Colonies or States?

"a correspondent presents, with
good deal of forcefulness. on another
page, the arguments for eventually adj
hitting as States of the Union our
colonial or insular possessions; but he
does not seem, to us, to perceive the
effect of such admission and the real
and serious objections to it.
1t is perfectly possible to give to Porto
Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines all
the rights of self government possessed
by any State in the Union without in
viting those communities to elect sem
ators and representatives to make fed
eral laws and authorizing them to vote
on the question who shall be President
of the Federated Republic.
"The reason why Porto Rico, Ha-
wall, and the Philippines should not be
invited to become partners in the
federal republic, help make the laws
to govern the present United States
and unite in the election of its chief
executive, is not because the people of
those islands speak a foreign tongue.
As our correspondent points out, they
may easily learn the English language.
It is not that the people of those is
lands are a foreign race. It will be

OUTLOOK SAYS NO STATEHOOD

writing to The Outlook, regarding thu
necessity of preparing all territory be
longing to the United States or which

United States for ultimate admission
into the Union as States, says:
But even though the English Ian
guage does not entirely djsplace the
Spanish or native tongue, it seems
to the writer that the policy of
The Outlook, that we should hold
the island possessions as England
holds Canada, is entirely wrong.
Having in mind at all times that
the Philippines, Porto Rico, and
Hawaii should not be admitted as
States until fitted for self-gOvern-
ment, then why should not they be
represented in congress, and why
should they not control their local
affairs as States? Would not the
inhabitants of these lands enjoy
ING the advantages of statehood, be
as patriotic as any of the present
States? With the record which con

Benrish Reports From Lam
cashire Are Received

Now York. September 30.-The cotton
market continued extremely active to-
day. hut after an early advance to new
high records for the season on late posi-
tions became nervous and unsettled as
a, result of unfavorable late cables from
Liverpool and closed barely steady unoer
heavy realizing and trade selilng' Will
prices net 1 point lower to 10 points
higher.
The market opened firm at an advance
of 10 To II points on much better cables
than expected and early advices from
Liverpool reporting that a conference
over the Lancashire situation was ex-
peeted to lead to a settlement of the LABOR
dispute before night. Realizing was eH-
tremely heavy from the start, but 1t was
wonderfully well taken, owing to con-
tinued broadening of speculative demand
and covering by Yesterdays sellers who
were evidently disturbed by the continued
bullishness of private crop accounts and
small private estimates of the yield.
Reactions were within a limit of to
points during the middle of the DAY,
and shortly after noon bulllsh private
reports from the south sent the market
up to the early high point, but a little
later private cables were received re-
porting that the Manchester conference
had broken up without any settlement,
and that lockout was inevitable. This
report was followed by heavy selling here
and prices sold at the lowest level or the
day in the late trading.
A private crop report issued by prom
inent local authority just before the OPEN
ing made the condition 66 per cent and
included a preliminary crop estimate OF
only 10, coo bales. These figures were
very closely in line with other private
reports so far published, and no doubt
stimulated much of the early buying.
Southern spot market officially reported
early were unchanged to 1sc higher. the
movement is increasing, the weeks IN
sight being heavier than last year, but
exports are also becoming much heavier
and today's private wires reported good
demand for spots. Early cables reported
a better business in Manchester, and pre-
dicted an increased demand from spinners

FURTHER DECLINE
SCORED IN WHEAT
Bears Drive Prices Hard and
Close Is Lower
STOCKS ARE HEAVIER
Announcement of Good Export Sales
Stimulates Corn But Reaction Fol-
Iovs-Oats Close Lower and
Provisions Irregular

Chicago, September 30.-There was a
bear drive at grain prices in the last few
minutes today and the market, which had
been wavering for some time previous,
closed weak at net decline of 2sq15c to
&c in wheat, %91kc in corn and 1s@Ac
in oats. The finish of provisions varied
from zoe loss to 15c advance.
During most of the day wheat was
higher than yesterday, but was unable
to make any noteworthy gain. The
slight rise was due mainly to the fact
that liverpool quotations were not SO
weak as had been anticipated Buying
power, however, was not important, and
there was increased selling with each adj
vance. One reason was that the rela-
tive bullishness in the English market
had partly for a basis predictions OF
lighter world shipments, but the fact de-
veloped that the total, although smaller
than last week, would be larger than a
year ago. Argentine, Indian and Aus
tralian shipments were shown to be more
than twice as heavy as at the correspond
ing time IL months previous. Then, too,
the stocks at primary points in this coun-
try kept piling up necessarily. Stores
at Minneapolis gained 100000 bushels for
the last seven days, 10 times the rate of
increase last year.
Early buyers let go and aggressive
short selling brought down prices in a
hurry December ranged from 96c to 973sc
and in the end was 96@961sc, net loss
of 5sc. ,
Announcement of export sales stimu-
lated buying of corn, but desire to pur-
chase disappeared when 1t was learned
that the export grain was already on
the way east, and had been sold low.
Ideal weather acted also as bear fac
tor The result was new low RECORD
prices for the season. December fluctu-
ated between 4S1ac and 49A@497sc, closing
weak at 4S1a@4Sssc, a net loss OF B41c.
The cash market was easy. No. yellow
closed at 52@521ac.
Shorts were the only buyers of oats,
taking hold on account of the receipt of
a few export bids at figures near the
market December sold from 321sq33c
and finished 1s@Ssc off at S214@32ssc.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, September 30.-The cotton
market opened steady, 14G19 points up,
with trading active and the ring excited.
Liverpool futures were much higher than
expected and gave the local market UNI
expected strength. On the first call shorts
were the best buyers, although commits
sion houses had a large quantity of or
ders to fill from customers on the out
side who were going long Private cable
grams explained the advance by saying
that the trade was nervous over small
crop talk, that bulls were buying the near
positions and selling the late, and that it
was expected that a final settlement of
the labor troubles in Lancashire would
be arrived at later in the day at meet
ing between the master spinners and the
mill operatives.
points up, but here longs began to take
profits on a large scale and at the end
of the first half hour of trading prices
showed a reaction of to 6 points.
The market was very steady throughout
the morning session, although realizing
by longs was heavy. Practically all the
offerings came from this source and they
were absorbed within a few points of
the highest prices of the morning. Bull
ish sentiment was intensified by the re-
port that the Giles bureau was out with
condition figures of &C per cent and crop
estimate of 10750,o00 bales. Late cables
from Manchester were the most optimis-
tic in months and quoted the cloth mar
ket strong and the yarn market harden

Huhbnrd Rro.. & Co.'s Letter

New York, September 3o.-(Special.)-
European market became excited today
after a quiet opening on the short crop
estimates In circulation, and advanced
some 10 to II points on continental buy
ing.
Advantage was taken of this unexpect-
ed advance by many of the recent buyers
to sell freely, taking profits on large
scale during the morning. In the after
noon advices were received from Man
chester that the spinners and the opera
tives had failed to come to any agree
ment and that unless the government in
tcrfered lockout on Monday was more
than probable. This led to selling by spot
houses against cotton they had bought in
the south during the past three days, UNI
der which the market sold off 10 to IL
points from the highest. The bulls are
very certain of small crop estimate from
the government figures. but there is
tendency to raise estimates of the Texas
crop to above $3.50 600 bales. among cotton
people
