yK, Dec. 29.-The grand jury
SSnich has been investigating the Ne"
York Life Insurance company re-
turned indictments charging forgery
in the third degree against George w.
Perkins, formerly vice president OF
the company and a member of j. Il.
Morgan d Co, and Charles s.. FAIR
child. formerly secretary Of the treas
ury, president of the New York Secur-
ity anu Trust company, and a mouIn"r
OF the finance committee Of the iharr-
ancc company. Mr.. Perkins was in
court wnen the Indictments were an
nounced. He entered a plea OF not
guilty and gave bono in the sum of
$4,000, his sureties being j. P%ierpont
Morgan, Jr.. and Cleveland H.. Dodge.
Mr.. Fairchild is in Europe.
The court assured Mr.. Perkins that
a double surety was not necessary,
but he replied that he preferred it.
Six indictments were returned
against each of the two defendants,
but all are based on the transaction
known as the "Prussian loan" the
specification as to forgery being al
legged Justification of bookkeeping en-
tries. II Is asserted hat certain rail-
way stocks were transferred by the
insurance company to the Security
and Trust company in order to COM
ply with the Prussian law. but that
the transfer was not bona ide. The
grand jury coupled with the indict'
ments a .presentment in which 1t
placed itself on record as convinced
that Messrs. Perkins and Fairchildd
were Influenced by a desire to bene'
ft the policyholders." The grand jury
further says the indictments were re-
turned only under a strict i~nterpreta
ton of the law as laid down by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome.

uselessness Of this procedure remained
on the outside
The crowd was constantly growing at
the entrance to the theatre and verbal
conIbats with the police were frequent.
The police quickly made way for anybody
who showed a blue or a red ticket, and
the delegates who stood in line were
forced to see hundreds Of men rush past
them and gain ready adm!ttance.
All during the convention the whitney
followers were bringing tales to the lead
ers of how easy It was to get in with
the tickets.
SAW TICKETS SOLD.
Charges were made by many who say
they saw and heard OF tickets being Of
fered and bought. The Whitney men
charge that hundreds Of these tickets
were distributed to the Bartlett men.
Another charge was made that the men
in the box office constantly Disseminated
against men when they presented their
credentials for the admission tickets by
taking a longer time to consider those
cases than was nva riably taken with the
Bartlett mon, thus holding them back
from the convention hall. The charge was
also made that determinations were made
over the taking up of credentials at the

who. unable to get in, went home in dis
gust before any effort was made to make

There appeared to be 800 men on the
main floor Of the theatre. Whether or not
all of these claimed to be Bartlett men
is not known. But all of them were up
holders of Chairman kiley.
A PIECE OF STRATEGY.
The capture of the convention by the
Bartlett men was the result of a SEN
sationa hit of strategy. The Whitney
men were badly fooled. The fact that
a trap had been laid for them was
known to many people days ago. even
outside Of the Bartlett camp Yet the
Whitney men appeared blind to the i'm
pending disaster until few hours be-
fore the convention met.
The scenes on the outside Of the the
atre while the conventions were being
held occupied the closest attention OF
more than 20 policemen. When the con-
vention was called 20 order line Of
men clamorinE for admission reached
from the box office fully 800 feet down
the street.
/, was just 1885 o'clock when the
first striking scene of the day outside
the theatre was enacted. A long line of
men two abreast, moved rapidly across
the common and up to the entrance OF
the theatre 1t was the Whitney army
of delegates which had marched from
the Massasoit House. headed by ex-Con-
gresham William S. McNary and Jo-
seDh A. Conry. The leaders attempted
to make their way into the theatre
through tha strong Gordon of police bar

They were pushed into the crowd
and directed to get in line. Many of
them forced their way into the head

COTTON.

New York, March 21-Close analysis of the ginners' report justifies absolute reli- ance upon its accuracy. The correspond ence between 1t and the National Ginners' returns is remarkable.
 It makes the crop 13.291,000, of which 221. .0o0 Is linters and 156.000 estimated un- ginned on March 10. The amount actually ginned. exclusive of linters, on March 10. was 12. 1908. GOO. as against 12,71s.o 900 report ed by the National Ginners' Association as actually ginned on March 2, or eight days earlier. The comparison is most creditable to the National Ginners. especially as the details by states exhibit a correspondingly close agreement. For the past four years the total crop as reported by the census and the commercial crop have almost exactly agreed except last year when the ginning of some 4s6, 900 bales, prior to September 1. made an apparent difference For all practical purposes it Is safe to assume that this years crop exclusive of linters Is 13, 000, ,o00 bales of which at least BOO, 900 are unspinnable Of the available 12.500. 900 bales seven millions have already been exported and America and Canada will certainly spin up 5.205, 900 bales This leaves only 300. 900 available for export for the balance of the season. Very much more than this has been sold but not yet shipped. In fact the entire production and more has been sold and over sold, and the result will be a nat ural automatic self existing and spontaneous corner the limitations of which I hesitate to forecast.
 Those who doubt this can easily test it's truth by selling short. It will. in my opin- ion, prove costly experiment.

 The advance in wheat came after the May option had established new low record mark for the session by selling at 74%o. The low record mark was reached within a few minutes after the opening on selling based upon extremely bearish reports from several exporters regarding the present con- dition of the crop. moderate decline at Liverpool aided the opening decline. A sharp advance in corn and oats, however, soon caused a more active demand for wheat and resulted in fair rally. The feeling developed. into decided strength late from the Southwest telling of damage by the green bug and unreasonable hot weather or Shorts were the principal buyers The
 May wheat opened N N@Ho lower at TAX to 76c, sold off to 74%c and the advanc- ed to 75%c. Final quotations were at 75%c. an easier feeling in the corn market at the opening, but this was soon dispelled by an active demand from commission houses. The buying was based upon the small stock closed strong.

 New Orleans March 21.--The incentive quarters and distributed over night through newspapers and cables shows that there IS another attempt on foot to manipulate the to cotton. To what extent these tactics will be successful we cannot venture to guess. Liverpool responded to the extent against two to three points decline due i; isSs is'SoeDl D''''' are 'nf'' points niah'' 'Ai'' Our market conformed to the higher open ing in New York. Manipuiative buying was clearly in evidence at the start. it induced short covering and was followed by scalpers buying. resulting in a further advance. On the whole. however. there is no conviction in this buying and people merely try and csscn csr. the tide The sltTaton sn;,a.,n is not tempt but fluctuations will occur, we have had about sixty points decline. a reason in itself for some reaction.
 ThA- into sight for the week looks like 227.o0o vs. 149e e60 last year and 24l, 209 in 1905. From now on the movement-is likely to be considerably less than in 1905. Weath- CT conditions continue favorable

There Is no opposition outside the fact of the situa- tion in cotton proper which are bearish. It is generally thought that manipulation will push 1t further. Manipulation in New York made a special effort towards the close, pushing the advance until 1t had reached 24 points for the day.
