Was Packed BY Railroads.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 3.-W. A.
Palmer, of the firm of Palmer & Co.,
who went to the interstate commerce
law convention in Chicago as a dele
gate from the Western Fruit Growers
association, told an interesting story
on his return about the interest the
railroads manifested in the meeting.
Il was going into the Steinway

drawn to a man standing at the door,

every one who came along, telling them
not to enter the hall, and giving the
usual talk about free speech being pro-
hibited and the rights Of American
l had never seen the man
before, and, turning to my friend, l
asked him who he was. That he
answered, is an official of the Rock
Island railroad
Mr.. Palmer declared that he under
stood many of the 400 "delegates' at
the rump convention were railroad
clerks. The doors were wdie open
and all who wanted to walk in were
given hearty welcome.

Comments On Insurance.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 3.-Insurance
Commissioner Host makes sarcastic
comments on insurance methods, as
revealed in the investigation now on.
OF the Equitable Life he says in his
report:
This company has been under the
knife for about six months, and the
scandal has seriously shaken public
confidence in life insurance generally"
Suggesting remedy, he says:
What shall be done? Let every state
enact legislation compelling life in
surance companies to make essential
distribution of their surplus annually,
after the second policy year. With such
annual distribution there must neces-
sarily follow economy in management

VAST COAL FIELD IN ALASKA.
Discovery of Great Importance te
Northwest.

CHICAGO, Nov. Sword was
brought to Chicago today that vast
fields of anthracite coal mad been
discovered in Alaska. This discov-
cry is of tremendous Importance to all
the west and northwest, as coal prices
are almost prohibitive because of
freight rates. Not the fullest I'M
portance of the find can ever be made
until the fields are fully developed and
the people Of the west are given an
opportunity to replace the bitumlnous
coal thew are now using with good,
free-burning anthracite.
The discovery was made less than
a month ago by John T. Griffith, a
PENNSYLVANIA coal expert in the en-
plov of an English syndicate which
has secured control of the Alaska
Central railway. He had been in Alas
ka only four months, and as soon as
the cable between Seattle and Sc
ward, the southern terminus OF the
railroad, was opened he made use or
it to transmit the news of his find to
the Chicago office of the railway.
The news was forwarded later by
express with samples of both anthra-
cite and bituminous, which he found
in the Matanuska mining district in
the Tanana hills, within few miles
of Fairbanks, the protected northern
terminus of the railroad.
The vein, according to the meager
information obtainable, contains
about 100000 tons of anthracite
but Mr.. Griffith maintains there are
infallible signs of it's presence all
over the Matanuska country.
The absence of vegetable matter in
both the tnthracite and the bituminous
coal is indicated by the coke that
has been produced from it, which Is
close grained and solid. The value
of this fuel in smelter mining, which
is made possible through its presence
in the gold, silver and copper mining
district, is said to be almost unmeas-
urable.
The land occupied by the coal de-
pOsits is owned by the United states
government and the development OF
| these fields is done only through the
| ,c,al methods of claim stalking and
| occupation by the settler 1t will be
| impossible for a corporation to hast
an the DEVELOPMENT Immediately for
| this reason, and as consequence the
beginning of spring is expected to
mark an unprecedented rush to Sc
ward and Fairbanks.

PERMANENT ORGANIZATION TO
BE FORMED IN COLUMBIA
COUNTY AT ONCE.
Stock Company Will Control the Out
put Of That Cereal and Hold
for Good Price.

The success of the Columbia county
barley pool, in securing 80 cents per
GENITAL for it's grain, has resulted in a
determination for a permanent organi-
zation of local barley-growers. AL
ready plans have been formulated for
a joint stock company to be known as
association.
Effort will be made to get every
grower in the county to become a
stakeholder and to pledge himself to
sell his barley only through the asso-
citation. The capital stock is to be
large enough, with what money can be
borrowed to buy the crop of any men,
Der who desires to sell it at lower
price than that fixed by the associa-
ton.
There is a growing sentiment among
the farmers to unite for their own pro-
lection They are enthusiastically TAX
ing hold of the project, and so much
progress has been made toward perma-
nent organization that it is claimed the
enterprise is already almost an assured
fact.
Similar associations in other coun-
ties are regarded as evidence of the
feasibility of the project. Grain trans
actions in the county are immense.
This year individual crops will bring
from $4,000 to $4,000.

