HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW

Houston, Texas, Dec. 1S-The cot
ton trade is feeling the effects of the
bearsih government cotton estimate OF
14,ss5,O00 bales, which, with linters
and repacking added, will bring the
present crop to about 15,4oo,O0o bales
Yet the losses were not as great as
anticipated. The crop report was am
ticipated and discounted, and recently
prices have been strengthening owing
TO the rising premium of December
over January.
|. The week was featured by heavy
buying abroad 1t is known that Eu'
ropean spinners, thankful for present
American prices, have been buying not
only a year ahead, but five and SIX
wears. on the idea that cotton is cheap
and that 1t is we'll to make hay while
the sun shines. for acreage will be cur
tailed next year and prices may be
higher.
Another interesting feature OF the
week is the reported sale OF lo,ooo
bales of Texas cotton to India, the first
of its kind in five years.
The predominating feature OF the
Houston produce market is the con-
tinued heavy receipts of turkeys. The
wholesale price averages around lie
The great bulk of the receipts is being
continued north for the holiday trade
Fresh eggs are scarce and are IN
strong demand at soc. The chicken
market shows little change. Receipts
are liberal and prices correspondingly
low. Fryers are in better demand al
l $3.50 per dozen. Large shipments o.
Cuban tomatoes have been received
and bring $500 per crate. The marke
is we'll stocked with oranges iron
three sources-Louisiana Florida ant
California. The average price is $50
per box.
The weeks siege of rainy weathe
had a depressing effect over Soutl
| Texas, and forced delay in the hol
| day trade. Building over the coas
| country was at standstill owing 7
the rain. Dun's report says colle'
tions are slow because Of the cotto
holding movement.
Houston bank clearings for IN
week were s40,74S,O00.

Perhaps the best test Of the behavior

THE DRIFT TO THE CITIES.

II was hardly TO be expected that in
new country. sparSely settled, where vir-
gin soil is still accessible on easy terms
To any home seeker, the same drift from
the farm to the cities would be observed
that is noticeable in more advanced com
munities. in which manufacturing IS
steadily expanding at the expense Of az
riculture Yet the Canadian census re
turns show that the cities Of the Do
minion are absorbing far more than their
share of the Dominion's growth. In fact,
eycept i'm the newer western provinces,
where settlement is just beginning, the
cities seem TO have grown in the last dec
ade at the expense Of the rural districts
lust as notably as have the cities of the
United States.
Thus. while Nova Scotia lost 2,273 in
babitants between 1901 and 1911. Hall
fax gained 1000 Sydney 1900 an1
Glace Bay $500. The increase in the
Province of Quebec was 351,799 but
Montreal alone gained 19S, ,iG7. its sub
l,rbs about 2j.OO0 and the city Of Quebec
900. OntariO's increase was 336,955,
but Toronto gained 16S,2O0, Ottawa
26.412, Hamilton 29,245 and Fort Will
lam 1850. These four cities absorbed
about 70 per cent of the increase for the
whole province In Manitoba, where the
increase in the decade was 10000, Win
nipeg tool, $4,000. or nearly half of 1t.
British COumhia's gain was 1Si.1Q9, but
in Vancouver. with its suburbs, and Vic
toria, the capital. the increase was
1000.
The lure Of the city is, therefore. fully.
as potent in Canada as il is on this side
Of the border. Though fertile land is 10
be had AT a nominal price, both natives
and immigrants flock TO the cities, pre-
ferring urban industry TO tllling the soil
or marketing lis timber and other rc-
sources. The urban fever is spreading
everywhere. checking agricultural deyel-
epmcnt and forcing the prices of farm
products TO the urban consumer TO con-
Stantly higher Levels. The strength of
the drift 10 the cities which the Cana
dian census has disclosed is q striking
evidence of the universally of tendencies
which are rcvolutiouizing the old eco
monte and social order.
