loors closed SO long against the out
ide world, through the bitterness OF
Ter unrest, gradually opened them
% the plague of bolshevism, which
.ouches the Pacific Bladivostok.
The Oriental country Of India, the
home Of the Hindu, has long been un-
der the control of Great Britain
England has done her utmost for the
Hindu in developing his lands an"
encouraging his industry. He has
been blind to her good intention ana
sought to break her power. He Is
beginning to see her purpose and pos
sibly in the next decade will become
fully imbued with her spirit Of de-
mocracy.
We now pass to Mexico, the coun-
try so near cur own border. Her
people are ignorant, and filled with
the spirit of revolution, inherited
from their forefathers. During the
war they formed an alliance with
Germany for the overthrow OF the
United States. They are constantly
trying to overthrow the skeleton OF
government which they have. Even
in the last few days, Carranza has
been forced to fee from the capital.
In Ireland, the English rule has
been thorn in the flesh since thu
foundation Of the British empire.
England has changed her method OF
governing her, but she Is still In a
state Of turmoil. The wound Is no.
healed.
Indeed, in all the countries we
have noted, in widely different parts
of the globe, there is some form of
unrest. When we stop to ponder the
outcome, we may say with Kingsley
How can man draw a picture Of
that which has no shape; or tell the
order Of absolute disorder
Upon careful analysis unrest means
despotism. 1t may be despotism OF
business, of religion, Of government
But after all, il the leaven Of de-
mocracy which leaveneth the whole
lump. Left to it's own course it may
mean destruction, but wisely guided
it will mean the perfect state may
come.
These movements are like the PEN
dulum, held back from equilibrium
and allowed to swing. But like the
pendulum, when their inertia is spent
they will swing back and finally come
to rest in a state Of equilibrium
that state in which all men have
their freedom governed only by the
powerful principles of democracy

Nineteen centuries ago to a little
church in Asia Minor was written
great message little leaven leav'
epths the whole lump Through the
months and the years it has grown
more grandly true. The first men VINO
died for freedom of worship were fol-
lowed by men who died for freedom
Of state--the right of every man to
think and know and love.
The spirit Of democracy, the desire
for freedom has always found Its
place in the hearts Of the oppressed
Conversely, the spirit Of autocracy'
CT despotism has in most all cases
possessed those in power. Conse'
euently, history's pages record num-
erous instances of friction between
the king and his subject.
Seventeen centuries ago, Rome
driven by a hated despotism masquar-
aiding as republic, threw off the
yoke and built an empire, which, were
it alive today, would still be the
greatest in the world. The fair JUS
tee of the first Caesars bound the
east and the west together, with ties
which only despotism could break !.
The leayen of democracy in the Rom
en- empire moved the great lump OF
civilization from the Atlantic to the
Euphrates, from Britain to the Sa-
hara desert.
Thence we pass to the year 1883
During that time France was drench
Cd with blood and all Europe was
shaken by revolution. The year 1S4s
was the year Of greatest unrest d
all time before today.
It is an old platitude that history
repeats itself 1t is more accurate t.

Retail prices Of vegetables are sonss.-
what lower this week, but the drop
is not in proportion to the decrease
in wholesale prices.
The onion market continued to SLUMP
yesterday, receivers getting from 80
cents to 81 crate Of forty-fve pounds
for seconds and s1.25 for top grade
Retailers paid an average of 80 cents
crate 1.-TWO cents 8 pound), but in
Washington Market and other stands
the price to consumers ranged from
8 cents to 10 cents.
Best onions, in the opinion Of mer.
chants in touch with the local situs
tion, should be retailing at about five
cents pound. The New York market
is badly overstocked, due largely to s
bumper Texas crop.
Two hundred and fifteen carloads
OF new potatoes reached New Yors
over the weekend. and drop in the
market was looked for, but wholesah
prices remained firm at from $l2 to
$13 a barrel Of $50 pounds. This was
due, it is believed, to heavy buying 70

Materials
Scarce; Little Buying NOsO

> Despite the scarcity Of cotton shirt
materials the largest shirt makers of
the country are not anticipating their
spring needs, according to one of the
largest -converters of such goods. Gray
or unfinished dolby shirtings, it is as
serted, are completely sold up by the
two largest producers in the country
until next November.
In finished shirtings it is estimated
that the small manufacturers have
ordered about 80 per cent of their
normal yardage for next spring, while
some Of the largest shirt makers are
still holding out Of the market. One
manufacturer who normally has
placed orders for about $2,ooo,ooo
worth Of goods by this time, has not
purchased a single yard of material
for, next sprng, it is said.
The attitude of the big shirt manu-
facturers is CALLING to the cloth
sellers, who assert that prices cannot
decline. Several of them have an
nounced their intention of accepting
recorders from the early buyers to the
exclusion of the late buyers if de-
mand suddenly springs up.

