CORPORATION LAWS.

The Legislature is asked to enact
amendments which will make more popu-
lar the State corporation laws.
I'VE should exercise the same supervis-
ion over foreign corporations that seek to
do business in this State as over our own,
and they should be subject to the same
limitations Many complaints now made
against large combinations of capital are
lust, but owing to our lack OF jurisdiction
we are unable TO control. and, therefore,
no law can be framed Whicn will reach
foreign corporations effectively.
The Governor says that he looks for
ward to the day when the State of New
York would no longer find it necessary to
levy a direct tax for State purposes He

SHOULD PAY TRIBUTE.

'.All corporations receive from the State
certain rights. and this class of capital
should pay u tribute to the creating power
for that which they have received. This
justifies the present laws taxing corpora
tions for State purposes, and all future
corporation tax laws should be based on
this principle. a fair and equitable re-
compense from all corporations enjoying
State protection and favor should be eN-
acted. All corporations should pay a tax
based upon their earning power. But few
Of the many corporations in the State are
now taxed in this manner, and, therefore.
an unfair discrimination exists The
Governor adds:
Every department OF New York needs
corrective legislation. Especially is this
true of the departments whose admins
tration is confined to county lines. Many
of the public officers in that city are re-
ceiving a larger remuneration for their
service than that which is given to the
President of the United States.
The message recommends the creation
of a bipartisan election board, exemption
of mortgages from taxation, and enact
ment of an employers liability law or the
establishment of q system of forced in
surance of the employees by the employer
TO place employees on the same legal foot
ing as individuals not employed.

 New York. July 29.-It was unnecessary to look beyond the intelligence contained in the newspapers of yesterday and today to understand the dominant factors in course of prices in the stock market on the opening It goes without saying that these were first the announcement in regard to the prospects for an early settlement of the steel labor trouble, and second the intelligence in respect to the heavy and general downfall of rain throughout the Western States, and es- pecially in sections suffering from drouth Noteworthy features of the early deal ings were St. Paul, Union Pacific and Texas, Pacific, Illinois Central and Penn-. sylyania Aside from the railway list the steel stocks were conspicuously strong The local traction issues shared in the strength of the general market, with Manhattan a conspicuous feature. There were also active dealings throughout the bond market. particularly in Union Pa cific, convertible As, the Reading and Fries. While the advances which took place in the early dealings naturally in- vited quite heavy profit realizing sales, the recessions from the mornings best prices were little more than fractional and the market retained an exceedingly strong undertone particularly for the stocks already cited

 Birmingham July 29.-The weather map showed no material change in the situa- tion this morning Light showers were the rule in all sections, especially over the Central and Western districts. Galveston came in for only 001. Little Rock got nothing, and Oklahoma only o.01; at the same time private reports from both Texas and Arkansas indicated that the rainfall reported in those states recently had afforded only temporary relief, that cotton was still suffering for rain and that the bears would be surprised in very short time if rain did not soon come. Liverpool cables, which were weak early, with a loss of to 3-64d, later closed strong, with a net advance of to 2h-64d, and were responsible for the initial gain of 8 to points in New York. Trading in the latter center was the smallest for many days, or the trade Is mixed as to the real status of conditions in the belt. The tendency at the moment is to await the monthly bureau due on the Sd before making any large commitments. The close was 2q6 off on the summer months and unchanged to 3 higher on the new crop positions.

RUSH TO BUY AT OPENING

New York July 2s-The way in which the stock market acted this horhins served to dash the hopes of the puiis amongst the traders who had mouleeo a hope that some accession or speculative interest would result of the favoring fac- tcre over Sunday. For two M' noays mast the market has had to face an ac ct,mulotion of discouraging laclors which resulted in selling down prices within the first hour of trading to what nroved to be the low point of the week. ,rhia morning to contrast there was the news of rain in the corn belt about which there was no dispute for the frst time as to their extent and beneficial character
 There was besides the news of nego- t,ations and consultations between the representatives of the United states Steel corporation and of the Amalgama- ted Association, looking to settlement of the strike.

A dull summer holi- day business with no featnures and no change of news. More rains were report ed in various sections with Central Texas still dry The majority of advices proved favorable enough to prevent buying, but not favorable enough to break prices. Fol- lowing the liquidation and the decline in August there is every prospect of a stead- Ter market without much change from the present level before the report on August 3. Pit traders anticipated TIC as the price of January cotton the latter part of the week or within 10-point limit of that figure.

New Orleans, July 29.-The market for spot cotton was very quiet today Buy CTS made their usual rounds through the sample rooms, but they were not abundantly supplied with orders and showed no great anxiety to trade upon the basis of current values.
 Factors are still offering freely and the tables are well supplied with the me- dium and poorer grades. but prices are just a shade steadier under the influence of the improvement in sentiment, dur ing the latter portion of the day at Liver pool and the consequent advance in con- tract prices on this side Sales GOO, in- cluding 100 to arrive. Quotations un- changed.
 There was not much doing during the morning hours today in the line of con- tracts for future delivery of cotton. The sharp and radical change of front on the part of Liverpool which opened at 3-64d be- law Saturdays closing prices and reac- ting immediately after the opening ad- vanced until the close. 1t showed a net gain for the day of 1-64d on all months, had rather a stupefying effect upon the talent on this side New Orleans opened to points higher.
