New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, July 16.-Rains in Texas and Oklahoma created a wave of selling in the cotton market here today under which nrices fell 57 to 79 points in the first half hour of business. The tone was weak eta m business. Theton con the opening was weak and the market had little or no support from any source. For eign political news had an unsettling effect.
 The decline on the active months was widened to 75 to so points but toward noon steadier feeling and increased demand developed. Prices recovered upartially and stood 57 to 61 points under Saturdays finals.
 Claims that the drvest sections of Texas had not received rains needed steadied the market in the afternoon. At 1:30 prices showed net loss of 50 to 58 points.
 The cotton market closed barely steady at net decline of 77 to S1 points.

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, July 16.-Corn prices aV- eraged higher today, influenced by weather conditions unfavorable to growth Fears were expressed that the crop as a whole was already sr late that chances of damage from early autumn frosts has been greatly enlarged. On the other hand, ru- mored peace talk h;ndered aggres- siveness on the part of the bulls. Opening prices,s which ranged from the same as Saturdays finish to 3-4 higher, with September at s1.59k to s1.6O and December at $1.12 IA to SLIP 3-4, were followed by material advance all around and then a reac- tion that wiped out most of the gains.
 Later the market hardened owing apparently to a decided falling off in the United States visible supply to- tai. The close was steady with July S2.05a and September $1.95R
 Assumptions that wheat will be brought under absolute governmental control kept trade in that cereal at minimum with prices showing no great changes. First transaction var fed from halt cent decline to 1c ad- vance with July at $2 o5 and 6eptem- ber $1.95.

We are pleased to see in the
announcement Of land sales for
June by the state land commission
that a list Of all tracts exceeding
TAO acres is given. We hope this
practice will be continued. While
we approve Of this action on the
part of the land commissioner we
certainly disaprove of a law that
permits the sales Of this lands in
tracts as large as 1900 acres
which was oneof the tracts sold
in June. We believe some method
more in keeping with modern
thot should be put in practice in
the disposition Of our public lands
belongingt to the state. = Farming

We read in some papers that
a charge of desertion or worse
will be laid up against all drafted
men who fail to report to the
Exemption Board. This is drastic
but necessary in some cases, but
There are some cases where
common sense dictates different
methods. We have in mind a
man whois crippled in the feet,
and walks with the greatest diff
iculty. He assures us he could go
to Mora only by walking as he
has not the money to pay his way.
He is physically unfit for soldier
ing but a usefulman in his sphere
Should he be shot as a deserter
because he cant get to the Board
of examiners?--- Nonsense,

Some Graft

The two Republican members
of the state boundary commission,
Judge Frank w, Parker and
Eufracio Gallegos, voted a reso-
luton employing Frank w. Clancy
former attorney general, and O..
A. Larrazolo, of Las Vegas, as
special counsel to act together in
the prosecution of the New Mex
ico- Texas boundary suit and the
investigation of the New Mexico
Colorado boundary question, Clan
cy to receive $40, 900 for his SER
vice and Larrazolo 81, 500.
James G. Fitch, of Socorro, the
Democratic member of the COM
mission, After the adoption of
the resolution employing Larrazolo
as we'll as Clancy. went to the
executive office and rendered to
Governor Lindsey his resignation
as memberof the boundary com
mission.
What could adecent democrat
do but resign from such a board!
The republican Legislature, you
will remember tried to vote this
pension to Larrizolo but it was
so raw that even a N. M. Legis,
lature couldn't swallow it 50 it
was left to men who could stom'
ach it to allow the graft.
The facts in the case are thai
these boundary strips. are not
worth to New Mexico half the
amount that this commission is
allowing in the attorney fees tC
Republican lawyers. and there is
nothing for the lawyers to dc
that the Attorney General car
not and is not willing to do with
out any cost to the State. The
fees paid to Clancy and Larrizolc
lin this affair is merely political
sop given gratuitously to Repub-
lican politicians. If you oppose
this kind of Graft wake up anC
put New Mexico in the hands o1
a party not so proficient in Graft
This SIT, 10000 would go a Ions
way if judiciously applied to the
conservation Of crops and assist
ance of farmers who are of some
use to the state and nation.

The Conscription


Last Saturday manyof our boys
received notice to present them
selves at Mora for examination
by the Exemption board Of the
County. The notices were a sur
prise as we had assurance that
the Board would be sent here.
Another puzzle was that the men
notified were mot in many cases
the men who were understood to
be drawn and in many cases the
numbers were different from
those first issued. Citizens got
busy and wired Governor Lindsey
and in response received a mes
sage Monday that the Exemption
Board had been ordered to con-
vene at Roy and arrangements
made accordingly. This news
was disseminated SO that the
boys who had received notices
could leave off borrowing money
and arranging for their $500
trip to Mora and remain with the
threshing machine where they re
needed, until further notice.
Tuesday the board phoned over
that the first notices were can
celled and to await a second
notice. Attorney Reed, of Santa
Fe, also phoned that the County
Board had ''Balled up" the list
and that new notices would be
sent. Comparisons with the list
of numbers first sent out and the
numbers on the summons cards
showed many discrepancies and
this, with the obviously large
percent of numbers notified in
this end Of the county led to con-
lecture as to the why of it.
No one is objecting to taking his
fair chance in the drawing, but
many do object to the appearance
which the discrepancies in num-
bers seem to indicate. We are
satisfied that the Governor, who
is responsible for the County
Boards, will see that no discrimi-
nation or manipulation of num-
bers is allowed. and we trust the
errors in this county will be cor
rected and the shadow of suspi-
cion removed. Meanwhile we
will go on threshing wheat and
conserving our resourcesuntil the
Board comes to Roy to make their
selections and we trust all will be
ready for the event.
