the present situation is that the public
refuses to accept the truth about the
crops and continues to accuse the trusts
of things they have not done.
1t was the statement early in the day
by Attorney General WiCkersham that
he might have something TO say be-
fore night regarding corporations that
Precipitated the break OF to-day. II
the Attorney General were member
of the bear pool that is smashing prices
he could not be more timely than he
has been in his public utterances. The
rally of the afternoon was caused by
a report that an agreement had been
reached for the reorganization of the
American Tobacco Company. This re-
organization will show how little the
government can do to destroy the trusts.
The only real danger that investors face
in this trust-husting business is the
interviews given out by officers of the
Department of Justice. The court de-
cisiOns, being based on law and equity,
will do no. damage.
There are 1O.7OO corporations listed IN
MOOdy's Manual The Attorney Gen
eral says that about 100 of these are
Illegal. In making that statement he
mas said too much or not enough. It is
his duty TO name the ones that are
Illegal. And while the politicians are
ulSClHiining business men. the public must
remember that wherever illegality exists
in the organization Of corporations
they exist because the Department OF
Justice did not its full duty while they
were being organized.

COTTON MARKET.

Quotations furnished by W. B. Hibbs 4 Co. mem
bers Of the New York Stock Exchange. Hibbs
Building.
New York. Sept 2.-The cotton market was dull
and lower to-day. New low levels for contracts
were reached late in the session and prices were
about s. a bale under the highest recorded on Sat
urriay Influences were about the same as have pre-
vailed during the recent past. Heavy receipts and
favorable weather taken TO mean sustained, IL
not IMPROVED crop conditions The spot demand.
while reported to be very active, does not absorb
the offerings from plantations to sufficient degree
to relieve the markets. and the surplus Is sold in
the contract markets and causes lower prices.
Speculation has become narrow recently. Short
commitments have been reduced during the last
week on the decline Of nearly S bale, and the
bull contingent does not appear to have given the
market support OF TO have extended their commit
ments As a matter of fact, the long interest is
represented by actual cotton. and the rade demand
is about the only short interest Of consequence.
The weight Of actual cotton on the market con-
tnucs TO increase. Five hundred thousand bales
will come in sight from farmers hands this week
and the quantity viii increase during October and
November until perhaps nearly 100000 bales may be
received in some one week before the volume turns
downward This amount Is about the record. and
there is no reason why it shouldn't be reached this

BALTIMORE JURY
BEGINS RECOUNT
Primary Frauds Are Sought
in the Fourth Ward.

Baltimore. Md. Sept. 25.-Judge Duffy
to-day denied the petition Of Senator Cor
man and the array Of Democratic lawyers
representing him for a recount of the
ballots of the primary election on August
% by the grand jury with the aid of tel
lers. He said that the petition was not
necessary. as the grand jury and States
attorney could handle the case. He grant
ed petition Of the jury for a general
recount. but said that II would be illegal
for them to have clerical assistance. The
jury started on count OF the ballots Of
the Fourth ward.
The boxes OF the first four precincts
Of the ward were inspected, but no an
nouncement was made as TO the results.
AS no prcsentmCnts were presented, II is
assumed that tho divergenCes between
the official and the actual counts. If any,
were not of sufficient importance TO de-
mand immediate action. The Fourth
ward. it is expected, will show some
frauds 'NcG" Ash has promised to
swallow a locomotive for every one dis
covered.
The jury will tomorrow continue its
recount and will petition the court to
sign an order to hold intact the boxes
containing the ballots cast in the mu-
nicipal primary election. After the jury
has finished probing the State primary,
II will tnen investigate the municipal bal
lots
Police Justice Loden, one of the Demo-
cratic city leaders. appeared before the
jury this morning and was asked whether
the Democratic organization sent out 90
900 ballots with CrOss-marks after the
names OF the candidates favored by the
bosses. This was done Immediately before
the primaries. The jury is working on
the theory that this constitutes conspir-
acy and is responsible for the corruption
OF the lesser fellows
Senator German wants the count over
as soon as possible. and may appeal to
Gov. Crothers to call a special session of

FINANCE,AND REALTY

Trading was light at yesterdays ses-
sion of the local exchange, and an easier
trend in prices was evidenced rather by
the bidding than the actual transactions.
In the few sales there was some recess
sion, though some of the utility bonds
showed strength.
The heavy falling off in values on the
New York exchange is having a notice.
able effect on the local bourse. Even
when an inclination TO decline on general
principles had been gratified by drops in
several stocks during the regular CALL the
late news of the wiping out in values in
New York during the after call" period
was responsible for further breaks in
prices.
Gas 5s and Traction IS showed good
strength. although the former is still
below its old mark of 10. Three thou
sand dollars worth of the Gas bonds
face value, went at 1O9X yesterday. Trac-
tion 5s were traded in more freely, $3.50
worth of the securities selling universally
at 11O12.
Railway common showed further weak
ness, twenty-five shares selling at 20, and
fractional sale following at Al Pre-
ferrcd sold on a range between S7% and
SSH, the lower level being paid for the
only quotation lot sold. Washington Gas
sold universally at 81, sixty-one shares
being traded in.
Stock of the Merchants Transfer and
Storage appeared in the sales for the first
time in months, seven shares being sold
at III. Mergenthaler failed to show any
strength regained. only one share being
sold and that bringing only 22i. Two
shares of the District National consti-
tuted the entire attention paid bank

Per Capita Debt Decreasing.

That the per capita debt Of the United
States is decreasing rapidly is indicated
in a report by the Bureau OF Statistics
Of the Department OF Commerce and
Labor on the material resources OF the
country during the period 1S00-l9ll. The
per capita debt is now $lOS5, as COM
pared with SIS .63 at the beginning OF that
period. and S76.9 at the close of the civil
war in 1861.
The interest charge shows a net de-
crease. In 1890 II was 81 cents. in 1SGf
it was SAP. and in 1912 it is estimated at
% cents. The per capita circulation of
morey is estimated at S34 81 for this year,
as compared with $40 in 1850.
