NEW CROP RULES MARKET.
INTEREST OF TRADE Conferred
ON CONDITION OF CROP.
If Temperature Fails to Warm I'm and
Rains Come Bulls Will Gain Adyan-
tage.

New Orleans, May 1.-The interest
OF the cotton trade this week will
probably almost wholly centre on the
new crop situation. The old crop did
not attract much attention last week
and it promises to attract less this
week. Old crop holdings are grad
ually being transferred to the new
crop months and from now on October
and December promise to become
more active than July.
The new crop is in a more or less
critical condition because of the
droughty conditions in the Eastern
pelt and the continued low night tenn
peratures. Probably this latter feature
Is OF more Importance than the first,
although market writer's are giving
1t less prominence. If temperatures
do not warm up this week and if
rains do not fall in the Atlantics the
pulls Will be given a decided advan-
tage. Already much replanting has
been necessary, some sections report
ing even the third replating and con-
tinued unfavorable condition will have
tendency to increase the necessity
OF 1t. This may lead to some aban-
donment Of acreage and would mean a
late start for a part Of the crop.
whlch In some measure would offset
the large area originally broken for
cotton this year. Principally, it will
be weather market this week.
The increased exports Of late have
been surprising to narly every one.
but there have been few signs of a
good forward business in the spot
department. How spinners are going
to view the new crop is a big ques-
ton. which all traders are anxious to
solve. Any signs that exporters are
selling spinners cotton for fall and
winter delivery will probably be the
signal for bull activity in futures this
week. while continued holding off will
encourage the short side.

Dabbs Calls on Farmers of State To
Organize.


Columbia, May S.-"There was
never a more opportune time for form
ers to organize than now, and l wish
this call would be so loud that every
farmer worthy of the name could hear
and would give heed" said e. w.
Dabbs, president Of the State Farm
ers' Union, in public call to the farm
ers Of the State.
In his call Mr.. Dabbs deprecates the
lethargy displayed by the farmers of
the State. and says that they are more
prone to criticise than to organize and
put their shoulders to the wheel of
advancement. He urges all the farm
ers of the State to join their local or
carnations and to make the State
Union vital. driving force for the
benefit of the farming interests Of the
State. He AYERS that the indifference
now displayed cannot make for a CEN
tralized, cooperative strength in the
state Union, and looseness of attend
dance at the annual meeting soon to be
held, at which the policy Of the admin
istration OF the union will be shaped
for another year. and the election of
officers will be had. will have n dete-
riorating effect on the organization.
Mr. Dabbs said that the Farmers
Union should be represented at the
National Convention by more than
one delegate, but that such represn-
tation is all We are entitled to unless
more local unions are organized before
the Annual state meeting.
In commenting on President Dabbs'
call. Col. f.. j. Watson, commissioner
OF agriculture. commerce and indus
tries. this morning said:
lhere are now more reasons why
the farmers Of South Carolina should
maintain strong local and county
unions than ever before The reasons

MExIcANS IN TROUBLE,
AWKWARD SITUATION SEEMS
TO BE LOOMING UP.
Railroad Line Is Cut. All Fuel OH
Used In Locomotives is Brought by
This Route.

Mexico City, May 11.-What may
become for the government a more
awkward situation than that caused
last week by rebel successes in the
north was the cutting today of the
railroad from Tampico to San Luis
Potosi. Over this route all the fuel
oil used by locomotives is moved, and
1t will now be necessary to ship from
Ts.mpico to Monterey.
The Tampico- Monterey line has
been cut repeatedly, and has only
been temporarily repaired. If this is
cut again and the rebels prevent re-
pairs between Tampico and San Luis
Potosi 1t will be necessary to use the
west coast ports as a makeshift. The
oil on hand is sufficient only for two
or three days Any condition that
would prevent further supply would
result in the practical suspension of
transportation.
The last week has shown little If
any Improvement in the situation for
the government. Conscriptions have
continued; more troops have been
mobciized in the north and in the
State of Morelos. but they have not
yet been able to do anything but act
on the defensive except in a few in
stances. The regions are overrun by
rebels and the towns occupied are so
widely separated and so numerous as
to make specification difficult.
The Zapata forces are active and
do not hesitate in taking the Initiative
In attack. The zacatecas garrison was
reinforced today by Pascual Orozco,
Jr, with 200 men. Torreon has been
Isolated. Gen. Telles, in command of
the operations around Monterey, has
made only questionable gains. The
government does not admit reverses

moras.

