CALCULATING TIENTSIN.
Agreement Of the Powers to With
draw Troops.

1t Is true. as reported from Pekin, that
the influence of the American government
has been exerted tngsecure the early with
drawal Of foreign troops from Tientsin.
Having withdrawn dur own troops already,
our government con do nothing further
In that direction than to use moral suasion
upon the other powers. 1t is stated here
that this hassibeen effectual to the extent
that every nSIof DE powers has assented
to the proposition Ia withdraw the troops
even Germanyo whteh Is now represented
as halting. Waile there have been no very
recent exchanges, on this subject. a few
weeks ago the German government was
sounded. and readily responded that it in
tended to withdrawals troops Just as soon
as 1t had secured what 1t regarded as neces-
sary guarantsks. and had satisfied itself
that disorder would not follow to the jeop-
ardy OF foreigners In Tien tsin. So, as 1t
is understood -herc..the question is simply
one of judgment as to the time Of with
drawal: the 6hitsd States. with most of
the other powers, Believes that the time is
now; the German government is delaying
for the reasons specified. not in themselves
sufficient to give rise to any serious fric-
ton.

CORLISS BILL HEARING
ADVOCATES OF MEASURE BEFORE
HOUSE COMMITTEE.
Former State Food Commissioner Gros
venor of Michigan Subjected to
Rigid Questioning.

The pure food proposition, which Is being
considered by the House committee on
commerce. was the subject of another
hearing before that body today. Two ad-
yocates of the Corliss bill took up the time
of the committee. The first speaker was
commissioner of Michigan, and who now
represents the Association of Manufacture
ers and Distributors OF Food Products, an
organization of manufacturers of jelies
Jams, pickles etc. He also represented the
Picklers' and Preservers Association of
Pennsylvania Mr.. Grosvenor took issue
with DR.. Frear, who testified yesterday In
advocacy of the Hepburn bill.
There were, he declared, but two ways
to legislate on the subject of food adultera-
tion. One was by enacting a law which
enumerated every article of food and the
ingredients of which each article should be
made up; the other was by authorizing
national food inspector who should have
authority to send subordinate inspectors
throughout the country, examine at ram
dom foods exhibited for sale and wherever
any was found which contained adultera
tionS which were injurious to health, pro-
ccedingS should at once be begun to con-
denim and confiScate the food. This latter
proposition. he said. was the intent of the
CorlisS bill. which he advoca ted. This bill,
he said, had been drawn up by the aSsocia-
tiun he represented, had been approved by
the Wholesale Grocers' Association of New
York city and also by the National Retail
Grocers' Association.

Grafton Mr.. Hepburn criticised the bill
the ground that its provisions for con-
demning food also provided that the con-
demned food should revert to the govern
ment which should sell it. He said this
would entail endless condemnation and
sale Of the same products. The witness
answer Ia this was that it was not the pur-
pose of the bill to have the food reSOld by
thc government as food. He said it might
be nails or phosphate or anything else for
which it could be used except for food.
To show the imposSibility of carrying in
to effect a law which required food prod
ucts to ne branded under directions of a
national food inspector commissioner
MIR GroSvenor cited the state laws of Mich
igan, Ohio, Indiana. and Illinois, which, he
declared were precisely the same in YER
biage. and which contained provisions of
this kind. Each state, he said. had food
inspector who promulgated under the law
the various brands under which food could
be sold: that food compounded and brand
ed under the rules promulgated by one
state inspector were absolutely prohibited
from being sold in one of the other OF
those four states under the rules prOmul-
gated under the same law by the inspectors
of those states.
This was not universal he said, but in
stances of this character were common.
He declared that If a national food in
spector were created and should promul-
gate what various foods should be COM
pounded of and how they should be brand
ed that such a promnlgati ton might easily
be construed to conflict with state laws
and thus prohibit the sale of certain ar

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New Ycrk, June 23-There was an ad- vance of 10 points in early cottcn this morning. The mere fact that no rain had occurred in Texas as looked for caused decided nervousness. Liverpool was be- ing impressed by American claims of the Texas crop being ignored and shorts were rather nervous A
 As matter Of fact, Texas has been holding up remarkably well, but 1t Is a question now long the crcp will stand the droulh. The situation there Is the chief sustaining factor,
 Atlantic states conditions are generally fine, and all ctions outside Texas are believed to Show Ten arkaoly fine crop pro spects. Good Texas ram would break the market today. wfile tthe protraction of the drouth will undoubtedly improve prices materially. Some Texas reports his morning were rather alarming, but 1t vas noteworthy that the sections send ing most doleful reports were admitting the possibility of fine crop should rain fall within few days. While some re- ports went 5 far to concede the pos sibility of a bumper crop, big, rains at Galveston and Weldon. N. C., were re- ported for Sunday. The forenoon market ruled Hull but quite steady. Final cables were higher for old crop months Only fcur Texas stations reported rains on Sunday from .o5 to 07 per inch. Ports to- day 5o00; last year 9s00.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-06-24

quite consistent with this information Near deliveries were quoted about two points higher than Saturday, though new crop positions were a shade lower Spots improved ne-thirty-second with sales of 10,00O bales
 A fair advance was established here but traders were Iet stirred to activity by the news from Liverpool on account of reports of rains in several sections of Texas since Saturday. which were expect ed to exert an adverse influence, but the failure of the government to confirm precipltations at a number of points, serv- ed to keep desirous sellers In check and a steaoy tone prevailed.
 Closing quotations are ten to fourteen points higher than Saturday. The pres ent quiet condition of the market Is due in q large measurc to the belief pre- vaIing amongst many that the weather durlug June has no significant bearing on the ultimate size of the crop. July and August are regarded as the critical months prior to the frost period there fore there is no disposition to act free ly on immediate developments though the impression obtains that Texas has not received rain In satisfactory quantity and this fact of Itself serves to contribute a steadiness to tho tone. This is not the time to draw fixed conclusions, and the undecided state for some days to come.
