PRICE TALKS ABOUT
COTTON MARKET
CONGRATULATES GOVERNORS
AND FARMERS UPON RESULT
OF NEW ORLEANS MEETING.

Theodore II. Price, in an inter.
view today said that the governors
of the cotton states. and the farm.
ers of he South We're very much to
be congratulated upon the result OF
the New Orleans meeting. That
meeting" he said. first put .he
world upon notice that the cotton
producers of the South were deter
mined intelligently to protect their
property, and did not propose to have
/ the fruits of their oil wreStod away
| from them at below the cost of pro
duction. Since that time although
the large short interest in the mar.
ket has been continually increasing
their crop estimates, spinners have
been buying and the market has
gradually improved.
For the week ending today, spin.
ners' takings of American cotton az.
gregate $4,000 bales These are the
largest single weeks taliings on rec.
ord in the history of the trade, and
attest most dramatically the dispo-
sition Of spinners to buy cotton at
present prices.
For the first time in the history
of the trade also spinners are max.
ing contracts which run in many
cases TWO years ahead. Future con
tracts for delivery in August, 1913,
are being daily traded in in Liver
pool, and several instances are re
ported of contracts for delivery as
far ahead as 1915.
"The worldwide belief in the com
paratiye cheapness OF cotton at
present prices is thus finding daily
expression, and the present crop,
however large it may be, is being
in effect sold to spinners for one
ard two years ahead
Mr.. Price said that even the hi@h-
est estimates promulgated by those
most bearishly inclined did not eX-
ceed 100000 bales. He said that
although he himself believed that
such estimates We're the grossest eX-
aggeration, he did not think the
market was likely to 80 any lower
even if the world became convinced
the crop was as large as these Zig
ures suggest. He said This years
consumption as estimated by Ellison
will be 13.3OO,OOO bales. If the crop
be 100000 the indicated surplus
is only 2,700,000 bales. There are
about 100000 cotton farmers in the
South, according to the United States
census. and if each farmer held on
the average a bale and half OF
cotton, the surplus would be more
than taken care OF, and the price
again rise probably to eleven or
twelve cents a pound"
Mr.. Price said that he became con
yinced last autumn when he was in
the fields with the Price-Campbell

farmer hauled bale OF cotton back
from the gin and put it on a pair of

VALUE or FARM PRODUCE
PLACED At s25,OOO,OOO

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 2S.-Indicatiye
of the prospects for increased busi-
ness activity throughout the north
western states this fall and winte- is
the report by the statistical depart
ment Of the Spokane chamber of COM
merce, which phases the farm value
of agriculture, including live stock,
poultry, fruit and vegetables, in Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana
this season at $3.50 100000, or more
than $91 per capita of total popula.
tion of 2,666,000
The wheat yield of the four states is
estimated at 76,500,000 bushels, as
against 65,1S0,000 in 1910, while the
hay crop is placed at 4,150,000 tons, as
compared with 4050,000 tons a year
ago, Oats, barley, rye, potatoes and
hops show average increases ranging
from 10 to 20 per cent over 1910. The
apple crop is not as large as last year,
but higher prices and increases in the
yields of other fruits WILL it is esti-
mated, fully make up the difference.
The farm value of agriculture in the
Inland Empire is estimated at from
$3.50, 100000 to $175,0O00O0, to which
/ is added $53,000,OOO as the value of
the mineral products and $22,000,o00 as
representing the yard value of timber
and lumber cut in the district during
the year. The last named industry
gave employment to more than 1e0,-
600 men. The lumber business has
been unusually quiet the last six
months, though there are heavy in
creases in export trade. The present
population of the Inland Empire is es-
tirnated at 100000.
/ Bankers and businessmen through
out the district say the outlook is
bright for business increases in the
! northwestern states, adding there is
every indication there will be expan.
sion in all lines of manufacturing and
jobbing, also that there will be more
than the usual influx of eastern capital
and settlers into the country.

BALLINGER AMONG
TAFT'S OPPONENTS
Is Against Capitalization of Control
of Public Lands in Federal
Bureau.

Denver Col, Sept. 29 = In an ad-
dress delivered before the public lands
convention here last night, former Sec
lretary of the Interior Richard A. Bal
Ilinger aligned himself with the oppon-
ents of further Capitalization of the
control of public lands in a federal bu-
reau and won the applause of the ad-
vocates of state control of the public
domain, who, the developments of the
lopening day of the convention clearly
indicate, are in control of the meet
! ing.
interest last night was centered in
view of the apparent sentiment of the
majority in what President Taft, who
is to address the convention next
Tuesday. will have to say The tenn
per of the convention was made plain
by the reception given the remarks
of Congressman Frank w. Mondell of
Wyoming, following his election of his
temporary chairman.
Shall certain great resources of the
western states be made a source of
federal revenue?
Shall certain great resources of the
western states be placed under fed
eral jurisdiction, even to the extent
of federal police regulations?
"Shall we as citizens of the western
states be compelled to accept certain
policies of the national government
when in the development of the re-
sources of our states widely differenti-
ate us from the citizens of other
states?"
These were the questions Mr.. Mon
dell declared for the convention to
consider in "as broad a spirit as the
most extreme conservationists could
hold"
That resolutions answering these
questions in vigorous negative will
be adopted by the convention practi-
cally is certain
Efforts to call caucus OF those In
favor of federal control OF public
lands failed yesterday morning from
lack of representation. Colonel Edgar
T. Ensign of Colorado Springs. by
whom the caucus was called, admitted
that the conservationists are undoubt-
edly in the minority, but that, irres-
pective of what action is taken by the
contention, will organize to advocate
federal control of national resources
as championed by former President
Roosevelt and Clifford Plnchot Definite
action, he said, would wait on the
speech of President Taft next Tues
day

