JAMES c.. CARRIERS PLEA.
HE SPEAKS FOR THE RAILROADS BEFORE
JUDGE WHEELER.

NOTHING TO SHOW THAT THE COMPANIES IN THE
JOINT TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION HAD VIo-
LATED THE ANTITRUST LAW.
The argument Of counsel in the suit brought to
test the legality OF the new Joint raffc agreement
entered into by the great railroad companies was
resumed before Judge Wheeler In the United states
Circuit Court Yesterday. James c Carter, OF couh-
sci for the railroads. addressed the Court Mr.
Carter asserted that the railroad companies nad
labored under great disadvantages because OF COM
petition with one another, of inadequate returns
for money invested and other drawbacks which
made measures of self-preservation absolutely
Necessary on their part
Mr. Carter commended that there had been no
violation Of the principles OF true Justice on the
part Of the parties the Joint traffic agreement
He admitted that the principle Of injunction was
all right and proper, but he urged That courts
should exercise great care In the granting OF IN
functions The District-Attorncy, according 70 MT
Carriers view, had not contended that the business
Of the country had been nterfered with py inc
railroad companies. No obstruction to commerce
VAS alleged No crime was laid at the door Of the
railroads.
Mr. Carter said that 1t very difficult to dehne
the meaning OF the word monopoly The term
was a very elastic Who could tell where 10
draw the line between monopoly and non-monopoiyF
II q man happened to own all the opium IN the

patent laws Of the United States protected the IN
terests Of inventors. Could anybody justly assert
that laws which were meant 10 secure pay f tho
inventors for their time and trouble were io' INC
unfolding OF monopoly? $500.
Mr.. Carter defined what he regarded as trusts;
He believed there wide difference between
trust and a joint traffic agreement. An ASSOCIATION
OF railroad companies not In the nature OF a
trust. Trusts were prohibited by law. because they
were IN the nature Of conspiraces against the wei
fare Of the public. Furthermore. there should De
a careful discrimna ton between the letter ana the
spirit of laws The railroad companies had not IN
frnged upon the spirit Of any law now on the Dooks
Mr. Carter said ne would submit briefs or the pro.
ceedings of both houses Of Congress to show tnst
there was no Intention TO make railroads amehapie
10 the Antitrust act. There was limit to which
low prices could be carried with safety. TX was 10

THE railroads companies could not afford 10 cut one
another's throats. Hence they put their heads TO-
Rether and formed agreement for the mutuai IN

Mr. Carter that the interests OF the pubic were pei

Mr.. Carter was still speaking wnen the court au-

The process of driving the shorts in cotton was
continued yesterday with the result OF an advance

tom touched the lowest point on the reaction that
began last October and continued till March, the
leader in the upward movement was John n. In
man. Mr.. Inman has expressed his faith in the
market and belief In higher prices for several weeks
and his house has been on the bull side for some
time His purchases OF May June and August con-
tracts Yesterday were estimated at 5000 bales.
Under this aggressive leadership 1t was not sur
prisng to see the market climbing up again. Owing
70 the approach Of "notice day." May contracts

gust. 7.S2.
1t was reported that the Liverpool market was
IN the hands Of a strong firm, able and willing TO
manipulate 1t for an advance.
The Bureaus weekly bulletin. confirming the
private advices as 10 the drouth in the Atlantic
States, brought in Liverpool higher and helped this
market to move up easily. At Fall River the busi-
ness outlook Is sufficiently encouraging TO have
canned a slight advance on some makes of goods.
Stocks were booming. The drygoods district sent
cheerful reports. The drift toward sounder bust
