MARCH OF WESTERN
METHODS IN CHINA
Where street Railways and
Electric Light Plants
Have Been Built.
USE AMERICAN MACHINERY
Development Of Interior De-
ponds on Establishment Of
Strong Government.

WASHINGTON, Feb Until ten years
ago the street railway and electric light
were practically unknown in China. Prior
to 1900 all Western innovations were
looked upon with dsfavor, but following
the "BoNer' outbreak of 1909 the reform
element gained In strength. and the revo-
luton of 1911 left the Government In the
hands of men. a majority OF whom have
been educated in America and Europe,
who are In favor Of introducing and ex-
tending all branches of Western civiliza-
ton.
However. most OF the desired innova-
lions especially those OF machinery and
transportation facilities. can come only as
fast Az the Chinese can pay for them.
Railways may be built with foreign cap
ital. but they cannot be extended or sue
Cessfully operated unless the people OF
the territory they traverse have goods to
be transported and money with which TO
travel. Likewise. the Chinese manufac-
turer cannot AFFORD tn Increase his pro-
duction by the Use OF Western machinery
until he has a larger market
II Is difficult for one who has not seen
something of the vast interior OF China TO
realize the condition of the country. For
centuries there has been no opportunity
for the accumulation Of capital by the
people az "A whole. The foundations OF
many American fortunes were laid In the
forests OF Maine and Minnesota. or In the
mines of Pennsylvania and Michigan but
the forests of China disappeared in forgot
ten centuries. and its mines have not been
developed. Even the farmer could accu-
mulate nothing. for his land was small and
far from rich. his family large. and the
exactons Of the tax collector heavy. Fur
thermore. his market was extremely lin
tied by lack OF means of transportation,
by likin duties and by intervillage fcuds
and brigandage.

continue at the opening yesterday mainly
because Of Livcrpools very disappointing
response to II. The foreign market was
due to open TO points higher but In
stead started l To points higher and
closed barely steady unchanged to ~

small margin OF Fridays low levels, but
lust before the close the tone frmed up
a little under short covering Final prices
were 3 90 . points net lower In the active
positions.
cotton values moved into new low
ground In the last week ON continued
liquidation ~ hull accounts. There were
several factors that prompted speculative
holders 60 sell. not the least of which was
the failure Of the grade revision commit
tee t. increase low grade penalties at its
meeting held after the close of the mar
ket on Wednesday, The direct result Of
this meeting was heavytselling OF March
contracts by local spot people. who had
acquired considerable lines Of that dCliv-
cry IN the hope that the lower grades
would b. NOR" highly taxed.
Early In the week sentiment turned
moro hearish on reports OF n lesscued de-
mand for spots In the South. The easier
tendency of quotations confirmed these
advicoS. and 1t was admitted by spot
dealers that the demand for low grades
had fallen off SHARPLY
The heavy movement was also the basis
of much bear talk and upward revision OF
crop estimates. Not few now believe
the total harvest will run close to 10000
600 bales; and despite the fact that
larger than average percentage OF the
crop may be of an unspinnable character
the weight OF the bales initiates against
successful bullish operations.
Spo, cotton was unchanged. Middling
