ern preferred. SA in Sugar, and 21a in
ST. Paul and New York Central. Many
of the railroad stocks were at the lowest
when the market closed. The statement
of President Hill, of the Great Northern,
that he had never owned share of St.
Paul stock in his life, had a greatly un-
settling influence on spectators who have
worked in the conviction that ST. Paul
had passed to the control OF Great North
ern and Northern Pacific. The declaration
of a two per cent dividend on New
York, Chicago and st. Louis second pre-
ferred where all the way from PIG to )
per cent had been confidently predicted,
caused a readjustment of ideas as to
large number of analogous cases. The de-
NAL of he rumor that Metropolitan
Street Railway had leased Manhattan up
set another line of speculative calcula-
tions. The money supply continues su-
perabundant but the growing belief that
notable outward movement of gold has
begun has served as an additional drag
on the market

COTTON.

New York, Jan. ia considerable por
'lon of the advance established in cotton
futures during yesterdays wave of cover
ing and investment buying was swept
Aaway early today by small avalanche of
liquidation and some pearpounding There
were several reactionary movements later
In the session, but prices failed to rally
10 the final bids Of last night. On the
opening the feeling was easy with prices
down three to five points, Immediately
followed by an additional drop of from
six to eight points under selling for
both accounts. which seemed to come
from nearly all points. Toward mid
day there was a change for the better
but In the early afternoon sheer lack of
supporting orders caused prices to slowly
sag, after which variations were insignifi-
cant and business practically fiat The
market was finally steady with prices
five to ten points lower
While tho English cables proved fully
as favorable as anticipated by the trade
here. tho Liver"ool market took a de-
cided lift toward the bear side before our
onCning and continued to decline under
what appeared to be general selling. Our
msP'rc' followed sharply until 92S was
reached for March and 9.25 for May, when
demand from reactionists checked fur
thcr decline and caused Liverpool to
steady and close considerably up from
the lowest.

The following editoriaI copied from

CIRCUITS standing IL Washington to be
exactly what was claimed for him by
his friends during the recent cam
paign.
tThe Tasterly manner in which Mr..
Grout handled the District appropri-
alton DILL IN the House causes the peo-
pie of Washington more then ever to
regret his approaching departure from
congress. He explained the provi-
sions Of the budget with skill and dis
cretion, acknowledging the necessity
for d large total, defending the in
creases Que to an enlarging popula-
tion, and in general guarding the bill
at all points against attack. In the
filtration matter Mr.. Grout wisely
avoided arousing friction as to the
process to be employed, and thus
secured the adoption of the necessary
money provision while leaving the
choice of a system to be determined
by other and better means than a hur-
ried debate on the floor of the house.
This exhibition of good management
and fair play to all concerned has
characterized Mr.. CIRCUITS entire ca
reer as legislator, and especially
his work effecting the District of
Columbia, and it is matter of sincere
sorrow that as result of his legiti-
mate aspirations for promotion to the
senate, in pursuing which he relin-
quished his chance for re- election to
the house, the efficient public SER
want temporarily retires after March
to private life, leaving a gap which
it viii be difficult to fill 1t is to be

OLEOMARGARINE BILL.

Chairman Proctor of the senate
the senate January 26 the report of
that committee on the oleomargarine
bill. The report is favorable to the
bill, but Senator Heitfeld (Idaho)
presented a minority report adverse
to it. The majority report says:
''The bill appears to be unanimously
desired by the farmers of the country
who are engaged in dairying, and has
the earnest approval of the secretary
of agriculture. Your committee has
listened with interest to the repre-
sentatives of the live stock interests
and the cottonseed oil manufacturers,
and is unable to see in this measure
anything that can greatly injure Ell
ther.
''We have heard some objection to
this measure from organized labor,
and, while it is true that some labor
ing men may prefer as matter Of
pride, to consume oleomargarine that
is yellow instead of white, yet your
committee believes that while the
pride Of some may suffer under this
measure, which viii raise the tax in
the coloye6 and reduce it in the un-
coIored, z far greater number are now
being deceived through the sale Of
oleomargarine as butter, and at butter
prices"
The minority report is signed by
Senators Heitfeld and Money (N[iss.).
Senator Bate CTenn.) concurs in their
conclusions. They present a substi-
tute bill providing more stringent re
strictions upon the retail dealer and
for proper marking of oleomargarine,
but removing the restrictions as to
coloripg.

When the record of the current year $1,000
Closes it will be found that greater number
of stock policies have been sold within the
twelve months preceding, than in any similar
period in the history of life insurance in this
country. The non -participators have been
coming 10 the front with great rapidity. What
does this tendency mean? Does it indicate
that at some way-in- thefuture date mutual
insurance as now known will exist only in
the memory of man? There are some eXper-
fenced life insurance men that entertain such
views, and who are capable of defending them
in the teeth OF the most qualified and earnest
advocate Of the mutual plan. If such q state
of insurance affairs should some day exist,
it viii not be SO becase there has been any
thing inherently wrong in the principle of
mutual insurance, fer there isn't. Nothing
kills the idea Of mutua1ity quite so quick as
a low state of business morals, and mOrtify-
such state of affairs now ezists.-AnaericGn

VERMONT'S WORST DISEASE.

The Times has repeatedly urged
that the great hindrance to the devel-
opment and growth of Vermont is not
the unequal representations in the leg
islature and not the prohibitory law.
but the aversion of Vermonters to
tackling the resources right under
their own noses. OF late the BurIjng-
ton Free Press and the BrattIeboro
Phoenir have put forth some strong
arguments along the same line. Both
the Free Press and the Phoenir have
called attention to the recent purchase
of the extensive Ely copper mines by
inancieTs from outside the state and to
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1901-02-04

the start toward the development of
Eden asbestos deposits by Massachu-
setts capitalists. Both have asked
the question, "Why is it that Vermont
capital is not interested in these en-
terprises?"
From time TO time we hear Of GER
tain local committees and boards Of
trade trying to get outside industries
to come to Vermont. This is as it
should be, but of ten times greater
value, and ten times more certain in
result would be equally strenuous
efforts to develop what half the towns
of Vermont have right within their
own borders.
The granite of Barre slumbered in
the hills for untold ages until several
energetic young Scotcbmen came
along and with their own meagre
capital and what they could borrow
made Barre the most prosperous in
dustrial town in in terror New England
and spread the fame of Barre granite
around the world.
Not manyVermont towns, of course,
are blessed with the resources that
Barre has, but there is not town in
the state with 1900 or more inhabitants
that could not double it's business and
largely increase its population by the
simple process of using the capital in
the town to enlarge the towns indus
4,,so 4oI 90 &c,
tunities. And if these large towns
grew and prospered, the smaller ones
would in proportion.
Did you ever hear Of a western
town sending money away from home
to help build up other and rival COM
munities? On the other hand did you
ever see an energetic and ambitious
young Vermonter trying to start a
new industry in his home town and
see the discouragements placed in his
way, until he finally goes away and
makes his life struggle in some other
place aud state and that place gets
the benefit of his efforts.
Probably at this moment more than
one hundred million dollars of Ver
mont money is invested in other states
and large proportion of it does not
even pay taxes in this state.
It is perhaps true that safe invest
ment for all Of it could not be found
in Vermont, but it is not all safe
where it is. w ashingtOn county men
alone have lost more then million
dollars and probably more than two
millions in other than Vermont in
vestments during the past ten years.
These men owned their money and
could do as they chose with it, but
Vermont will never be prosperous,
growing and progressive until it ap-
plies its capital and it's bra ins to its
own resource es.-Bdrre Times.
