cium arsenate. Several phases of
the work are being accomplished un-
der appropriations secured by Sena
tor Harris at the last session of con.
Gress.
when the government fights the
cotton bofl weevil, it is assisting
every form of business, for when the
farmer is prosperous it is reflected
by good times on all sides and in
all kinds Of business said Senator
Harris. The activity Of the sena-
tors in the farm bloc has not been
for the purpose Of getting preferen-
tial legislation for the farmers, but
it has been necessary to assure equal
consideration and treatment for the
farmers in legislation that is con
sidered by congress"
Senator Harris referred to the
years of research by the experts in
the fight on the boil weevil, and told
of the appropriation of $4,000 for
special work thar he secured, Il part
of which is being used for the air
plane exhibition. Other items secured
by him were funds for developing

CANADA HAS OWN rum ROW.
SUPPLYING DRY PROVINCES

and to steady them, the boats. in
the wind Only few are steamers
Or have auxiliary engines. Some of
them are just one-masted, almost
one cask, fishing sloops.
They do not need to be as large
as the vessels in the sea caravan
! that serves the great American Sa-
! hara. They supply not half a CON
/ tinent, but only three small prov
/ inces. Being able to anchor three
miles off shore and not twelve, they
! do not need to be seaWOrthy. Their
| source of supply is st. Pierre Mique-
Ion, only a hundred miles distant
from the extreme ncrth Of Cape
Breton, while the "hOine waters" of
the American fleet Is tie Bermudas
and the Bahamas.
No Trade With Yankee Fleet
1t should rejoice the hearts of pro
tectioniSts to learn that this Cana
| dian fleet has no truck or trade with
the Yankee fleet. 1t occupies the
extreme tip Of the great Marine
Horn or Cornucopia, which so copi-
Ously bedews the Volstead coast, but
it is not in direct contact with it.
Between Maine and New Brunswick,
where the tWelvemile limit ends and
the three-mile limit begins, there is
a gap. One rum fleet is, as it were,
'in the air" But it prospers as
strictly Canadian enterprise, limited
to a Canadian market. 1t was esti-
mated by a Sydney newspaper man
that Cape Breton alone buys in one
year $2,000.000 worth of liquor from
the sea.
The ships are mostly owned by
Canadians and belong to Canadian
ports They laugh at American com

on the American market in spite of
Republican anti-dumping laws, Many
a Nova ScOtian liquor carrier makes
a dash into American waters as
though on a highland fOray into the
lowlands and trades headaches for
dollars.
Ships of the rum fleet, it seems,
are like the whales. In rough
weather they keep we'll out to avoid
being blown on shore. When the
weather is fine they come in and
bask in the sunshine on the three

Cotton Rate Petition
Is Given Hearing by
Georgia Commission

The Georgia public service com
mission Wednesday heard argumen
on petition of the Georgia Co-opera
tive Cotton Growers association an(
the Atlantic CotOtn association fo1
uniform rates on concentration anC
reshipment of cotton in Georgia
The petitioners charged that the
railroads permit cotton shipped from
other states to Georgia points, fol
concentration or substitution, to be
reshipped to points within or with
out the state, but have made no pro
vision for the reshipment of cotton
concentrated from points within the
state.
Representatives of the carriers
agreed that there should be more
uniformity in the rules and rates
governing the concentration and re.
shipment of cotton in some in
stances.
The commission took the petition
under adViSement.

