VIII BE Permanent.

II this association is organized it will
in all probability be permanent and com
posed of such cities as mentioned and viii
undoubtedly be a strong and influential
one.
Players Of Washington and Baltimore
are enthusiastic over the plan, and there
is little doubt that Philadelphia will en-
ter. as the city is unusually strong in
material! embracing such players as w.
J. ClOthier, former national tennis cham
pion; E. H. Dewhurst, Carpenter. and
Wallace Johnson, all of whom are among
the first twelve in the National Lawn
Tennis Association rating.
The effect of the successful culTaination
of this project will be to raise the stand
ard of tennis and increase the prestige Of
the sport. which has advanced in popu-
larity at a gratifying rate in recent years.

Both the academic teams are strong on

which promises to be particularly inter

just managed 10 win by a nose last year.

Although It has not been definitely de-
cided the matter of approaching one or
two other Eastern cities in close proximity
to the three mentioned. with a view to ad-
hitting them to membership in the asso-
citation, Is being considered. but no ac-
tion will be taken until suggestions from
the Baltimore members of the board are
received.
MI Hills has written TO Edward II
Dewhurst, a prominent tennis player Of
Philadelphia, asking him 20 inquire Of the
players in that city as to their willing
ness 10 enter the proposed association,
and requesting them TO send a delegate
TO the meeting.
The idea Of this inter-city tennis asso-
citation is to have an association in each
city TO pick teams and arrange matches
so that each city will play every other
city in the organization twice, once at
home and once abroad, then the city
having the largest number Of matches 10

THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. May 9.-The cotton market
opened barely steady at an advance of 6
points to a decline Of points. the gains
being on the near positions which were
influenced by continued covering and
frmer cables. while the new crop months
were generally lower. owing to prospects
for better weather and realizing. The
weather map showed continued rains in
the eastern belt, but clearing weather in
central and western sections, and the early
forecast was for generally clear weather
Friday. while temperatures are ranging
near the seasonal average. Trading was
quite active during the early session, and
after some little irregularity the market
sold off to q net decline OF about 5aS points
with the tone feversh and unsettled during
the middle OF the morning.

forenoon the market sold off to a net de-
cline of Sal2 points, under continued liquida-
lion and bear pressure, with the new crou
months relatively easy, notwithstanding the
western belt forecast calling for unsettled
and cooler weather. Covering became more
active at the decline, and with considerable
support from the bull party prices ruled a

LIMIT OF LIABILITY.
Objection of Surety Company to At
titude of the Departments.

At hearing held before the Attorney
General yesterday the United States Fidel-
ity and Guaranty Company of Baltimore,
Md, presented Its reasons why. In its judg-
ment, the order issued by the executive
departments February limiting the
amount for which surety company might
become liable upon a single bond to 10 per
cent of Its capital and surplus should
be annulled and Cancelled.
The position of the Baltimore company
is based upon its belief that in the alb
sence of specific authority in the act of
1894, under which surety companies are
authorized to do business with the United
States, the secretaries of the various de-
partments were without authority for pre-
scribing such Limitations. 1t is under
stood that the point of juridisdiction was
fully considered both at the hearing on
February 10. 1907, before Secretary Shaw
and at the conference of the solicitors of
the various departments called by direc-
ton of the President to formulate a uni
form regulation.
The action of the departments was based
upon the ground that the specific require
ments of various statutes imposing upon
the approving officer the duty of approx
aaing the bond and of also approving the
surety as being satisfactory to him, to-
gther with the specific provision contained
in the act of 1894 that the acceptance Of
surety companies shall be subject to such
officers approval, gave the departments the
right to prescribe such regulations to satisfy
the approving officers upon this point as
might be deemed necessary.
1t Is understood that what brought the
present objection of the Baltimore COM
pany to a head was the enforcement of
the provisions of the order that the COM
panies shall report to the departments at
the end OF each quarter what bonds they
had executed in excess Of the 10 per cent
limitation and what securities they have
for the excess. 1t Is understood that ali
Of the other companies have complied with
this regulation and that the statements
submitted have been found generally salts
factory, but that the Baltimore company
wished to be relieved from exposing its
record of such bonds to the view of the
department until the Attorney General shall
determine whether or not secretaries of
the departments were within their legal
rights In prescribing the regulation. Tne
total qualifying power of all the COM
panies authorized to do business with the
United States Is about one hundred mil
lion dollars. and the objecting COMPANY
represents about per cent of that amount
A number Of the states have laws pre-
scribing similar limitations, and It Is nm
derstood that every Insurance Commission
In the United States has expressed the be-
lief that the limitations are desirable and
necessary.

Firm-Further Pessimistlc crop
Advices Attracted Attention.


Epecisl dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 9.-During the greater
mart of today's business session Wall
streets rank and file spent the time in spec
ulating upon the nature of the announce
ment which was to be made at the conclu-
sion of the meeting of the board of direct
ors of the Union Pacific railway. 1t was
announced early in the morning that some
official statement might be expected after
the meeting, and with this in view interest
in every other phase of the situation was
virtually dismissed.
Very little attention was accorded even
TO the rise in the grain market which was
accompanied by further pessimistic crop
advices. and which was further based in
part upon the rather gloomy weekly report
of highly credited trade journal.
The London stock market was reactionary
in all departments, but operations here for
foreign account were limited to the sale
of about 5000 shares. The Bank of Eng
lands rate of discount was left unchanged
at 1 per cent and the banks weekly state
ment showed a proportion of resources. to
liabilities OF 1910 per cent, against 1921
per cent last week. Rates in the open Lon
don market were again extremely easy.
During the larger part of the business ses-
sion the trading was conducted upon the
same limited scale of activity. which was
noted yesterday, with an even greater con-
version of interest upon Union Pacific.
The tone of the general market was IT.
regular. but aside from the local traction
issues little genuine pressure was evidenced
in any direction. The weakness in that
quarter was, 1t goes without saying, occa-
stoned by this mornings advices from AL
bany relating to the progress of the legisla-
ton upon the public utilities bill.
A generally firm tone characterized the
transactions in the industrial and miscel-
laneous issues, with rather marked steadi-
ness in United States Steel common.
Amalgamated Copper was slightly inf1u-
enced by the reactionary tendencies Of
the metal.
Aside from Union Pacific there was a
virtual absence of other than technical
comment upon the transactions in the
railway list. New York Central was quite
sharply depressed-at the outset of the
trading. but later rallied substantially, and
Delaware and Hudson scored a further
recovery.
Little alteration appeared in either money
market or sterling exchange conditions.
