Ing
New York Sept 6-The action Of the cotton
market to-day Was a decided disappointment to the
bulls. Following the government report which was
issued last Friday. there was general disposition
to regard the market riTe for a decided and
tanned advance. Many conservative operators looked
for Rccnt quotation in the contract list to follow
the serious August dctfroration. Shorts covered
freely and there appeared TO be good support from
prominent exporting 10 this and bullishly inclined
operations. II recognized that the weekly condition
has been more favorable since August S. the date
which government information was compiled. and
there was some skepticism 10 the correctness of
the report but the market reflected something more
than skepticm to-day. and after snme early strength
decline Of % points set In from the high level
Of the morning indicating very clearly that the
market cannot be advanced mere theoretical estt
mates Of the possiD4e Yield against the heavy
ceipts and extremely unfavorable trade reports.
The Liverpool market remained open Saturday
and Monday. while New York was closed in O0-
serTance Of Labor Day. Fluctuations in Liverpool
over the holidays were not important except in
showing 10 point advance in spots with fairly
liberal sales Of actual cotton.
During the carly trading here October sold at
II. %; December IL s.: January lilo. and March az
n.e0. The market became dull the advance and
displayed q sagging tendency, which condition pre-
vailed throughout the SESSION with final loss Of
from IS TO points from the high prices.

Sherman Antitrust Law May Halt Strike on
Hartman LineS-New Construction
TO Be Enforced
to Be Enforced.

|, dual trusts at the instigation of stock
market pools sink into nothingness COM
pared with the big fact that the Sher-
man antitrust law is at last to be con-
strued.
II is because OF the big political strug-
gIe upon which the country Is just en-
tering that stocks will be Iquidated
quietly on any material advance that
may come in the security markets as a
result of technical movements.
Bankers in close touch with the in
siders OF the American Tobacco Com
pany say that there has been heavy
accumulation in the last three months
OF American Tobacco bonds and COM
mon stock for the account Of the in
sders. It is believed that the announce
ment of reorganization plans to be made
on September "A will be so favorable to
security holders as 10 cause rejoicing on
the part of all American Tobacco stock
and bond holders, as we'll as to allay
any fears as to what might happen to
the steel trust or other big corpora
tions under like circumstances.
The Supreme Court decisions in the Oil
and Tobacco cases were constructive and
beneficial. but many politicians and
labor unions are refusing to accept the
Supreme Court decision as final. and
under such circumstances there will be
much worry in store for investors and
many splendid opportunities will be pre-
sented for spectators TO build up for
tunes on market turns.

FEEL SURE OF
THE SHIP CANAL
Congressman on inspection
Tour Entertained at Ban
qust at trenton.
DOWN DELAWARE TODAY
Project IS Nearer Realization
Today Than Ever Before
Says Cenl. Moore.

