Mnw orleana Market.

New Orleans, September 24.-The over
cast sky and poor lights in sample rooms
offered little encouragement during the
first part of the day, to buyers TO go
about their customary work OF inspect
ing the various tables of spot cotton laid
out by factors. But there was some
slight inquiry and a scant bit of trading
nevertheless The demand, under the
best of circumstances, would hardly nave
been brisk, as buyers are disposed TO
hold off somewhat ON account of the un-
favorable position of Liverpool and the
marked tendency toward London level
displayed by the contract market.
Sales 1150 bales, including 450 to ar
rive Quotations unchanged.
The contract market today was alto
gether favorable to the short element.
Liverpool stood Sgd down on spots and
5-e4d to 7-64d lower for deliveries, evident
lv taking note of the change in the tenn
ner of the government crop condition re-
mort. On the first call under pressure or
heavy selling prices fell off to 10 points.
The decline, while somewhat rapid, was
broken, resulting from mild upward fiuc-
tuations, the operations of room traders,
and in no manner affected the general
temper of the market which was notably
pessimistic as to prices.
The continued heavy movement into
sight is bearing heavily upon the spirits
of the bulls.
The board at the close showed gain of
. points on September, net losses OF
noints on October on November and
i points on the other positions.

THE LOCAL MARKETS

The produce market was llvened yester-
day by the arrival of various fall vege-
tables, consisting Of beets, peas, beans,
turnips, pepper, etc. There was also quite
a consignment of sweet potatoes and
watermelons received, the latter selling
from 20 to % cents wholesale.
The price of chickens is unusually high
for this time of the year, the fact being
due to large companies buying up i'm
mense quantities of chickens and putting
them in cold storage.
The local cotton market fell off several
points, and very little business was trans
acted.
There was practically no change in
local stocks and bonds. The market Is
unusually quiet.

COMMISSION SAYS
RAILROADS ARE
CORRUPT
SENSATIONAL CHARGES MADE IN
REPORT or INTERSTATE BODY
FILED IN WASHINGTON.
DECLARATION THAT HIGH OFF,
GALS. DELIBERATELY VIOLATE
THE LAW.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The 18th
annual report Of the interstate COM
merce commission was transmitted to
congress today. Referring to the re
cent investigations into the movement
of packing house products and the
movement OF grain, the commission
says
The leading traffic officials Of many
of the principal railway lines, men oe-
cupying high positions and charge
with important duties, should deliber-
ately violate the law of the land and
in some cases agree with each other to
do so; that it shoud be thought by
them necessary to destroy vouchers
and to so manipulate bookkeeping as
to obiterate evidence of transactions;
that hundreds Of thousands of dollars
should be paid in unlawful rebates to
a few great packing houses; that the
business of railroad transportation, the
most important but one in the country
today, paying the highest salaries ana
holding out TO young men the greatest
inducements, should to sucn an extent
be conducted in open disregard OF the
must be surprising and often
sive to all right-minded persons
Equally startling is the fact that the
owners of these packing houses, men
whose names are known throughout
the commercial world, should seeming
ly be eager to augment their gains
with the enormous amount of these
rebates. which they receive in plaid
defiance of the actual statute"
In regard to the relative rates on the
export of wheat and -four the com
mission says:
AT the present time grain and grain
products move from the points of ori-
gin to the seaboard generally upon Sc
cret rates. The effect of these secret
rates is to discriminate in favor of the
foreigner, to give preferences to par
ticuar shippers, and exclude from bust
ness the small operator. These rate
determinations initiate against a
great American industry"
