NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 37.-New crop
matters in the earliest producing section
of south Texas are certainly showing
lateness In other Years by. this time
we heard of cotton being planted and
some up. Only two days ago there was
freezing weather down to Brownsville
and to-day's map shows another spell
of bad weather for the belt. Factors
here say preparations and corn plant
ing are being delayed.
Our market was quiet but steady
around last nights closing figures. No
feature to the trading. The market is
still waiting for some decisive move in
New York on the basis of the disparity
between futures and spot prices. Sta
tistics show a decidedly bullish trend,
The steady decrease in interior receipts
is quite pronounced al many points and
the loss in stock is good deal larger
than last year.
Mill takings this week may be lit
tie less than last year when they were
exceptionally large, but this is the last
week of large mill takings last year and
decidedly bullish comparisons are likely
from now on. as exports are constantly
larger than last year.

Indian Policy.

A definite, constructive policy for
the Indian, by which he may be trans
formed from a ward of the govern
ment to a successful and integral
part of the American citizenry; dis
cussion of the development of the
West and a review of the achieve
ments of the last year, are contained
in the annual report of Secretary
Franklin X. Lane, of the Interior
Department, sent to President Will
son. "Three things" says Secretary
Lane, ''of unusual purport have
marked the life of this department
during the past year-the passing of
the Cherokee Nation, the opening of
Alaska, and the advancement of a
series of measures aimed to promote
the further development of'the West.
These things are apparently unre-
lated, yet they have made an appeal
TO me as alike illustrative of the
newness of our country, the novelty
of its problems, and the responsive
ness of our government"
Secretary Lane discusses the In
dian problem at length and asks
whether SIT is for the benefit of the
Indian himself that the present aims
house policy should continue.