COTTON

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-The cot
ton market opened steady at de-
cline of three points to an advance
Of six points and soon showed net
gains of 20 to y points on active
months, October selling at 24.67 and
December, 24.20. Covering was
stimulated by relatively steady cable,
and a bullisE, private crop report. The
effect of these features was offset
partially by private reports of rain
in Texas and another private report
appeared later making the condition
ga and the indicated yield 1890, 600
bales. These figures apparently were
nearly in line with expectations, and
fluctuations after the early advance
were irregular.
Conflicting crop reports appeared
to unsettle the confidence of some
recent sellers and covering later be-
came more active, with October ad-
vancing to 24.S3 and December to
27.40, or 40 to 43 points net higher
Offerings Increased at these figures
influenced by reports of an easing
was quieter at midday with prices
showing reactions of 5 or 10 points
from the highest.
The mid-afternoon market was nos
active, but prices were a shade cas-
Ter, owing to reports of increased
spot offerings in the south. The lat.
ter were accompanied by some
southern selling here, and prices
worked off to 24.57. for October and
2420 for December, the market rul-
ing II to 25 points net higher at
O'Clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 28.-The
cotton market today opened fairly
steary, Liverpool being a little bet
ter than due. First trades showed
gains of five to eight points, but
prices eased off to about yesterday s
closing levels during the call. Prices
rallied again after the call, October
trading up to $3.50 and January to
1880 or Is to 10 points above the
previous close. The market then
fluctuated somewhat nervously
awaiting the weather map. Another
tropical storm was reported in the
Caribbean sea.
The market advanced toward the
middle of the morning, on the dry
weather map, numerous reports Of
serious crop deterioration and an
other storm warning stating that the
disturbance in the Caribbean sea is of
considerable intensity and moving
northWestward. October traded up
to 24.05; December to 24.15, and Jan
uary to 2420, or 4j to "A points
above yesterdays closing levels.
Later in the morning prices eased
off II to 20 points on poor spot de-
mand and easier basis in southern
ports of numerous showers in cen
trail and northern Texas.
Around noon and during the early
afternoon, the market fluctuated
narrowly. The market degenerated
into a scalpin gaffair with prices
around 23.S8 for October and 1898
for December and January. The gov
eminent today issued the ''pars" by
states to be used in figuring out the
indicated yield on the basis of the
September l condition.

liquor Fleet, Anchored Three
Miles Off Rugged Nova
Scotia Coast, Does ThriV-
ing Business

,ial Leased Wire to The JournaI-copy-

| Especial Leased Wire to The Journal-Copy-
light. 1920
| SYDNEY, Nova Scotia. Aug. 26.-
The whole world knows of the anti
! Nolstead squadron that lubricates
| New York by means of submarines
hydroplanes and high-powered motor
boats. The whole world does not
know that Canada also has an At.
lantic rum fleet.
Many great waves beat ON the
rugged coasts of Cape Breton, but
no wild nor eastern as wild and law,
less as the waves Of rum. The
writer has recently stood on the
very crest of these rum breakers
and watched them foam shorewavd
into hundreds of smugglers' coVes.
A glance ut a map will show at
once that Cape Breton is ideally
adapted to pluck BOTTLES from the
sea. 1t is the hand of which the rest
of Nova Scotia is the arm and the
straits of Canso the wrist. 1t runs
oue to sea in innumerbale long head
lands like eager reckoning fingers.
Or, perhaps, it would be better 10
say that Cape Breton, Cape Percy,
Point AcOnie, Cape Smoky and Cape
North are tongues-quivering and
thirsty tongues.
Off every headland is some yes
sci of the fleet. 1t needs little ma ic
to summon spirits from the vast
deep. The rustic of bills at the
three mile limit is all that is required
to lure kegs and cases from the holds
of the rum boats into the holds of
the rum runners.
Three Cutters Guard Shore
To serve as barriers against this
tidal wave, the dominion government
has three revenue cutters. the largest
OF which is the Sycamore, command
ed by Captain Peters. These watch
dogs of the customs, if they took
their eyes or their telescopes from
the land, would realize in a moment
that they are not bikes but sleeves.
The customs officials cannot watch
so great an eXpanse on a coast so
wrinkled as a human brain.
The fleet amounts to forty sails,
fifteen off Cape Breton and the rest
off Halifax. Lunenburg and Var
mouth. And they are really sails.
They ride at anchor with sails up to
serve as a sea mark TO customers
