R. ID. Burgers Letters

Naw Orleans June 1.-The market was lower today, depressed owing to business being restricted as result of the nation wide telegraphers' strike, which went in- to effect this morning.
 The Western Union, however. appears to be handling business with the interior without much delay, and unless the strike spreads, it will probably be possible to carry on business in fairly satisfactory manner.
 Were it not for the strike it is likely the market would be much higher, as the weekly government crop report was not encouraging, for while favorable progress was made in the eastern half of the belt the past week, west of the Misslsslppl river except in portions of Lou1sinia' Arkansas and Texas, conditions are gen orally poor.
 Meanwhile unsettled weather continues in the interior, showery with prospects for more rain in nearly all districts of the belt.
 At this time last year the crop was making favorable progress, having i'm proved s5 points during June whereas this year private advices are to the erect that further deterioration Of 5o points have occurred since returns were ihaue | to the bureau.
 Tn other words the June bureau of last year was S2S and the July bureau was S5.S. This year the June bureau was io'o and unless the weather improves, tne JuIy bureau is apt to be lower than l. was this month.
 Returns to the National Ginners asso- ciation average the condition of the grow ing crop at only 70, and indicate that the May consumption in the United states was 4s4,ooo bales against 57e.o0o TOT May of last year, liuters excluded. l The trade is not paving much atteh- ! ton to consumption of the past, peins l more concerned in prospects for IutuIe consumption and the outlook Tor the iio /" " crop. as the world will likely requlre larre crop for next season when the de- wand for cotton and cotton goods IS eN pected to be the largest in the history of the trade, as result of the return oi peace Hand & Beer.

trading by the wire strike and also by
 the rather general conviction that the
 advance from the low levels of last Sat-
 urday had about spent itself.
 The wire trouble, now general over the
 country, stimulated bearish feeling and
 again, the weekly crop report from the
 government was not as unfavorable as
 expected.
 Spot markets of the south were quite generally lower and no great activity was reported anywhere in the actual stuff
 Opening at the decline, in the face of a good Liverpool and some little rain on the weather map, the market fell off for losses of 4S to 30 points. A little later there were recoveries of 20 to 60 points, l but the market soon quieted down into a small affair with narrow price changes. 1 An easy undertone prevailed during the 1 greater part of the session, although late | in the day July recovered to practically | the level of yesterdays close. | The weekly reports made it plain that the crop is progressing reasonably we'll except in some portions of the western 1 belt.
 | With the wire strike to contend with, l it looks as if the market will continue to 1 have a lower trend.

sand years ago, and was as weak as
water; while Russia was greatly handi-
capped in its war with Japan by the dis
lance needed to transport military sup
plies. Japan, Mr.. Smith finds, therefore,
is no exception to the law Of blood, and
he is sure that country, owing to its lack
of infusion and expansion, will never have
the youthful vigor" to enable it to wage
successful war against the United States.
The law Of blood brings bad news for
ireland. "The Irish, with practically the
same Celtic stock for two thousand years,
have been held in subsection by the many
times amalgamated British'-and the
chances are they will continue so to be
held until the prophecies of Daniel are
fulfilled and there is federation of the
world. Perhaps in Mexico and Peru Mr..
Smith finds the law of blood working most
admirably. He says:
"The Aztecs conquered the older peo-
pies they found in Mexico. Upon the es-
Establishment of their sway in 1875 A. D.,
in what is now the City of Mexico, they
celebrated the festival of tying up the
bundle of years and beginning new
cycle. Amalgamation resulted. After ex-
actly three centuries had gone by they
expanded into great empire which ex-
tended from Panama to California. They
had reached their zenith and were ready
for their fall when the Spaniards ar
rived"

There is much to make America cocky
in Mr.. Smiths book, and confident of to-
morrow. But, on the other hand, there is
a good deal to perplex us. How, for
example, can we oppose Japan's demand
for Shantung, or annexatiOns generality
In asking for Shantung is Japan not full
filling her destiny and acting in accord
with the law of blood, which requires in
fusion and expansion? And ARTICLE X.,"
subscribing to a status quo and guaran-
teeing territorial integrity, is this not fly
ing in the face, if not Of Providence, at
least of Daniel and the law Of blood?
Surely it can be accepted only with the
reservation that it shall not stand in the
way of scientific working of the law of
blood. For it is the fate Of nations ap-
parently to swallow and in turn be swal-
lowed, to annex and be annexed.
Mr.. Smith, it may be surmised, recog-
nizes not only the inevitability of wars
but believes in war, and eclipses Bern
hardi himself in extolling its benefits and
virtues. st. Augustine is quoted with
approval, that war is the transition from
lower to higher state Of civilization.
