One of these was from a number of at

Washington, April IA letter from

today by Representative Ray of New

letter dated April y to the attorney

thorough investigation to be made by
one of the district attorneys of the
United States for the purpose of as

ton existed, and where if so its opera

statute"
Continuing the report says: 1T is
apparent from this correspondence that
there is no necessity for the adoption of
the resolution. By reason of the wide
spread notoriety of the matter, the at
torney general Of the United States has
already ordered a thorough investiga-
ton. There is no doubt he will per-
form his duty and prosecute all offend
ers, if offenders there be.
TT is evident that he should not be re-
quired to give in detail the steps al

those who are violating the law and en-
able them to conceal evidence.

Another year Of prosperity is con-
hdentiy expected in financial circles rs
is evinced by the following from Henry
Clews' Weekly Review There Is fair
reason to hope that in spite of ocea-
sfonal signs of reaction we shall have
another year OF prosperity. Consump-
tion Of all kinds of manufactured prod
ucts is still going on at an unpreceden-
ted scale. ana high prices do not yet
seem to have checked demand. Railroad
earnings continue to show liberal gains
over the phenomenal returns of last
year; and if the harvest of 1902 should
prove to be an average one general
business is likely to continue on a lib
era1 scale. While the winter wheat crop
report shows a considerable decline in
condition. compared with December, the
indications are still for a good sized
crop. Very likely the first real setback
VIII come in Wall street, which viii be
the first to feel the effects of OVERRIDING
and the first to anticipate any reaction.
It is perfectly true, however, to say that
Wall street does not feel any apprehen-
Eions on that score: on the contrary
there is a feeling of reasonable optim-
ism in the street. which is quite 1ikelv
to be reflected in a higher range Of
prices. As we have said before. good
investments are exceedingly scarce and
there is plenty Of money to invest: 50
that while prices are high it is fmpos
sibIe to say they cannot go higher un-
der favorable conditions"
