Trade Reports F1attering.

With regard to the switchmen's strike.
II is admitted generally to be an indica-
tion of conditions with which not only
railroads but industrial corporations will
have TO reckon in the near future.
So far as today's market is concerned,
traders committed to the side of declin-
ing prices emphasized considerations con-
nected with the opening of Congress and
the railroad switchmen's strike in the
northwest. 1t is a legitimate inference
from many known facts that Washington
is not at all likely to furnish the bearish
ammunition which some Wall street
quarters have been apprehensiva that it
would.
So far as the actual news developments
of the day went. they were not without
some propitious features. The report of
the National Association of Manufactnr-
ers showed generally prosperous condi-
tions, and confident hopes in industrial
circles. The railroad earnings for No
vember which were reported. showed
substantial gains in gross, and the fig
ures of copper exports for November eX-
hibited a continuing increase. In money
the situation was without change
The stock market opened steady to
firm. but speedily developed irregularity
which subsequently became extensive and
around midday the market was quite
heavy despite the aggressive strength dis
played more or less consistently by At
Gibson. Reading and Rock Island prefer
red. Very little in the wa yof specific
reason could be cited for the particular
course of prices.

IL would be reasonable diagnosis of the
stock market community to say that it is

ton has arisen regarding the success
sor to Bishop Joseph B. Cotter, whose
funeral was held today According
to the rules and regulations of the
Catholic church, it probably will be
several months before Pope Piux x
makes an appointment. and. in the
meantime, Archbishop Ireland will APP
point an administrator for the diocese,
who. in conjunction with the late bish-
ops secretary, Rev. F. T. English, will
administer the affairs of the diocese
until the successor is named. This adj
ministrator Is not eligible to appoint
ment as bishop, his services being on
ly temporary.
What is known as the consultation
board of the diocese makes the first
choice for successor, selecting the
names of three persons whom they
consider eligible to become bishop, the
first one being called worthiest, the
second most worthy and the third
worthy. The recommendations of this
consulting board are passed on by the
board Of bishops of the province, in
Guiding in this case Bishops McGolrick
of Duluth. Trobec, of st. Cloud. Shan
ley, of Fargo, N. D., and O'Gorman, of
Sioux Falls, S. D. These are in turn
to be reviewed by Archbishop Ireland,
who will pass upon them, and all three
sets of recommendations will be for
Warded to Rome, where the appoint
ment will be made.

Governor Scores solons for Disregard

Dubuque, Iowa, June 30.-Declaring
the present tariff bill joke, Governor
Johnson, of Minnesota, who delivered
an address on the Majesty Of the
Law" before the county school gradu-
ates, discussed political matters at the
hotel denouncing the powers that be
for disregarding platform pledges in
revising the tariff upward instead of
downward. He predicted that Taft
would sign the tariff bill, that the in
come tax measure would be killed and
branded the corporation tax measure
as subterfuge. He paid a tribute to
Senator Nelson for his honest effort
to revise the tariff downward He
refused to discuss presidential posi-
bilities.
