the enterprise. The Minister Of Public Works
is quoted as saying that the problem has been
solved, and this Is no doubt true. But "Ths
Engineer" and the American technical jour
nails are frankly skeptical and insist upon
being "shown." They shrug their professional
shoulders and, while admitting that engineer
ing and hydraulic obstacles can doubtless be
overcome, are loath to acknowledge the pos
sibile commercial success Of such installa-
tions when placed In competition with other

NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, La, May S.-The
fear of a large increase in cotton
acreage, which almost paralyzeo
the speculative element in tbs
southern trade, has been dispe1lec
by the unfavorable weather which
has prevailed continuously for the
last three weeks. The market is
responding to this change with
constantly increasing activity and
prices have risen rapidly because
of a belief that another short CROP
is impending.
The advance in cotton values is
having a helpful effect on senti-
ment and general financial cond1-
tions throughout the south. Bright
est indication is the continued
large turnover among the retailers
and the increase in import and ex-
port trade. Sales of retail stores
are running ahead of any period sc
far this year and are probably 20
per cent ahead of the correspond
ing period of last year. Much OF
this trade is due to the variety and
cheapness of the summer goods Of
fered, especially in the light silk
and fine cotton lines.
The jobbing and manufacturing
trade, however, is being restricted
by curtailment of business in the
flooded areas. Most of the whole
salers have withdrawn their sales
men from that territory. Unem-
ployment is decreasing rapidly.

CHICAGO.

Chicago, May 8. - Competition
among merchants OF the middle
west has not seen so keen for
years as 1t is this spring. This
has resulted in more attractive
window displays, more appealing
styles and more variety in designs.
While spring has been late in this
section, warm days have brought
out good buying and the result
seems to be an optimistic feeling
that trade would pick up as soon
as the weather becomes settled.
Jobbers' prices have become more
stabilized and country merchants
are showing a tendency to buy in
larger quantities and wider assort-
ments.
Unseasonably low temperatures
, in certain sections of the middle
west have retarded work to con-
siderable extent and business has
suffered accordingly. The coal
strike seemingly has been a negH-
gible feature in the situation de-
spite the reduced spending power
! in some states due to unemploy-
ment.
Building construction here is
gaining impetus as the spring adj
vances Work was started this
week on large business block and
a new Mcvickers' theatre is being
erected on the site of the old play
house of that name The steel in
| dustry continues to boom with the

I hides is active with prices steady
and patent feathers continue to sell

! PHILADELPHIA.
Philadelphia, May 3.-One Of the
most favorable developments here
is the prospective improvement in
! transit facilities. The city has
has spent Sic, 100000 and seven
years in building an elevated road
to the northeastern section and the
rapid transit company has agreed
to operate this as part of its sys-
tenn, paying the city rental. This
| will mean the development of a
large area and new business CEN
| tiers. Thousands of dwellings,
churches, theatres and stores will
be built. These operations, it is
expected will add greatly to the
prosperity of the city for years to
come
Building activities are increasing
constantly. In April, 1,414 permits
for 2,032 operations were issued.
These involved an outlay of $9,210,-

Dallas, Texas, May 3.-Although
press reports indicate an increased
cotton acreage in Texas, the recent

BARGE SERVICE
TO Be RESUMED
Resumption of Traffic on Mssis.
sfppi to Follow Many Years Of
Qnietude.

Barge line river service from
Minneapolis to the Gulf OF Mexico
is said to be assured this year, re-
sumption of traffic following many
years of quIetude.
At least two, and probably a
third barge line service Will oper-
ate with Minneapolis as its north
ern terminus One will operate
between this city and Lacrosse.
Wis, and another will make the
trip to New Orleans.
Assurance of the barge service
was predicated on action of the
Minneapolis city council in appro-
priating sufficient funds to improve
the levee here and giving authori-
cation for the erection OF a ware
house on the municipal levee.
One veteran river pilot who is de-
Eirous of running a barge line from
Minneapolis TO New Orleans de-
clared the river is in better condi-
ton for navigation today than 1t
was 80 years ago. He plans on
taking flour on the trip down. An
other Minneapolis company guar
anteed the council committee re-
sently to bring coal cargoes up
from the south Both sources state
that barges are under construction
70 carry out their proposed barge
service plans.
Pending also is government &C
tion for dredging the Mississippi
for a 6-foot channel on the upper
river, which after passing the
house is awaiting it's fate in the
senate. The government barge line
service, operated by E. F. Goltra of
st. Louis from that city to New
Orleans, has been ordered to ex-
tend its line to Minneapolis, also
and should the river improvements
take place this year, il is probable
other packet lines will steam the
Mississippi from Minneapolis.

GRAIN PRICES

(Markets by E. F. Leland & Company,
212 Union National Bank Building)
CHICAGO. June Wheat started
higher and was higher near the close,
although there was a break near mid
session of two cents from the high.
Houses with eastern and seaboard
connections were good buyers and
they were followed early by locals.
Outside orders failed to follow the
early upturn and this brought a re-
action. Crop news mixed and sew
eral reports of rust were received.
Government weekly report was mildly
bullish. Receipts here were much
smaller than of late. Cash markets
steady at l to higher. Shipping
sales reported at 10000 bushels and
it was claimed that local house sold
100000 to exporters late yesterday.
The weather is favorable. Crop es-
Inmates by two local experts were con-
strued as bearish.
Corn-The trade in corn was only
moderate but the undertone to the
market was strong. There was re-
action from the early rise in sympathy
with wheat but the greater part of the
loss was regained. Spreaders bought
July and sold September. Cash steady
to one cent higher.
Oats failed to respond to the ad-
vance in other grains. There was
scattered commission buying early
but a leading elevator concern filled
up the buyers and soon had the mar
ket long. Cash market steady to y
cent higher.