Want BIG WARSHIP.
NAVY GENERAL BOARD WILD
ASK CONGRESS FOR GREAT
VESSEL.
The Drcadnaught I"nposed Would
Displsce 10000 Tons and Cost
About S:O,OOO,OOO.

Washington, May 11.-Congress will
be asked next year to appropriate for
one battleship, a mammoth dread
naught. displacing 10000 tons and
costing about s2o,ooo.oo0. according
to tentative plans of the navy general
board. made public today. This yeer
the navy department asked for three
battlsships and got one. II did las.
year. when ne department called for
two.
During the debate on the naval bill
this year. members of congress inter-
ested In the navy became satisfied
that while there were two extreme
factions one advocating appropria-
tons Tor two or three first class bat
ueships year and the other with
mo battleships' as a slogan. an over
whelming majority In both houses
could be counted upon to vote for a.
single dreadnaught. This situation
has been impressed upon the general
board and IA a result the permanent
building programme may be revised
to a one basis, with provisions for
adequate colliers. destroyers and 9TH
CT auxiliary crafts.
This one battleship. however. will
be a monster, IL the board plans ma
terialize. IL would have q displace-
ment of 10000 tons. and would be
Just about one-fourth larger than any
ship yet authorized by congress and
would rank as the largest and most
formidable craft Of war In the world.
The plans contemplate giving the
dreadnaught engines that would drive
her through the water at the rate of
30 knots an hour--faster than the
unarmored "greyhounds" of the navy
could travel few years ago, without
sacrificing anything I'm more powerful
batteries or seaworthiness. Just what
tho armament would be has not been
announced, but II certainly would be
equal to That of the last ship author
ized. which Is TO cary a main battery

turrents. three guns to a turret.

the local unions. 1t is idle to criticisc
the union and it's officers when you,
Mr. Farmers, have not lifted hand to
help shape better policy.
commissioner Watson writes me
that he will try to be at the next meet
ing Of the Sumter County Union. 1t
is to be hoped that those unions that
rallied to respond to the request Of
the County Union for a report on the
good the union has done and the two
or three things the union needs most
VIII at this meeting contribute their
share to the written record.
q
Another very important matter for
the locals to thrash out before the
county meeting is what you will do
toward promoting a county fair. To
the writer 1t seems like fair call" to
suppose the farmers of the county will
subscribe and pay over two thousand
to four thousand dollars, being 20 per
cent Of the proposed capital stock OF
a county fair, when they would be
hopelessly in the minority in the man.
agement of it, when they could get
so much more returns by putting the
same money into the Union Broker
age Company, where they own and
control every dollar.
=
AS Bro. j. M. Kolb said at the
county meeting: That much cur
rency added to the capital of the
Union Brokerage Company would
make of 1t a real selling produce ex-
change that would do as many times
as much good as a county fair" The
next meeting Is to be big rally for
county fair. The locals better give
a careful heed to Bro. Kolb's warn
ing and continue to study how to build
up the union, rather than go into the
untried field of a county fair.

l am reminded Just here that
Charleston County Union men say they
have buried the union and planted a
$4,000 monument to it in the money
lost in the Mississippi Warehouse COM
pany. We kept out of the Mississippi
Warehouse Company because it would
not stand an investigation. Will we
be less careful in the fair proposition.
and may be build us a monument to
a dead union?
am not opposed to county fair,
but am opposed to side-tracking the
work OF the union for the more spec
tacular twenty thousand dollar fair.
Read carefully the letter from the
Sumter County Union copied from the
Progressive Farmer, and see if there
is not outlined in it a more pressing
need for the farmers of Sumter Coun-
ty than twenty thousand fair. That
a county exhibit. something like the
county school day, Boys Corn clubs
and Girls Tomato club institute COM
bin.d can be held to advantage I have
no doubt. but better have none at all
than to tie up ten to twenty thousand
