DANGERS OF CENSOR
SHIP

How many men, ambitious to re-
peat the coup of Nathan Rothschild,
are right now laying their plans to
get, in some world market, the ad-
vantage of the first news from a de-
cisive battle, in order to speculate
on It?
Nathan was not the founder Of the
House of Rothschild, but he was the
founder of its greatness. Years be-
fore Waterloo, while one European
coalition after another was crumbling
before the strokes of Napoleon's
genius, he clung tenaciously to his
faith that the Corsican would at last
fall. He took up the commitments
of the British government when the
treasury was unable to handle them,
and thus saved its national credit
and incidentally, because he bought
at a great discount and cashed in at
par, made a great fortune.
Watching the wavering fortunes
of Waterloo, Nathan hurried back to
London, arriving several hours ahead
of news from the decisive battle.
Change was fearfully depressed by
reason of having received the news
of Blucher's defeat two days before
Wellipgton's victory. At the low ebb,
Rcthschild bought everything offer
ed, and in a few hours the rebound
of prices brought the fortune that
has since enabled the house to
finance many a government, to die
tate whether war should or should
not be made.
Today the opportunities for such
coup are vastly increased by the
greater volume of transactions
through exchanges, and by the pos
sibility of a great syndicate getting
together the cash and credit with
which to conduct far greater specu-
lation. A great disaster to the al
lies today would fairly put Europe
in pawn. Followed a few days later
by the news of a Waterloo victory
for them, it would set the scene for
a very explosion of the markets, car
rying everything up to new high
levels. The interest that, fortified
with a cool head, cool cash, and ad-
vance information, should ccolly take
advantage of such condition to reap
the opportunities of open markets,
would gain returns beyond the pos
sibility of imagination.
Small wonder that exchanges in
the great centers are kept closed or
doing only the most restricted and
nominal businessl
Today, instead Of a relay Of horses
from the battlefield to the sea coast,
and thence an open boat and imminent
risk of death in getting to London,
there is the possibility of the aero
plane, the wireless, the wires, the
corruption of censor, the thousand
ether media through which news
might be secured in advance of the
general knowledge of events. 1t is a
possibility that cannot but appeal to
the cupidity and the enterprise of
adventurous men, as it must to the
imagination of the writer of alluring
fiction.
The censorship has its very real
dangers, in such a time as this, as
well as its military advantages.

COTTONS|TUAT|ON
MARKET REPORT
Crop CONDITIONS STILL BACK
WARD BUT ON THE WHOLE,
SHOW IMPROVEMENT.
CBy Henry Clews & Coz

The market during the week has
been under the influence of conflict
ing factors, which naturally tended
toward an irregular price movement.
Early weakness IN the new crop op-
tions gave way later to strength on
insistent complaints of boil weeyll
infestation in Texas, coupled with
reports of continuation Of hot, dry
weather in Arkansas and throughout
the central and eastern portions of
the belt, including South Carolina.
So far as weather is concerned, not
withstanding advices to the contrary,
the developments of the week have
been favorable with perhaps one OK
ceptiOn - Arkansas. Clear, warm
weather has prevailed over the great
er part of the southwest and the
general run of Texas reports indicate
rapid improvement in the situation
in that state. one correspondent
says the fields are being rapidly clear
ed of weeds and grass, that plants
look healthy and are growing like
magic, that replanting where neces-
sary is being pushed with feverish
haste and that provided there is a
late frost date, the chances are in ia
vor of a good-sized crop. AS suggest
ed in these adyices, it was unreasOn-
able to assume that the Texas stu
alton was beyond repair Mention has
already been made of similar wet
conditions in 1900, Notwithstanding
which there was good harvest of
cotton, and we also find by referring
to the files of 1908 that like condi-
tions to those this year prevailed
then and yet cotton planted as late
as June 19 made three-quarters Of
a bale to the acre. There is no ques.
ton, however, that the baciwardness
OF the season is a handclp and as
result the crop in Texas will be
practically on the defensive during
the whole growing season. Much
more encouraging than the optimistic
news that the drought had been brok.
en- in the Carolinas-the last spot
in the eastern section which had been
suffering for rain. Although in some
sections where needed, rbins have
not been extensive, the fact remains
that moisture has fallen, and even
though temperatures continue high
conditions show improvement over
those of week ago. So far as the
Delta is concerned prospects are bril-
liant and planters in that section are
enthusiastic over the promise. On
the whole il would appear as If the
recent popular pessimistic sentiment
was founded on exaggerated opinions
of crop damage, and that with any.
thing like normal growing conditions
for the balance of the season salts
factory harvest may be anticipated.
This is apparently the opinion in con
scrvatiye trade quarters. There is at
the moment no intention on the part
OF cOnverters to enter the market
at the current level of values. Accord

slain in St Nicholas graveyard last
February, was the same man. The
chief had four weak-minded. but
supposedly harmless members of the
Austrian colony brought in and ques-
toned this morning. He questioned
these four men last winter before
they arrested Tony PetTas for the Hol-
lander girls murder.
