New York Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE govern
ment report giving the condition of
the crop on July % will be issued at
noon Friday, August 2. If the report
had been issued a week ago the trade
would have been surprised at a cOndi-
ton of as low as IS per cent, but since
the publication of our preliminary
figures on July "a, indicating a condi-
tion of 1876, the market has advanced
about S4 per bale and sentiment has
become so bullish that the government
is now expected to make the condition
not much if any better than about 16.
At around 1325c for the new crop
options such a figure has probably
been discounted for the moment, but
a condition of 76 would indicate a
crop of only about 12,500,000 bales.
This would still be very bullish and
would warrant much higher prices in

0. X. STEEL SCHEDULE
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS ADOPTS IT;
WITH BUT SINGLE CHANGE.
Opponents to Public Buildings Bill
Bring About Adjournment Of
Meeting Until Next Week.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Representa-
tive Underwood of Alabama, majority
leader in the house, won and lost a
victory at the Democratic house
caucus last night
With the exception that an amend
ment was adopted adding to the free
list baling wire, the iron and steel
schedule reported from the ways and
means committee was adopted with
out changing a word. But Mr.. Under
wood and the Democratic leaders who
were standing by him, finding that
they could not muster enough votes
against a public buildings bill this
session, did the next best thing they
could do under the circumstances and
adjourned the caucus to meet on Mon
day night next, when they hope to
have sufficient support to defeat the
measure carrying an appropriation of
$16,0O0,0O0 reported from the COM
mittee on public buildings and
grounds
The only discordant notes at the
caucus were sounded by Representa-
tive Rucker of Missouri and Repre-
sentative Taylor of Colorado. Rucker
declared that he would not abide by
the action of the caucus because he
wanted higher duty on zinc than
that carried in the bill as reported.
Taylor said he had made a pledge to
his constituents that he would work
for increased duties on lead. He also
refused to be governed by the caucus
action.
Representative Martin of Colorado,
although he did not bolt the caucus,
spoke at some length against the
schedule adopted.
There was not roll call during the
caucus on any of the amendments
offered to the steel schedule.

SCORES ON PACKERS U. S. LAPANS FRIEND
GOVERNMENT WINS MOST I'M
PORTANT POINT IN TRIAL.
Judge Admits National Company's
Private Records in Evidence over
Vigorous Protest by Counsel.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-The paddock
of packing-houses and wholesale meat
companies are alleged to have been
combined under the central control
of the National Packing company
went into the records of the packers
trial over the united protests of coun-
sci for the packers.
Practically disregarding the obiec-
tions which four of the leading pack
ers' attorneys took turns in present
ing, Indge Carpenter delivered an
opinion which the government con
sidered one of the most important vic
tories it has obtained in the course
of the trial.
Every item in the history of the
National Packing company" the court
ruled, from the day Of its birth to
the end of the period covered by the
indictment in September, 1910 will
be considered pertinent evidence.
THE government has commended
that the National Packing company
has been used as an instrumentality
for effecting an unlawful combination
in restraint of trade. 1t is conceivable
the manner in which the stock of the
acquired companies is entered upon
the books of the National company
may throw light upon TIE real mo-
tives of the company's organizers.
Judge Carpenter carefully examined
the entries in the Nationals private
ledger" before he ruled that it might
be introduced as throwing light on
the motives actuating the organizers
of the company.
