He also built the First Methodist church structure. His greatest activities in El Paso occurred from 15 to 20 years ago, for a num ber of years under the firm name of TVhitmore & Baker. Later Mr. Baker engaged in construction work on the Pacific coast in cities of Wyoming. Ore gon and Washington. Also, he was en gaged in construction work for Greene Cananea properties, and was a minor contractor in building the El Paso Smelting company plant. Mr. Baker has been engaged two years as general superintendent of con struction for the Guanajuato company. At the time of his death he was erect ing some aerial tramways. It has been about a year since Mr. Baker vis ited El Paso. His youngest daughter. Miss Elsie Baker, received a letter from her father last week, e.rranging for her to visit him.

The cot ton market was very steady during the first part of the session, the traders being more and more influenced by the strengthening- position of the new crop. There seems to be no material improvements in the conditions over the entire belt and the daily develop ments seem to induce nll lower esti mates of the crop. The mercantile crop l ronnrt sa.vs that the total crop Is irac- tionally less than 12,000,000 bales indi cated. The condition in Texas is not satisfactory. A prominent authority in the special report on Texas says the plant is small but is generally doing well, and that all sections -of the state need rain and some need it badly. Speaking of cotton mills in North Caro lina, John A. Daw, ' president of the Saxon mills, at Spartanburg, S. C, one of the largest spinning districts in the south, says there will be the larg est curtailment of cotton mills this summer that has ever been known. "V Cotton Quiet. New Orleans, X.a., July 11.