LOOKS AS THOUGH SENATORS

LAR PATRONAGE.
Would Have Men Selected for Posi-
tions Because Of Their Ability
and Fitness.

Secretary Root has thrown scare
into republican senators by his an
nounced purpose of having the consul
lar service carried beyond the reach of
political influence. AS the civil SER
vice lines have been extended from
time to time, one bit of patronage after
another has been carried away from
the politicians, and today the consular
service is the best thing remaining.
This service is looked upon as legiti-
mate prey for senators, and occasion
ally an influential representative lands
a consular job for some friend, is the
report from Washington city.
If the consular service is brought
under civil service protection, as advo-
Gated by Mr.. Root, senators will have
little patronage left at their disposal,
beyond a few federal jobs in their own
states. The departmental service in
Washington is now all classified; army
and navy appointments are no longer
obtainable by pull, and everything de-
sirable seems to have passed beyod
the reach of the dispensers of patron

Service Would Benefit.

There is little doubt that the consul
lar service would benefit if it should
be carried beyond the reach of poll
ticians AS a whole the service today
is in splendid condition; it is probably
as efficient as the consular service of
any European country, bat there are
individual instances where hangers on,
incompetents, and other undesirable
men with pull have forced their way
into the service, and nave been no

which secured their appointments. Such
men would be barred, under a merit
SYSTEM and it is to accomplish this
very purpose that Secretary Root is
working. If he takes this question up
in all seriousness and keeps after the
president he is apt to have it his own
way, for the president thinks great
deal of Mr. Root and is tired of contin-
ual conflicts over consular appoint
ments as they are now made.

COTTON MARKET CLOSES AT THE TOP Trading Was Active and Very
 Irregular MORE DEMAND AT DECLINE Opening Was Steady at an Advance. General Tendency Was Upward
 In the Late Trading on
 Bull Support.
MORE DEMAND AT DECLINE

New York, November 16-The cotton market was active and very irregular, with prices showing a range between ex- tromes of about 20 points. The close was al practically the top point of the session or net advance of 15Q16 points. Sales were estimated at 600Vvo bales.
 The opening was steady at an advance of to points on near months which wer influenced by higher cables than ex- pected, while aggressive bear pressure developed on the call and late months were unchanged to 1 point lower. Janu- ary touched lo.75 on the call. but sold off to 1O65 inside of ten minutes, while other months also yielded to a net loss of about points under selling by bear lead CTS and scattering liquidation. Demand improved at the decline, owing to free covering by recent sellers and during the middle of the morning prices rallied or points to ease off again around mid day under renewal of bear pressure and reached a new low level for the present downward movement at 10.59 for January and 1O77 for March. This was a net de- cline of SQ9 points on the active months, and a loss of about ss points from the his record of last Friday. Covering then became the feature around these prices and while fluctuations showed con tinued irregularity the general tendency was upward in the late trading on re- ports of firm interior markets and known bull support The close was firm and within a point of top.

MONEY MARKET IS
 BECOMING NORMAL Irregular Speculative Opera
 tions Are Resumed RUSSIA CAUSES ALARM
Situation Was Factor In Depressing Foreign Markets and Also Had Effect In Local Foreign
 Exchange Market.

