REAR NEWS IN THE SOUTH

Continuance Of the Indifferent trad
Ing in the cotton market was noted yes
,.,aay. the range OF values being ex-
..odi,riy small. Aggressiveness was
,,,irsly absent. Some bearish discus
.o, was heard relative to the spot
~.l,uatIon at Liverpool and to the gener-
aiy satisfactory climatic conditions. but
q, vas evident that the trade was UNI

~ ina, ordinary news factors were
aayins no effect for the present. Thus
,ha Census Bureau report received only
,n,id consideration. In most quarters
49, tendency was to await political IND
crop developments.
Thsre seemed to he a feeling that
r,siand might sooner or later permit
cotton shipments into Germany. IL Is
sssnmed that such a change nay be
bought about as a result OF the latest
American note to Germany, the dis
ABSTRACTION OF our exporters with cot
,on affairs and the inclination of Ger
many TO alter her naval policy. Where
o~nnions were ventured II was thought
mat a hasty resumption of shipments

consumption Of cotton, exclusive Of lin
tiers. during May of $4,000 bales.
AGAINST $4,000 a year ago. During
April the consumption was $4,000
bales Quite a little attention was again
attracted to the usage OF linters during
n. past month, the total being given at
$4,000 bales. compared with $4,000 bales
IN May last year. Since August 1 the
cotton consumption has been 4,ss1. 900
bales, against 4.es0.o00 q year ago.
linters included. Stocks In private ware
houses remain liberal at 2.44l. 900.
against $4,000 a year ago. while the
actual amount in manufacturers hands
was $4,000 bales. against 1857. 900 at
the corresponding period in 1914. Ex-
ports should pass the 100000 mark
this week.
The ~supposition Is that spinning in
teres,s will moi buy freely OF cotton
until a change for the worse occurs In
the crop outlook or a transition for the
better in the political situation. Incl
den,ally. a majority of the private
Southern reports agree hat the absorb
ton Of actual cotton Is very slow. but IL
IS significant that the holders are not
granting concessions. which doubtless
reflects in part the widely scattered
holdings OF cotton.
Showery conditions were not noted
yesterday in the Gulf States and there
were also light scattered rains in the
Atlantic belt. The precipitation In
Texas and Oklahoma was inconsequen-
tal. II Is apparent that weather con-
ditions are not OF entire satisfaction.

orders received yesterday for interests

Not the End Of Wars.
From the NAVY

1t would be idle to expect that the next
so, 100 or SEQ years would materially change
the nature of The human race. In fact.
1t is much more reasonable to assume
that when the scientific Knowledge which
has been discovered by the white race has
been assimilated by the peoples of Asia
and Africa. who have not had the advan-
tage of the culture accompanying that
scientific development. but who will be
able to use for their own ends the highly
developed modern offensive weapons,
here will be an attack made by those
races upon the white civilization. and if
he white race has not by that time de-
leriorated so as to be unable to offer eff
'ectllal resistance to their attacks. there
Will be a series of wars of such tremen-
@ouS extent that the wars which have
been fought previously will appear in
significant.
In the past rivers and mountain have
'ormed barriers. so that it was difficult
or tribes or alliances of neighboring
itories, but the rivers and fountains are
- longer insurmountable obstacles. The
eeans alone, at the present time. furnish
N obstacle to the transportation of large
rnies: but # the past so wears is a cri-
orion of what is coming within the next
century,, the oceans will present no more
difficulties to invading forces than did the
ARROW Tiber in Italy to the enemies OF
tome at the opening CT Roman history.
When .Afro-Eurasia has passed under
he domination of The final winner and its
low undeveloped peoples have assimilated
he wal science of the mCuern world. then
Will come the test of the new worlds
