consignment far below the average for
an arriving steamer IN the week pre-

have also been small.
The earliness of the date on which
Easter falls this year, and the short

MAY VALIDATE BILLS.
Southern Bankers Take Hopeful View
on Cotton Bills of Lading.

New Orleans.-Southern bankers
are taking hopeful view of the sit
uation created by the action of Eng
!ish bankers in demanding that cot
ton bills of lading, sent with drafts.
TO foreign ports, should be guaranteed
by American banks.
The position of many banks in the
South is at the same time one of
doubtfulness as to guaranteeing bills
Of lading. Many banking institutions
are yet to he convinced that they can
make such guarantee without endan-
gering their assets. 1t is asserted
that national banks, under the law,
cannot guarantee bills of lading, and
that state banks will not make such
guarantee. because they are unwilling
to assume the financial responsibility
thus entailed.
On the other hand, bankers of New
Orleans and other Southern cities say
they would not object to validating
certificates, but that this would be
as far as they would care to go in in
surfing buyers of American cotton
against loss by possible fraudulent
practices.

DECREASE OF CATTLE.
Commercial Supply Growing Less
Year by Year

Washington. d. C. A consider
able shrinkage in the commercial
supply of some of the prime neces-
saries of life is indicated by the
movements of live stock and meat
products in the United states during
the first half of the present year.
This decline was shown both in do
nestle and in foreign commerce.
The shortage In the commercial
supply of live stock is best shown by
a comparison of the half yearly fig
ures, which totaled 16,463,756 head
for the first six months of 1910, as
compared with more than 100000
900 in the same period last year and
nearby 21,OO0,000 for the CORES
ponding period of 1908.

FARMERS MIDDLEMEN'S PREY
Member Of the Country Life Commission Gives
His Views.

Sanger1eld, N. Y.--"The whole peo-
pie are beginning to feel that some
thing must be done TO make country
life as progressive, effective and per-
manently satisfying as city life We
cannot be a great people if one-aalf
Of our society Is more highly devel-
oped than the other half"
Thus declared Professor l.. H. Bal.
ley, of the country life commission.
appointed by President Roosevelt
shortly before the expiration of his
term, in an address before the San
geraeld Country club here. Professor
Bailey outlined the program which
he thought should be followed in OBJ
tanning the desired end.
The so-called country life move
ment ID slowly forming opinion that
something really fundamental must
be done to put rural society where it
belongs continued Professor Bailey
ITO make farming profitable is no
longer a question merely of raising
more produce. We have passed that
point. We now have knowledge and
experience enough to enable us great
ly to increase our yields, If only we
put the knowledge into practice
But the farmer, speaking broadly.
does not get his share of the proceeds
of his labor, Notwithstanding the in
crease in the price of farm products"
After stating that he recognized
the service of the middleman to So
ciety, although he said there is hard
ship and injustice to the producer in
much of the present system, the
speaker declared that we are under
obligation as public men to see that
these Determinations are removed
The middleman question" he con.
tinued, cannot be solved by any COM
bination of farmers, because it is not
an agricultural question. 1t is as
as much a problem for consumers as
for producers. But the abuses must
be checked and the middleman must
be brought under some means of con-
troll"
Professor Bailey then declared that
"it is just as much the business Of
the government to protect its people
from the rapacity of dishonest and
tyrannous middlemen as from other
abuses
