THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. July 29-The cotton market
opened barely steady at an advance OF 8
points TO a decline OF points August being

to disappointing cables and reports OF

the belt. The weather continued rather I'M
satisfactory In the western belt however
and, after the opening, prices advanced on

was encouraged by the absence of August

HEARING BEFORE AUDITOR
Application for an Increase Of the
Capitalization.
PRESENT SUM TO BE DOUBLED
Purpose Of the Proceedings Stated by
Company's Attorney-Evidsnce
+ Heard Today.

The value of the plant Of the Georgetown
Gas Light Company, viewed as growing
concern, is 100000, according to the opin-
ion Of w. w. Randolph Of New York. an
expert gas engineer. who today gave testi-
mony at the first hearing on the applica-
ton Of the company for authority to in
crease it's capital stock from $4,000 to
$500 600. The hearing was before Auditor
James G. Payne in the room of Equity
Court No. e. 1t was opened before Justice
Gould, who announced his decision to refer
the taking Of testimony to the auditor
and then adjourned court. The hearing pro-
ceeded In the courtroom. Mr.. Payne TAX
ing the judges seat on the bench.
The total assessment on the books of the
District assessor Of all the Georgetown Gas
Light Company's holdings Is stated to be
$sO,O41, the amount for pipes, mains, ETC.,
being 81 ,5O4 and real estate $5S.637.
When the court convened this morning
Justice Gould announced that since last
Monday he had decided that, following the
ruling of the United States Supreme Court,
1t would be better practice to have the tes-
timony taken before Auditor Payne Of the
court, he to make all needed computations
and find fully the facts. He announced
that exception to the auditors report might
be made by the District Commissioners or
the United States, both of whom had enter
ell formal appearance Of record.
Attorney Thomas, for the Commissioners,
objected to the form of the order of refer
ence, expressing the opinion that the scope
of the order was not broad enough. Mr..
Thomas suggested that the wording of the
regulations governing the proceedings pro-
mulgated by the court in general term
should be Incorporated in the order. He
also suggested that the auditor should re-
port on the necessity for granting the in
crease of stock asked by the gas company.
He urged that the court was not bound to
grant the company authority to increase
ITS stock

Reasons for Valuation.

Tn response to questions propounoed py
Mr.. Perry to determine Mr.. Randolph
methods and reasons for placing the actual
valuation of the Georgetown Gas Light COM
many at 5000, OOO Mr.. Randolph stated that
he took into consideration the territory. the
FIGHTS and the probabilities of growth In
territory and population. He stated that
seSo cnO would be a fair price for the pur-
chase Of the entire plant. He figured the
gross earnings of the company at $4,000,
going now, although last year they sold
only a little over 100000 feet Of gas at
81 per thousand feet.
* company doing an $4,000 year bust
ness" Mr.. Randolph said, should have
working capital of $4,000 and In my esti-
this company at $4,000. The working cap
ital includes expenditures for supplies. such
as coal oil and the various other necessi-
ties in connection with the successful opera
ton of the plant, as well as a certain
amount of cash to have on hand to carry
on the business from day to day.
Corporation Counsel Thomas asked the
witness whether or not the total valuation
he had placed upon the plant, $500 600, was
not trife too low an estimate, consider
ing the market quotations CT the stock. This
question was objected to by Mr.. Perry who
stated to the court that Mr.. Randolph
could only answer from hearsay, and that
stock broker will be called as witness
later to testify upon this point
Mr.. Randolph then proceeded to define his
reasons for placing the value of the real
estate of this company at $50 600 saving
that the property Is we'll situated for a
manufacturing plant, being on the water
and having good transportation and coaling
facilities.
At 1880 court adjourned for recess I'M

Object Of the Proceedings.


Mr.. Perry for the company suggested that
the order of reference followed the act Of
Congress authorizing the proceedings. The
object of the proceedings. Mr.. Perry said,
is apparent, It being the authorization to
the company to properly express in Its
capital stock the actual value Of the COM
pany's holdings Mr.. Perry explained that
a corporation. like an individual, ought to
state its true worth: otherwise 1t would De
untrue to its trust. as the public ought to
know the exact worth OF the company. The
capital stock, he said, represented the true
capital of the company at Its Inception, II
paid in full. but after running fifteen or
more years 1t often happened that large
surplus was in this possession OF corpo-
ration. on which it's dividends were pPedl-
Gated often making it appear that COM
pany was earning 40 CT 80 per cent on its
capital, when this was merely percent
age Of the capital stock which might be
only $1,000, 900. as in the case of New
York bank which he cited. when this par
ticular banks capital surplus was about
$4,000, 600. A corporation should be allow
ed, he contended. to increase its stock so
as to cover It's actual capital, in order that
it. NAV not be put in the false light of MAX
ing an exorbitant profit. This. he said es-
pecially applied to public service corpora
lions, from whom Congress has taken away
the common-law right to increase its capt.
tai stock.
Justice Gould stated that the jurisdiction
of the court was circumscribed by the act
of Congress- and left only one question to
be decided by the court-the actual cash
value OF the plant. The court was not ne
said to order an increase in the stock, but
such action would be left entirely to the
company.
Mr.. G.. Thomas Dunlop briefly stated to
the auditor the scope of the petition, the
fact of notice having been given as required
by the court, and announced that the COM
pany was prepared to offer its evidence.

The objections to military
display at the Jamestown ex-
position are due to the fears of
good anti-militarists that the
presence of the soldiers will
popularize the military ideals
among visitors to the show,
and thereby rear another OBJ
stacle to international peace
But their worry is scarcely
justified in view of the fact
the army authorities are secur-
ing recruits only with the great
est difficulty. Evidently war
like ideals cannot stand much
cultivation without assuming
the proportions of an interna-
tional menace. 1t is only the
girls who love the habiliments
of war. People should also re-
member that we should also
have some work for the many
young men who are now stu
dents at West Point and Ann
apolis, and an exposition is a
good place for ths N to show
their new t.. O ms to ad-
miring parents and friends.

While the United States and
other countries are giving re-
ports of the unusual prosperity
of the government and it's sub
jects, China is trying to give
relief to about 100000 poor
within the limit of the empire.
A few days ago it was stated
through the newspapers of this
country that China had some
intention of refusing aid from
the United States on account of
the non-acceptance of money
from the Chinese government
during the earthquake and fire
at San Francisco, but we be-
lieve they will think twice be-

The discharge of the negro
troops at Brownsville, Texas,
sometime ago, has been the
cause of much controversy in
congress. 1t has been decided
that congress will send a COM
mittee south to take testimony
and make a detailed report Of
the affair, thus reopening the
case which was thought settled
at the time the soldiers were
discharged for shielding Sc
called guilty comrades. It is
now a question of fact or law,
and it is thought the committee
will bring in such a report that
the matter may be settled at
once. A matter of this kind
stirs up considerable feeling
among the different senators
and representatives and should
be disposed of quickly.