Shreveport Rate Case.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 29.-The So
called Shreveport rate case. in which
the Louisiana railroad commission
seeks TO secure for Louisiana-Texas
freight business the same rates in
force between points in Texas, came
up for hearing before representatives
of the interstate commerce commission
here today The Texas railroads and
the Texas railroad commission are the
defendants The case is of vast i'm
portance to the railroads and shippers
of the two states. Should the conten-
tions of Shreveport be sustained, either
the Texas rates must be increased so
as TO place them on an equal footing
with those now applying from Shreye-
port to Texas points, or the interstate
rates reduced to the Texas schedule,
which latter step would enable Louis
lana shippers to become strong com
petitors for Texas business.

GOVERNOR CRUCE WILL
PUNISH UNFAIR" PAPERS

Oklahoma City, Sept 29-As the
result of violating instructions regard
ing release of Governor Cruces state
.ment concerning the special session of
the legislature and printing the state
ment as soon as it was received by
them, the unfair" list of daily news
papers in the governors Office mas
been somewhat enlarged. This means
that in the future they will not be
given the same consideration in the
matter of advance copies of informa-
tion as are the newspapers which
abided by the executives request and
declined to print the special session
statement until it was released by the
instructions which accompanied each
copy.
Printed copies of the governors
statement were prepared, and mailed
to something over 600 newspapers,
and since many of the country papers
had been asked for information upon
which the statement was based, the
governor thought it no more than fair
to them to permit it to appear in their
columns the same day it did in the
dailies. For that reason Thursday of
this week was fixed as the date No
sooner did some of the small dailies
get hold of the copy than it was sent
to the printer, and then to the press,
thus ''scooping'' by that method the
remainder of the state. Other papers
while not printing the statement, made
editorial references to it, and gave the
definite information usually under the
guise of having been learned from
an authoritative source, that there will
not be a special session"
When the correspondents sWooped
down upon the governors office
Private Secretary Amos said he could
not help the matter, since the action
of some of the editors had been a
fragrant violation of ethics, but that
those papers would be remembered in
the future. A copy of the statement
was purposely withheld from one
newspaper owing to the fact that IN
practically every instance heretofore
no regard has been given to the re.
quest to hold matter for certain re-
lease date.

Oklahoma City, Sept. 29.-The cor

views of the commissions as to the
holding of Judge Sanborn in the Min

Henshaw of the Oklahoma commission
who attended the conference at Lin
coin, Neb., as the representative of
Oklahoma
According to Mr.. Henshaw four diff
ferent briefs will be presented to the
United States supreme court in sup
port of the contention of the states
represented, contending that the San
born decision is not good law and
that it would destroy the rate making
power of the states if sustained by the
high court, brief prepared by the
corporation commissions of the seven
states, brief prepared by the com
mittee of governors designated a. the
New Jersey conference, one prepared
by E. T. Young, attorney general of
Minnesota, and one by the attorneys
general of the various states.
1t is understood that no one of the
four briefs will conflict with the other
but that each will present different
phases of the question from the view
point of the state. The appeal from
the Minnesota rate decision is set for
hearing at Washington on October TO-
but it is believed that it will not be
reached for argument before October
%, as a number of other cases are set
for argument on the same day.

stance that any state made rate which
discriminates against or places a bur
den upon any interstate rate is in
valid.
Commissioner Henshaw takes the
position that this decision if sustained
by the high court yitually will destroy
the power of state corporation COM
missions to fix rates except in minor
cases and that it also will result in
shutting out smaller industries from
the states as the state commissions
cannot fix rates that will protect them

ments will be heard before the inter-

ITALIAN WARSH|PS GUARD
TEIPOL| COAST AGAINST TURKS

T7ripoli Sept 29.-The Italian fleet
is demonstrating off this port, but has
not yet attempted to land men. 4
Gordon has been drawn along the
coast to prevent the Turks from land
ing arms and men. All last night
Italian warships passed and repassed,
throwing their searchlights on the
town. Five Italian battleships, one
cruiser and six destroyers arrived yes
terday afternoon, but did not anchor.
They are still visible.
The greatest excitement prevails
everywhere. Banks and business
houses are closed and trade is coni-
pletely paralyzed The Europeans
TEho remain in Tripoli are gathered in
groups in the streets. Nearly all the
Italians have sent their families away,
the consul giving them free passage.
The steamship Adria, with steam up,
is kept here at the disposition of the
Italian consul.
The Turkish authorities are doing
their utmost to maintain order but
there is an undercurrent of grave
alarm. Turkish pickets are patroling
the town day and night. The most
threatening danger is that the Arabs
may rise against the Italians. The
departure of many Europeans has in
tensifed the feelings of the Arabs
against Italians.
Trading vessels lie in the roads lead
4 their cargoes undischarged. No ma
tive or foreign labor can be obtained
so threatening is the native population.
Probably the remaning members of
the italian colony, who are at the con-
sulate, will leave Tripoli today.