Trenton, June 3:-As summed up
by Congressman ]. Hampton Moore,
of Philadelphia, last night, following
the surveys made by Colonel Hilman
M. Baker, of New York, on the con-
gressional investigation trip through
the available lands across New Jer-
sey yesterday for the proposed ship
canal, the project is nearer a realiza-
ton than at any time since the idea
was promulgated several years ago.
This was Congressman Moores
generalization last night after the
banquet given by the Chamber of
Commerce at the Country Club to
the Congressional Committee on
Rivers and Harbors, which followed
their trip of inspection from New
York to this city by boat across the
bays and through the canals. The
days program was from New York
by revenue cutter to Perth Amboy.
transfer to Captain John Miller's
yacht Idyleast, Trenton Yacht Club;
trip up Raritan bay and river into
the canal at New Brunswick; recep-
tion there and lunch while going up
the canal; reception at Bound Brook,
then to Trenton.
At Trenton the party docked at
the State street lock, and after being
photoed at the City Hall proceeded
by auto to the Country Club, where
the banquet took place, with Fred
erick w. Donnelly as toastmaster.
The banquet was followed by some
good talking by the members of the
committee, who were welcomed by
Francis B. Lee, representing Mayor
Madden. They seemed impressed
with 7he project. Congressman
Moore, who has been an enthusiast
in this matter, has never been sue
cessful in being placed on the Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors.
The committee in charge of the
tour of inspection was under the
direction of Representative j. Hamp-
ton Moore, of Philadelphia, presi-
dent of the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways Association, and the following:
Frederick w. Donnelly, of Trenton,
N. j., New Jersey Ship Canal Com
missioner; George Sproule, of Phil
adelphia, secretary of the Commis-
sion of Navigation; Addison B.
Burke, Philadelphia, secretary At
lantic Deeper Waterway Association; I;
Wilfred N. Schaff, Philadelphia, sec
retary of Commercial Museum
Charles E. Reid. New York, seere-
tary North Side Board of Trade.
It was after midnight when the
committeeman retired to the Wind
sor Hotel, where they remained over
night, and this morning at 1880 left
for Bordentown via the Delaware
and Raritan canal They will then
return via the Delaware river t.
Trenton and then back to Philadel-
phia, viewing all the available op-
portunities for the carrying out of
the project. At Philadelphia the
committee will be entertained by
Mayor Rayburn at the Union League
and an inspection of League Island
will then be made.

GIVE ABANQUET
TO KATzENBACH
Notable Monmouth County
Democrats Gather.
Special to the EVENING News.


Highlands, June 3:-The shore din
ner given to Honorable Frank S. Kat
zenbaek, Jr., Of Trenton, by the Mid
dletown township Democratic Execu-
tive Committees in the Bamboo Garden,
Sandlass' Pavilion, last night, was a
great success in every particular. There
were 275 seated in the garden and
partook of the following menu:
Dry Martini Cocktail
Steamed Soft CLANS, with Broth
Little Neck Clam Chowder
Radishes Spring Onions
Deviled Crabs
Baked Bluefsh, Butter Sauce
Soft Shell Crabs on Toast
Tartar Sauce
Boiled New Potatoes
Fresh Garden Peas
Lettuce and Tomato Salad
French Dressing
Neapolitan Ice Cream
During the banquet the orchestra
played several selections. The same
general spirit of good fellowship ex-
listed throughout the entire evening
last night as has been manifested at
previous dinners and everyone left the
garden feeling it had been an honor
to himself to be present.
Following the dinner toastmaster
William Pintard, of Red Bank, called
on Mr.. Katzenbaeh, who made an in
teresting afterdinner speech Several
times during mis- remarks his voice was
utterly drowned by the cheers of those
present, showing his sentiments were
also theirs. During his remarks he
referred to his former campaign in the
contest for governor in a very humor-
Gus way.
In speaking of Monmouth county,
Mr.. Katzenbach referred to it as the
county of his adoption" He prais-
ed the Democrats for their efficient
work in the past. Mr.. Katzenbach al
SO spoke at length on the taxation
questions Of to-day and urged that the
present administration adopt the prin-
-clples of economy and apply them in
running the state affairs as an individ-
ual does his private affairs.
William Pintard, toastmaster, after
reading telegram of regrets from
James r. Nugent, Assemblymen- Elmer
H. Geran, of Matawan, spoke at length
on recent acts of the legislature, es-
peciaIly calling attention to the election
and primary acts. His remarks were
very instructive and interesting.
Assemblymen Leon R. Taylor, of AS
bury Park, was next heard from in
a short address, stating that on July
IL dinner in the honor of Frank S.
Katzenbach will be given at Asbury
Park. Everyone present was urged to
attend.
Asesmblymen James G.. Hendrickson,
of Red Bank, was the last speaker of
the evening.
A noticeable fact in all the addresses
OF the evening was the omission of the
name of Governor Woodrow Wilson. Not
once was the governor name refer
red to in any way. Those who arrang-
ed the dinner are understood to be more
or less close to James Smith, Jr., of
Newark
