SENIOR FERNANDEZ.

Senior Fernandez Is a leader at the bar
and in the United States would be called
A trust lawyer, as he is engaged In most
Of the big cases He knows very thor
oughly the intricacies Of Central Ameri-
can policies and is said to have definite
policy as 10 relations with Nicaragua.
DIR. Durham is the head of the medical
profession in Costa RIGA, and has a
notable personal popularity, although he
has never been active in politics as an
officeholder. One of the charges which he
has to answer is his lack OF experience in
public life. This he does vigorously. He
is said to be the favorite of the leading
Costa Rican families, and is represented
10 be the most anti-American of the cam
aidates, II that construction can be placed
on ultra pro-Costa Ricanism. for this is
the form it takes. President Jimenez is
maintaining an attitude Of benevolent neu-
trailty among the three candidates, al
though he is said to have have personal
preference.
Campaigning is carried on largely by
means of manifestoes. The candidates de-
clare their programmes in manifestoes.
They Indignantly dispose OF the asper-
slons and misrepresentation OF the
friends of the other candidates by mani
festoes. These are printed in the news
papers and put up in the shop windows
as posters. Meetings and rallies are also
held, and there are parades with bands
Of music.
A supposed test of popularity is in the
Sunday free excursions. The candidate
who has the largest number of excursion
lists on any Sunday is presumed by his
supporters to be in the lead. There is a
suspicion that this Is not a good way TO
measure the relative strength, for those
who go on one candidates excursion this
Sunday are likely TO accept the hospital
lily OF one Of the other candidates next
Sunday. They are as open-minded as the
members of the political clubs which

, spring up i'm American cities during mu-
nicipal and state campaigns.
FOREIGNERS who have lived many years
in Costa Rica bear testimony that the
elections are fair. once or twice there
has been an election riot, which came
perilously close to a revolution, but on
these occasions il was said to be a pro-
test against a scheme to defeat the will
OF the people as given utterance TO at the
urns, or ballot boxes. The coming cleo
ton will be fair and orderly, and the
successful candidate will represent the
prevailing sentiment Of the majority OF
the Costa Rcan voters. He will also
stand for Costa Rican autonomy, which is
the indirect way of putting the dgnifed
expression of anti-American sentiment and
protest against Secretary Bryan's Cen
trail American policy.
A sympathetic analysis Of the state CT
mind of Costa Rica may help to explain
its attitude in relation to the perpetual
tangle of Central American politics. Peo-
pie in the United States also may hear for
the first time of their supposed designs on
the model little Spanish-American repub-
lie. Knowing the designs are attributed 10
them, they may have more liberation for
Costa Rican outbursts, although their
convictions are not apt to be changed on
the fundamental questions of atin-Amer-
lean policy and the new responsibilities
growing out of the Panama Canal.
THE REPUBLIC OF COSTA RIGA.
Modern Spansh-American republics are
not so numerous that one like Costa Rica
can be passed by The country is COM

the Atlantic, with a railway line from

most of the population. the total OF which
10 about equal to that of the District OF
Columbia The government is stable ana
the people are orderly ana Industrious
Revolutions have ben so few that they
form no distinct page IN the history OF
the country since its Independence was
achieved. The poems themselves have
stake in the soil and do not take kindly to
the notion of starting revolutions for the
benefit of ambitious politicians. The native
population is fairly homogeneous and is
of Spanish stock.
1t has been claimed that this racial
purity was one reason why Costa Rica got
along so much better than the other
Spanish-American countries which have
their battling racial mixtures. President
Jimnez gave this theory a setback last
April in letter to a friend in Salvador.
in which he spoke Of Costa Ricans as
people identical with the people Of other
I.atn-American countries-that is. blend
of Spanish, Indian and African. This as
sertion was not altogether pleasing TO the
old families Of Costa Rica, and has not
been accepted unreservedly as a descrip-
ton Of the racial basis Of the Costa
| Rican people. The Indian strain among
the poems, however. is pronounced The
African is less apparent, exec II along the
Atlantic coast lands.

THE ExILE's PARADISE.

1t is not the practice of Latin-Ameri-
can dictators and revolutionary leaders
to remain quiescent when in exile. so the
hospitable little capital of San Jose is
more or less all the time the theatre Of
plans and plots affecting the neighboring
countries. although the government does
not permit overt acts.
Sometimes question Is raised whether
the model little republic Is as modest as

FEELING IN COSTA RIGA.

