La Junta tribune., 1908-12-26

Labor Commissioner Axel swanson
completed his biennial report to the
secretary Of state last Monday. and
one of the subjects to be dealt with
In the report Is the increase OF Jap
anese labor throughout the state.
The report will probably give the
views of the lahor commissioner ON
the protests recently fled by farmers
near Rocky Ford, their complaint be
ing that the Japanese farmers are
running the melon business in the
world-famous district by raising In
ferior grades of melons and selling
them at low prices. The labor com
missioner has conducted an invesu'
CATION of the conditions of the Jap
apese farmers near Rocky Ford.
Recently, since the filing OF thep
first protests. the farmers have noui-
fled the labor commissioner that nh'
less conditions are improved anu
prices for melons become better, the
crop will be curtailed to large eA'
tent next year. A threat to cut ou'
the cantaloupe crop altogether IL
made. Commissioner Swanson is
not certain that any definate action
can be taken to prevent the Japs
from raising cheaper melons, excep'
through cooperation with commission
dealers. An effort to secure the co,
operation OF all commission men anu
buyers will be made before the open
,ng 80 the melon season next year.

PRESIDENT UReES CAUTION
Sends Senator Frye Endorsement Of
Waterway Commissions
Suggestions.

Senator Frye. chairman Of the Senate
committee on commerce. today laid before
the committee a letter from President
Roosevelt indorsing suggestions made by
the inland waterways commission for the
modification of bills for river improve
ments in order to protect the interests of
the government.
The Presidents letter follows:
Il herewith send you q copy Of . letter
sent to me by the inland waterways COM
mission. I very earnestly wish that meas
ures could be taken providing for the
modification of the bills enumerated. in
the direction outlined by the waterways
commission. The measures are Of the
most far-reaching importance and enor-
NOUS sums of money are involved. It IL
therefore in the highest degree inadvis-
able that hasty action should be taken or
that the rights Of the general public and
of the United States government should
not be guaranteed in the most ample
fashion,
The commissions letter sugsested
amendments to bills in reference to i'm
proving the Tennessee river over Eli
river shoals and Big and Little Muscle
shoals; construction of dams and canals
on st. Lawrence river. near Long Sault
Island, N. Y, and authorizing the Ben
ton Water Company to constructsa dam
across Snake river in Washington
The committee discussed one of the bills
today. but did not agree to make the
amendments suggested.

Rothschild interest in American securities
was also regarded as of prime Importance.
The official announcement as given by
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. left some doubt as TO
the exact relationship between the three
banking houses and the relationship be-
tween the banking houses and the railroad
company. 1t was said that Kuhn, Ioeb
& Co., jointly with N. NJ. Rothchild &
Sons and Barring Bros. & Co., have closed
q negotiation with the pennsylvania Rail-
road Company covering 10000. 600 OF con-
solidated mortgage forty-year per cent
bonds" New Wall street phraseoiogy
was recognized In the phrase. CLOSING a
negotiation covering bonds
not defined In the dictionaries OF Wall
street terms, and capable Of several con-
structions. It left doubt as to whether
the banking houses were simply acting
as agents, whether they were Joined to-
gether In a syndicate or as to whether
they had actually bought the bonds. BY
a curious coincidence the new pariance
was also employed in the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company's announcement.
A representative of Kuhn, Loeb Il Co.
said that the bankers were not acting as
syndicate members nor as agents OF the
company. He refused to state whether
or not the bonds had been purchased out
right by the bankers. but said that they
would certainly be sold. The latter as
sertion seemed obvious enough. for at the
close of the curb market the bonds were
quoted at SO bid and par asked, and after
ward bids Of 98% were made privately.
The issue price to investors or bankers
securing an allotment from the three
banking houses Is 96.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS

The widening of the scope of the mar
ket which Is expected will be an early
development has not fairly set In heres
although it is thought there are some in
dications of it. This promises to be
trait of the general market and Will
signify the return to active dealing OF
what is known as the general public One
of the conditions which are looked upon as
tending to such a result Is pictured in the
report made recently by the state bank
examiner of New York. who states that
an examination of trust company loans
shows the increase in the loans was only
about half as large as the increase In
deposits.
This accumulation of funds In banks
which such a showing indicates confirms
what is believed to be the course of things
in the financial market and 1t Is con-
cluded that before long some use will be
sought for this idle money, and that Will
lead not only to an enlarged business in
the stock market. but also In other mar
kets. where the freer use of money Will
make better demand for all kinds OF
products.
The trading at todays meeting of the
stock exchange was mainly confined to
the securities which are usually dealt

done in the bond list was the buying OF
Washington Railway bonds and the
payment of slight advance over the hg-
ures of preceding days. The trading
was at sos. with more for sale at the
same price when all was done.

cent bonds what are known as the first

There was not much done in the
stocks of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company except that some
what better price was paid for the few

hands Also higher figures were pa1d
for some fractional lots of the common
The most interesting feature of the
trading was what was done in gas stock.
as the level reached yesterday of GSA
was advanced nearly a point. About 50O
shares were sold during the call. mostly
by one broker.
While there were several bidders. yet
the stock for the most part went to one
account Some eight twenty-f1ve-share
lots sold for 64A and the balance for, 64h.
At the close the bid was on the latter
level, and the asking price about quar-
ter of q point in advance.
1t Is conjectured that the upward course
in this stock is an indication OF belief
that there will be no legislation at this
session of Congress Of what Is regarded
as of an unfavorable character. In that
is merely the beginning of the usual
movement in this security at such sea-
son, when there is a plentiful. crop of
conjectures as to what Is going to be
done by the company for the benefit OF
the stockholders.
