IN COTTON DELT
CROP 10 FAST GETTING INTO A
CRITICAL CONDITION AC
CORDING TO REPORTS.
WEATHER AFFECTS MARKET
If the Dry and Hot Weather Continues
a Sensational Advance in Prices
Is Likely.
New Orleans, La.—This week In the
cotton market ntariy everything but
the weather will be lost sight of. It
Is generally acknowledged that the
crop la faijt getting Into a critical con
dition as the result of protracted
drauth and high temperatures. At
the end of last week there was no
relief in sight on the weather map,
and if the week opens with a dry and
hot map the chances are thai a sensa
tional rise in prices will take place,
and that new high levels for the sea
son will be established on the now i
crop months.
It Is seldom that, at this time of the
belt has suffered such
uniformly bad weather. According to t
both private and official reports every
state in the cotton belt needs good
rains. Tho high temperatures would
not be a drawback In most localities
if sufficient moisture were falling to 
keep the plant growing. Warm nights
right now are an advantage that the
crop seldom has. Without rain, how
ever, Uie high temperatures are add
ing to the injury being worked.
At the end of last week the worst ,
complaints were coming from the Car- j
ollnan, parts of Oklahoma, Texas, Mis- ,
sisslppi and Louisiana. All other i
states, however, needed rain, but not (
as badly as ttie ones mentioned. It ,
was claimed that In parts of Missis- ,
slppi cotton was failing to germinate ,
because of tho excessive dryness oi ,
the soil.
Should these conditions be relieved I
this week the trade will again take
another look at the bureau reports of
last week. 11

ATTORNEY GENERAL WICKER
SHAM SAYS GOVERNMENT
i
WI&. PROSECUTE. ,
Congressmen Want to Know Why Men J
Cornered Cotton Were Not
Prosecuted. j
Washington.—The recent decisions !
of the Supreme court In the Standard '
Oil and American Tobacco company
cases will result In a sweeping at- (
tempt to secure criminal conviction '
of violators of the anti-trust law, ac- '
cording to Attorney General Wicker- 1
sii&ui, who appeared before the house '
committee on expenditures lu the de- '
partment of Justice.
Mr. Wlckemh&m wan asked why the '
government hus far had failed to '
lodge any "trust magnates" In prison. '
"There has been an unwillingness 1
on the part of the juries and courts
to sentence men to prlaon under the 1
antl-trußt law,'' he replied.
"Juries are becoming more willing 1
now, however, to convict and judges 1
who have been reluctant'to Impoße '
prison penalties now have the supreme
court decisions to sustain them."
Mr. Wickersham said he believed '
prison sentences would be the most 1
effective means of enforcing respect '
fi IT the anti-trust law. Criminal prose- 1
jHUtnis against the meat packers, milk
flealers, grocers, the uavpl stores and
window glass combination and alleged
violators of the anti-trust law, lie said,
would be augmented by other prosecu
tions. On this subject the government
had definite plana.
The attorney general was closely ,
questioned by Mr. lleall as to the cot
ton canes in New York. Asked why ac
tions were brought against those ,
seeking to elevate the price of raw
cotton other than against the spin
ners and "bears" who were trying to
depress It,

No Lynlchmg Message From Taft.
Washington.—A delegation repre
senting tne National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People
called on President Tuft and urged
him to send a special message to con

president heard them patiently, bull

Better Growing Record Than the Av

Yearo..
Washington.—The area of the cot
ton cioy planted this year, 1911, in the
United States, including that already
planted and expected lo be planted,
is about 104.7 per cent, of the area
planted last year, equivalent to about
35,0u4,000 acres, as compared with
33,418,000 acres, an Increase of about
1,5&ti,0U0 acres, or 4.7 per cent., ac
cording to a report issued by the de
railment of agriculture.
The condition of tne growing crop
on May 25 was 57.8 per cent, of a
normal condition, as compared with
i 0.2 per cent, at the corresponding
uate in l»lu and 50.9 per cent., the
average condition tor the past ten
ye.rs on May 25.
Constuereu ty states, the crop id
fairly even in condition, except in
doutn Carolina, wtieie continued
drouth reduced percentage condition
to 74. The outiooK tor Georgia is very
orignt wi.ere the condition is >9.3. Dry
weather has been the cuief cause of
complaint, cUecuing germination of the
late planting. Owing cnieiiy to th.s
cause, the crop in niauy sections is
Ute, while in localities where cotton
got a good start, it is early. For this
teabon the crop is very irregular and
it Is difficult to approximate us back
wardness, but on the average It must
be quite one week to ten uaya late.
Stands, where obtained, are gener
ally very good; fields are well piepar
ed and cultivate and the special re
port of this paper one month ago
slowed a large increase in the use of
fertilizers. Hain is badly ueeaeu in
many sections.

PRESS hAVUH HtUIPROCITY
Poll of 10,000 Newspapers Shows Three
to One for Agreement.
Chicago.—Tne Trmune published
results ot a poll of newspapers in 22
states of the central, western, south
western, northwestern and Pacific di
visions on the question of approving
the reciprocity agreement negotiated
with Canada by Talt.
To tnore than 10,000 newspapera,
representing every shade of political
opinion, Tue Triuune submitted ilii*
question;
"Are you in favor of the approval
by congress of the reciprocity agree
ment with Cauada negotiated by Pres
ident Tail?"
The replies numbered 4,303, of which
4,240 Were definite, even if quaiineo,
expressions ot opinion.
Of these 2,113 were in favor of the
agieenunt and 1,127 against it—nearly
a three to one vote tor tue policy ad
vocated by Presideut Tan, shattering
the dreams of the foes of reciproc
ity.
The conclusion is plain, if not irre
sistible, that the country, at least the
part of it included within the 22 states
thus polled, welcomes the removal of
the tariff wall between the United
Slates and the Dominion.
