COMPETITION STORY.

The disadvantages Of competition are
considered briefly in the Bache review OF
October 26, as follows: "One OF the most
recent minor incidents which affects In
this case the farmer is that OF the grape
growers in Southern Michigan. Some OF
these people, in order 10 obtain a better
price for their crop, formed a cooperative
association. Later on another was formed
by other growers. and after that still
another. At first the grape growers re-
ceived benefit in better prices. due to the
cooperation and economy of the associa-
ton, but before long these associations,
being each independent Of the other, came
into competition, which grew to such an
below the actual cost of production This
was q fine thing for the consumer, but
death to the farmer. When it became
apparent that competition Of this charac-
ter was so detrimental the associations
endeavored TO come together, but were
frightened out of this by their attorneys.
who advised them that any such opera
ton would make them Criminally liable
under the Sherman law. The proposed
combination OF the three associations
would have resulted In the farmers being
able to get back the cost OF their work
and a fair profit in addition. but the
Sherman law made it necessary, and still
does So for the associations TO continue
to compete. Here then is developed a
demonstration that old-fashioned compe-
tition will not solve the problem for both
producer and consumer, and under it's
strict observance, under some circum-
stances, even the poor farmer must either
work at loss or go out of business

PRINT CLOTH MARKETS.
lBy Telegraph to The TrIbune.l

BY Telegraph TO The Tribune
Fail River Mass, Oct H.-The New
England cloth markets failed to snow
much activity last week, although the
amount OF business done was by no means
small. Brokers who ere in position 10
estimate sales have stated that about
100000 pieces were sold last week. The
weakness shown by cotton prices several
days ago have imbued the minds of buy
ers with a desire to insist upon lower
prices, but mills, on the other hand. have
set themselves against anything like this,
and have made IT plain to some buyers
that they will maintain prices which have
been named
There were some inquiries for 43-inch
sateens and 39-inch three-leaf twills, but
prices which were named by mills did not
meet with the approval OF buyers, and,
therefore, no large amount Of business
was put through in these lines. The de-
mand for wide plain goods was fair, with
moderate amount OF business being
done. The narrow end Of the market was
rather quiet, with very little interest be-
ing shown in the transactions. There
the pound, at 3$4c per yard, the market
price. but these sales did not have much
effect upon general trading in narrow
goods.
The cotton yarn markets were moder-
ately active last week, but business was
not voluminous by any means. Buyers
have endeavored in the past to secure
goods for their immediate uses, but when
it came TO contracting for future require
ments a snag was encountered because
buyers have refused to meet asking prices
by spinners. The raw cotton market de-
veloped small amount of strength last
week. but the firmness failed to have any
apprecIable effect upon cloth values. \
large number Of mills held their annual
meetings last week, and some of the re-
ports which were submitted to the stock
holders manifested a fairly good year,
while other statements made II appear
that some mills had much difficulty dur
ing the twelve months recently ended.

An effort has recently been made by a
large public utility corporation to place
bonds in small denominations In the COM
munity In which the company operates.
and II is reported that the available
supply Of 500 bonds OF this Issue was
quickly absorbed.
Persons of small means prefer TO put
their money into an enterprise with which
they are familiar. This fact IL making a
new field Of bond investors.
Cultivating the home field has developed
a most favorable attitude toward cor
porations who have adopted this policy.
For a long time there was prejudice
against bonds Of small denominations on
the part OF the bankers. To-day they
realize the necessity OF distributing their
bonds in small quantities
When a corporation proposes 10 issue
bonds IL Is the banker, as rule, VINO
determines the amount Of the issue, the
security, the rate OF interest, the time
that It shall be brought upon the market
and in what denominations the bonds
shall be made.
Many Of the public utility corporations
which have brought out bond issues lately
have incorporated the small bond plan,
and owing to their attractive yield have
been popularity received.
