NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS. October 18.-Cotton
futures opened steady, one point down
to two points up, compared with the
close of yesterday. Cables were not high
enough, but no attention was paid to
them, first prices being about the low
est in the early trading. On the call
December sold three points down. but
Immediately after the call there was a
quick squirt on fresh buying for long
account and some little short covering.
The reason for the buying was chiefly
the rains in the central and eastern
sections of the belt.
Prospects of more rain over Sunday
east OF the Mississippi and the cold
wave in the west increased bullish senti-
ment At the end of the first half hour
of business prices were to s points

MEASURING HAY.

There are tricks in all trades, and
the average hay buyer has system
of measuring hay that is liable to
cost the producer quite a sum II his
stack is not built Of the right pro-
portions. Most Of the buyers IN
order to find the cubic feet of hay
i'm a stack will subtract the width
from the over, divide the same by =
and then multiply the remainder by
the width and length. This system
will prove correct where the width
of the stack does not exceed two
thirds of the over. The govern
ment rule is to subtract one third
of the over from the over, divide by
? and multiply the remainder by
the width and length.
For example, take stack where
the over il 80 feet, width 20 feet
and length 80 feet The buyer Will
subtract the width from the over
with a remainder of 40, divided by
. equals 0,multiplied by the width
and length leaves Il total OF l2oOO
You will find by adopting the gov
ernment rule, the result will be the
same. Now supposing you have
stack 60 feet over, 30 feet wide and
80 feet long. Applying the mrs
rule you will have a total OF l3'9o'
cubic feet. By applying the gov
ernment rule you subtract one thir'
of the over from the over, divide b.
. and multiply the remainder b.
the width and length and you vii
2 find that you have total OF lS'oV
cubic feet, or about nine ton NOR
in the stack than the buyer woui
have you believe.
In selling your hay by measure
r ment you should insist on the gov
: ernment rule, or in stacking you
n hay be particular to have the widt
not exceed two thirds of the ove1
II YOU are interested take a penc
! and figure this out for yourself.

S. Halline, commercial agent OF
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas rail-
road, with headquarters in Denver,
passed through Salt Lake yesterday

up business for the Katy" line.
His opinion of the territory through
which he passed was summed up in
the above sentence.
Mr.. Halline declared that traffic
from the intermountain west was an
important railroad factor this year,
since the production of the middle
west had been forced below normal

SINGLE TAX ON FARM LANDS.

A. Z. Currie, assessor of Surrey
municipality, British Columbia, in
furnishing an American writer with
a sample list of farm assessments
and taxes of his community, added
foot note, which should go far to
overthrow the prejudice of American
farmers against the single tax, as it
plainly shows that all added labor
values are excluded from assessment.
Mr.. Currie's statement is as follows:
while land is classified as cul-
tivated' and 'uncultivated, the cul-
tivated land is assessed per acre the
same as uncultivated. We try to
keep track of the acres in cultiva-
ton so as to know how the muni-
cipality is being improved, but we
do not assess or tax cultivated land
higher than the uncultivated in any
tract.
Improved, cultivated land is
assessed the same as adjoining un-
improved land, and in assessing we
do not count as part of the tax
able value what the farmer has done
by his own labor or by employing
labor to improve it. There would
be great protest against that, fol
it would mean putting tax upor
the farmer for being industrious
As we look at it, man should b,
encouraged for his industry, rathe
than be taxed for being industrious
and any tax upon what a man pro
duces, or upon any improvement
that makes, is a tax upon his in
dustry.
1t would be very strange if W
should tax a mans improvement
upon the land, or in the land itself
for we are inviting thrifty, indus
' trious men to come here, make the
+ homes and be one of us. We d
y so because we wish to see our con
a munity grow, and be prosperous
t We want to see the thousands upo
o thousands of uncultivated acres Sc
t tied upon and put into cultivation
h and it would be very bad policy
: tax men for doing what all of
e want done. ''-The New Freedman
