NEW ORLEANS COTTON FORE.
CAST.
Market Expected to Discount Wealth
er Disappointments.

New Orleans. July S.-The cotton
market this week, opening a day la
ter than usual. will be called upon
first Of all to discount what promised
20 be when the market closed for the
week last Friday night. important
weather disappointments. The fore
cast was for more rain In eastern part
OF the cotton belt. where too much
rain has already done much damage.
III the rains continue until Tuesday
morning they will overshadow In i'm
portance all other features of the
market.
The report on the condition last
week showed just how important the
weather Is getting to be. 1t Is time
now that the crop should be making
fast, and anything In the weather
that prevents normal development Of
the plant. thereby threatening the
yield. will have an immediate and
marked effect on prices, all the more
marked because of the semi-famine
condition of supplies of raw cotton.
Unless manipulation breaks out
afresh in the July position. it prom
ises TO be typical weather market
this week.
The semi-famine conditions are ex-
pected To have their effect among
mills in earnest before long, and of
late there have been signs that mills
were about to start closing down in
earnest shortly. as they have to do in
every season like the present.
The rumor was spread about last
week that the fifty-eight mills had
agreed to shut down four weeks dur
ing July and August, and the trade
will be waiting for confirmation Of
this report this week.
Developments OF this sort may have
the effect of offsetting TO some extent
the bullish features of the market.
The boil weevil situation will come
in for It's share of attention. for those
who have made study Of the con-
ditions I'm Louisiana. Mississippi and
Arkansas say that the first brood this
season Of the pest Is incubating in
young bolls and that II is only n
question of time before this brood
makes its appearance by the millions
and stirs up new complaint among
farmers. with consequent alarming
te!egrams and letters 10 tho main
speculative centres of the cotton
world. The extent OF boil weevi dep
relations will determine i'm a great
measure the yield OF lint I'm the three
States named. and curing more than
one period this season boil wccvil re-
ports will have much To- do In shap-
ing speculative opinion.
The July deal I'm New York may
show activity. and at all times the
trade will look for tenders from ac-
tual shorts who as yet have made no
very great effort to cover. Sooner or
later sensational trading Is bound to
take place I'm the July position and
operators tn an three markets OF the
world viii Dee ct,rcmely nervous until
this trading takcs place.

IMMIGRANT FARMERS.
The Class the United States Needs
Goes to Canada.
(From the indianapolis SUM-

(From the Indianapolis Sum-
A recent telegram from Ottawa,
Canada, gave the following report Of
telegram sent by the agent of the
Canadian government at st. Paul,
Mimi, to the immigrant officials at
Ottawa:
There passed through this Office
today and ticketed here from one To-
cality in Missouri, 20 families, COM
prising 60 people, for Ochre river,
Manitoba.
They were a splendid lot, taking
with them 10 carloads of effects val
ued at $4,000. They had also s7O,-
900 in cash."
This story is only the duplicate of
hundreds of similar character which
relate how this country is being de-
pleted of it's desirable citizens. it's
producers, its natives.
In their place we are getting a
steady influx of foreigners of an un-
desirable class who are consumers.
The exchange is not profitable. 1t is
lowering our production, increasing
our consumption and thereby raising
the cost of living.
What the United States needs is
more tillers of the soil. We need to
keep all of our agricultural class, and
we need to induce more of that class
to settle in this country. Canada is
following a fixed policy upon this
subject. She Is drawing agricultural
settlers, not alone from the United
States. but from European nations.
Her agents are across the seas offer
ing inducements to immigrants who
will settle farm lands and become
producers. Thousands of them enter
her territory every year.
Our immigrants, upon arriving
here. Immediately join the industrial
class; they go to work in the huge
mills and the mines and upon the
railroads. They beat down the wages
of the laboring classes. and they help
increase the cost of living. Yet q
great many Of these very immigrants
come from little farms and are vers-
ed in intensive farming. the very les
son the Americans have to learn. 1t
has been demonstrated wherever
A M lo fal ~,
Europeans that they are eminently
successful as farmers. California has
profited greatly by the introduction
Of Armenian farmers who are able
to settle small tracts of land---ten TO
twenty acres-and get from this land
as much as the average farmer would
get from three to five times that
much.
The back-to-the-soil movement Is
splendid proposition, and beyond
doubt there are thousands of Ameri-
cans barely earning a living in the
cities who would be better off finan-
cially, physically and spiritually upon
farm. Beyond doubt such a move
ment would tend to bring down the
high cost Of living for all classes of
citizens. But the greatest need is the
DETECTION Of the tide Of immigration
from the already congested cities to
the country districts. BY this the
evils complained of would be pre-
vented rather than cured The gov
ernment might help this by making
provision for the encouragement of
immigration Of the agricultural class
es from Europe.
