RACIAL BLENDINGS IN SYRIA
SO Many Nations Have overrun the
Country That No One Race Can
Claim Pre-en,inonce.

Syria, the region extending from the
Taurus mountains to Egypt and from
the desert to "the great sea," IS the
land of the patriarchs and prophets
and apostles-"the Holy Land" Its
population numbers about three and
one-half million Of Semitic origin,
speaking the Arabic language, ana yet
with so many races intermlngleu
through the centuries of the various
conouests and occupations that the
people cannot claim any one race as
their own. Greek, Roman and Euro
pean crusader, all have blended with
the acient Semitic stock to produce the
Syrians of today.
In Syria was the one green spot
of Turkey-the Lebanon mountains. In
1850, because Of the massacres, the
European powers insisted that these
mountains be made autonomous. And
since that date this little district has
been q living demonstration OF what
the people Of the land are capable OF
becoming.
The steep mountain sides have been
terraced to height Of 1900 feet ana
planted to olives, figs and vines. Taxes
have been low, safety to person and
property secured, good roads built and
kept in repair. The people have con-
structed more comfortable homes ana
have sent their sons to schools and col
leges.
The story of the achievements OF
the Lebanon and it's sons during these
go years of autoDomy would be thrill
ing narrative in itself.

COTTON TRADING &
IS MORE ACTIVE
Prices After Opening Show an
Easier Tone Throughout
the Session.
MARKET IS FEATURE1ESS
Close Is Irregular, With Final
Figures at "a to ~ Points
Under Previous Finish.

The cotton market was moro active
yesterday and with the exception OF one
short stretch Of steadiness, following the
first call. displayed an easier tone
throughout the session. Influential FAC
tors were few among the most prom
inent for the bear elements being the
clearer cotton belt weather and the
slackening In export shipments from
American ports. Bulls continued to dis
cuss the animated and firm cotton goods
markets here and abroad.
In the Eastern belt the weather was
fair, but for Georgia the official fore
cast indicated thundershowers. Western
States were also somewhat clearer al
though Texas is still getting far too
much precipitation than Is necessary for
satisfactory growth Of crop. Some To-
cal wire houses were in receipt OF tele-
grams telling that conditions In the Lone
Star State were unfavorable to the ex-
treme for cotton. Few persons in the
trade yesterday would dispute the state
ment that unless dry spoil was soon
had in Texas, only a short crop was to
be expected.
Liverpool gave early signs OF strength
and was the cause of an early slight rise
here, but in later transactions took q
highly erratic course. closing barely
pathy with local price fluctuations The
decline yesterday may be attributed
mainly to Wall Street pressure plus
some orders to sell from Southern
houses. Exports of only seventy-sis
bales were not in the least encouraging
and neither were money conditions al
though they showed decided bettermen'
from what they had been.
The market itself was featureless. q

CORN MARKET HAS
IRREGULAR TONE
Trading Is Active and Prices
Fluctuate Freely Under
Profit Taking.
LITTLE CHANGE IN OATS
Provisions Arc Weak as Result
Of Break in Hogs and More
Liquidation.

The corn market displayed an irregu-
lar tone in active trading yesterday.
Prices fuctuated rather freely with profit
taking the feature. The opening was
easier. with n further decline after the
first hour. but prices reacted, and In the
afternoon touched or were near to Mon
DAVIS close. Further realizing sales,
however. and rumors that the Argentine
strike had been settled. caused a selling
movement. bringing tho futures near
this mornings opening. Sentiment at
the outset was bearish, but later be-
came mixed with the firm tone OF the
cash market. There was a feeling among
the trade that tho market was over
bought and In n poor technical position
after tho rapid advance In the last week.
The market has gained 10 points since
the start Of the bull movement in corn.
One Of the most important factors in
the early 6ocilno was the drop of IS
points in hogs. Trading was the quietest
during the second hour. when prices
sold at the lowest point of the day, re-
ceding q. 10 rs cents.
Shorts began to cover after the noon
hour, but when they went to buy found
a scarcity o. offerings. and, with the
commission house buying. the market
became stronger. regaining most of the
early losses After this rally a rumor
was circulated that the Argentine strike.
which has been holding up the shipments
OF grain from that country. was settled.
This with more realizing sales, i'm
mediately started a selling movement.
which continued up to the close. Weather
conditions were favorable for. the new
crop. While the receipts were light.
there were expectations OF larger
movement In view OF the high prices
Oats opened easies in sympathy with
corn, and followed that grain during the
day. closing around the opening figures.
While many complaints of the new crop
were received. no serious damage has
been reported. Inglis in his report yes
terday said that he had found red leaf
prevalent In the Middle West, but It Is
TOO early TO estimate its III effects. The
cash demand was slow. Provisions were
weak, influenced by the break in hogs
and further liquidation.

kets follow:
