market yesterday was the publica-
tion by the government of (ht· ci η
ners' figure* showing tin? amount
of ι otton ginned to S·■ |)t»·ml>t·ι I ind
Hit' condition of Iht· cotton market
to August 25.
Both reports were bearish and
caused considerable covering by
frightened longs
The glnners' report wa- flashed at
» o'clock and gave the amount gin
m d to September 1 a; 1!'1.414 bales
against 11 » 7.1 91 to same tim ■ last
year. The report was considered as
bearish as the general expectancy
owing to the lateness of the crop
was around I 20.000 bales. and
when the figures were made public
there was considerable covering but
the longs held bat k in anticipation
of a very bullish government condi-
tion report which w\as to be issued
at 10 o'clock. October recovered
slightly after opening at the closing
level of Saturday at 12.;;o. When
the condition report was made show-
ing the average condition of the
crop to be 72.7 against 75 last
month there was a wild scramble to
cover and the market broke sharply
losing over a dollar per bale in a
very brief space.

sition it is his contention that the
federal government should lend all
the aid necessary for the construc-
tion of this ship canal to make the
great advantages of the Panama ca-
nal available to the Mississippi val-
ley Mr Barrett said :
"It is not excessive to estimate
that the value of products which
these republics will then purchase
from foreign countries at $.">00000
000.
The major portion of the supplies
will come from Xorth America if the
great manufacturing centers of the
Middle West are provided with water
transportation. it requires no
stretch of the imagination to con-
ceive boats or barges loaded in Chi-
cago Joliet or other points in this
manufacturing district making the
entire trip. America has been slow to
; improve its waterways much more
so than any of the other great pow-
ers and it is time we awake to the
advantages to be obtained."

The new revenue acts are bringing
in more than enough revenue to
meet all demands upon the state's

of the automatic tax law it is claim-
ed that a deficit will be impossible.

Abraham White of Shadow l.awn.

A McCall in West End Long
Branch Ν J \ltbouse allege» that
White bought the famous property
with the company s money and not
with his own The property cost
nearh $2000000. but was bought
b> White for about $30(1000.
The McCall property fronts on the
well known Norwood avenue drive.
It was bought by White from a syn-
dicate headed by Myron II. Open-
hetm. Γροη taking possession the
first thing White did was κ» change
the name from Shadow Lawn to
White Park. White and his family I
Lave made this their regular sum-
mer home.
White has been frequently sued by
local residents and up to now has
easily been found and served with
summonses but at present his
whereabouts are unknown. It is be-
lieved he has returned to St. Louis
his former home.
Arguments in the case have been
heard by United States Judge W.
W. Lanning.
White is well known in Texas
1 where he was engaged in the cotton
1 business tor many years. He was
\ very successful In his Wall street op
le ration last year and -was also one
I of the main promoters ot the D«j
I Forest Wireless Telegraph company
! but it is understood that he is n<
longer connected with that corpora
tion.
White is a bright and active busi
ness man. has plenty of nerve and
beat some of the old time Wall
street Ramblers at their own game
for a year or so. He has entertained
many of his Texas friends at White
Park which place he has maintained
for the past year or so at an expense I
of over $100000 per annum

broken bottles and flying bricks In ι
the hands of the frenzied mob.
Kitrou Ishti and Consul Hisainidzu
made their escape from the mob and
an account of the affair was imme-
diately cabled to Toklo
Coincident with the riot was the
arrival of a steamship having on
board at least 500 Japanese. The
mob surged to the water front and
as soon as the Japanese came down
the gang plank they were attacked
by the rioters. Seven or eight Jauan-
ese were unceremoniously picked
up and thrown Into Burrard inlet.
Still further rioting occurred
when a crowd of 4000 laborers
started on the warpath but it was
finally quelled by the police after
twenty had been arrested. Last
night Chinatown was roped off and
the orientals guarded by the police.
Baron Ishii stated that he had ca-
bled Ambassador Kaneko at London
apprising him of the events. An In-
demnity from the city to the amount
j of $2000 will be claimed. Mayor
ι Hethune declares this indemnity
will not be paid and the affair will
Ibe taken up with the Dominion gov-
l ernment.
