes in Alaska, payable nowhere else in the country; indeed, they are revenues which the United States would not be permitted, under the constitution, to collect within the limits of any of the states. Yet con- gross assumes that it is conferring 8 benevolence upon the Alaska people when it appropriates portion of these special taxes collected in Alaska for public improvements in that territory.
 The Canadian government, as mat ter of fact, exhibits more intelligent regard for the higher interests of the country than does the United States, in it's treatment of the newer territory. It recognizes that expenditures made now, which develop the country and afford opportunity for opening new districts, will be more than made good in time, and further, that the people of new territory, doing pioneer work, have special claim to government aid in their work, two propositions which congress is totally unable to compre- bend or to apply.-P.-L
