EDITORIAL OPINION

this S25, 900. borrowed, is evidently not
meeting those expenses; and yet
partisan editorials insist on stating
that the county is in splendid nnsn-
cial shape If it is. great many
people, who cannot collect their bills
against the county would like to know
why they cannot get their money.
Again. we say, this misleading
method Of discussing county Affairs
ought 10 stop The situation should
be stated as it really is, and good

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, June 2S.-Dealings in cot ton futures opened steady at an advance of 1 to points in spite of unfavorable cables. The weather map again showed considerable rain in the eastern and een- tral belts, which made shorts nervous over crop conditions, especially in Geor- gia. July displayed strength on reports that notices for that month in the New York market were being promptly stopped. Moderate demand gave the list a very steady tone and at the end of the first half hour of business prices were to points over yesterdays final figures.
 The principal features were private re- ports on condition. One was hearish and the other very bullish. One showed gain in condition of about D points and the other a loss of about l point. These two reports about balanced each other in their effect and the market remained very nar- row within q range of about to points. At the lowest the newest crops were to points under yesterdays close and July 8 action was points over.
 At noon the trading months were un- changed to points up compared with yesterdays final prices.
 In the afternoon prices hardly moved. At D. m. the tax on trade had been low cred and prices were points down to 3 points up compared with yesterday s finals.

JULY CONTRACTS

General Business in the Cot ton Market for Day Is
 Quiet

New York, June &.-Developnents with reference to July contracts appeared to attract more attention than any other feature in the cotton market today, and general business was quiet. with the close steady. net unchanged to points higher generally 2 to points higher
 The opening was steady at an advance of points to a decline of 1 point 1t was estimated that July notices represent ing about 45,00o bales of cotton was cir culatlng in the street, but a couple of prominent brokers appeared around the ring who seemed willing to take all the July offered, and the market sold up to a net advance of to points right after the call. Reports that the notices were being stopped by couple of the big spot interests and talk of too much rain in sections of the eastern belt, notably Geor- gia, seemed to inspire scattered coyer- ing, and 10 account for the advance. Real king checked the upward movement and the market reacted to about the closing figures of last night under favorable crop reports and some local pressure. But the flrmness of July, once the notices were out of the way, operated against any gen eral covering for over the week end. A private condition report issued by well known local' authority at midday mace the condition S2.9 per cent, comparing with the official 10 year average of S0.7 per cent and with a condition of 7S.9 per cent last month, caused some scattered realiz- Ing
