Zoe COTTON PREDICTED
FOR MARCH FIRST

Since the government Issued its re-
port on August lst. giving the estimated
average condition of the cotton crop at
CAT, of normal, the crop is reported to
have deteriorsted fully rs per cent IN
the territory between Dallas and San
Antonio, Texas. says Sugsrmsn's Indi-
Gator. There are well.informed crop
specialists in Texas who are venting
the opinion that the entire state may
not produce more than 1000. 900 bales.
They are very bullish on cotton 10
Texas and are predicting 90. Der pound
by March /, contrasting with . pre-
vailing level Of lSe per pound. On q
purchase Of 10 bales of May Gotten at
14c per pound, recessitstiLg marginal
deposits Of 500, an advance in the May
option to 2ac per pound BY March ]
would give the Fortunate holder an iI.-
dicsted paper profit OF $500. less $3.50
commission and q small government
tax.
Even though the May cotton futures
should sell up to zoe per pound by
March !, there would necessarily be
frequent reactions and bugles which
would give numerous profipsking op-
portunities. While trading in cotton
futures is highly speculative. at the
same time when you consider that the
government states q crop of only 8.
2JS.O00 bales is expected as c6ntrastsC'
with 1855. 754 bales last year, II,
s2O. 76S, bales two years ago. and u.
Ol0.5S2 bales three years ago. one can
res iily realize that there shoeld be
real merit behind tie present upward
movement in cotton futures. -Ex.

The Pekin Legation.

A glance at the names of the few
countries where the United States min
lister is appropriately installed in his
official mansion betrays rather eccen-
trio choice, writes Teresa Long in
the Worlds Work. Instead Of Lon
don, Paris, Rome, we find diplomatic
residences in Bangkok, Pekin and
Morocco. The legation at Pekin is
particularly creditable, being Of sub
stantial masonry and placed in spa
cious compound. That so worthy a
reservation should have been acquired
in the heart Of Pekin might strike the
traveller curiously. When did congress
become so generously well-disposed to-
ward our diplomat in China? The
rather shame-faced answer is that we
never bought it. In the Boxer rebel
ion of 1900, United States marines oc-
cupied that particular piece Of ter
ritory, and in a sense, they have occu-
pied it ever since.
