that 1t will be perpetual. that 1t will last as
long as the government lasts. 1t will per-

The police trial board held a session in
the Police Court building this afternoon
to consider charges against several police
men. Detective Lacey OF the central bu-
reau. charged with conduct unbecoming an

ton had been completed in the civil courts
.Lacey could not be tried by the trial board.
The question was taken under considera-
ton by the board and the case was con-
tInued.
Private Ovid Crouch Of the Anacostia
substatiOn was before the board on
charge Of using disrespectful language to
his superior officer. Sergt. Anderson. The

The World Of
Finance and Trade
NEW YORK COTTON


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 22-The market
this morning was even narrower than yes
terday. No progress was made OF impor-
lance as a result Of two hours business,
prices being the same at the end Of that
time as at the opening Of the session. In
addition fluctuations were, less extensive.
Tne December and January options moved
barely four points during the morning. This
helped discourage professionals. and the
subtraction of that trade left the market
with practically no business. There was
the routine business selling by the south
ern and arbitrage trading, but commits
sion houses had SO littie acknowledgement to
offer traders that the trade in this quarter
diminished to merely nominal proportions.
The nearer the month approaches notice
day the more important becomes the ques-
ton of the October position. Here in New
York 1t Is generally believed that notices
OH fully 1900 or 100000 bales will be Is
sued. Will the speculative houses now hold
ing october houses not primarily cotton
houses take. or make arrangements to take,
all this cotton and the additional stock that
Is pointed this way? In the uncertainty II
Is not surprising that operations are of
cautious and OF most conservative ma
ture. The question is of such Importance
that no stand on the future of the market
can be taken without regard to its answer.
An attempt to market such a line of con-
tracts would precipitate decline regard
less OF the future course Of prices. On the
other hand the taking up of SO much cotton
while 1t might end in heavy losses to the
pool could not but have stimulating effect
on the market itself. however ephemerai
that effect might prove. There Is at the
moment little upon which to base ideas OF
values. Should the crop prove as short as
advices now tend to show present prices
cial even during the marketing season.
1t will be some weeks before sentiment on
the crop crystalizes In the meantime the
forced liquidation of futures or the running
in Of speculative shorts could cause tenn
the moment to all market interests, though
only surface movement when viewed from
the standpoint of the season as a whole.
Next week the question Of the intention OF
holders will be determined.
In the meantime scattered interests in
October ale liquidating and transferring
their holdings to distant options. Some
holders have refused to sell and announce
their willingness to stand by the purchaser
until later on in October. when more in
formation on the outlook can be obtained

NEW YORK. September 2-There have
been no more interesting railroad securities
In the market this year than the stocks and

Importance TO the outcome Of the Georgia
legal proceedings to ascertain how the So
0O6000 of common stock Is held The Louis
vile and Atlantic Coast line are affording
pretty subjects for conjecture as to the
possibility of closer relations with the al
most inevitable certainty Of increased re-
tuEns to stockholders of both properties in
prospect for the near future. Southern
prosperity and nothing else is at the bot
tom of all these questions that have arisen.
and this prosperity is attracting attention
to the Southern railway. whose stock be-
came particularly prominent in the market
this week.
There seems to be something stirring OF
Importance to these shares. but SO far con-
lecture has gone no further than to sug-
kest that the $4,000. 0OO Of per cent nom
cumulative preferred stock is to be retired
or $40 900 eco Of common stock cut in two,
or that both operations are contemplated
1t Is said that per cent bond would
probably prove acceptable to the preferred
stockholders. and the effect of such meth
cd of retirement would be on the face Of 1t
moro available for dividends on the COM

outstanding were reduced to $6O.OOO.OO0
about per cent q year would be shown on
1t now on the basis Of average balances ap-
plicable to dividends on the common in the
last five years.
There has. however, always been some
question over the company's report to retire
its preferred stock. Provision for the in
crease or decrease Of any class of stock was
authorized by the Virginia act of February
20, 1904, to be made on the reorganization
plan or with the approval of a majority of
stock at q meeting. When the certificates
for common and preferred stock were is
sued that year nothing was said in them
regarding the redemption of the preferred.
but on October 49,, 1894, the purchasing
committee in reorganization and the voting
trustee made the agreement under which
the present voting trust certificates were
issued, and this agreement provided that the
company might at any time exercise any
charter right" to retire the preferred stock
at par for cash.
