NeM orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans. August 11.-Spot cotton unchanged; middling, 121sc. Sales on the spot, 750 bales; to arrive, 100.
 Futures opened steady at decline of points on poor cables The market re- covered immediately after the call and advanced steadily until, by noon, the more active months were to 10 points higher than yesterdays closing. This advance was caused partly by rumors that big New York interests, supposed to have been bearish of late, were abandoning the short side and partly by crop ac- counts and estimates from Texas which seemed to confirm claims of extensive cfop damage in that state A promi- nent Shreveport operator put out an esti- mate for Texas of 2,2500oo bales maxi mum. Late in the day prices sagged under profit-taklng by scalpers on the long side. The closing was steady at a net decline of 1 to points.

THE TIMES-DEMocRAT'S
 COTTON CROP REPORT

New Orleans, June 1s.-The Times- Democrat, in publishing its fifst re- port on the cotton crop of 1909, will tomorrow summarize conditions as fol- lows:
 There has been c moderate decrease in acreage--probebly about per cent. "TakinK the belt as q whole, the con dition of the plant lesyss much ns1S to De desired. t,,s7se- ss.
 'The supply Of iaber is fairly ads- ouata. as Q rule, though there Is . good deal of complaint in some see- tions."
 Among the reports from the cotton belt of unusual features ts the follow ing from Austin, Tex:
 "That Central Texas is without 6 cotton crop, with hale Of the month of June gone by. may be state of at- fairs difficult to imagine. yet such is the case, and to farmers of this sec- ton 1t Is sad reality.
 'This is generally admitted throush- out the rural precincts. and 1t Is De- lieved that the same conditions exist throughout the state and most of the Southwest. The State Department of Agriculture In this city confirma this statement. In fact. there is so little cotton in the ground that q compari- son between the acreage of this year and that of last Is next to impossible. About the only cotto nwell grown at the present time has been raised al- most exclusively by the hot house methods"

Heav,er BuIIet for the Army.

Washington. June 1a-Experimental ammunition has been made by the ord- nance department of the army for tests, with a view to ascertaining if 1t Is advisable to adopt heavier pro- jectile for the musket The ammuni- tion has been sent to the Springfield armory and the school of musketry for the hrings. The present bullet weighs 150 grains. The experimental atnmu nition includes bullets weighing 160 grains, ITO grains, ISO grains and 200 grains It is appreciated that the heavier bull let's will be subject to less deviation on account of wind influences. On the other hand. with the present pow der charge. which gives a pressure Of 52,0OO pounds per square inch, the heavier the bullet the greater will be the arch of flight. The lighter bul- let, therefore. has e fiatter trajectory and a greater danger area. If the weight of the bullet is changed a great amount of work will be involved in readjusting gun sights and computing new range tables

 CLUSTERING TO RIOT.
Three Were Aise Held for Conspiracy to 3furder-Jnps in Honolulu
 Excited Over Their
 Countrymen's Arrest.

Honolulu, June 1s.--Fifteen of the Japanese strike leaders arrested yes- terday were given q preliminary hear ing today District Judge W. L. Whit ney held twelve of them for trial on charges oe conspiring to riot and three for conspiracy to murder.
 Following the action of the court, ordering that no crowds be allowed to assemble outside, William Henry. Ter ritorial High Sheriff. joined County Gheriff Jarrett in the issuance of . proclamation forbidding the assembling of large crowds anywhere in the ter ritory while present conditions obtain. With thousands of idle Japanese ex. cited over the arrest and trial of, their countrymen. the authorities deemed the order wise.
 The authorities declare the evidence before the grand jury yesterday and the papers obtained In the Japanese higher wage association quarters. fur- nfshed abundant grounds for the be- lief that the strikers intended from the beginning to resort to Intimidation and violence In their effort to control the sugar industry and eventually the Internal affairs of the territory.
 District Attorney W. A. Kenney says the plan included the controlling of the strike by a secret committee and the carrying on of a campaign among the Japanese iaborers through the columns of The Nippu and The Jiji, two papers controlled by the leaders; the accuntu- lation ct funds for hiring attorneys to defend and furnish bail money for those placed under arrest as a result of their activity; to unite in the punishment by strikes or otherwise of such plant CTS as opposed the program and to boy colt such of their own countrymen az refused their co-operation.
 Senichi Uyeno. Japanese Consul een- eral. has advised his countrymen abainst the men who led the strike movement. He expressed general ap- proval of their arrest and prosecution.

 Under the law. either party to con- sroversy on railroad doing an inter- state business, may appeal to the Board of Mediation with the Idea of compromising the differences.
 Tn discussing the work of the Board Of Mediation. Chairman Knapp said to- day;
 go far as can observe. the results of the settlements with which I have been concerned have the restoration of even more friendly relations than pre- yfousiy existed. ft has happened. when a settlement has been reached. that all unkind feelings have disap- psared, with the result that the relas tione of the employer and employe have been more friendly. more seif-respect- ing and more considerats of each other than they were before.
 'sThis contact with certain phases of the labor question has led me to be- iieve ln the economic value and the public benefit Of high and advancing standard of compensation to railway employees. I do not hesitate to voice nay desire to see our railroads make earnInge which will permit them to pay liberal wages to an adequate num- Der of competent men. not only because I believe they deserve it, but because of the influence of the scale of wages in public service upon the wages paid in every grade oe private employment and because that policy, firmly be- lieye, will spromafe the sprosperity and hAppiness of all the people of our coufkryH ntt s.,,If
