ROOSEVELT AND THE TRUSTS.

It IS said that President Roosevelt intends to fight
the trusts all summer and then make them the leading
issue hefcIe Congress next winter.
Noitier Mr.. Roosevelt the adjutants he has Sc
Iected intend join the demagogues and professional
corporation smashers he believes that is possible
to enact wise and conservative laws that viii properly
regulate the trusts
The purpose is not to smash them because most men
admit that the is development of the tendency
Of the age be destroyed but to regulate
them that politically. economically and morally they
will not be dangerous.
The President has started out most commenda-
bic mission. He win, of course have to face Wall
street. the people Will be with him. His supporters
that he will go ahead and do what he thinks to be
right and allow consequences to take of them
selves. He will sign law that has received the
Endorsement of the trusts. That would be a If
any law is enacted it be law that really
something and which will accomplish suits.
1t looks though the President destined to
become lively factor in the government Everything
has conspired make him of free-ance in
ing affairs Being of joint already with his
party he may conclude strike and do what
to be his duty hit where it may
Since the Sherman law passed form of
trusts has been born and the law which that time
was of some value has now become obsolete. If the

CHARLES EMORY SMITH ON RECIPROCITY.

In the Saturday Evening Post exPostmaster General
Charles Emory Smith Of the keenest of Observers
writes interesting review Of the Of the last
session Of Congress Referring TO the struggle for
Cuban Reciprocity Mr. Smith gives impression that
it failed principally because of poor policy adopted by
its friends in the Senate in urging its passage He

Philippine incident is practically closed and it was
sealed for good by Rooseveits Fourth Of July proca-

all the long political debates of the Congress just closed
except as it affected Cuba AS for the Trusts Presi-
dent Roosevelt having selected Of the most eminent
attorneys Of the country assist the Attorney General
in making up cases against trusts hardly think there
will be much political interference Or attempted party

the fact that Congressman Long in having been the

Prices made some headway af- ter the opening on expectation of a move- rnen+ during the coming week on de- creased scale and nervousness Of shorts. The Chronicle dry goods report TOT the week says that the greater difficulty IS exnerienced In placing orders, that the ma~ket continues poorly supplied with merchandise and that the tone Of the roorket is strong and the general ten de,.cv of prices is against buyers.
 The weather report says conditions have heer more favorable, the temperature has been generally higher, rains Tell in most sactions hut was moderate as rule.

LITTLE IN SOUTHERN NEWS

New York March 15-The cotton mar higher to l point lower and for time after the call was quiet without change of consequence. The Liverpool cables were quite as expected, reporting futures as 1 to 2 points net higher and spot cot ton unchanged. Port receipts were light about 1900 bales against 2O,3s4 last year. Bulls and bears alike were indisposed to materially alter their leations to the market pending definite news from Fall River as to the strike situation. There was little in Southern private advices to influence the market and orders in the hands of commission houses were too scattering to be of much consequence. Wall Street and scalpers were light buy CTS later in the first hour on the basis of S.S9 for July. Talk of a smaller 'in- sight" quantity than last year was coun- teracted by disposition to increase crop estimates.
 The market for futures closed barely steady net unchanged to points lower.

conference and that a strike on Monday was almost sure, an easier tone was oc- casioned, and a recession of few points followed.
 The movement of cotton shows ten dency to moderate, and this fact serves to augment favorable sentiment, but in view of the unsatisfactory turn of affairs at Fall River at a time when exceptional activity in trade was thought to dispel the remotest probability of conflict be- tween spinners and their employees, makes traders deubly disposed toward conserva- tism.
 It is very likely that the market will be in a nervous mood until settled con dition is established In that quarter.
