come from the pushing OF a pawn at the
proper time" Hernando's story is sub
stantially as follows:
Columbus had impressed the queer
with the possibility Of his scheme OF
discovering a new way to India, and OF
the plausibility of his theory that the
world was round. But in his offer to
the court of Aragon and CASTLE he had
specified that he would carry the Span
Ish flag into unknown seas only on con-
dition that he be made an admiral and
viceroy over the countries which he
might discover This proposition TO
bestow such honors upon a mad Geno-
ese" was contemptuously dismissed by
the king, and Columbus left the court
on his way to France and England.
Won Commission for Columbus.
Shortly after his departure Ferdiran nd
was engaged in a game of chess with
Fonseca, one Of his daily victims AS
usual Ferdinand quickly gained the ad-
vantage. Then a discussion of Column
bus's proposition arose and queen Isa-
bella advanced the argument that no
harm could come Of promising the title
Of admiral and viceroy to Columbus
for if his venture proved as foolish as
Ii seemed there would be no land over
which the Genoese could be vicercy
Ferdinands attention was taken from
the game momentarily, and Fonseca
took advantage Of the royal abstraction
to gain the ascendant The king upon
realizing his dilemma was much net
tied fernando, who was watching the
game suddenly realized that the kings
position was not so desperate as ep-
peared on the surface He whispered to
the queen: IF his highness play cor
rectly. he wins, and Fonseca cannot
outlive four moves" Isabella leaned
over the kings shoulder and arrested
his arm, saying: do you not win. nv
lord2 Ferdinand again studied the
board and a smile dawned on his face
He saw the new line of attack Fon-
SEGA was checkmated and the king was
now in hilarious mood. 1t was the
psychological moment and the queen
said: Think you, my lord, there can
be wrong in granting this title to thei
GeDoese?''
After all, little harm can come from
appointing him admiral of the new seas
to be navigated," was the reply. Hard
ly had the words been uttered when a
messenger was riding madly toward the
Spanish border with a letter for the
footsore wanderer. This letter created
Christopher Columbus Admiral of the
Ocean-sea-" And thus game of chess

COAL COMBINE LOSES
ITS FIGHT FOR LIFE

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 9.-After
standing unscathed for more than a
decade under every kind of attack and
suspicion the Temple Iron Company,
owned and controlled by six railroads
which dominate about nine-tenths of
all the unmined anthracite in Pennsyl-
yania. was declared today to exist in
violation of the Sherman antitrust act.
Such was the decision of the United
States Circuit Court in this city. It
was given by Judges Gray and Buff
fngton. The third member. Judge
tanning, gave a dissenting vote to the
effect that the evidence did not prove
that the Temple Iron Company is an
illegal combination.
BY the majority decision the United
States wins an important. but only q
partial victory. When 1T began the
action, in June. 1907, 1t was a set pur-
pose to disrupt the great Morgan COM
bination for control of the anthracite
trade. -
The proceeding was strongly APP
proved by former President Roosevelt.
1t lido defendants of nearly all COM
panies engaged in the mining, trans
p%ortation and wholesale selling of an
thracite, except the Ontario and West
err and the Pennsylvania Susque-
hanna Coal Company, All the other
big companies. as the Reading. New
York Central, Lehigh Valley, Erie and
Lackawanna were attacked.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Dun's report

Notable Improvement is shown this

at all leading cities in the United
States amounting to $3.056, 355. 999, a
loss of only Ia per cent. compared
with the corresponding week last year
and a gain of 4 per cent. over the
same week in 1905.
While bank clearings usually increase
at this season of the year. he COM
parison with a year ago is extremely
satisfactory. as not only rs the per-
eentage of loss much less than for
many previous weeks. but the total is
larger than for a long time. The loss
in the total is mostly accounted for by
the decrease at New York city. as all
other cities report a gain of AZ per
cent, but even here marked improve
ment is shown. a less of "a per cent,
compared with last year. contrasting
sharply with losses Of 22-s per cent.

the five pneyietss weeks.
Outside New York most cities report
good gains over last year. Philadelphia,

ing the only exceptions, while COM

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance Of
2G6 points in sympathy with better
cables than expected, and reports of a
big trade demand in Liverpool, but
there was heavy selling on the bulge,
much of it coming from brokers sup
posed TO be operating for leading bulls,
and the market Showed a very ner-
vous undertone while waiting the gov
ernment's estimate this afternoon.
Prices sold off to about the closing fig
ures of yesterday during the middle
of the morning.
The market continued very nervous
and unsettled during the late forenoon,
and prices at one time showed a net
loss OF about 6 to I points under liqui-
dation attributed to Wall Street longs.
but rallied slightly toward midday, and
at noon were only a point or two I'M
der last nights figures. A canvass
made Of local exchange members re-
suited in 81 estimates averaging 1l,553,-
600 bales as to the showing of the
governments estimate this afternoon.
The market, while very nervous, be-
anne a little steadier as the hour of
the government report approached, and
just before the figures were published
prices showed a net gain of about 44s
points. The report, making the crop
IL, 426. 900 bales. sent the market up at a
sensational rate. and inside Of three
minutes new high records we're being
made, with May cotton selling at 1913
on an active demand from old bulls and
fresh buyers.

