DAILY LETTER
ON FINANCE

New York, Oct. 21--Interest in
financial affairs centered mainly
around Washington. where further
conferences were held between Repre-
sentatives Of the British finance min
lister and officials of the United States
treasury, and in which some of the
prominent banking interests of the
country were participants. The out
come of these meetings. which are to
be continued in this city. is expected
to have a very direct bearing, not only
upon existing foreign exchange condi-
tios. but also upon the broad question
of the re-opening' of the London and
New York stock exchanges.
Washington was also the seat of
continued negotiations relative to the
organization of the proposed cotton
pool, in which a hitch was reported.
The chief obstacle in the way of this
plan is said to be the disinclination
of the federal reserve board to assume
full responsibility for the project on
the ground that other and more press
ing duties are now before it for con-
sideration.
There was another abrupt break in
exchange on London, cables being
quoted at 1861 and demand bills at
4.96, these quotations representing de-
clines of 2 cents or more from last
weeks high figures. Business was very
active, because of today's fast steam
er. The decline was generally asso-
ciated with the recent heavy foreign
demand for our commodities, and gave
especial point to advices from Chica-
go, to the effect that the grain exports
constituted record-breaker.
Depression in steel and copper con-
tinues with lower prices for copper
metal and steady diminution of ship
ments of finished steel from leading
mills. In fact. the state Of the steel
industry at this time is such as to
indicate an abandonment virtually Of
price schedules. Some announcement
on this point is expected at the third
quarterly meeting of the United States
Steel directors a week from today.
Time money was quotably easier in
some instances, but actually un-
changed. Local banks are holding
themselves in readiness for prospec-
tive renewals later in the month, some
of these contracts representing 80 day
loans made shortly before the stock
exchange suspended operations. Money
on call was freely offered at an av-
erage rate Of 61s per cent, the supply
exceeding the demand Banks in the
granger sections are buying moder-
ately on high class commercial paper
at per cent. but the inquiry from
other sources is light.
Discounts in London were slightly
lower. the strong gold position of the
Bank of England being the chief con-
tributing factor.

PACKERS WORK
DAY and NIGHT

Chicago. Oct. 21.--For the drst time
in. sixteen years the meat packers at
the Chicago stockyards are working
day and night in the canned meat and
hide departments in order to fill or
ders. The unusual activity has been
caused by the large orders received as
a result of the European war. In the
canning departments Of the big pack
ers alone 5000 extra men have been
put to work within a week in order to
operate the plants at their fullest ca
pacity
The visible domestic supply of can
ming beef was depleted several weeks
ago, and the packers began sending to
foreign fields for cattle suitable for
this purpose. AS a result Canada,
Mexico nd southern states which new
er before shipped livestock to this
market have been sending their cattle
here and receiving good price for
their product.
The packers announce that their en-
tire stock of hides on hand has been
contracted for and that orders have
been received that will exhaust the
normal supply for November and De-
cember. .a-.
Until recently the normal trade in
hides in Chicago has averaged from
10000 to $4,000 hides week. Last
week 10000 hides were sold on the
local market.

OPPOSE
JUDICIAL
RECALL

Washington, Oct. 21.-Emphatic op-
position to the judicial recall, a plea
that congress should apply the same
rule to injunction in labor cases as to
other cases in injunction, and refer
ences to Panama tolls and Japanese
immigration, are among the questions
treated in reports of committees pre-
sented today to the American Bar
association now in annual session
here.
Concerning the status Of judicial re-
call agitation, the committee to OPP
pose judicial recall reports in part as
follows:
"a preceptible change in sentiment
toward the judicial recall is slowly but
surely showing itself among the peo-
pie of the different states. In many
localities it's true nature Is not yet

probation of it's baneful character.

Claims Steel Trust
Crushed Competitors

Philadelphia. Oct 2t.-Argument in
the suit of the federal government,
which is seeking to break up the
United States Steel corporation by
separating into independent units all
of its subsidiaries on the. ground that
their combination into the one concern
constituted a violation of the anti
trust laws, was begun here before four
judges sitting as the United States
court for the district of New Jersey.
Jacob M. Dickinson, former secretary
of war. who has been in charge of
the governments side of the case since
it was instituted in October 1911, took
up the entire day in presenting the
prosecution, and is continuing today.
The entire week will be taken up by
the final arguments of counsel for each
side. The opening days argument
produced no sensations and there was
little brought out that was new. The
steel corporation has been under in
vestigation not only by the depart
ment of justice. but by the federal
bureau of corporations and congress
sional committees, and much Of the
testimony dwelt upon today by Mr..
Dickinson has been published in re-
ports and in newspapers.
Counsel for the government told the
court IndL IH6
tion, in magnitude and strength, is the
greatest combination of capital ever
brought together under one. control.
Mr. Dickinson began his argument by
going back more than a score of years
into the history of American indus
tries. He told Of the sharp competi-
tion that then existed in the iron,
steel, tinplate and kindred industries;
of how pools were formed in the steel
rail field. and how agreements were
made among manufacturers of iron
and steel to keep up prices; how these
pools dried up and agreements were
schemed to put one another out Of
business; how one steel concern would
absorb another and gradually led UP
to the formation of the gigantic cor
poration now under fire.
Mr.. Dickinson told how the five
great industrial and financial interests
came together and formed the steel
corporation in 1901. The five great
interests he named were headed by
the late J. P. Morgan. Andrew Car
negie, w. H and j. HI. Moore, John
w. Gates and John d. Rockefeller. He
went into intricate details to show
how the steel corporations capital of
more than $1,400,000,000 was made up,
and he charged that more than $780,
100000 of this is water. ....,...
Continuing his story. Mr.. Dickinson
told how the steel corporation and its
subsidiaries kept up prices and he

Contention Of Railroads

Washington, Oct 21.--Counsel for
shippers and shippers associations
took the position before the interstate
commerce commission yesterday that
no condition confronts American rail-
roads as q result Of the European war
or any other cause that does not
equally affect every other industry.
This contention was the basis for rigid
cross examination of witnesses called
before the commission by the eastern
railroads to support their petition for
relief through a general increase OF at
least per cent in freight rates.
