standstill. The Seguin had struck the
Venice fairly amidships, and plowed its
way half through the boat. The crew
and passengers aboard both boats heard

WILL FIGHT THE TRUST.
Commission Merchants May Go After
the Banana Trust,

The commission merchants from Min
neapolis who attended the annual meet
ing of the National League of Commits
sion Merchants of the United States re-
turned from Philadelphia yesterday.
The organization at their meeting con-
sidered the advisability of fighting the
banana trust but after a careful cOnsid-
Grafton of conditions decided that the
time was not ripe at present to carry the
night to successful ISSUE
The banana trust at the present time
control, and have a complete monopoly
on all the good grades of bananas, and if
merchant wants good goods he has to
buy from the trust and pay their prices
for them. 1t is claimed to be the most
arbitrary monopoly in existence, and any
one dealing with them has no recourse
whatever from their laid-down rules and
regulations.
The matter will be considered for a
year, and will again be brought up at the
annual meeting of the association which
will be held in Chicago next January.
Nothing short of a complete national or
ganization, and one that would stand and
fall together can reasonably hope to cope
with the banana trust, and if such ar
rangementS can be made where they
may have reasonable show for success,
the 6ght will be taken up.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: The January thaw'
in prices arrived this week and securities,
food products, particularly the cereals,
pork and dairy products, coffee and sugar
among the groceries, and copper among
the metals, have all weakened and close
lower on the week The causes for this
movement have been in many cases
technical and the general trade situation
has not as whole been weakened. IF
anything, in fact, improvement may be
expected to follow, a striking example
of this being i'll the cereals. M
High prices have killed 1off support
trade, but this seems to have revived
this week on the decline. In distributiva
trade the situation has certainly improv-
ed. A larger spring business has been
done in cotton and wooden goods. Ad-
vices from the West are Of an enlarged
spring jobbing business and collections
remain satisfactory.
Among tie industries iron and steel
is still easily first in the volume Of new
business and in production although the
car shortage is shown to have materially
reduced the December output of pig iron.

and the same is true of steel billets
Copper has been cut to the bone this
week and lie is the nominal price, but
claims are made of sales as low as 1Olhc
without any particular improvement in
demand reported, although exports are
large.
The boot and shoe industry looks for

go higher.

Flour acted in sympathy with wheat, and
also a better export demand appears to
have been evoked. Corn and oats went
lower in sympathy, but these cereals are
still above export demand
