MISSOURI WATERWAY CoMMiS.
>sloN SAYS PEOPLE OVER.
LOOK ASSET.
EUROPE UTILITIES WASTE
Germany an. France Look to Garbage
-of Cities as sole Source Of Fertilix-
Ing Raw Materiais-What Might
Be Done in This Country.

American Waste" il such q com
mon subject in these days Of economy
and conservative agitation that it re-
Quires a leak of more than ordinary
size to attract the attention Of the
average American citizen. However.
the Missouri Waterway Commission
In the report about to be submitted
to the legislature Is calling attention
to a gross waste on the part of the
citizens uof this state-a waste OF a
resource which Is very little thought
Of, and about which less is known.
Under the subject OF drainage and
water supply, the commission has tn
vestigated the problem of sewage and
garbage disposal. In foreign cities
the garbage Is an important munich
pal asset which 10 .arefully watched
over by the city government, and
each year bids are received by the
city for the city's garbage and to
the highest bidder Is sold the entire
right of garbage collection And dis
posal. The purchaser collects (under
bond for failure to do so thoroughly
and pays according to the amount COL
lected.
The statistics gathered during the
recent fire years al Berlin, Hamburg
aud Bremen, and other large cities Of
Germany, show that the garbage nets
these municipalities $500 per head
for all cities of one hundred thou
sand population or more. The amount
Of garbage is greater per head for
smaller cities, but reductions plants can
not be operated at a very handsome
profit on q small scale.
In America the amount of garbage
may be said safely to be twice as
large per capita as that Of European
cities. 1t Is an old proverb that two
European families a live we'll on
what is wasted by n American fam.
ilys hence the value of garbage in
the larger cities Of this country should
be far greater per capita than in Eu-
ropean cities. The demand for fer.
til'zer (Which Is the chief product
from the reduction Of garbage) is not
so great ia this country as In Europe,
but the Waterway Commission has
taken this into consideration, and has
estimated that the net value Of gar
bage to the cities of this state should
be no less than $3.50 per capita.
There are three cities in the state
Of over one hundred thousand popula-
lion and four cities owe twenty thou
sand. These cities aggregate in pop
ulation nearly one million souls. and
the commission estimates that their
wastefulness could be turned into an
annual revenue Of approximately S.
000. 900, provided the wastefulness
were checked at the garbage stage
and not carried to a point beyond
which recovery Is impossible.

In the report of the Missouri Water
way commission, which has been sub
United to the state legislature, thu
attention Of car solons has been
called to the great change which has
taken place in the effect Of water upon
some of the agricultural lands of this
state. The time was when good
heavy soaking rains were o~ecurrences
devcutly wished for by the farmers,
and the breadth Of the agricultural
smile increased with each additional
drop. But that time has ~passed-the
heavy rains now put a deep gloom
upon the face of the wise farmer. who
goes indoors and turns his back while
the havoc is being wrought, instead
Of waite, ing the pleasant pit-a.pat.
The reason for 1t has bene discov.

Commission. when the hillsides and

COTTON MARKET IS
STRONG AND ACTIVE
General Covering by Shorts the
Feature of the Past Week
in New York.
BY Leased Wire to The Tribune.

By Leased Wire TO The Tribune
NEW YORK. Sept. s.-The cotton mar
ket has shown considerable activity and
strength Of an unexpected chara cter
throughout the week. This has been par
tcularly the feature OF trade during the
last two days. Covering OF shorts has
been general, with former leading
southern bear operator covering a large
line and doubling up on the bull side
on the circulation OF sensational crop
damage reports. This buying In con-
neouon with renewed activity by sonle Of
the former leading local bull operators,
the market has shown. with the better
demand and larger volume Of business re-
ported In spot cotton at Liverpool
in ths week s pTdes are low p to IS pens efay
for the general option list, and about 25
TO 80 points from last Saturdays clos
Ing With the highest point reached during
leans and Liverpool markets have
huctuated in a similar manner and prices
for spot cotton In the principal south
ern markets have advanced about Sl.25
per bale In sympathy
The movement Of the crop as figured
by the New Orleans cotton exchange
shows that over 197.9oo bales came into
week last year, and $4,000 In 1909 and
$4,000 In 1908. Total stocks now at the.
interior towns show an increase from
September ! OF 2l,07S bales. against 1882
last year. This authority figures out
decrease in the total worlds visible sup
ply of all kinds for the week of 29.271
bales, against a decrease Of 50,1s1 for
this week last year. and makes the pres
ent total visible supply OF all kinds 1870.
967 bales. against 1,41s,o9s last year, Of
which s42.967 bales are American cot
ton, against s29, 238 last week and 767,99S
last year.
The present total supply Of American
cotton at Liverpool OF only $4,000 bales
is the smallest for some years past, and
explains the sharp advance in the price
of middlIng cotton and September con-
tracts In that market during the last
week. These stocks VIII soon be heavily
increased from the shipments from our
southern ports Of over 100000 bales dur
ing the last two weeks. most Of which
are due to arrive between now and the
next ten days.
