STANDARD OIL CASE.
Brilliant Array of Counsel In st. PAU
Court

st. Paul, May 24.-Not since the last
arguments were made in the famous
Northern Securities case in the United
States Circuit Court here, about three
years ago, has there been so noted an
array of lawyers as appeared in that
court at 10 o'clock today in the case
of the United States against the Stand
ard Oil Company OF New Jersey and
its allied corporations.
Judges Sanborn, Vandeventer. HOOK
and Adams were on the bench and the
matter brought for their consideration
was a bill of exceptions filed by the
Standard Oil Company against the
governments complaint. which seeks
to have the Standard Oil Company and
its seventy allied companies declared
an unlawful combination in restraint
of trade and to have the combination
dissolved.
Frank B. Kellogg. of this city, rep.
resented the government and made the
principal argument. He was assisted
by M. d. Purdy. Assistant United
States Attorney General and c. b.
Morrison of Chicago.
The Standard Oil Company was rep
resented by John 7. Johnson of Phil
adelphia, John G.. Millburn of New
York, and H. S. Priest of St. Louis.
The complaint, which was filed sew
eral months ago in St. Louis goes into
extensive details concerning various
offenses which 1t is alleged the COM
pany has committed.
The purpose of the bill of exceptions
is to narrow the issue in the case to
charges against the Standard OIL Com
pany, which date back not further than
1899 when the holding company was
organized. The company objects to all
those parts of the complaint which
show the original alleged conspiracy
of the Standard OIL interests which pre-
ceded the organization of the holding
company.
The ruling of the judges will deter
mine whether the complaint shall stand
as filed or whether 1t shall be amend
ed in any particular.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON,

New Orleans. May 24.-Spot cotton closed
firm and unchanged: middling 12Mc: sales
were 100 bales the spot and 81 to ar
rive.
Futures opened steady from wo to five
points above the close of yesterday. Heavy
realizing brought the market down several
points within the first few hours and even
the posting OF an unfavogAble weather fore
east failed to push up a market which had
sbeen markedly sensitive to all weather re-
ports throughout the last two weeks. Much
I OF the selling was by satisfied longs who
were DESTROYS of taking their profits near
the end of the week. The close was
steady, prices ranging from seven to eight

Montgomery, Ala.
New Orleans. La, May 24.-The un-
central portions of the belt, which set
In yesterday, was officially reported by
the weather bureau today. but the rains
as a rule were light except at points
In Louisiana, where, in some instances,
they were excessive. Map indications
for the ensuing thirty-six hours were
for a continuance of showery weather
for all sections of the belt. which con-
illusions were supported by an official
forecast for such weather for the whole
cotton region. Liverpool being closed.
holiday there today and tomorrow. no
cables were received from that quar-
ter. and although the reading be-
tween the lines of an acreage and con-
dition report published today the sub
stance of which we commented upon
in ours of yesterday indicated a change
of front on the part of a prominent
New York operator as was shown by
the making of The Chronicles large
acreage figures on last year to work
on the small increase of IL per cent.
bringing the total up to S1.909.o00
acres. American markets opened some
what higher than the close of yester-
to realize profits with view of re-en-
tering the market at a lower level in
event of market declining.
During the day private wire advices
States but apprehension lest this even
ing's statement on spinners takings for
the week be bearish, on account of the
prevailing holidays in England, as WILL
perhaps, the weekly weather and crop
reviews of The New York Chronicle
and Mr.. Habersham King, weather
conditions in the belt during the past
week having been more favorable
than last week. except in Louisiana,
was reflected in an easier market.
The total rainfall for the belt dur
ing the week was $40 inches against
1908 inches last week, and lila this
week of last year, the average rain
fall per district for the week being
only 0.28 against 1.39 last week and
0.90 one year ago. There having been
no rain at all In the districts of Au-
gusta and Charleston, the average pre-
cipitation per district for the week be-
ing less than one inch, except for the
the district of New Orleans, where 1T
figured 1.04. Such Is the record for
the past week, and it is probable that
the expected more favorable weekly
weather and crop reports will be re-
allied However, we axe not to lose
sight of the fact that crop accounts
remain generally very unfavorable and
that the June bureau condition report
will probably be about the lowest on
record by figuring about rs, and that
in the meantime rains are apt to set
in, and that there will be published
preliminary reports by trade journals
In advance of the Government. There
fore, we think well of buying on easy
periods Yours truly,
