Reuiew OF the Cotton Market

capital employed in their production
a legitimate control OF the supply
The year 1912 promises to mark a
new era in the cotton trade distin-
guished chiefly BY the application OF
the same sane principles TO cotton
production 1t used TO be assumed
that the South could produce nothing
but cotton: that it had TO produce
cotton to live. and that ii had TO sell
1t when produced at whatever price
was obtainable. whether this price
showe, profit or q loss and that
then ii was compelled 70 so on and
produce another crop To he sold at a
possible loss and so ad inhnitum. but
times have changed.
The great economic marvel OF the
present century is the expansion In
the worlds demand for cotton goods.
The demand is now SO great that a
surplus of million bales is far small
Ter in its relation to the total require
ments than was the case fifteen years
ago. Moreover. the South is richer
and better educated in the principles
of economic law II has learned how
TO do other things than grow cotton,
and its agricultural versatility en-
ables il from year to year so to
change the objective OF its enterprise
that when cotton ceases to BIT profit
able another crop Will be grown
For these reasons, and because It is
easily demonstrable that it costs at
least cents a pound to produce mid
ding cotton, and just as much to pro-
duce low-graie cotton that on.y sells
for cents Il pound when middling
cotton sells for . cents a pound.

world viii be better off for it, a
plethora of cotton at extremely low
prices in one year affords All injurious
stimulus to consumption. A dell
cheney and extremely high prices in
another year result in an equally in

The most thoughtful students OF
economics are gradually coming to
the conclusion thar mOnepelies are
essential TO the complex civilization
of today, but that 1t is necessary thal
such monopo,ies should be wisely and

NEWATA, Okla, Feb. 5-The
bodies Of Harvey Hurst, his wife and
Miss Elsie Adams, 16, were found half
burned in the ruins Of the Hurst home
at Delaware, an oil town near here,
early today. All are believed to have
been murdered before the house was
fired, bullet holes being found in the
tops of their heads. Neighbors assert
they saw a man run from the house a
short time before it was discovered in
flames. No arrests have yet been
made.
That five lives were really taken
by the murderer, was the declaration
OF the coroner's physician after the
inquest. 1t said that both Mrs. Hurst
and Miss Adams were in delicate
condition. From the state of the
bodies the coroner believes the victims
must have been shot or struck with
some sharp instrun ent and oil poured
over them before they were fired.
The police hope to establish clue
to the murderer as a result of the
condition of the dead women.

proposing his withdrawal from the

This statement was not submitted to

it best to take the matter into their

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.--With all
military preparations for intervention
in Mexico completed, the state depart
ment today anxiously awaited assur-
ances from President Madero that his
administration is able to protect all
interests, and put down the reyolu-
ton.
Unless this assurance is forthcom
ing and unless the situation in north
ern Mexico changes for the better,
American troops will undoubtedly be
ordered over the border. An answer
to the note sent through the American
ambassador in Mexico City, protesting
against the destruction Of American
property and the mistreatment Of
American citizens, is expected within
forty-eight hours. Some unofficial
advices to the effect that the Madero
government cannot handle the situa-
tion have reached Washington, but
the state department demands official
definite assurance that Madero can
control the rebels. Through the war
department $4,000 troops were today
ordered held in readiness for imme-
date advance One regiment of In
fantry and squadron Of cavalry will
be ordered to Ell Paso from Fort
Whipple, or Apache, Ariz.
The government has determined
that a show of force along the Mexi
! can border is necessary FOR the pro
! lection of American interests. Aftel
a conference between Secretary o.
War Stimson and General Leonard
4 Wood, today a general preparation
order affecting all troops within
mobilization distance OF the border
was issued. BY this order all infan
4 try and cavalry regiments in the west
and middle west will be outfitted will

readiness to be instantly rushed t6

A In addition troops will be moved

along the border, it being considered
3 inadvisable to weaken the force of s.
600 men now at San Antonio. The ef
feet of this order will be practicall,
to double the force along 1.-The Ri
Grande within the next forty-eigh
hours.
War department officials toda
made no effort to conceal the serious
ness of the situation. Juarez report
say the mutiny while apparently no
serious, is likely to break forth at an
time and sweep the entire norther
section. Communication from Cuerns
vaca being cut off no word has bee
r received from the twenty-five Amer
cans known to he there while Consr
Summers at Chihuahua reports cor
tinued undercurrent of unrest.
Advices from southern Mexico wer
even more disquieting. The Zapatist
were reported in control OF MoreIo
and Guerrero. The important town Z
, Balfas is also in the rebels hands
while Ilguila is in imminent danger {
capture.
