New Orleans Futures.

New Orleans, May 16.-Cotton futures
opened steady at an advance Of to 6
points. This initial rise was due wholly
to a better future market in Liverpool
than expected. The weather map was
favorable as practically the entire cotton
belt showed up on it dry and warm.
kilograms from the greater portion of the
belt said that the crop, where UP, was
doing well and that conditions were good
for terminating seed recently planted.
Complaints of drouth came from Okla
homa- The strength of the old crop
months held the new crops up and at
the end Of the first half-hour of business
the list was to 9 points over yesterday s
close.
The market was very steady through
out the morning session. A great deal OF
attention was given to complaints of dry
weather from scattered localities in the
cotton belt. The weekly reports from the
weather bureau told of little rain and
high temperatures during the last week
and strengthened the conviction that the
entire cotton country would need rain
soon. There was little cotton for sale at
any time and buying orders in very mod
crate volume put the market up. At noon
the list was IL to II points over yester-
days close

COTTON MARKET
CLOSES STEADY
1y Associated Press.

New York, May 16.-The cotton market
opened steady at decline Of points, un.
changed on July, but generally 10 b
points higher and during the early trading
sold up to a net advance of about log Is
points on the old crop, and of points on
new crop positions in response to covering
by recent sellers, renewed old crop bull
support buying by spot people and better
cables. There was still some liquidation
of July and there was a little Southern
selling of new crop positions on favor
able view of weather conditions, but While
somewhat unsettled the market was firm
during the middle of the morning.
Trading became a little less active after
July contracts sold at 1856 and the gen.
eral list had worked up to a net advance
of from IL to II points, but offerings were
comparatively limited and the market
best at midday Strength in the stock
cision in the Standard OIL matter probably
inspired some covering by Wall Street
shorts during the morning, but the adj
vance seemed more largely due to the
strong showing Of Liverpool and the re-
newa lof old crop bull support.
The weekly report of the weather indi-
eating need of rain in most sections of the
south was followed by increased activity
in New crop positions, which sold about
II or IS points higher during the early
afternoon. but the old crop ruled about
IL to 10 points above the closing figures
of yesterday. Realizing caused slight re-
actions from this level, but offerings were
not aggressive and there was enough buy
ing by nervous shorts to prevent any real
weakness.

Standard Oil Will Obey
The Courts Decree
CONTINUED from First Page.)


try, the court declared that the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey and
it's nineteen subsidiary companies
formed a conspiracy and combination
in unreasonable restraint of trade"
under the Sherman law and ordered
the dissolution of the combination
within six months.
At the same time the court did not
condemn all great interstate corpora
lions and did not hold that every
restraint of trade was a violation of
law. The decision plainly left the in
ference that each corporation whose
acts might be called into question must
be judged upon the merits of its par
ticular case. In other words, the court
seems to have upheld the doctrine that
there are good" and bad" trusts.
The Standard OIL was a bad" trust.
The fate of the So called tobacco trust
is hanging in the balance. Whether 1t
is a good" or bad" trust probably
will be announced on May 20, the last
decision day of the present term OF
court
There was much discussion here to-
day of Justice Harlans dissenting
opinion. He declared that there ought
to be no recognition of the difference
between reasonable restraint" and
| unreasonable restraint" by the SUI
preme court. but that congress ought
to do it if it were to be done.
AS one of the direct results Of the
decision, it is said that the federal in
corporation act, prepared by Attorney
! General Wickersham at the direction
of President Taft, may be brought up
| to conform with the situation created
| by the courts action and pressed for
| passage in congress.

INTERESTING CONTEST
Beautiful Piano Will BE Awarded to
Best Performer.

A contest that will prove of unusual
interest and attractiveness to those
unsteady inclined will be the piano
contest at the North Dakota Industrial
Exposition. This is not the ordinary
piano contest which is conducted
through popular voting or lottery. The
prize is beautiful Bush & Gerts pr
ano, made expressly for this contest
and donated to the exposition by the
Stone Piano company of Fargo and
Grand oFrks. It is valued at $430. The
piano will be awarded to the best
performer thereon during the con-
testfi which will be held during fifteen
days of the exposition. Prof. Paul
LaVilla, musician and composer,
whom Theodore Thomas selected out
of large number of applicants to
take charge of his conservatory of
music at Cincinnati, has been secured
to act in the capacity of Judge in this
contest. It is confidently expected
that contestants from every part Of
the state will compete for the prize
and this contest promises to be me
of the most enjoyable and interesting
features of the exposition.

apprehensive; money is the sensitive
part of most mems affairs. Perhaps
these conditions are wrong; but the!
are as they are. A man with $4,000
to invest looks ahead; If it is his all
he looks ahead as sharply, as intelli
gently, as does a man with million
He sees, he hears, he considers, hi
calculates. He does not need to hav'
the house fall on him before he wakes
up. He wakes up as soon as the frs
blow strikes the cornerstone, the four
dation crumbles and he is gone. HI
does not wait even for the walls t.
crack. He does not have confidence
in another miracle of Mahomet. HI
does not believe that the roof will
swing over his head in midair If thu
walls and foundation should once bt
removed.
In other words, this man-this av
erage well-to-do man with his $4,000
of savings-abandons the structure
to which the attorney general of the
United States and his senatorial as
sistants are dealing such terrific blows
takes to the banks, and waits there
with his money to see what is going
to happen.
That is all there is to it! And as
does the man with $4,000 so does the
! man with a million. Neither of them
needs the added impulse, given to his
fears by wool bills, cotton bills, rate
decisions, LaFHollette speeches, and
Cummins threats of revolution and
bloodshed, to shrink away and leave
II, 8, 9 or even 10 per cent investments
go begging.
There is no panic-of course not.
The people with more or less money
are not panicky. they simply are walk
ing away from enterprise and turning
their backs on investment in order
that they may keep out of panic.
The banks are full and the markets
are empty-a good preventive of panic
that; also good preventive of pros
perity.
How long will it last? Who knows
Probably, more or less until some man
rises to be statesman or several men
of enough aggregate ability to equal
one statesman get together and or
ganize the great body of sober-minded
citizens. But as long as cabinet men,
bers talk like anarchists and social
lists talk like United States senators,
there will be no permanent revival
of industry-there can't be-you
as we'll expect water to run uphill.
