COTTON Futures Caused Great Ex-
element mt the Exchange.
New York. Dec. 2S.-New high rec
ord prices were made amid the great
est excitement at the very opening Of
the Cotton Exchange to-day.
First prices were at an advance of
2Sq5l points. Before the call was
fairly completed March had sold at
I40lc, May at 14.2Oc, and July at 14.14c.
The advance followed the surprising
strength at Liverpool, where prices
were II to 20 points higher at the time
OF the local opening instead of a shade
lower as expected, with private ca
bles aseribing gains to heavy buying
for continental, Egyptian and Amerf-
can accounts.
The early market was active and ex-
cited. There was tremendous buying
Tor both accounts, with New Orleans
supporting just enough to add to the
apprehension of shorts, who were APP
parently in a panic-stricken condition.
But realizing, too, was very heavy and
after the call prices showed a declin-
ing tendency, sagging off several points
from the best during the first fifteen
or twenty minutes, although the mar
ket continued very feverish, with most
of the selling by. parties having profits
to take.
After fiucutating very irreguIarly for
a time. about 10 TO Is points under the
best prices of the morning, the mar
ket turned very strong again in the
early afternoon, reaching still higher
prices on all the active months.
The excitement was intense. There
was liquidation on every fresh upward
movement, and toward the close the
market sagged off a few points, but
was finally firm at a net advance of As
to SO points. Sales were estimated at
1000 900 bales.

near here, work has begun upon $1,000
tons OF rails for the Fer Hamidie du
He'd JAZZ railroad which is to run from
Beirut, in Asia Minor, to Mecca, in
Arabia, the shrine of Nj ohammejahs.
The contract calls for the delivery of
the rails at Beirut at $22 IS per ton.
This is considered surprising, mas
much as the domestic price for steel
rails has been $28 per ton, loaded for
transportation at the manufacturer
plant The American concern reciev-
ed the contract after open cOmpeti-
ton with the Krupps of Germany, and
with the Belgian and English manu-
facturers. Among the railroads for
which it has furnished rails in the
past are the Western Australian, the
Chinese Eastern and the Great Siber-
IAN When it is remembered that
the products of the steel trust in this
country are protected against foreign
competition at the rate of eight dol
lars ton. this tariff bars the steel
manufacturers of Europe from COM
| peting with the American manufac-
turers. The steel trust of this coun-
try fixes the price TO the home con-
sumner at $28 per ton and after COM
peting with the old established manu-
facturers of Europe, contracts to de-
liver 20, 600 tons of steel rails in Asia
Minor for S22.88 per ton. Can any
one doubt for moment that Ameri-
can consumers are swindled by the
protective policy of the republican
party? The steel trust is large
contributor to the republican party

Assistant Attorney General Tyner of

deposed pending the Bristow investi-
cation, has written the president a
warm letter in which he insinuates
that the findings of the investigation
are unwarranted by the facts and he
makes rather severe comments on the
presidents statements which he claims
are not born out by the facts. His
proposition being that both Bristow
and the president have taken the
charges as true without allowing the
accused parties any opportunity to
show that they are not true. Perry
Heath also takes. hand along the
same line and says he does not pro-
pose to resign as secretary of the re-
