COAL MONOPOLY ARGUMENT

New York, Nov. 1O.-Final argu-
ment in the governments effort to
break up the alleged nard coal monopl
oily is set for tomorrow before Judge
Hough in the United States district
court. The department of justice last
month filed its brief in the antitrust
suit against the Lehigh Valley Coal
Sales company The bill against this
and other companies alleged to be in
unlawful combination, was filed
months ago. The government charges
that the concerns, through other sub
sidiary coal companies, monopolized
coal production, transportation and
sale from mines ON the Lehigh Valley
railroad, and that in perfecting this
monopoly more than 10000 acres in
the anthracite region have been ac-
quired and competitors absorbed and
output curtailed by purchase con.
tracts. The coal companies will make
a spirited defense.

National bank Of Tucumcaris said:
Local conditions are very good. We
have had good crops and more live
stock than in years previous. and all
in good condition. The increase in
stock, however, has not been normal,
the colt and calf crops being a lirtle
short. Dairying is developing into
quite factor in the resources of the
country. We feel to some extent the
general tightness in money Money
is not as easy as when general condi-
tions have been better. Locally the
prospects are good"
G. N. Blackwell, president of the
First National bank, Ration, said;
Business conditions are good. We
were near the seat of the coal trou-
bles but they did not affect us. Our
interests lie largely with the stock
raisers. The outlook is good. Stock
and coal companies are doing we'll"
Roy zimmerman, cashier of the
First State Bank ana Trust company,
Roswell, said: Conditions are very
good The situation eased on account
of the movement of cattle and a
slight movement of alfalfa. The
prospects are good We have reason
to believe that a good fall and spring
are ahead. Apples, too, are begin
ming to move, and more horses are
being sold We have sent away five
or six carloads to the war. Taking
things by and large, the outlook is
good one"
H. J. Hammond, head of the First
National bank Of Clayton, said:
Conditions are most prosperous. Our
dry farmers have been more success
full this year than ever before. All
the forage crops have been good. Dry
farming has yielded as much as 80
bushels to the acre, and corn as much
as 40 bushels to the acre. The irri-
gated farms, of course, yield as heay-
lily as irrigated farms in other parts
of the state. Cattle, OF course, is
Unions chief resource Cattle pros
poets are excellent. There has been
plenty of grass and stock should go
through the winter the best it has in

REPRESENTATIVE NEW MEXICO
FINANcIERS PREDICT THE
STATES FUTURE

albuquerque, Nov 10.--Local busi-
ness conditions are excellent in New
Mexico, except for the weakening of
the copper producing industry that
has resulted from the European war,
according to the statements made by
bankers attending the state conven-
ton here.
jefferson Reynolds, president OF
the First National bank of Las Vegas,
speaking for d. r. Hoskins, president
of the association and cashier Of the
San Miguel National bank of Las
Vegas, as well as for himself, said
that his neighborhood had enjoyed the
most prosperous year ever known in
that part of the country Rains start
ed early and fell abundantly at oppor-
tune times, bringing UP a heavy
growth of grass and forage crops.
September was dry, so that the grow
ing things matured finely and were
gathered successfully. The crops nave
been stored in silos and dairying and
the fattening of cattle and sheep are
promising rich returns. 1t is the first
time that the fattening OF stock has
been essayed. The dry farmers have
received great stimulus and the condi-
tions surrounding the irrigation farm
ers are excellent. The prospects IN
general are fine.
IF congress in it's wisdom added
MIR. Reynolds, will let the economic
condition of the country alone, we
will have the greatest period of pros
perity we have ever enjoyed"
Frank R. Coons, cashier of the First
National bank of Lordsburg, said:
Local conditions are as good as ever
at present, although we feel the eff
feet of general conditions. Cattle have
moved and we feel as easy as ever
we have. Range conditions are excel
lent. The only cloud on the local sit
uation is that the mines are working
only half as much as before the Euro
pean war"
John Corbett, president of the Bank
of Deming, said; Conditions are me
dunn good. The mining industry has
been hard hit by the war, but the cat
tie industry is prosperous and the
farmers have done fairly well. Our
cattle are not as numerous as in years
gone by. Prospects are encouraging.

after the finaI meeting on Thurg.

til after the final meeting on Thurs
day.
Although hard hit BY the lack Of
patronage during the past season,
baseball owners are optimistic Of the
coming season, and there is a general
desire in the conservative ranks to
prevent any open disruption. The de-
mands OF the players, and the situa-
ton which the Federal league has
created, is no little cause for worry
but the owners in the old major
leagues are confident they can pilot
their crafts over the rocks.
That the owners will be forced to
enter into some defensive plan in or
der to meet what is generally declar-
ed to be exorbitanr demands of the
players, is conceded. Although no
baseball club owner will acknowledge
that the players have held the whip
hand this year, it is generally recog-
nized that the owners have been at
the mercy of the players.
The activity Of the Federals has
made this condition possible, and the
players have not overlooked their
chances. Frequent reports that over
lures have been made to the Ameri-
can and National league magnates by
the Federals. will not down. A get
ting together between the two old
major leagues and the Federals would
OF course close up one of the big gaps
which the players have relied upon
to boost their own cause.
The demands of the players fratern-
ity will be strongly put this year, and
| it is said that there are many Of them.
At the Columbus meeting year ago
the fraternity brought in long string
OF demands Some of them were met,
but most were tabled until this year
and those tabled demands viii be the
basis of spirited fight, according to
the players. Whether the magnates
will be forced into consideration or
recognition Of the fraternity is a sub
ject of speculation here today.
Representatives of the Federal
league are in town and rumor has it
they are trying to effect an arrange
ment with some of the minor leagues
to form brand new organization,
with the FederaIs as their leaders.
The Federals, it is said, are offering
some choice bait for their purposes,
and the strength of organized bage-
ball will be tested to the limit, il is
believed.
Tonight the visiting league men will
be entertained at the theater and to-
morrow night the annual banquet viii
take place, unless open disruption oc-
ours.

ORGANIZATION IS

SITUATION OF LEADERS OF THE
BASEBALL WORLD Is
PREcARIoUS

Omaha, Nebr, Nov. 1O.-Closer or
ganization or open disruption will be
the result Of the big gathering Of the
minor leagues in this city, according
to those high in baseball circles. When
the National association Of Professio-
nal Baseball leagues opened their thir-
teenth annual meeting this morning,
representatives from one to eight in
number from each minor league in
America were on hand. There were
reports OF insistent demands to be
made, Of possible insurgency, and
even Of an open split unless the big
league magnates would make new
terms. Representatives Of the Amer
lean and National leagues were on
hand early. and all Gay yesterday they
held consultations with leaders in the
minor leagues, looking to the forma-
tion of policy for handling the diff
cult situations which are admittedly
certain to arise during the session.
The opening guns OF the meeting
were fired behind closed doors. and
It Is not expected that the result oi
the big conference win be known un
