$1.36 to $1.36B and July $1.33A to
s1.SS1a were followed by moderate re-
action.
owing to absence of aggressive buy
ing and to reports of better supply
of cars in some sections the market
eased down, especially May and July
deliveries. Prices closed heavy at the

Not much color was shown in the
cotton market today. although absence
Of weakness was encouraging to those
who are builish. Weather conditions in
the belt were better. although the eff
feet of the recent rains is still felt
and Il will take several days Of fair
weather to enable work to be resumed
in most sections The foreign exchange
market was also depressed and some
new low levels were recorded, but this
apparently was not given material i'm
portance by those who were In the
market. The early dip in prices was
perhaps predicated on these things, but
sellers acted with caution and along
about midday R rising tendency set in,
attributed to some hopes of results
from further efforts to get together in
Washington on peace ratification plans
after the conference had adjourned
without results achieved the market
was disposed to sag little, but not
much.

there was fairly good absorption of Of

points, fully middling to 2s.76d, with
sales 5000 bales, including $500 Amer
lean. Imports were 5000 bales, in
GLIDING 26,200 American.
First prices in the domestic markets
were off some, rejecting low eX-
change rates, better weather prospects
and anticipation of some reactionary
effects from the efforts to restrict ris-
ing costs through tighter money rates.
it was felt that the recent raising Of
federal reserve discount rates would
tend to do this, although not suddenly.
The stock market was dull and dis
posed to weaken a little. March in
New York opened at sec, a drop of rs
! points, but recovered part of this and
then sold off to $500 before support
ing orders came in. 1t was said that
professional sentiment was bullish for
the moment, while lack of easiness in
the spot markets discouraged sellers,
The market recovered part of the dip
but it was not until after noon that
the small wave of short covering sent
prices back to about the previous clos
ing level. Then came another resting
spell
But little spot news came, some ad-
vices being to the effect that low grades
were being wanted, while one wire
from Texas said that the basis was
easier and offerings not being taken
There was no evidence Of snap in the
market anywhere and most people were
disnosed to await developments.

Why Sugar Is Soaring
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Testimony entirely trustworthy places the re- sponsibity for the distressing condition of the market almost entirely at the door of the speculator Blame also attaches to certain share of the refin ing business for breaking faith with the majority and joining the profeers, who now hold the situa- ton their mercy unless there is some unfor seen governmental intervention
 These spectators, many of whom had been sugar business availed themselves of the opportunity of the refusal of the Government buy the Cuban crop and formed syndicates which took over what is virtually the pronounced majority of the supply of sugar The government is easily and loosely criticised by the politicians for buy that resounding at that time for the turning back of all industry to private hands
 When the refiners that the risk-taking spec uators had bottled up the raw they voted to stand pat it were, and refuse to function until the broken. Playing upon the cupidity of certain of this group, the holders of the material offered gratifying concessions, meaning u- timatey huge profits, and they succeeded in breaking the line Their sugars being refined and they have the consumer at their mercy. How safe they feel in their victory is and reflected by the stock markets where sugar securities fairly avat ing into the financial heavens
 Their daring in risking millions in the cornering process has had successful issue and the American people, some 120 900 900 in number who had noth- ing whatever to do with the game, will have to pay the gamblers their winnings.

through the additional business they divert to the Canadian railway lines
 However, there is occasion to legislate against the Canadian lines If the American lines want to and hold Alaskan business let them better the Canadian service. They have all the best of the opportunities. They have the advantage of the American freight and they have the interport busi- ness within Alaska If they will give the people sufficient number of good boats, maintain satis- factory schedules and render the service they will get the greater portion of the American business. They should try that at e2st, before asking to have legislation that would deprive the people of South eastern Alaska of the dependable Canadian Pacifics service to their ports.
 The proposed Territorial Shipping bill would not shut the Canadian boats out of the Alaska service. l is claimed that the Junes bill would do so.
 It would be a bad idea, however if the Can adans would like continue to handle Alaska busi- for them to admit American vessels to their ports on the same that their boats are admit ted American ports-eXactly on the same terms vessels admitted.

Two Primaries
(New York World

While Hiram Johnson administering the cus- tomary drubbng to Gen. Leonard Wood in the Re publican primaries in Nebraska, curious things were happening to the Hon. Hoke Smith in the Democratic primaries in Georgia.
 Smith entered the primaries of his home State as candidate for President a of expressing his chronic resentment against the President. None of the avowedy Democratic aspirants the nomina ton, except Mitchell Palmer, willing to take the trouble to against him, and Palmer is by far the weakest of them all. Yet he had no trouble in beating Hoke Smith Tom Watson who repre- sents all the elements of dscontent and demagogy in Georgia in much the fashion that Hiram Johnson represents them in the Republican Party
 The Democratic primaries in Georgia mean little except in respect to Hoke Smiths grouch but the Republican primaries in Nebraska have left little of Gen. Woods claim that he is the Roosevelt heir Hiram Johnson may not have been mentioned in the will but he is getting the goods, and the goods are what counts in Republican politics.

CANADIAN STEAMERS IN ALASKAN
 WATERS

The Empire is not in favor of legislation that would deprive Alaska of the benefit the water
 lines of the Canadian Pacific and such other Canad- ian steamship lines may desire to Alaska The Empire has always believed and believes in the widest possible reciprocity in trade relations tween the United States and Canada-as nearly free trade as 1t is possible get
 And in all the relations between the United States and Canada regarding the Alaska traffic it must not be forgotten that Canada has hinterland to Southeastern Alaska that reaches the sea only through Alaska at Skagway Haines and Wrangell. Some day hope Canadians may come down to Taku. The situation along the Northern Pacific is nearly akin to that of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence, where there are special rules for the government of the coastwise trade than it is along the Atlantic and Gulf and on the Pacific coast from Puget Sound southward.
 However, forced to admit that the Can adians partly responsible for the agitation in favor of shutting them of the American trade of the North Pacific. They do treat American vessels which go into their ports literally as they treat their vessels and they permit the opera ton of lines feeders to railroad companies un- der circumstances that permit them to run their steamers at oss f necessary, taking their profits
