New York, March 1.-THE striking
feature of the week has been the
manipulation of the May option and
an advance of about 81 net per bale.

month.
Liverpool right or wrongly has been
painly affected by the May corner.
Spot stocks have increased. The con-
tinent has been buying more freely
there. Manchester is reported to be
has bought on recessions. So has the
South, including New Orleans.
Finally, the weather in Texas has
continued for the most part dry. In
the Gainesville section of that State
it is said that the conditions are the
dryest for 20 years past. On the 9TH
er hand heavy rains have latterly fall
len in the southern part Of Texas and
a precipitation seems to have occur
red in some localities in the western
section Of that State.
The question which the cotton trade
is asking is whether Europe with it's
improved trade will fix the price Of
cotton for the rest Of the season or
whether it will be determined by the
conservative spirit which is the DOM
inant note in the American branch of
the cotton business at this time. The
May option in the meantime is the
centre of interest.

COTTON SPECTATOR MOBBED.
English Cotton Brokers Mistrcat Pat
ten.

London, March 11.-A hostile dem
onstration on the floor of the cotton
exchange at Manchester and one di-
rectly contrasting it for friendliness
on the corn exchange at Liverpool
were met with today by Jas. A. Pat
ten, the Chicago wheat and cotton
operator. In the first, Mr.. Patten
was mobbed and probably escaped in
jury only by being rescued by the po-
lice; in the later he was greeted with
cheers and other manifestations of
friendliness Mr.. Patten will sail from
Liverpool tomorrow for New York
on board the Cunard line steamer,
Mauretania
The brief visit in England of the
Chicago operator has been spent most
ly about the Liverpool markets and
today he made up his mind to run
over to Manchester to see the city
and visit the cotton exchange. 1t was
known to Mr.. Patten that there had
been threats of an unpleasant recep-
tion should he visit "Cottonopolis,"
but he refused to believe they would
be carried into effect. These threats
IT Is said, emanated from persons on
the exchange who had lost large sums
as result Of Mr.. Patterns operations
IN Chicago, and from Others who held
nm responsible for Yesterdays rise
in the price of cotton and who believ-
ed that his visit to England had for
It's purpose the manipulation Of the
market.
Hardly had Mr.. Patten touched the
floor of the Manchester exchange be-
lore the outburst came. lie was boot
ed and jeered by the throng and then
surrounded and hustled into the street.
The crowd followed even here and did
not desist its manifestation of dislike
until the American had been placed
in cab by the police and started FOR
the railway station, where he took the
lrst train back to Liverpool. While
unhurt. Mr.. Patten was greatly sur
prised and irritated at the dislike the
people of Manchester had shown for
him.
Arriving in Liverpool, Mr. Patton

G. Johnson. leaders of the Pennsyl-
vania Bar, and Moritz Rosenthal, the
legal pillar of the Standard Oil inter-
ests. OF these, Johnson made the
principal argument to the Supreme
Court, in the defence in the tobacco
cases. The defence has urged that
the corporation which entered into
the organizatiC of 1899, had not been
competitors since 1879; that the
stockholders of the principal company
were the joint owners Of the stock
of the subsidiary companies, and had
tn right to convey their stock in the
latter to the former in trust for them
selves, and congress was without DOW
er to restrict their acquisition, their
method Of holding, or their deposi-
tion of their title to their property
or their use of it; that the corpora
tions whose stock were invested in
the Standard Oil Company Of New
Jersey are private corporations and
not charged with public duty. as
were the railroads in the Northern Sc
curities case; and that If any re-
straint of trade resulted from the or
ganization in 1899 it was neither di-
rec immediate, nor substantial.
Attorney General Wickersham prob
ably will make the principal argument
to the court in favor of the dissolu-
ton. Frank Il. Kellogg, of Mime
sofa. and Charles b. Morrison, of Chi
cago, have been most active in the
preparation of the case against the
defendants. Theit arguments were
upheld in the main by the lower
court.
The business world is awaiting the
out, ONE Of the suit, to know what er-
feet 1t will have upon the future, not
only Of the Standard Oil, but Of other
combinations with points in common.
The department Of justice is waiting
for the decision of the court IN order
to shape the governments attitude to-
ward other organizations, of which
complaint have been made.