SH.KS-R0,c Market
Weukens: Little Activitv

The raw silk market continues to
show price weakness. and cables from
Yokohama yesterday recorded a new
low level Of 1900 yen for Sinshiu No.
l. For week the market in Japan has
been declining steadily, but normal
quotations here have not followed the
drop SO closely. Local importers and
dealers are inclined to ask for bids
rather than to make actual quotations.
1t has been reported that Kansai double
extra. the highest grade Japanese raw
silk, sold as low as $3.50 a pound, while
q sale of Sinshiu No. i, the lower grade,
was reported at s6.15. The wide di-
vergence in price Of the top and bot
tom grades is strongly contrasted with
the fall of 1917, when Sinshiu No. l
was quoted at $6.15 and Kansai. double
extra at $6.75.
The dullness in the silk goods trade
and the lack Of stability in the raw
market are leading manufacturers to
hold off still further in replenishing
raw stocks. More silk mills are re-
ported to be going to shortened work
ing schedules.

Effort Made to Check
Break in Whent Price

Further weakness featured the wheat
market yesterday, with a decline of 10
cents registered at Minneapolis. Only
a little export interest was reported.
and bids of SO for straight No. 2 at the
Gulf were regarded as an effort to
check the break in prices. A railroad
report said that harvesting in southern
Oklahoma will begin June 15, in south
ern Kansas June Is and in western
Kansas and southern Colorado July Is.
The harvest is already on in central
Texas, with small yields reported. An
official report on the French crop made
winter wheat condition 7s, against SO
last year; and spring wheat 78, against
62, with an acreage increase of about
5 per cent.
The visible supply decreased 1,842,-
900 bushels for the week, TIE total now
being 35,259,000 bushels. A Western
house estimated that the carry over by
the government millers and farmers
is probably 150, 900, 900 bushels, and with
the minimum yield of 100000 900
bushels, the country would have $780,
100000 bushels to spare for export,
after providing for home consumption,
seeding and moderate carry-over.

Weather Improves
Indication of Better Crop
Reports in South Causes
Lower Quotations; Ar
,gentine Imports Reported

Quotations for cotton, wheat and
corn were again lower yesterday, the
near months in cotton breaking about
30 points. Better weather conditions
were believed to be responsible for the
lack Of demand. Corn was decidedly
weak in the afternoon on reports of
large importations from Argentina.
Wheat trading was featured by general
weakness, drop of 10 cents being re-
ported in Minneapolis.
Improved weather in the South. COM
bined with the failure of last weeks
bullish crop report to create a more
general demand, appeared to be re-
sponsible for the weakness of new crop
months in the cotton market YESTERDAY
Old crop positions were relatively quiet
and steady, closing 4 or points above
the final quotations of Saturday, but
the new crop broke about half q cent
from Saturdays inal figures, closing
barely steady at net declines of 40 to
81 points.
The market opened easy at an ad-
vance OF lo points on July, which was
Influenced by. relatively firm cables,
deliveries. July sold off right after
the call, but there was trade buyine
OF that position against spinners' CALI
ing and the price soon steadied. This
helped the later months, which. after
selling about 40 points lower. rallied
70 or 80 points, but demand failed to
improve, and the market weakened
again in the late trading. New Orleans
and local traders were said to be the
chief sellers on the break which car
RED october contracts off to 1852, or
more than a cent from the best level
touched since the publication of the
government bureau.
Private cables attributed the rela-
lively firm showing of Liverpool to
continental and trade buying and said
there had been some improvement in
the tone Of goods at Mancheste This
followed the publication of rather de-
pressing. reviews of the last week in
Lancashire market, and did not seem
to inspire much trading interest around
the local ring. Private crop advices from
the South showed no Improvement, but
this is expected to come later if the
weather continues favorable, and The
tendency to sell on better weather con-
dltlons was promoted by the absence
OF any general trade demand and re-
ports of an unsettled goods market
Southern spot markets as officially re-
ported were so points lower to 25 points
higher, with Southwestern markets rel
ativcly easy
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and unchanged at 40 cents for
middling upland; no sales were re-
ported.
