Flood Situation at Montreal.

Montreal, Can, April 12.-The flood
situation in this city and vicinity re-
mains unchanged There is no danger
at present for the city proper, the wa
ter helng lower than Sunday, and six
feet below the top of the permanent
dixie. Across the River st. Lawrence,
at La Prairie, st. Lambert and Longeui,
which were flooded Sunday, the water
was entirely receded, but Verdun, the
municipality west of Montreal, and on
the same side Of the river, is still food
ed. The only thing now to be feared is
heavy warm rain. Trains from out
of town points are all delayed by the
floods in the surrounding country. No
lives have been lost.

probable that it will be pushed, in order
to secure test of the constitutionality

attorneys both joined in urging upon the

There is some gossip about an ef-

they are entitled to the new normal.

case REMANDED

SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN
DECISION INVOLVING VALID
ITY OF RAILWAY. MERGER a
HOLDS GOVERNMENT
HAS NO JURISDICTION
Justice Harlan Delivers Unanimous
Opinion in Case Of Minnesota VS..
Northern Securities Company
Regard It as Victory for State.

Washington. April 12.--The United
States supreme court Monday decided
the case of the state of Minnesota VS..
the Northern Securities company and
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern Railway companies, involving the
validity OF the merger of the two rail-
road companies, holding that it was
without jurisdiction and reversing the
opinion Of the court below. Justice
Harlan, who delivered the opinion, said
that the circuit court should not have
entertained jurisdiction in the case, the
effect being to remand the case to the
state courts.
Synopsis Of Opinion.
In delivering the opinion of the
court Justice Harlan cited the facts
bearing on the origin and history of
the case, saying that originally the
suit was instituted by the state in it's
own court, but that before an opinion
could be reached there it was, on
petition of the Securities company,
transferred to the circuit court for
the district of Minnesota by which
court it was dismissed. Much con-
troversy arose over the right to re-
move to the federal court, and after
hearing the case argued once the SUI
preme court ordered second hearing
on that point.
Justice Harlan called attention to the
fact that the proceeding was for the
purpose of enforcing both the state
laws and federal antitrust act, say
ing that the circuit court could not
have taken jurisdiction if only the
state statutes had been involved.
The court also refused to hold that
Minnesota's dignity or rights as a
state would be affected under article
Nv. of the federal constitution by per-
mitting the stock of corporations OF
that state to be held by an outside
corporation like the Securities COM
pany. Justice Harlan said the court
did not think that the article of the
constitution had any bearing whatever
on the question.
The opinion of the court was unani-
nous.
Victory for Minnesota.
St. Paul, Mimi, April 12.-The SUI
preme court decision in the case of Min
nesota against the merger is consid-
cred by the states legal officers a vir-
tual victory for the state, although 1t
puts the litigation back exactly where
1t was when the suit was first begun.
This was the original suit against the
merger, begun before the federal gov
ernment began it's action. 1t was trans
ferred from the state to the federal
court. Judge Lochran, in the federal
district court. took jurisdiction without

the calculation, n crop nf eleven>
Wd enc quartcr i.ilIiUu bales Is
the maximum to he expected.
How far this maximum may be-
reduced by unreasonable weather
early frosts and the increasing de-
predations of tn, boil weeviI and
other insect enemies, it Is as vet
impossible to foretell.
POSSIBLE MAXIMUM.
"But, for the sake of argument,
let us figure on the possible max
lmum not only for this season but
for the next two Or three years.
1t smy contention that, by virtue
OF a constant expansion in the
worlds requirements and the fact
that there Is no substitute for cot.
ton, and in view of the encroach-
mcnt on manufactured reserves
due to recent short crops and the
exhaustion Of reserve raw mas
terial, it would take every one of
these eleven and one-quarter mll
lion bales ii e. the maxium crop)
for at least three seasons to restore
normal parity IN the relation be-
tween raw material and manufac
tured. In support of this con-
tention | may quote from the first
of II series of articles on the cotton
requirements Of Great Britain now
being published simultaneously in
the New York Times and in the
London Times the following par.
agrarh:
list. Stated in single SEN
tence, the present position amounts
to this: The worlds supply of
cotton is no longer equal to the
worlds demand.
" end. The estimated yearly
Increase in the demand is put at
from 100000 to 100000 bales,
and not only is the present pro.
duction Inadequate, but IN another
ten years an additional 5000, 200
bales may be required. Ian :
cushire's shortage for the last
year or two may bo rut d: l.
600, 600 bales.
''For the foregoing reasons,
coupled with the fact that the
south is ina position of greater
independence than heretofore for
the exercise of sound discretion
in marketing the coming crop,
with means ct hand for holding
whatever cotton it may be con-
sidered desirable to keep off the
market, my deliberate conclusion
is that the south is abundaatlv
able and ought to fix as the min D.,
imum price fer the first move
ment of this seasons cotton 10
cents a pound. BY doing this our
planters, merchants and bankers
will be in position to get the
benefit of any rise due to climatic
or other conditions which may be
developed while the crop is being
picked.

Proclamation of lat years yield
made farin' advance of the govern
ments estimate, by Mr.. s. +. b.
Morse, then Il member of the
hrm of Daniel j. SulIy II Co.,
Mr.. Morse's estimate of the crop
this year is Of unusual interest.
Identified as Mr.. Morse had
been for many years with the fight
for fair prices of cotton, his esti-
mates of ryield not exceeding
IL, $50, 600 bales this year will
command universal attention.
Data gathered by him last year
was the foundation for the bull
campaign making possible the
vast additions to the income of
southern farmers, for the data
proved the great shortage of the
crop. In an interview published
in this weeks Manufacturers Re.
cord, MIR. Mois Sc takes the posi>
tion that excited speculation and
appalling fluctuations are not the
best means for the attainment of
fair prices to the grower. His
contention now is that the south
Is able and ought, through the use
Of Legitimate business methods, to
secure permanently fair prices
from the world spinners for a
natural monopoly. In his inter>

price for cotton" taken in con-
nection with recent interview as
to cotton conditions from Brit
ish standpoint, Mr.. Morse saws:
NO MORE STARVATION PRICES.
The business brains of the
south have now within reach every
necessary facility for the preven-
ton of any recurrent of starvation
prices for the south's great staple
without having to invoke the aid
of speculative fcrces of sort of
kind. 1t is a purley business
proposition to determine cotton
values by averaging the price of
