VIEW OF
CLEVELAND
"Great Man and Great Presi-
dent, But Not Great Lawyer
or Economist"
s=
NEW COLLEGE DEDICATED
Memorial Tower to Cleveland
Part of the Fine New
Institution
NEW COLLEGE DEDICATED

Princeton, Get. 22.-Former Presi-
dent Taft delivered the address, dedi-
ing the. Princeton university Sradu-
ate college and the Grover Cleveland
memorial tower before distinguish
ed company of European and Ameri-
can learned men.
Taft's estimate of Cleveland was ex-
part, as follows:
"CIeveland was not a great lawyer;
not q great economist; not a great
orator; but ne was a great president
and great man; and he was these be-
cause of a strong MIND, a clear intel
ligence and wide knowledge of af-
fairs. He nad the character, honesty,
courage and sense of public duty which
enabled him to meet great and criti-
cal issues without regard to personal
consequences.
when he was nominated for the
third time he was nominated against
the will of the politicians and by a
popular uprising in the ranks of the
party.
when he left the White House the
last time it would seem the bitterness
enmity and open attack upon him by
his former party associates would
oyerwhelm him, but as the yesterdays
wear on his dignified retirement, in
the great benefit he brought for this
university and in the wide influence
for good he exercised, the whole pub
lie began to perceive the exceptional
qualities of the man. Now he has TAX
en- the place he earned"
At the close Of the exercises Richard
Cleveland, son Of the former president
released to the wind the flag that had
flown over the White House during
CIeveland's second administration
Cleveland's portrait in the graduate
college was draped with the flag
which had covered his casket.

The administration takes the view
that, as the nearest neighbor to Mex
leo, this government should have a
free hand in trying to bring about
pacidcation. - ~.
1t is expected therefore that the re-
ported statement of the British min
lister that the United States did not
understand the conditions in Mexico
will be the subject of further inquiry
with the possibility of important de-
velopments.
Diplomatic circles today took in.
creased interest in the situation and

tions pending.

MARKET TAKES ON

Both Sides Await Census
Figures TOmOrrOw-Bulls
Take Profits

New Orleans, October 23.-The cot
ton market took on a waiting attitude
today, both sides being willing to cur
tail operations pending the census bu-
reau report on ginning, due Saturday
At times there were bursts of buying
and for while short selling was in
evidence but fresh operations either
way were not of Importance. Bulls
were profit takers on the bulges, which
held the market within narrow limits
The opening was steady at a rise of
6 to points on good cables and un-
favorable weather map. In the early
trading prices went Z to points up
but short selling developed toward tife
middle of the morning on the forecast
of fair weather for the western belt
and prices fell off. finally showing a
loss of to points compared with
yesterdays close. The market worked
within a narrow range for some time.
finally going to 10 points over yes
terday's final figures, but in the aft
ernoon trading became dull and under
moderate selling prices eased off to
about the lowest levels of the day. The
close was steady at a net decline OF
l to points.
The weather map and detailed re-
ports showed much rain in the belt and
the forecast predicted more rain for
the eastern half of the cotton region.
Reports from the crop were generally
unsatisfactory which kept the under
tone OF the market fairly steady.

appeared to be the transactions of ar
bitrage brokers who were very heavy
sellers in this market all day We are
told the continental spinners were also
sellers here today on the idea that pres

to the crop from frost and rain.
In fact, although the market advances
over a series of days, there seems little
modification of the bearish views so long
held by the trade. If we are compelled
to look for a crop well under 14000, 900

GOOD SHOWING IN

A Better Demand Develops

in Speculative Shares

New York, October 2s.--In spite of a se-
the market made a fairly good showing
After declines of l to 2 points had oc-
CURED among all the leading speculative
shares with an outpouring of offerings
, which for a time threatened to upset the
market badly, better demand developed
I Trading became q,seter as the bear opera
tors encountered effective opposition, and
there ensued a slow recovery which ulti-
matey restored prices close to yesterday s
final range. The list moved off from the
best figures in the late dealing, but the
close was well above the low points of the
day.
Operators on the long side professed en-
couragement at the markets ability 20
recover as it did today, following the
huoyant advances of Tuesday, and were
confident that the list was gradually
working around to a better position. No
material change has occurred in the gem
eral situation, but there has been dis
tinct Improvement in certain lines To-
days report of the idle car movement
showed that for the first time this season
there was a shortage of freight cars. The
report was in keeping with recent trade
reviews which told of activity in general
bushes. Rates for both time and call
money were lowered today. Improvement
In investment conditions was indicated
by the floating of several bond issues.
Despite these improving tendencies the
feeling of the trading element as a whole
remained distinctly bearish. Much was
made of discouraging- news from the steel
trade, the favorite topic of the bears.
Steel was unloaded in a rapid succession
of large blocks during the early trading,
and it's recession of nearly 2 points did
much to force down the list as a whole.
London selling was a depressing indu-
enee American stocks were marked
down in London before the opening here
and the decline abroad was followed by
The disposal of 1900 or more shares here
for foreign account.
The intimation of Chairman Elliott of
the New Haven ut the annual meeting
that the dividend rate probably would be
cut to 4 per cent caused a slump of 3
points in that stock to 50, new low rec
ord. Subsequently, it made a partial re-
covery. Bonds showed traces of specu-
lative selling under which most issues

departure. In short the jail safe was

or remember the combination. An ex-

the strong box. No reflection upon the
officers.

No change in poultry was registered
yesterday but the supplies are good
and the demand brisk. Eggs are selling
from % to % cents and dealers say
that there is a demand for all they
can secure. 1t is not expected that there
will be a rise in price of eggs until
later in the season. The prediction is
made that eggs will hover about 40
cents as the holidays approach and that
the supply will be none too good.

Bears had their own way most of the
time in the wheat pit To such an eN-
tent was this that they oversold at the
bottom prices, and 1t took only little
antagonism to start a scare of shorts
near the end of the session. Earlier in
the day, however, sentiment was domi-
mated by the fact that instead of arrivals
diminishing northwest the number of
loaded cars coming into termi-
nails had increased Further
more, cable quotations We're disappoint-
ing to the bulls and there were adyices
that Russian stocks were enlarging
rapidly
Encouraging demand for cash wheat
helped to lift the option market. Sales
to mills were $4,000 bushels and Balti-
more announced that export bids We're
only nc under the asking price.
Husking reports that repelled short SELF
ers turned the corn market upgrade,
but not until bull leaders did consider
able reducing of holdings. Fine weather
was responsible for much of the selling
and there were seaboard advices of con-
tinued sales of cargoes from Argentina,
Oats developed strength owing to dis
patches from Buffalo, which told of poor
condition shown by Canadian shipments.
Cash houses here were active buyers
Commission house demand for lard put
backbone into provisions. The market
received aid also from an increase in the
price of live hogs.
