 man Antitrust Laws.

Washington, Dec. 10-President Wilson outlined his trust busting plans and his remedial trust legls- lation to Chairman Clayton today and to the House Judiciary Committee
 The President does not believe that the New Jersey trust laws can be applied to the country. He is op- posed to a government commission to execute the antitrust laws.
 He believes that personal penalties applied to those who violate the antitrust laws will stop combinations and individuals from trying to estab- fish monopolies and corners in mar kets.
 He opposes any amendments to the Sherman antitrust law because such amendments would throw that law again be ore the Supreme Court for interpretation and three years would pass before there would be a ruling.
 The president has asked the House Judiciary Committee to recommend legislation supplemental to the Sherman antitrust law, wnicn shall embody the best provisions of the state laws against monopolies and combinations in restraint of trade.
 Chairman Clayton with his dele gation from the House Judiciary Committee told the President that no bill could be presented from his com- mittee without a hearing. MT. Clayton asked today that all members of the House opposing antitrust legislation should tell the committee wherein .he existing laws can be i'm proved.

The Versatile Kaiser

1t is only the unthinking that will
laugh at the German Emperor for his
possession of 5000 uniforms. At least they
are all of them more or less beautiful
uniforms, and it is no small thing that
someone should champion the cause of
beauty in male attire, says the Argo-
naut. And with women's prediction for
the hideous someone must champion the
cause of sartorial beauty or 1t will become
lost art. Possibly If the men OF our
own country had some legitimate excuse
for making themselves beautiful-of
course, in dress-they would be less in
clined to plaster themselves over with
gaudy medals and bits of ribbon when
ever they travel to some other town as
members of some trumpery association
or, conference.
On one occasion, when the Emperor
yacht. the Hohenzollern, was off the it.
ish coast, the officials stationed at Port
Victoria to receive him sighted him
standing on the bridge in the uniform of
a German general. Great was their as

ventional frock coat and top hat of an

that was so evident last week. Produce
dealers report very good demand with
an equally good supply and say that the
outlook is bright. A new shipment OF
pears arrived yesterday and the demand
for them was very br SIX all day, not

In the poultry market there is an eX-

sufficient to keep the supply moving

more spirit within the next few days.
1t is said that there are but few turkeys
on the market, but shipments are expected
to begin coming in about November 10.

COTTON MARKET
LOWER YESTERDAY
Local ard Southern Inspired
by Executions of Increas-
ing Movement

New York, November 9.-The cotton
market was lower today under scattering
liquidation, local and southern selling
which seemed to be largely inspired by
executions of an increasing movement,
with the appearance of better weather in
the south, or OF increased spot pressure.
Business was restricted by the fact that
New York will be closed tomorrow while
Liverpool and New Orleans will remain
open, and trading was comparatively quiet
after an early break, with the close steady
at net decline of IL to IS points.
Relatively weak cables were considered
responsible for an opening decline of to
10 points here and the market sold off to
a net loss of IS to q points during the
morning. Houses with southern connec-
lions all seemed to be pretty well sup
piled with selling orders and private adj
vices claimed that Liverpool had been In
tluenced by increased hedge selling. This
probably created an apprehension OF an
easier spot situation and the market was
generally settled during the morning.
Some stop orders were uncovered and
after their execution the market turned
a shade steadier on covering for over the
holiday and a little buying from trade
sources. Last prices showed rallies of
or points from the lowest An Alabama
spot firm says that the quality Of cotton
in the eastern belt will surpass the crop
of the past two seasons, but the tendency
to increase views of the yield was checked
somewhat during the afternoon by the es-
innate of a Chicago firm placing the crop
at only 1S,9OO 900 bales.

BANK STATEMENT

Per Cent to 2 Points
Decline in Leaders

New York. November 3.-Further re-
Spouse was made by stocks today to the
depressing news affecting speculative
opinion. The market was in'pellsd on a
downward course by the decline in Amer
lean stocks at London at first, which was
supplemented by moderate selling here for
foreign account. Here much was made
of the governments reported deetrmina-
ton to adopt sterner Mexican policy.
The highly unfavorable bank statement,
showing a deficit, also affected the mar
ket adversely Call loans We're renewed
at per cent. 1t was expected, how
ever, that the return of funds put out to
meet November l payments would quickly
eliminate the small deficit. Coal funds
broke late in the day to ? per cent.
The brief filed in the suit to dissolve the
International Harvester corporation was
cited as another cause of depression. The
street regarded the statement of the gov
ernment's position as indicating an I'M
compromising attitude in enforcement of
the Sherman antitrust law.
The decline in stocks ranged from 1 to
2 points among practically all the leaders.
Pressure was not severe, and there was a
small recovery toward the end. Mexican

IN COTTON MARKET
Bears Pressing Steadily
Against 1t; Bulls Offer
ing Little Support

New Orleans, November 3.-Cotton wal
at the decline today, bears pressing
steadily against it and bulls offering
little support. Gossip was OF the effect
that the market was becoming over
bought again and that leading bull in
terests were only too pleased to see some
of their followers liquidate. A feature
of the day was the tendency to higher
crop estimates. OF the several important
estimates that appeared all were over
l4O00,OO0 bales and one was over 1451o-
goo. Considerable short selling followed
these guesses.
The market opened steady at a loss of

prices in other markets Saturday when
New Orleans was closed, and because
OF favorable weather conditions. Before

points down on the most active months
AT this decline shorts took profits in a
large way and the demand from this
source was sufficient to absorb further
short selling. Toward noon there was n
recovery of about 10 points. but in the aft
ernoon the price fell off again and the
market closed steady at net loss of q
to % points.
In spite of the better weather over the
pelt crop reports were not favorable, but
made some very bearish claims regard
ing the damage done by recent low tenn
peratures. This checked the downward
movement by caus ng shorts to be wary
OF following the declines too far.