NO OPEN MARKET IN
SHEET STEEL TRADE.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 9.-According TO
the best opinion in Pittsburg today.
there will be no open market in the
sheet steel trade.
This conclusion was reached at yes
terday's meeting OF important manu-
featuring interests. It was explained
that some cutting has been In progress
and more was 10 be expected, but when
the makers of sheets went into the
condition of trade it was found that
business in November had beer better
than that Of October. with excellent
prospects for December. It was found
there was little demand for lower
prices, already looked upon as low
enough.
The opinion was held that the pres
ent uneasiness in the trade is due to
overproduction and increased capacity
rather than to a general desire for
lower prices; that il production is held
10 demand. as in me pSgt, gfs sftnz-
ton will automatically adjust itself.

PRESIDENT BAER
SATISFIED WITH
TEMPLE DECISION
Declares Outcome OF Suit Shows
There Is No Combination of
Coal Producers.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 9.-That the
decision handed down by the United
States Circuit Court in this city yester-
day was a great victory for the anth-
racite interests was the declaration
made today by George F. Baer; presi-
dent of both the Reading Company and
the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
which were defendants in the suit
brought by the government to dissolve
the alleged anthracite coal trust. Mr..
Baer said.
1.-THE decision of the Circuit Court Is
a great victory for the anthracite in
terests of Pennsylvania. 1t decides that
there is no combination to regulate
price. sale and production of coal. 1t
holds the Go per cent. purchase contract
to be legal. 1t affirms the legality of
the purchase of the Jersey Central
stock by the Reading Company.
THE only point decided against us
was that there was a combination or
ganized as the Temple Iron Company.
which defeated the construction of a
railroad. and that it violated the Sher-
man antitrust act to the extent that
an injunction might be granted to pre-
vent in the future a continuing viola
ton of the act.
THE Temple Iron Company is not a
factor of any Importance whatever in
the anthracite coal trade.
This opinion ought to settle for all
time the public clamor that there is a
combination among anthracite pro-
ducers and transporters to control the
output n fx the price of coal"
In accordance with the decision of
the court counsel for the Temple Iron
Company will file a form of decree,
and after attorneys for both the gov
eminent and h defendant have been
heard the court will issue a decree.
Following this action, it is understood
the Temple Iron Company will take an
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO. Dec. 9.-After a hesitating
start. all grain prices today inclined to
the side of cheaprress. Selling of wheat
was chiefly by the larger houses, and
was apparently based on lower quota
items at Liverpool. The British mar
kete reported demand there poor, with
larger offers pressing from Manitoba
and the Argentine. On the other hand,
there wfreepntipued rains in France
and the Conditions for the winter crop
in this country were tpimproved. The
opening was h@A lower to a shade up.
May at s6 scents to ssA continuing the

PROTEST AGAINST
CLOSING RIDEAU CANAL.

OTTAWA, Dec. 9.-Representatives
are here from every city and township
between Ottawa and Kingston and
including those two cities, to protest
against the closing of the Rideau canal.
The Canadian Pacific railway has
application for the closing of a
portion of the canal which flows
through ottawa and into the Ottawa
river, and for a grant of the canal
bed, upon which it proposes to lay its
tracks.
At present the main line OF the road
crosses the Ottawa river twice in order
to get from one of its stations to the
other. The proposed scheme contem-
plates a tunnel passing under the city
postofice fifty feet below grade and
connecting the central station with the
union station, thus cutting off the
present awkward detour through the
city of Full.

MARKET CLOSES

Heayiness of Forenoon Gives
Way to Hardening of
Quotations.


NEW YORK, Dec. s.-The decision
Of the United States Circuit Court In
Pennsylvania in the ease of the Temple
Iron Company, declaring the corpora
ton Illegal, but otherwise sustaining
.the rights Of the coal companies which
control it, was evidently favorably
construed in Wall street today. Open
ing prices. particularly of the coal
carrying roads, showed various SUBJ
stantiaI advances, Length Valley ad-
~vancing "a and Reading 2h in the
early transactions. Elsewhere in the
list gains ranged from a point TO ma

II a. m.-About a score OF stocks. in
GLIDING Union Pacific. Southern Pa

up / to III before there was enough
stock dumped on the market to drive
prices back. St. Louis Southwestern
preferred opened up 3 points, despite
the cut in the dividend, but Missouri
Pacific was sold and lost u. On the
reaction Lehigh Valley went back IL,
Southern Pacific Ia and Reading and
Union Pacific a point.
Noon-A closer study of the points
involved in the Temple iron decision
seemed to lead to the conclusion h a
the outcome was not wholly favorable
to the railroads. Although it is r
that the holdings of these companies
on the percentage basis of production
are not affected, 1t is possible that no
little ingenuity may have TO be exer-
cised to find some new method of coal
distribution. The market became dull
in the second hour, but grew more
active toward midday and prices re-
turned to near their earlier high level,
but did not hold very we'll. Bonds were
steady.
| D. m.-Stoek was met on all rallies
and this selling put Reading back to
LAG and Union Pacific. Southern Pacific,
st. Paul, United States Steel, American
Smelling and Amalgamated Copper on
a parity with yesterdays closing be-
fore it ceased. Speculation then De
came sluggish and without feature.
2 p. m.-Slow upward progress was
made during the late session, some of
the specialties showing decided
strength. Operations in the standard
stocks we're small and fluctuations mar
row.
9 p. m.-The market closed active and
strong. The heaviness CT the early after
noon gave way to general improvement
in the final hour. and prices hardened
all around. Renewal of gold imports
rumors was p~robablya factor in the ad-
vance. Trading became inactive again
at the higher level, but advances We're
pretty well maintained to the close.
