VERY LITTLE DONE
 IN COTTON MARKET
Exchange Affected by Holi- day at Many Cotton
 Points

New Orleans May 30.--The cotton mar ket today was affected by the holiday at many cotton points in the country and trading was not heavy at any time. The undertone continued good and even re- ports of rains in the Atlantics failed to bring out any selling pressure of conse- quence. At their best prices were to points over yesterdays last figures The close was to up.
 Rains in Texas were reported in private messages and were the main sustaining influence of the early trading. Bulls were firm in the opinion that tie government report on condition Monday would not be over IT and they supported this opinion with moderate buying.
 News from the crop continued unfavor- able in tone, although bears pointed out that more rain in the Atlantics would bring about a decided improvement. Liquidation, such as was in evidence Thursday and Friday. did not appear.

 splendid new citizens.

 lucky, moving their good citizens to this
 part of Alabama He has achieved some
 thing probably never before accomplished
 in Alabama or the south-settling intelli-
 gent, educated home-makers on about
 14.000 acres of the choicest lands of the
 black belt. These people paid about s400,- GOO for the privilege of becoming Alabama citizens. but they feel they have secured
 more than full values. This means more than $S0O0 for every working day added to this community since April l. to say nothing of the real great addition--an in creased number of good citizens. After all, sturdy, intelligent citizenship is a country's greatest asset, for intelligent white farmers mean good roads, good schools and permanent prosperity. The campaign inaugurated three years ago has borne much fruit and the results are seen and felt and shared on all sides. The merchants enjoying better aver age cash sales the banks have larger ana more regular deposits, and the entire sec ton around Demopolis Is growing and developing.
 The Kentucky and western farmers who first came proved to be the leaven placed in our midst from which has grown a better appreciation of the needs of mod ern methods and the possibilities of agri- culture.
 Though this section has, for many years, been known as a "cotton and corn country, this season finds an added crop alfalfa-of about 5000 acres.
 Tt is interesting to consider what these 5000 acres in alfalfa mean to this section and still more interesting when you con- slider what the total result will be by 1921 if the acreage Is increased only 200O acres each year, adding 1000 additional acres the last year.
 An acre of our land will produce from two and one-half to five tons of alfalfa, which will sell at from $l5 to $25 per ton. This is minimum for quantity and value. A fair minimum average would be three and one-half tons per acre at $2O per ton. The following table will indicate the rapid increase in the value of this farm

 In a good crop year Marengo county will produce 40,O00 bales of cotton. which valued at $70 per bale. would amount to q, 800. .000 but to produce this cotton it would require about 13O000 acres of land: 40,00Q acres in alfalfa would amount to the same crop value os the 130.000 acres in cot ton, while the cotton acreage would. if put in alfalfa, mean an annual crop of the value of 8, 900. But the difference in the value of the product is not the real difference. The real difference is that every pound of cotton taken from the land means just so much impoverishment of the soil. while every pound of alfalfa produced means increased soil fertility. Alfalfa adds humus and nitrogen, and its heritage Is fertility
 Even half told 1t is wonderful story, this story of the possibilities of agricul- ture in the black belt of Alabama--the story of King Alfalfa" The banker, the merchant and the business man gem orally, do homage to this agricultural sow bereign, and the same class of mon take on their hat in appreciation of the War

Weekly Market Summarv

New York, May 30.-The week in the stock market. which terminated with holiday (Memorial Day) was character ized by very light dealings and unim- portant price changes in the speculative leaders, although some of the specialties moved widely in both directions.
 Except for the Mexican situation and crop prospects, for both of which the future seemed highly favorable, senti- ment leant more strongly towards the short account. The financial community or more particularly the professional ele- ment was disposed to see in the latest official utterances from Washington strong possibilities of revival of the agitation of recent years against the so- called corporate interests.
 President Wilson's expressed determine tion to proceed with the antitrust pro- gramme now before Congress was re- ceived with ill-concealed concern.
 The industrial outlook, as personified by the steel and metal trades. was not especially encourag ging. albeit representa- tives of the first named industry were of the opinion that business if not prices, is sure to revive in the last half of the year.
 Further large exports of American gold to Europe called attention to conditions abroad, with indications of some relaxa- tion of the tense state of the Paris mar ket
