New York, June S.-The cotton market opened irregular at an advance of 30 points to decline of l point, the big gain being on the July option, which was once more under the influence of covering by frightened shorts and various rumors regarding a possible corner Tn that posi- tion. First sale in July was at 12c, and that position sold at 1225c on the call Later fluctuations were irregular, and there was heavy realizing for over the holiday with the new crop relatively easy, owing to favorable weather in the south. Prices during the middle of the morning were about 10 points net higher to points lower.
 After the early advance the cotton mar ket became quiet and the July option lost most of its gain under profit taking by short interest. the price receding to 12c a pound. The market closed firm at net advance of to ' points.

Moores & Co. versus the Bricklayers union--he sustained the lower court in fining the union for conspiracy to injure the plaintiffs. He enforced an injunc- tion compelling Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, to abandon 0 sympathetic strike against the Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan railway, and in the great Pullman strike of 1894 he caused the arrest, for contempt of court, of J. w. Phelan, one of tho lieutenants of Eugene V. Debs. Phelan had organized a strike against the Gin ciHnat Southern railway, and coun- seled violence. Taft sentenced him to six months Imprisonment and said:
 The gigantic character of the con- spiracy of the American Railway Union staggers the imagination. The railroads have become as necessary to the life and health and comfort of the people of this country as are the arteries of the human body, and yet Debs and Phelan and their associates proposed, by melting the em- ployes of all the railways in the country to suddenly quit their service without any dissatisfaction with the terms of their own employment. to paralyze utter ly all the traffic by which the people live, and in this way to compell Pullman, for whose acts neither the public nor the railway companies are in the slightest degree responsible, and over whose acts they can lawfwully exerice no con- trol, to pay more wages to his em- ployes. The purpose, shortly stated was to starve the railroad companies and the public into compelling Pullman to do something which they had no lawful right to compel him to do. Certainly, the starvation of nation cannot be a lawful purpose of combination, and it is utterly immaterial whether the pur- pose is effected by means usually lawful or otherwise"

most important factor has been the eheapening of the cost of transportation by the construction of pipelines At first these lines were experimental, and 1t was a serious question for a time whether the large amount of money in- vested in them would not be lost. It was this company which established delivery tanks in all parts of the world filling them by the use of tank-cars, and mak- ing distributions to the retailer by the assistance of tank wagons, thus saving the cost of a smaller package. It is an established fact that, with the decrease in tho supply of timber available for the manufacture of barrel slaves, 1t would have been impossible today to pre- vide sufficient barrels for transporting oil to the various markets of the world. Hence the creation of the delivery tanks.
 It has been the constant aim of the Standard oil company to increase the uses of petroleum so as to utilize the surplus product. It undertook the manufacture of oil-consuming stoves, lamps and even of wicks for the lamps, so that it might supply these at cost, and absolutely with out profit, for the sole purpose of stimu- lating the consumption of oil. It Is esti- mated that the sale of stoves by the company last year was over 100000, and of lamps more than half million. These have been, and are being, advertised In newspapers and magazines in every sec ton of the country, the advertising of the Standard oil company last year having reached an aggregate of about half a mil lion dollars. It must be borne in mind that the investments made by the com pany in oil regions which have become eX- hausted are an approximate loss. It has empty tanks in the abandoned fields in the two states of Pennsylvania and Ohio which, in the prosperous tide of production, would contain the enormous amount of 100000 barrels of oil.

 It is related that an Alabama darkey preacher made the following announce ment one Sunday morning:
 "Breddern and sistern. I shall disco se dis mawnin' on de power of de miracle Ise goin' to take as example de chillern of Israel a-crossln' de Red Sea.

 It chanced in the congregation there were certain young negroes who had been to college, and whose orthodoxy had been slightly warped. One of them arose and said;
 Why, sir, that can't be possible, be- cause all the geographies tell us that water don't freeze at the equater."

TRUST CONFERENCE MOST INFLUENTIAL Prices in the Hartman Group
 Respond TO MODERATE SECURITIES The Feeling Is General In Financial Circles That the Difficulties for Raising Capital Will Be
 Removed.
TO MODERATE SECURITIES

New York, June S.-The stock market today was inclined to draw deductions from the White House conference last night. The common assumption in the financial district was that a moderation of the policy of prosecution of corpora tions was to be inferred, as in contempla- ton. The response of prices in the liar riman group was regarded as most im- mediately involved In the decision.
 The feeling is very general in the f1nan- cial community, however, that large portion of the difficulties of securing cap ital for railroad etxentions and general Improvements have been directly due to the 7iscredt thrown upon corporations in general by the attitude of the adminis- tration towards these bodeis. There Is deep seated sentiment fin Wall street that a moderation of governmental seventies towards corporations would operate ma terally to facilitate the raising of needed capital The poor bank statement was tenn porary offset to the influence of the Wash ington reports. The known movements of money during the week account for only about half the loss of over $69 100000 in cash holdings, as the S3,500,000 gold, which goes out today, Is not supposed to figure In this weeks statement, but to be reserved for appearance in next week s statement. The loan increase. although slight, helped to swell the deposit item and the reserve requirement with net result of cutting down the surplus re- serve more than half. It is the opinion that further gold will go out to Paris next week, although the exchange rate at Paris on London advanced again today and narrowed the margin of profit on shipments of gold from here. Prices re- covered after the hesitation caused by the bank showing and closed firm, but rather below the best prices.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, June s-Middling. spot cotton advanced 1sc per pound today, go- ing to 13 cents. All other grades ad- vanced hc. The market was firm with sales of 2825 bales on the spot and none to arrive.
 Futures, with the exception of July, had one of the quietest days of the week. July continued its advance over 13c per pound on the strength of the same report which started the advance yesterday. Fears were expressed that if as many as 100000 bales of July are dis posed of in a deal between American and English interests. there will be little or no July cotton available to tender on contract. July, therefore, sold up to 13 18 or over s65 per bale. It Is quoted at about 8 per bale over October. The market opened stead at an advance of to IS points, over last night and closed steady with prices unchanged to IS points net higher.

Taft and the Labor Unions.

From Current Literature.
 One phase of MT. Taft's career Is likely to become of considerable interest in the near future if he becomes the republican candidate for president. When he was q judge of the superior court of Cincin- natl, before he went to the Philippines he had a number of cases to decide that pertained to labor unions and their con- tests with employers. In one case
