Over Private Wires
Over W. I. Pheits & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, July 11.-Belief that the market would shortly be on a peace basis put the price of cotton strongly higher today after slump in the early trading. The ,propelling force on the long side was the statement from Wash ington that trade relations were to be resumed with Germany at once.
 The opening was lower and the decline continued until it amounted to 48 to b5 points, Better weather and crop condi- tions in the belt and the marine strike in this country threatening to tie up al shipping along the gulf and Atlantic coasts were the main reasons back of the selling. A quick change followed the first rumors from Washington of a change in the relations with Germany. the decline was recovered and the mar ket sent to net advance which late in the day amounted to 50 to n points
 The national ginners' association came out with a semi-monthly condition re- port of 72, a gain of 1.3 points for the last fortnight. Many traders continue to talk about reaction but the sentiment of the marke is very bullish
 Late in the day the advances amounted to 84 to SS points, The close was 67 to SS points up net. Shepard & Gluck.

Shannon & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 11.-Prices broke sharply during the early trading on heavy selling that was interpreId as liquidation by western and Wall street longs on the improvement shown. but the condition figures of the National Gin ners' with local traders also selling for a turn. When shorts. however. turned to cover on reports of rather high tenn peratures in Oklahoma, where IS stations showed from 100 to 1o5 degrees, they found nothing offering and the early loss was more than recovered before they could get their cotton back as 1t had gone to Liverpool and trade houses who need it in their business.
 Exports today were 55,0oo and 1t saio that the figures will continue large. The ease with which the market gets over sold is we'll shown by the trading today and supplies the best evidence possible of the danger of being short for more than a quick turn if ever for that. Post & F1agg.

 New York, July 1.-The local market for raw sugar was unchanged at 7.2s for Centrifugal to the refiner
 There was no change in refined with business limited on account of the in- ability of refiners to handle all orders presented They are all oversold and only two are accepting any business at all. Prices are unchanged at Sc for fine granulated. It is reported that Germany was in the market here for 100000 tons of refined. but as refiners are not &C., cepting any fresh export business, these inquiries were without results.

The Rough Road, by William J. Locke.
OF course it is no unusual incident for
Locke novel to be o chest seller" for
every piece Of fiction he has written since
The Morals of Marcus Ordey~e, has
reached that desired position, but The
Rough Rood has not only outsold any
previous Locke novel, with perhaps the
exception Of The: Beloved Vdsabend, but
ii has now been; on the market for eight
months and It continues to be one Of the
most popular sellers on our list. II is
not difficult to tell why, however, as it
has all the essential qualities that make a
story popuIar-the right mixture Of TO
nance, adventure and timeliness of theme.
Of the books published by us m the
last twelve months, one which In our es
timation has, for a book of unusual
merit, been too little appreciated both by
reviewers and the public is Totoards
Morning, by Ida A. r. Wylie. THE Sun
was one Of the few high class nevspa-
pers to appreciate this novel at its true
value and the failure Of some Of the best
literary critics to rise to this book was
not only surprising but disheartening- In
spite Of this, however, there has been
steady growing demand for To.eards
Morning, which shows it is winning its
way through sheer merit. The main draw
back for its not being sensational sue
cess, as far as can see, is that somehow
the feeling against anything to do with
Germany has been so intense that, clever
as the book is, it could not overcome that
prejudice.
OF the books published by us In the last
twelve months I am afraid can say none
Of ours upset "trade precedents."
Those dealing with affairs Of the hour
sold well and those Of permanent inter
est have continued to sell. The most no
ticeabie change in the taste Of the read
ing public since the signing Of the, armi-
stice has been the return to popularity Of
Stephen Leacock's books. During our
participation in the war the demand for
these books decreased noticeably over
here, while in England during the war
Leacocks popularity trebled Just as
soon as the fighting stopped, however,
people here seemed to turn to the popular
type Of literature and Leacock's books
are now in greater demand than ever.

THE EDITORS OBSERVATIONS
(By John L. Thompscn.)

From Kirksville, Missouri up into
grand old Iowa, the finest of ten thou
sands, the brightest star in the galexy
Of the American union. Iowa the home
Of 100000 people prospering upon her
nch undulating drift soil, the greatest
agricultural state in the union and the
richest. She was the first state in the
union to wipe from the statute book
the obnoxious black laws. We had only
travelled few miles in Iowa until we
had heard the almost forgotten ting
ting fand saw the electric street cars,
. sound and a sight that we had not
seen while travelling in Missouri for
more than two weeks. OF course Mis-
souri, will never have electric street
cars now since automobiles and aerial
ti1rp Wi h the airshib " l be sbel
we only have about $4,000 colored popu-
lation and our state is capable of offer
ing and keeping hundred thousand of
good honest, Industrious colored people,
who want to farm. There are still a
few opportunities left. Our first stop
was in Carney, Polk county, Iowa, a
little mining camp of about 500 people
Of which nearly one-half are colored
and most of them have bought few
acres near this town and are farming
it. They are doing well. They habe
hogs, cattle, chickens, ducks, turkeys
and geese and they own several hun
dred acres Of Iowa land that cost them
from 5000 to $500 per acre and now
some of it is worth from $500 to $1,000
per acre.
Our next stop was in Centerville,
Iowa, county seat of Appanoose county,
where lives about 500 colored people,
most of them are miners as this is a
great mining community. Mr.. Richard
Good is one Of the pioneers and highly
respected citizens; another one is w.
Fl. Tompkins, who owns valuable prop
erty. Mr.. Ceory Noah is doing well.
He has recently built a beautiful stucco
house. Mr.. B. B. Baker is doing well.
G j. Reed is still here; also Fl. A. White.
Henry johnson is one Of the reliable
citizens, who stands for something in
this community. Mrs. A. L. Crittenden
is still the Bystander reporter. She is
the best reporter that Centerville ever
had. We next stopped in Buxton, the
far famed Negro metropolis Of Iowa at
one time, but now as the great coal
mines becomes worked out the people
have left here by the hundreds seeking
