j. P. MORGAN CONTROLS LOUIS
WILLIE q NASHVILLE is AU-
THoRITATIvELY STATED.
GATES WILL MAKE NO TROUBLE
Road Will Be Operated In the Future
as in the Past-Mr. Morgan Said
to Be in Absolute
Control.
By Associated Press.)


New York, April 1.-THE following
authoritative statement respecting the
Louisville & Nashville situation was
made today by member OF the firm of
j. l.. Morgan Il Co:
THE public, as well as the speculative
community, should bear in mind these
three things
"First-rhere will he no corner.
"Second-There win be no contest for
control.
'Third-J Z. Morgan & Co. absolutely
control Louisville Il Nashville.
The first is assured by Mr.. Gates,
and the manner In which he has dis
posed of his stock. Mr.. Belmont's state
ments are assurances MS to the second,
and j. i. Morgan & Co. are sponsors for
the third.
Further. Louisville & Nashville viii
be operated In the future as 1t has been
In the past and there VIII be no change.
u. L. Morgan & Co. say positively
that the present status of the road is
the same as 1t has been heretofore, ex-
cept that j. +. Morgan controls and dl-
reefs absolutely and without quallnca-
ton.
Those who intimate that Mr. Gates
might possibly make trouble In the
future. or that he is In any position to
do so are much mistaken.
THE only one to be reckoned with In
the management OF the Louisville &
Nashville Is Mr., Morgan. If that fact
is borne in mind, there win be no mis-
understanding and no need OF guess
ing.
''The situation Is controlled by him
and that should be sufficient guarantee
to every one"

One OF the questions asked Mrs. Lyles
in the attack upon her was:

In your own house?'
Mrs. Lyles has coorless face and Is
mild OF speech, though evidently not
mild of spirit but a pink glow family

his expression. Pierce and Charles
watched her intently.
"He did not" she answered hotly. ut

New York, June 17.-Our market
opened with sales of July at soc, and
after selling at S.50@8.51c, ruled at
S.52c at p. m. Liverpool advices this
morning were really better than gem
orally expected. and we thought that
prices would open some four to five
higher but it soon became evident that
there was a good deal of cotton hang
ing over the market, and as soon as
word came in that there had been rains
at various points in Texas, prices be-
gan to break and continued their down
ward course practically to the close of
the market. There was very heavy
realizing in July and August by the
bulls, but conservative houses and
those connected with spot cotton and
the spinning business were very free
buyers of both July and August. At
p. m spots We're reduced a sixteenth
only for the reason that spinners are
willing to pay full prices for any de-
sirable lots running from strict low
middling to strict middling. We think
viewing the whole cotton condition
that the decline has been too rapid, and
that it will be safer to be conservative
as this is only the middle of June, and
the crop has to go through many Wis
cissitudes before the crop is made. The
weekly weather report was construed
to be very good and therefore bearish

stampede to sell and broke prices

on Texas, but is yet to be seen how
far prices can yet be depressed even
on the most brilliant crop prospects

are of the opinion that no matter how
the crop may improve there is no pos
sibility of an immense yield since win
ter rains have been so deficient. There

the opening on covering of shorts but
distant months were weak Selling
