AGAINST DIVIDING FLEET.
In Message to General Horace Porter

New York, March 8. President
Roosevelt sent the following telegra m
to General Horace Porter. president
Of the Navy league, in connection with
the part which the league took In the
recent reception Of the returning bat
tleship feet at Hampton Roads,
l wish all success to the Navy league
that 1t will work successfully for the Gre
alton Of a public sentiment which will in
sist that the governmental representa-
tives Of the public in both tho legislative
and executive departments build up ths
navy and keep 1t at the highest point of
efficiency
We need thorough understanding by
the public. The essential need is an Ameri-
can naval policy including such elevating
knowledge as will prove the Incidental
folly Of attempting to divide the battle
ship fleet between the Atlantic and Pa
ciho and will condemn without reserve
those shortsighted men who oppose the
navy and the security 1t affords and seek
to make us build only small ships of an
outgrowing type.

FINANCIAL REVIEW


 New York. June 20.-The vulnerable position into which the stock specula- tion had run left 1t open to the effect of a number of factors last week which precipitated a sharp reaction and more signs of disorder in the liqui- dation than has been seen since the cut in steel prices in February broke the market. Large responsibility for this was assigned to the course of the plan to secure admission of United States Steel to the Paris bourse. What ever the real importance of this pro- ject or of it's failure to the financial and investment position of the corpo- ration, there was an inordfnate use made Of the episode as an incentive to the speculation. It was inevitable, therefore, that the speculative position of the stock should suffer when ob- stacies began to arise to the success of the project. The policy of first de- nying these obstacles and later pro- testing against the importance attach ed to the whole incident did not avail to prevent the harm done. The persts- tance of favorable advices from the steel trade was not of sufficient effect to overcome this influence on United States Steel.
 There developed some uneasiness In the copper trade which carried its in- fiuence into other metal trades. Esti-

FORECAST OF NEWS
MAY CONSIDER THE INCOME AND CORPORATION TAX AMENDMENTS.
Gould Case, Running of Suburban Handicap and Trip of Presf- dent Reyes the Feature
 of the Week.

Some of the news topics with wide- ly varying points of interest that will engage general attention this week are the consideration of a possible vote on the income tax and corpora ton tax amendments to the tarif bill in the Senate; possible action of the government against the American su- gar Refining Company; the suit of Katherine Ciemmons Gould. for legal separation from her husband, Howard Gould, the running of the suburban handicap at Sheepshead Bay and the trip abroad of President Reyes of Co., lombia.
 The agreement on Saturday to put over until this week consideration of
 the income tax proposed has afforded more time for those who favor the ad-
 ministration's amendment, to get their
 forces into line but the voting align
 ment is still very much in doubt. It is reported, though the report lacks official color. that the Federal grand sjury at New York will begin Monday the examination of witnesses looking to an action against the Amer ican Sugar Refining Company. If
 brought, the suit will be based on the
 investigation of the s30.00o.0oo loan made by the so-called trust to "Adolph Segal," formerly President of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company.
 The Gould separation suit will be continued in the Supreme Court in New York Monday. This week the de- fense will continue with witnesses in an effort to establish that the conduct of the plaintiff was such as to justify desertion by her husband.
 The departure of President Reyes. of Colombia, for Europe has excited comment because of rumors that he had tired of official life and would not resume the presidency upon his return home. President Reyes Is understood to have sailed from santa Marta June

mates of the rapid depression in cop per industriais everywhere.
 The culpability admitted in form by the American Sugar Refining Company in the compromise of the suit against it by the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company which invited the entrance into the matter of the government prosecuting officers and promised to suggest new methods in seeking the enforcement of laws against corpora tions was another subject that loomed upon tne speculative attention.
 President Taft's recommendation for a tax on corporation earnings and an income tax were not regarded as for midable in their import but the incl dental features of the earnings tax measure involving widespread inquisi- torial powers into the business of cor porations aroused fears of serious con- sequences.
 Money rates were not greatly altered during the week, but the large transi actions in progress made additional re- quirements for credits and were sus- pected to have some occult influence on the weeks stocks. The large borrow ing from foreign tenders went on and new bond issues came on the market.
 Crop advices were favorable.

All foodstuffs. both provisions and vegetables, with the exception of cab bages and snap beans, have been very high this season in the local markets and Montgomery housewives find that they have to have little extra money nowadays in order to furnish their dis eliminating husbands the much wanted varied menu.

 Home grown roasting ears have been abundance and have been attracting considerable attention from the shop pers This years crop shows an al- most perfect ear and the corn is about the finest ever raised. A dozen ears for 20 cents was the price asked by re- tailers last week.
