THE BOLTED
DOOR

Brooke CARROT raised his eyes and
looked at the Bolted Door-it was still
the symbol of thwarted hope, the
semaphore that signaled a block on
the road to happiness. Like the Tor
hidden door of Bluebird, the door lead
ing TO his wife's apartments was the
one door in the old Judson house that
must mot be opened. He had won

He started forward in his chair. Was

He wondered whether II was really
Natalie, his wife, or only phantom
Of hope. But the dor, the door that
had separated them since their absurd
marriage, was no longer bolted.
Il thought perhaps my visit here

Supervision of Railway Issues.

"The Bache Review of last week said:
"Of the three antitrust bills covering the
subjects which President Wilson is press
ing for legislative consideration the last
was introduced into the House on Thurs
day and covers federal supervision of the
issuance of stocks and bonds by railroads
The bill contains other provisions which
are being criticised. The governmental
supervision of the issuance Of railroad
stocks and bonds IT, however. probably
a step in the right direction, the present
objection being that this authority rests
also with most Of the states through
which interstate railroads pass. and as
in the case of taxes and rates. this would
seriously conflict with government super
vision, TO the detriment OF the carriers
as some roads would be required not only
to get government approval, but that also
of the states, and the railroad situation
would thus become still further compii-
Gated.
1T would seem as though federal incor-
poration of interstate railroads IS the only
solution of difficulties similar TO this re-
lieving roads of all regulation, except
from one superior source"

Cotton Dull and Lower.

II is not 10 be wondered at that the cot
ton market for the week was the dullest
so far this year when ii is remembered
that a special committee Of Congress has
been at work on an anticipation bill OF a
radical nature, and no one here has been
able TO get a line on what the outcome
viii be. In addition 10 this, prices for
Nav. June and July are a cent pound
higher than they were year ago ana
weather conditions have been somewhat
against the planters. There has been con-
siderable trading in the July option, prin-
ciDalv connected with straddle opera
Hons in the Liverpool market. but out
side OF this II has been weather mar
ket and traders have seen no induce
ments for buying either for investment
or speculation
The Augusta conference OF delegates
from cotton exchanges has shown that
the Southern people realize that eN-
changes are necessary 20 help the mar
keting Of the crop. and that, while the
present method Of trading in futures
might not be all that was best, 1t should
be regulated. but not destroyed. The IN
ternationai contract adopted at the Liv-
erpool convention last summer seemed
10 find the most favor, together with the
idea that government types Of the stand
ard grades should be made up of middling
INLAND as well as Gulf and that the
<staple length should be three-fourths av-
erage instead Of the seven-eighths sug-
eested. The New York exchange is not
believed 10 be I'm favor OF all the points
agreed upon at the conference, fearing
that they will have too much OF dis
turbing effect on business. In the mean
time the trade is keeping close watch Of
the July option. and much of the bust
ness has been in new crop deliveries. Re-
views OF the drygoods situation show
little or no change in conditions, and
for the present the weather is the domi-
nant influence on the course Of prices.

There has been little interest in the
