A COMPLETE WHITEWASH.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The Lor-
liner Investigating Committee late
this afternoon, by unanimous vote,
decided to clear the Illinois Sena-
tor of the charge that he was
elected through corruption.
The seven members of the COM
mittee, of which Burrows is chair
man, voted together on the first
ballot.
| The report, which soon will be
submitted to the Senate, was a
/ complete whitewash for the blond
boss of Chicago.
i AS was expected, the Senate
committee found no evidence to
prove that Lorimer purchased his
election. OF course he did not. But
no man doubts that the members
of the Illinois legislature, who
plead guilty to taking bribe to
vote for Lorimer, got the money
and that a large humber of other
members of that body who did nos
plead guilty or who have not been
indicted, got money for voting foI
Lorimer also.
The "interests," to whom Lori
mer is most useful as a member ol
the United States Senate, probab-
| ly put up the money to secure his
election, that is, to buy him a seat
in the Senate, and of course he
i will be expected to represent them
rather than the state of Illinois
It's shame and a disgrace thai
such things can occur, and thai
no adequate remedy in law il
available to prevent it.

TRADE LETTER.
Security Market Is Not up to Expee-
tatons and Traders Assume Con-
servative Attitude.
lew York-R. G. Dun & Co.'S week.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'S week
ly review of trade says:
The trade movement, taking the
country as a whole, continues large.
That there is in all the markets, and
particularly is this the case in the Sc
curity market, much disappointment
tnat the extravagant expectations at
the beginning of the year are not be-
ing fulfilled is beyond question, and
this feeling results in very conserv-
ative attitude on the part of both trad
ers and consumers.
There is a feeling among some that
conditions inseparable from a period
of worldwide political and economic
transition may be forcing some impor-
tant readjustments, and the disposi-
tion is to wait for developments.
Sentiment in iron and steel is more
optimistic as result of a broader de-
mand for finished products, accom-
panied by increased interest in pig
iron. While improvement in the lat
ter division is by no means marked,
consumers show greater willingness
to cover their requirements, inquiry
being stimulated by the low prices
quoted and most producers refuse to
make further concessions.
New business has come forward
most freely in the east. Conditions
appear more favorable in finished
steel lines now that the railroads and
agricultural interest shave resumed
active buying of needed equipment
Good orders for rolling stock have
been received, and while demand for
rails is chiefly for small lots, the ag
gregate tonnage taken is of quite
large volume.
The small measure Of improvement
in the demand for cotton goods and
yarns is maintained and some small
advances are being paid, but prices
are still so unsatisfactory that curtail
ment Of production is increasing in
cloth and yarn.
Export business to the far east is
dull, but the movement to Australia
and Manila Of late has been fair
Light weight mems wear is being of
fered at low figures from first hand
to reduce stocks. On the whole, the
tone Of the textile markets is better
than week ago.
Trade in footwear is very quiet anc
the lack of fresh business is more
marked, 1t is not question of price
so much as general feeling of con
servatism pending more definite views
regarding the future. There is some
trading in leather, and occasional large
sales are effected. The best feature
of the market is the export demand.
