PRESIDENT swINNEYs SPEECH.

Responding to the welcome, President F. E.
Swinney OF the association declined the keys
Of the city" on behalf OF his brother bankers, to
keep their regulations inviolate should things be
missing after they had gone He continued in
part:
We have cause to congratulate ourselves upon
the abundant evidence that the last year has bean
in the main marked by prosperity in all lines of
business, and comparatively few bank failures have
occurred All such periods. have, however pro-
duced feeling of overconfdenoe and led to the
floating of unsound industrial enterprises. The
few bank failures OF the last year are mostly
traceable to loans made to such enterprises
their promoters. The present statutory pro-
visions Of the national banking act limiting loans
to any one individual. firm or corporation TO 10
per cent of the capital stock Of the lending bank
seem 70 be inadequate would recommend a
loan one-tenth OF their combined capital and sur
plus 10 individual, firm corporation, and
provide suitable penalties for any bank violating
the law. At the time would recommend
that any funds passed to surplus DO reported TO
the Controller of the Currency, and be not there
after allowed to be in any way impaired under the
same penalties and conditions a prescribed
for impairment OF capital stock. These amend
ments would tend to the incentive to excess
loans and also provide larger loaning power to
the banks

Dubuque. Jan. 19.-The report that
the Mississippi river would have moth
ing to work for if improved seems
absurd to river men, especially at this
time. when the compilations Of the past
years business have practically been
completed.
The work at this port was done by
Bart Lehman. who accomplished the
same task twenty-five years ago. Mr..
Lenihan's findings show that 100000
net tons of freight We're handled at
Dubuque thru the river facilities.
One OF the questions asked by the
river and harbor committee of the ma
tional congress was: Does the ton
mage Of the Mississippi river warrant
the extensive Improvement" The
data is being collected. The 100000
tons of this city is exclusive of the
enormous lot that was handled by the
railroad companies.

LIKE HEPBuRN's RATE BILL.
President and His Advisers Think !,
Will Become a Law.


Will Become Law.
| Washington, Jan. 10. - President
Roosevelt is satisfied that congress will
enact law pertaining to the regula-
| ton of interstate railway rates during
the present session. He is satisfied.
moreover that the law will be n good
one, that ii will place in the hands of
proper government officials adequate
authority 20 prevent eXtortions and
| determinations and at the same time
guarantee to the railways Il reviewing
tribunal Which will protect the inter-
ests of those corporations.
The president has devoted a great
deal of his spare time for several days
to study and analysis Of the bill drawn
| by Colonel Hepburn of Iowa. He has
submitted 1t to Secretaries Taft and
Morton and Attorney General Moody.
and now regards it as the best meas
| ure of it's kind that has been drafted
by anybody.
| All the presidents advisers do not a
gree about the details of Colonel Hep
burns bill, and most of them have
suggested amendments. These sugges-
| tons will be submitted to Colonel Hep
burn and by him to the committee on
Interstate and foreign commerce next
week Colonel Hepburn intended to
introduce his bill yesterday, but be-
cause the president was not through
with it deferred It's introduction.
Must Not Initiate Rates.
| The president is refusing to yield to
advisers who are urging him to stand
| for a law that will permit the inter-
| state commerce commission to initiate
| railroad rates. He tells all these men
| that he has not altered the views which
| he expressed on that subject in his re-
| cent message to congress. wherein he
stated that he was not prepared to ad-
yocate such a broad grant of power to
the conn ission. The president feels
that such a course would be too radical
and drastic and might precipitate con-
sequences vastly more unfortunate In
their results on conditions than the ex-
listing evils which he is seeking to
cure.
The raj road commissioners of half a
dozen western and northwestern states
have Joined in urging that the inter-
state con merce commission be vested
with the power to initiate rates. Dur
ing the day the commissioners of Min
nesota made a strong plea Tor such
power, but the president assured them
that he did not deem it wise or exped-
| lent to go as far as they suggested.
Railway Men lndorse Hepburn Bill.
Railroad officials who have ascer-
tanned the principal provisions of the
Hepburn bill, while contending that
there ought to be no legislation at this
session, admit that the Hepburn terms
| are not likely to cause the railroads
hardship They say that the provision
for a reviewing tribunal is SO mani
testify far and adequate, that the rail-
roads can not seriously object to the
measure

DEMAND FAIRLY ACTIVE
Good Cattle Are Selling Readily
at the Recent Advance
In Prices
SHORT FED GOING SLOWLY
There Was an Especially Strong De-
mand for Good Heavy Feeders, Prc-
es Ruling Weak for Common Grades
Hogs Barely Steady at Shade
Lower Prices-sheep Were Active.

Chicago. Jan. 19-Cattle-The, gen.
eral demand was active and good fat
are selling readily at recent advance,
with scarcity OF choice steers. Hair
fat and short fed are moving moder-
ately, prices ruling weak and largely
10 lower. There is an especially strong
demand for the good heavy feeders.
Arrivals in the first half of this week
have totaled $3.50, against 6s,3S4
week ago and 64,274 Il year ago. and
this smaller run of late has aided gen.
eral trade considerably, though with
the exception of a scarcity of well-tin-
ished steers, offerings have been fully
sufficient to fill buyers needs, and while
a fair run today and Friday will likely
find SALE tone of present trade does
not warrant very liberal offerings.
Hogs.
Trade was a little slower than usual,
prices ruling 21s M5 lower on an aver
age, bulk of sales, $450@4.60.
A good many hogs were left over
Yesterday. Late bought droves We're
the cheapest. Packers made deter
mined effort to keep the average cost
down to that of Tuesday and in a gem
eral way succeeded. Armour bought a
few yesterday at practically Tuesdays
prices.
The quality of the hogs was general
ly fair, but the weights were gem
orally light and medium. There has
been a very liberal proportion OF 10y
to 200 pound stock lately and it is very
evident that feeders in the country
have not enough faith In the future
market to continue feeding young
shoats at present, as in cold weather
they leave no margin on the present
basis of cost of feed and price OF hogs
Sheep.
There was an active general demand
and prices, were firm.
Popularity in buying circles was with
handyweights of all kinds. Few export
orders have been on the market this
week, a fact that has affected heavy
sheep. More life is expected to this
trade q short time hence.

The Horse Market.

There were material changes in de-
mand or prices for all commercial
classes as compared with the previ-
Gus sales of the week, particularly for
the best offerings. The mild weather
and apparently early indication Of
spring operations on the farm have
stimulated increased demand for farm
chunks A feature of the rural de-
mand is the large number of farmers
in the market making purchases. The
preference is given to blocky mares
weighing 1900 to 1,400 pounds at $3.50

grades fairly active at S125@160. There