New York, November 16.-conditions in the money market showed evidence today of rapid return to the normal and active, and very irregular speculative operations in stocks were resumed accordingly. The further relief to the bear element by cov- ering of shorts was an important element in the market, and the aggressive oper- ations against them continued to be in special stocks which are credited with being largely in the hands of pools The movements in some of this class became so violent as to unsettle confidence again
 There was besides normal proft-taking induced by the wide recoveries from the weeks low prices. Alarming reports of conditions in Russia and the great strength of foreign exchange caused the abrupt break in the late market The opening rate for call money showed the easier conditions existing in that depart ment by the SIa per cent rate. The rate touched 8 per cent only momentarly and receded steadily to per cent. while loan operations were still actively going on The premium which has been exacted on time loans for short periods also disap- peared. and the tone for that department was also easy.
 The presence in Wall street again of the secretary of the treasury, was made , the occasion for repeated .rumors of an intention to take measures to relieve the money market. and when 1t was an- nounced in the day that the secretary had determined to return to Washington, speculative discussion readily turned to the conclusion that this indicated relief from any further apprehension of threat ening conditions in the money market. Actual developments pointed to cessa- tion of the drain on the cash reserves of the banks, this reiving them of the neces- sity of big loan contraction to keep pace with a further shrikage in reserves. The sub-treasury for two days now has contributed a small sum to the money market instead of withdrawal, and it's net withdrawal has thus far been reduced. The increased volume of pension payments is responsible for the change.
 A more important development was the rise at number of points of interior exchange on New York to a premium. At Chicago this premium advanced to 20 cents per thousand. Reports were cur rent amongst New York bankers of ad-

vices from the west that currency was ai- ready returning to the secondary reserve cities as preliminary to thu return How to central reserve cities. This movement was expected by the first week in NoVemper' and the violent counter movement ln- stead at the time was a potent factor Tn upsetting the money market. Anotner conspicuous feature of todays money oe- velopments was the spasmodic recovery ,, sterlinq exchange to a point nearly 1Ka cents on the pound above the low level of the week for sight bills. The notable easing in the money market has entirely stonned the opposing of finance bills in the market
 If was reported today that renewed re- mittances were being made of the Japan csc funds here in New York Furthermore the foreign statement for october with an increase of nearly s15,0O0,0OO in value of imports. and decrease Of over S'- GOO 900 in value of exports has resulted in a shrinkage of nearly $23,00O000 in the excess value of exports over imports Of merchandise compared with October or the preceding year. The renewal or Rus sian disturbances and their revived erect in depressing foreign markets were also influences in our foreign exchange mar ket. The foreign exchange situation, to- gether with the uneasiness caused py the feverish advices in special stocks com bined to induce the late reaction in the market. Rumors of the state Of analrs in Russia assumed an alarming cast. Ad- vances in the price of cooper lead and silver had to do with the special demon- strations of strength in the smelling and metal stocks. The whole market was swept to a lower level in the late liquida- tion and the closing was very active and weak, with many market leaders be- tween i and points lower than last night.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, s4390. GOO. United States bonds were all unchanged on call.

Lovsman 6 Co.'S Market Letter.

Predictions for a serious decline failed to materialize, although every effort was made to bring same about, red mes sages having been distributed throughout the country last night, with such an ob- ject in view. The attempt to throw the spot markets of the south into state of demoralzation only made spot holders all the more tenacious. Liverpool of fered every encouragement looking to a reaction, but the easier feeling after opening of American markets, which was due to traders fearing further pressure from Wall street closed the English market about points lower than last nights level. Nevertheless, it was mo- ticeable that the market showed great resistance to all efforts to keep March below Il cents, and as operators were indisposed to follow the decline any fur ther orders soon went to the buying side of the market and a reaction of about 20 to 25 points was established, March advancing from 1095 to 1120, finally closing at 11.23 to 11.24 compared with 11.02 yesterday.
 Weather conditions are favorable again today, fair in all districts of the belt and official forecast is for a continu- ance of such conditions for the next 36 hours. Weather conditions have been favorable for ginning and marketing the crop, and the comparatively free receipts at all ports since Friday, 314.613 bales, against 31S.536 one year ago, and proba- bilites of the census report to be pub lshed on the Fist inst, showing about S,00O,000 bales ginned to November IA, are being used as bearish arguments.