While in the United States for the
time being the subject is forgotten, Ii is
very acute throughout Central America,
and especially in Costa Rica, where the
people, with a keen perception of the ul-
innate questions involved, cannot get 1t
out of their minds. They feel that 1t ac-
centuates the overshadowing problems
which grew out of the Panama Canal, the
extent to which the influence OF the
United States is to be exercised, and the
future Interpretation Of the Monroe Doc
trine for all the region from the Carib-
bean to the Rio Grande. With the Re
public of Panama on one side, under an
open American protectorate, and with
Nicaragua on the other side, ready to ac-
cept one. Costa Rica took fright at the
prospect of losing its own identity. Hence
the determination to show what IT thinks
Of Mr.. Bryan and his Central American
policy.
Before explaining the position OF Costa
RIGA a word may be said about the Presi-
Dental campaign. The candidates are
Senior Yglesias. Senior Fernandez and Dr.
Durham. Senior Yglesas is an eX-Presi-
dent. When in Office he gave marked en-
couragement TO the investment OF foreign
capital, and his policies have much to do
with the material progress Of Costa RIGA.
He ruled with a strong hand. His enemies
charge that he was a disguised dictator
who dominated the National Assembly b.
too forceful methods and who would never
have yielded his Office except for severe
Illness. No one questions that he gave
Costa Rica an excellent administration
He is understood to have the support OF
the clerical element in the present contest.
and this means conservatism

Grain Notes

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: SENT
ment in wheat is somewhat bearish with
the outside trade light The bears are
talking lower prices, but conservative
people are looking a the market as a
carrying charge proposition and do not
expect much change from present levels
until the Northwestern crop is prac-
tlcally made. Bulls in corn are figuring
that as corn is a weather market, It
should be bought on all breaks, while
some Of the bear traders believe that
Ii should be sold on bulges, Sentiment
on oats is mixed"
II is said that farmers in Illinois and
Indiana will not sell corn or oats at
present levels.
Bartlett. Frazier & Co. "Wheat-The
market seems to have little or no rally
ing power, but we do not care to follow
the decline, and think some reaction is
overdue.
"Corn-We look for a nervous market,
but believe prices win rule firm.
"Oats-The lack OF outside support,
coupled with hcaviness in the cash sit
uation resulting in further scattered
liquidation and exceedingly heavy short
selling by local professionals.
"PrOVisiOns-There was more or less
profit taking yesterday, but the declines
were moderate and the market by no
means is weak one

NEW ORLEANS. July 16.-Contrary
to indications Of yesterday the weather
turned decidedly cooler over night In

In the AtantiCs, particularly in the
coast district Indications to-day are
for generally fair in the Central belt,
increaslno cloudiness and some showers
in the Atlantics
Our market opened unchanged. but
soon advanced on the strength I'm New
York. All advices from there show
nervousness oyer the small stock there
and the intention existing in leading
quarters to boost the market
Mr.. Theo Price issued a bulish cir
Cular with the small stock as the basis
Then we have to contend with the
conventional expectation of short
scare every year during the critical
period. This anticipation checks SELL
ing and makes the market responsive to
little buying The pointing out of crop
defects, whether real or imaginary. but
reaching many ears, may also have the
effect Of lowering the July condition re-
ports. which constitute the August Blu
reau.
That the advance is systematically
directed at the short interest IS indi-
Gated by small daily gains in prices
which makes shorts nervous.
New York reported Hicks Peu and

COTTON GOSSIP

NEW YORK. July 16.-The market
has ruled quiet but steady There was
some selling of August on and after the
opening, which was attributed to Liv-
erpool, and the buying of the summer
options seem to come from the spot in
tereStS here.
The rally came on buying by the
same brokers on Yesterday and there
was very little cotton for sale A prom
lnent Wall Street operator is said to be
among the principal buyers to-day
The continued dry weather in Texas is
said to be the cause for buying of the
new crop.
Sentiment is somewhat more bullish
to-day and further advance is looked
for, though the bears contend that a
further rally will bring out heavy sell
ing by those who are hoping for a high
er basis. Ii is believed some Of the up-
town crowd have sold to-day. NJ

Since April 80, when the local stock
of cotton was 5000 bales, something
like 10000 bales has been shipped out

sold out.
