Of the Caroline aboard, to give the posi-

tugs NJ. w. Hunt and Howard Reeder

When the barges went adrift in the
gale thetug Prudence, which had been in
tow, took off their crews and continued to
Norfolk with others barges of her tow
so that exactly where they went down
is not known. The barges were each
loaded with hard coal, their combined
cargoes amounting to over 1,5O0 tons.

ROOSEVELT TAKES THE STUMP

Next week will be very important
period in national politics. One hundred
and forty delegates to the republican
national convention will be chosen and
the weeks work will bring the tota
number selected up to 80. The New
York republican primaries will be hello
next Tuesday for the selection Of 81
district delegates.
The Indiana state convention will be
held Tuesday. the Colorado state con-
vention Wednesday, the Mississippi
state convention Thursday and dis
trict conventions will be held in many
states during the week.
Interest will center in the New York
state primary and the Indiana state
convention. In the estimate of Presi-
dent Tafts probable strength in the
convention. in which he was given 729
votes. Roosevelt was allowed Is votes
in Indiana and 20 in the state of New
York. The general view now is that
the third term candidate will not come
up to the expectation of the Taft
prophets in either one of these states.
Most observers take the view that If
New York and Indiana elect practically
unanimous delegations for the Presi-
dent the nomination may as well be
conceded to Mr.. Taft.

Roosevelt Managers Active.

During the coming week the managers
of the Roosevelt campaign will make a
final effort to arouse fresh interest in
their candidate. Mr.. Roosevelt will cam
pagn in Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota and
Michigan from Tuesday until Saturday.
incidentally, he will do what he can for
himself in northern Indiana. The Taft
managers say they are not worried about
the effect of the third-term candidate 8
speaking tour. They are rather disposed
to believe that he will hurt his own
cause. They say that SO far he has
driven away support by every speech he
has made since he became candidate.
The four states in which the third-term
candidate will campaign during the week
have been regarded as Roosevelt strong
holds. In the original Taft estimate of
delegates Roosevelt was allowed sixteen
in Missouri, eighteen in Illinois. eight In
Minnesota and twelve in Michigan. The
Taft managers say that even if Roosevelt
succeeds in mending the broken lines Of
the forces in these states he will not fare
better than was indicated by the original
estimate.

mission is to oppose Roosevelt in states
where there is insurgent republican SEN

the whole of next week in Wisconsin. his
home state, where the primaries are to be
held April 2. but since the third-term
candidate has decided not to contest for
delegates in that state the senator Will
rest until April 1.
The Roosevelt forces had planned to
make a fight in Wisconsin. but after the
progressives in North Dakota had re-
jected the third-term candidate in such
an emphatic way they decided to stay
out of La Follette's state It Is now
very generally understood here that
Senator La Follettes ambition is to make

That it may he possible for him to
CRAFTY this ambition is the claim of. some
politicians. 1t is pointed out. for instance.
that if Roosevelt should fail to get the
Texas delegation of forty votes and
should run behind La Toilette in Ne
braska, Oregon and Minnesota, the sena-
tor would show up in the Chicago con-
man who he says attempted to crowd
him out of the race.
Taft to Answer Roosevelt.
President Taft will make several
speeches during the month of April. He
has Indicated to his campaign managers
|. that he will take care of the third-term
I candidate. He plans to answer every
speech made. by Roosevelt. The proba-
| bility is that he will make one more
trip to Ohio before the delegates are
chosen in that state. He lis anxious to
go into the convention with at least 800
delegates.

THE CROP MARKETS
Cereals and Cotton Close Lower
Coffee Shows an Advance.

Weakness was the principal feature OF
the markets for cereals when trading
ceased on Friday. and wheat, after
slight advance closed about one cent lower
than on Thursday When the selling move
ment started it seemed as II the market
we're overloaded and lttle power Of resist
ance was shown. More favorable weather
conditions and improved crop prospects
were held responsible for the drop in
prices.
Corn and oats shared ir the downward
movement OF wheat, and were 1su@sc Off
from Thursdays figures at the close.
Cotton was also under the influence Of
the downward tendency, and in spite Of
an opening advance Of from 2 TO points
broke under the pressure OF lot OF long
cotton. Bulges and reactions finally brought
the staple to a position to 10 points below
Thursdays figures, where it closed at the
lowest OF the day.
Cottonseed oil, after an initial weakness,
recovered some % the loss, but at the end
was / to points lower, although closing
figures were near the best Of the day.
There was sharp break in provisions
also, and the low point OF the session was
reached only few minutes before the
close.
Under the influence OF prospects for a
small crop next season coffee made .
gain OF from IL to 10 points and buyers
were not swamped by offerings. even at
the advanced rates. Crop holders seem con-
fdent of their position, but conditions do
not seem TO cause interior roasters and
distributors enough anxiety to warrant an
important bull movement.

In his report TO the stockholders, says that

was thought best by the directors to write
Off $4,000 for this discount. the result being
TO make tho net profit only ;ll5.sl2. or 5,SSS

year. The company has now paid off Its
entire bonded debt, ana the directors hope

train for South Bethlehem to inspect tho
Bethlehem Steel Company plants mum

FOR by William Solomon & 60, itaTyc,
Fisk & Sons and Hollrartcn & 60. tho un-
derwritnE syndicate Of the recently issued
81. 20o 900 per cent Bethlehem Steel bonds.
President Charles NJ Schvab Of the Both
lehcm steel Corporation was the personal
host Of tho party, and explained To- tire
money men many things about the steel
business which many of them did not know
before and some Of them may not know
yet Following n luncheon after arrival
in South Bethlehem. Mr. Schwah compl-
mented his staff by giving them first place
in point Of efficiency and faithfulness among
all he had ever encountered in thrty-two
years Of steel making. and said that the
present staff constituted one OF the chief
assets Of the corporation.
Mr. Schwab spoke Of the growth Of the
company since 1906 when II did business
Of less than 100000, which IN 1911 had
increased to 100000. lie further said
that in a few years the growth should he
800 900 900. He remarked that II IN 1911
prices had been as high as the average fer
the last ten years the Bethlehem company
would have shown - per cent earnings on
it's common stock. In speaking Of future
possibilities for tho steel industry hc cited
the fact that thirty years ago this coun-
try consumed only 100000 tons Of ste"I
per annum. In 1911 the total was %, 900
tons. and in ten years more probably would
amount TO 100000 tons. The Bethlehem
company has been making structural steel
ONLY four years. but already makes 90 per
cent Of the total quantity consumed I'm this
country.
