and S. w. Gillian, of Baltimore, the
Finnigin- Flanagan Man.
Mr.. Reese also has an article in

the pinnacle OF good magazine litera.
ture. Not only are its contents of the
highest standard, but it is one of the
most beautiful little magazines pub
lished. 1t set the pace for railroad
magazine literature in September,
1897, and has been followed by var
ious similar publications. A unique
feature OF It's advertising pages is, that
its entire space Of fly leaves used for
that purpose, is devoted entirely to
one subject, /. e., The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad AMI the Royal Blue

has rapidly increased day by day. and

Recent Squabble In Government
Printing Office Causes President to
Define His Policy.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 21.-President
Roosevelt has made applicable to all
departments of the government ser
vice the principle he enunciated at
the time he reinstated William A. Mill
Ter to the position in the government
printing Office, from which Miller had
been dismissed because of a disagree
ment with the bookbinders' union.
The president has plainly stated to the
members of his cabinet that that prin-
ciple is to indicate the policy of the
president" in similar cases.
The president authorized the publi-
cation of letter which was sent to
each member of his cabinet on July %.
The letter was signed by Mr.. Barnes.
and is as follows:
MY Dear Sir: The president di-
reefs me to send you herewith, for
your information, copies of two letters
sent to Secretary Cortelyou with ref
erence to the government printing Of
fee, which define the attitude of the
administration in connection with the
subject discussed. They are sent to
you for your information and guild
ance, as they indicate the policy of
the president in this matter"
The letters to Secretary Cortelyou
were written on July 10 and IA Thu
salient sentence Of the first letter was:
There is no objection to the en-
ployes of the government printing Of
flee constituting themselves into
union II they SO desire, but no rules or
resolutions of that union can be per-
mitted to override the laws of the
United States, which 1t is my sworn
duty to enforce"
In the letter of the 14th the presi-
dent quoted the finding of the anthra-
cite strike commission regarding the
employment of labor as follows:
1T is adjudged and awarded that no
person shall be refused employment
or in any way Disseminated against
on account OF membership or non
membership in any labor organization,
and that there shall be no discrimina-
ton against or interference with any
employe who Is not a member of any
labor organization by members of
such organization.
Concerning this principle the presi-
dent wrote:
ut is, of course, mere elementary
deceney to require that all the gov
eminent departments shall be handled
in accordance with the principle thus
clearly and fearlessly enunciated."

Baxter 6. Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, February 2.-The market this morning was of character as might be expected when the pubic are uncertain what view to adopt respecting the prevailing crop accounts. Cables were just as expected and that means the changes were too trifiing to influence our market either adversely or favorably. Our opening was in a slightly lower di- rection but despite this the undertone was of decided confidence in the long run. Weather conditions were fair, the only rainfall of importance being at vicksburg. Receipts were being watched very closely and already last week 1t was known that we should have to contend with very bearish comparison this week, still there is no dismay in the bull ranks and the resumption of a forward movement In the market is taken as a matter of course. especially as surround ings are so bullish in many respects. Port receipts today were 32, 900 bales, last year 3O,OOO. Room traders were in control all the forenoon and the amount of business was very small and both factions simply held back until the present week has gone by, when there is belief we shall witness greater activity. Cables were to pints lower.

COTTON MARKET
 OPENS AT A DROP Interior Receipts Show Ten-
 dency to Expand SPOT MARKETS DRAGGING Despite a Disposition Towards ouie- tude at the Beginning Buyers Be-
 gan to Operate and Sales
 Were 100000 Bales.
SPOT MARKETS DRAGGING

New York. February 2.-The cotton market opened quiet at a decline of 1 point, under selling for both accounts, which was chiefly encouraged by the outlook for receipts. The early estimate for the ports pointed to a movement of about 29.000 bales as compared with l9.- S67 bales last year, and the interior re- ceipts also have recently shown an ex- banding tendency. New orleans showed disposition to drag after the call, and Liverpool, where the market opened un- changed and advanced E to 11s cents also declined, closing about points lower. The weaker tone resulting rrom these influences was responsible for a decline of from to points on the active option from which the market was rallied to- ward the close by buying by room shorts and commission houses with the list fin ally steady at net decline of to Q points. The estimates for New Orleans and Galveston for tomorrow had much to do with the midday selling the ex- pectations for New Orleans being 12,0e0 to 1sO0O bales against $500 last year, while Galveston looks for 16,oOO to 1000 bales, against 10197. Aside from the movement thes news had bullish aver ages. The southern spot markets were held at unchanged prices. Liverpool re- ported spot sales of 12.000 bales and news from various dry goods markets, includ- ing Manchester, was distinctly encourag- ing. It was on these phases of the situ- ation and on the theory that the re- cent liquidation has pretty well cleaned out the weak long interests, that to- days buyers were operating. Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.

New or,.ans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, February 2-The market for spot cotton was very dull today. The weather was overcast and satisfactory in- spections were difficult. The present atti- tude of Liverpool, which shows a leaning towards lever values in the face of ta- vorable trade reports, had cut out. the transatlantic demand in great part and the big end of the business now being done is fer purposes of speculation. The sales were 1900 bales, including 75e to a'- rive. Quotations unchanged Free selling by Texas and unfavorable Liverpool were the influences which developed an easter feeling in the market for contracts to- day aIter opening shade above Satur- days range prices fiuctuated a few points either way, with a slight leaning toward lower prices the board at the close show ing net losses of 3 to 4 points

cothran G Co.'s New Orleans Letter.

By C. w Lee X Co.
 New York, February 2-For a while about noon today 1t looked as though the market would break open This was due to stop loss orders and selling car ried May to SS0 and through that fig ure while March ran down to SIP and this all took place without what might i,e called free selling That is to say at no time was there a general business do- Ing. If a few thousand bales sends the market down in this way, what will hap pen when receipts continue this way for a few days? We are to have a week of rather free movement Free when com pared with light movement last year. On this comparison we are not likely to advance very much. It will mean a very strong market if prices do not react more than Ac as long as conditions fa- yor decline for the time being at least, we believe in taking that view of the market. There is really nothing to induce buying at this level And with receipts this week likely to run 100000 bales over last year, there is more on the selling thon on the buying side. The fact that prices have to be held by Artificial bull ing each day is not good sign. If the market can't go up on strong a po- sition, there is likely to be a change on any change In the movement.
 It is good price and when we know that the figures this week are against the market the position is comparative ly simple. There is every lnducement to take profits and hold off for this week In the event of sharp break at the opening tomorrow, we would buy for quick profits, but we would take pro- fits on fire reaction looking to lower prices later in the week.
