NEWS AND NOTES.

: the trusts, including the coal trust
have recently declared, why the

During the past session of Con
gress Mr.. Roosevelt sent to the
Senate the nominations of 2,611
postmasters. What has become of
that new "merit system" which
Postmaster General Payne so
widely advertised when he hrst
came into office!
Henry H. Morgan, United States
Consul at Aarau, advises the State
Department that American coal is
rapidly replacing the German pro
duct in Switzerland. He predicts
that in the near future the entire
Swiss demand will be supplied
from this country.
Two lots of Carnegie six inch
armor plate have failed to meet
the required tests and, according
to the contract, this is sufficient to
reject the entire lot. 1t remains
to be seen whether the Secretary
of the Navy will have the courage
to reject a large lot of plate made
by the Steel Trust.
OF what use will a new ''anti-
trust'' law prove to a Republican
administration? Under the exist
ing law the Attorney General
might have begun a criminal pros
ecution of the promoters of the
Beef Trust, but instead he brought
a civil suit so as to avoid hurting
the friends of his rarty.
Several editors have commented
adversely on the ''English" of GER
tain army officers. That is hardly
surprising to one who has any ex-
tensive acquaintance with the men
who have been appointed to the
army during recent administra-
tions. Political influence is no
guarantee of an ability to write
good English.
Mr.. e. G. Rathbone is still
promising some interesting dis
closures in regard to General
Woods administration of affairs
in Cuba, but, as Mr.. Rathbone is
an ardent friend and protege of
Senator Marcus A. Hanna, he will
probably hold his disclosures until
he thinks they can assist his friend
in securing the presidential nomin-
alton.
Some leading newspapers are
advancing opinions in regard to
the trusts which are actually social
istic. They say, for instance, that
the trusts should be made to divide
their profits with the people.
Why not strike at the root of the
evil and reduce the tariff schedules
which enable the trusts to practice
eXtortlon! No equitable redlstri,
button is possible.
General Bragg, Consul General

numerous complications are likely
to follow, while it is presumable
that the General will be more dis

The Coffee Market.

New York November 26-The market for coffee futures opened irregular at & decline of 5@15 points. and continued &C., tive and excited during the session, huct- uating erratically and finally closing net 5@1O points lower, with the total sale footing up 172. 25O bags. The chief cause of the decline was the issuance of De- cember notices, which were put out, it was said, to the amount of about 70,000 bags This caused the local longs who desired to avoid accepting the coffee called for by their contracts to throw over the nearby holdings. taking in their place the latter options The weight of this liquidation in connection with the short sale induced by the expectation of rather heavier receipts at Brazilian points in the near future and the generally weak tone of the foreign markets held values down to the low point during the forenoon session. Shortly after midday when it was supposed that the best mo- tices were taken care of there was a momentary rally, which shortly gave way, however, before fresh liquidation. The sales included November 4.40 De- cember 4.35@4 50, January 4.45@4.65, Feb ruary 465047O, March 4.75@4.S5, May 515. .O5, July 5.15Q5.25. September 5.25@ 535 October 5.35.

Cotton Letter

c. W. Lee & Co.'S Letter to H D.
 Cothran & Go.
 New York, November 26.-There was the usual sort of a market before holi- day. No one cared to be short over Thursday. and a great many concluded their Thanksgiving would be rendered nnore real by actual rather than paper profits. This tendency to even up trades kept the market irregular, March run ming from SPA to S.29 with generally a fiuctuating market within an 8 point limit. Several factors led to covering and some support. This had tendency to hold the market in the face of the bear factors. There were both kinds in evi- dence today. Rains, frost predictions, moderate receipts and that sort of thing helped the market. Unsettled stock mar ket conditions and the estimate by mem bers of the exchange were not so favor abl. Figures are collected each year on the floor, and this season the average is 11,077, GOO bales from IA members. This was by far the most important develop ment of the day. In fact, as far as fur nishing an idea of this years cotton crop 1t is the most important event of the fall That not only Is this average estimate @ safe guide as to the crop but 1t in- dieates a larger total than had been counted on early in the season This es- tluldlS never proves ID excess or the crop. This means we can figure on 11000,- GOO bales. Of course the crop may urn out very much more than this. We may get Il. .30O,00O or Il, 400, ,00o bales since the weather of October and early November was phenominal. If only 11,OOooO0 bales there Is nothing to bear cotton on at present. Later In the season if the crop is shown to be in excess of 100000, the spring level of prices is more likely to be under than over 8 cents. But this Is all in the future. We see so many points of resemblance between the market of 1892 and 1900 as to make us rather skeptical over the approaching bureau. A very bullish report is expected. We should not be surprised to find the acreage cor rected and mention made of the abnor- mally late frosts in a way that will permit the department to place the crop over 10,40l000 or 10,50d,0OO bales This would be a severe disappointment to the bulls. Nearly everyone is looking for 10, . 100000 or 10300,000 at the outside Should present criticisms on the methods of the department bring about revisions and corrections to come nearer the actual yield than last year, the future market is more likely to break than to ad- vance.

New York, November 26.-Tin again ex- perienced severe break in the London market finishing the day at decline of 91, or at 9111 for spot and e110 5s for fu- lures.

Reports That a "Norther" Had Struck Oklahoma and Other Bad Reports From the Belt Stirred Things
 Up During the Day.

New York, November 2s.-The cotton market opened at decline of to points, which was but a partial response to the decline at Liverpool; expected to be matter of to sk points, but act ually to points. Later our market rallied to points as compared with the closing figures of the previous oay on adverse reports that the cotton belt as to the weather conditions and effects, 1t be- ing claimed that ''norther' has visited Oklahoma, the Indian Territory and part of Texas; that central and eastern | sections of the belt were getting too delaying plantation work and the move ment. Shorts covered freely on the rise, but with a holiday at hand, new orders were not forthcoming, and a new move ment to secure profits on long contracts caused a fresh selling movement that carried prices off quite sharply, but again the market rallied and was finally steady at a net to unchanged price to an ad- vance of points. The undertone of the market was steady on the stability of spot cotton markets of the country, re- ported to be sustained by exporters and spinners, independently Of the specula- tive movements of futures. A factor in today's market was a pressure in the way of active selling for March delivery to the extent of 3O.00O bales by one house, supplemented by the liquidation or one or two other accounts, but after this pressure was off the market rallied on general covering and some invest ment demand receipts being smaller than consistent with later crop estimates. The total sales of futures reached 3O0.000 bales.

What will strike the average layman as particularly noticeable is that while Aiken suffered as the records indicate, no fracture of the skull and scarcely even, any perceptible bruise on the head. yet from the localizing symptoms alone the surgeons were assured as to the cause and seat of the trouble, and so ventured confidently upon what we most earnestly hope will be a success full treatment.
 This marvellous age can show no great CT marvel than the physiological learn ing and faculty for making use of 1t that were invoked to save Midshipman Aiken.
