There are countless examples of
this protective celebration among ami

 T believe the acquisition of the Ten nessee Coal and Iron holdings worked no change in the status of the Steel corpora ton. Furthermore, l believe the action was necessary for the general good and checked the panic, as subsequent events proved it did. H
 The result of the action I took was beneficial and the action l tok at the time was necessary for the benefit of the people of the United States. y
 In every crisis the temptation to in- decision, to non-action, Is great. Action means risk and the certainty Of blame to the man who acts, but If, the man Is worth his salt he will act

 WROTE BONAPARTE
"The White House.
Washington, November 1, 1907.


 My Dear Attorney General-Judge E. H. Gary and MT H. c. Prick, on be- half of the Steel evaporation, have just called upon me. They state that there is a certain business dhe name of which I have not been to,d but of which is of real importance in New York business circles) which will un- doubtedly fail this week if help is not given. Among its assets are ma jority of the Tennessee Coal company. Applicat ton has been urgently made to the Steel corporation to purchase the stock as the only means of avoiding failure Judge Gary and MT Prick informed me that as mere business transaction they don't care to purchase the stock. That under ordinary circum- stances they would not consider pur- chasing the stock, because but little benefit would come to the Steel cor 1 poration from the purchase; that they are aware that the purchase will be used as a handle for attack upon them on the ground that they are striving | to secure a monopfy of the business and prevent competition--not that this would represent what could honestly be said but what might recklessly and untruthfully be said.
 They further informed me that as matter of fact. the policy of the com pany had been to decline more than 50 per cent of the steel properties and that this purpose has been persevered in for several years past with the ob- ject of preventing these accusations; :; and as a matter of fact, their propor- ton of steel properties has slightly decreased so that it Is below 60 per cent, and the acquisition of the prop erty in question will not raise it above 60 per cent. But they feel that 1t is immensely to their interest as to the interest of every responsible business man to try to prevent a panic and gen. eral industrial smash-up at this time, and that they are willing to go into otherwise go into because it seems the opinion of those best fitted to express judgment that it may be an important factor in preventing break that might be ruinous; that this has been urged upon them by the combination of the most responsible bankers in New York, who are now thus engaged in endeavoring to save the situation But they asserted they did not wish to do this If I stated that 1t ought not to be done I answered that while, of course. l could not advise them to take the action proposed, l felt 1t no public duty of mine to interpose any objections Sincerely yours,

COTTON MARKET
 MAKES ADVANCE Net Result of Weeks Trad ing Is Advance of B
 to 42 Points

New Orleans August 5.-The net re- suits of the week in the cotton market were an advance of 30 to 42 points The high prices of the week were made on Friday and the low prices on Monday. At the lowest the trading months were Il to 13 points under last weeks close; at the highest they were 79 to SS points over. This was range of 91 to go points.
 Manipulation played an important part in the market this week. In the early part the inclination was to sag off un- der bearsh sentiment but the technical position of the market was weak and large operators took advantage of it to bring about one of the most spectacular declines seen for many months. octo- Der sunk to new low levels for the sea son, at 1O.71 on Monday but on Friday sold at 1163 or about 90 points higher. This advance was made possible by the running in of an extensive short inter- est. No new crop or trade developments came to light to put the market up.
 The governments report on condition Wednesday of S91 was bearsh enough in it's import but was not high enough to suit the expectations of certain ele- ments in the market and more or less buying followed it. After the middle of the week buying on a huge scale was done and it caused shorts to rush to cover and put prices up on themselves.
 The weather of the week was mainly favorable but little attention was paid to it, the showy trading of certain oper- ators fixing the interest of the trade to the exclusion of everything else. Some complaint of damage by worms was heard but the damage was not extensive.
 In the spot market prices lost three quarters of a cent, midding losing at 12lsc against 127sc this week last year. Sales on the spot amounted to 912 bales against 367 last wek and 4625 this week last year; sales to arrive amounted to 800 bales against 37 last week and 227 this week last year.
