ROOSEVELT WOULD FOLLOW EXAMPLE
 OF TEDDY, SENIOR
Has Eye on GoVernorship of New York as Step to Presi- dency-HaS Very Dem

By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-HeI
 HO0 nawyfdaau Vlt.

OVV OhNusou Buildlng. Washington, May )- Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Assistant Secretary of the Navy, who will be entirely in charge after Secretary Denby initiates his jaunt to the orient. may be a candidate for the republican nomination for governor of New York.
 There is very little doubt but that MT. Roosevelt has his eye fixed on the presidency. His father was Sec retary of the Navy; so Is he. His father was governor of New York; so he would be 1.-The emuIated his paternal example to that extent, why should not a grateful people make him President and thus fulfill des- tiny?
 That is his reasoning, 1t is indi- cated
 Following His Father
 Roosevelt. the younger, is not re- garded as a man of extraordinary force. His stature Is small, but per haps no smaller than was his fathers before he went west and learned the art of riding. But the Secretary doesn't seem to have the pep" and the fire which animated the former President. At any rate. he hasn't the art of laundering out invectives In the use of which the former Roosevelt acquired such proficiency. Al the same time, the present Roosevelt is a close student of his fathers characteristics. He calls everybody by their first names. He
  his speeches and writings he dis plays certain frivolous felicity which might indicate certain reading cant which does not always aptly illustrate his meaning.
 Some days ago the Assistant Sec retary of the Navy addressed letter to Representative J. F. Byrnes of South Carolina. who had done good work in securing the passage of an officers pay bill in which the navy department was deeply interested. The letter follows:
 The Juniors Style
 Dear Jimmie; This is just a line to thank you for the excellent work you did in the navy pay bill fight. There is a poem by an English man. named Praed wherein he de- scribes the battle of Msrsden Mpor. "One of the cavaliers was doing top hole fighting for the thoroughly unworthy royslist cause. Oliver Cromwell notices him and says:
 "I would quoth grim old oliver, That Bellals trusty sword
 This day were doing battle for The saints and for the Lord
 This is the way felt as watched you in our fight for the navy per sonnel In the pay bill, praise heavens, my wish was Eratified, for you stood at Amageddon and battled for the Lord
 The tone of this letter seems to have become rather scriptural, so will close by saying simply that There is more rejoicing over one sin ner who repenteth
 With best wishes and many thanks,

New York, May 15.-Con1mission
houses were selling on the curb
exchange in the initial dealings,
but when this supply had been alb
sorbed the market rallied sharply.
New high records were made i'll a
number of issues. Tobacco Prod
ucts exports getting into new high
ground with a gain of more than
point. Daniels Motors also was
strong on the statement that pro-
duction would be rushed to meet
the increasing demand for the Dan
iels cars. Southern Coal & Iron
was Influenced by rumors that new
interest shad entered the com
pany, and American Drug Stores
rose to a new high on an official
announcement that comprehensive
plans for expansion have been for
INFLATED.
Considerable interest was shown
in the new marlborough Rapid
Transit issues which were traded
in for the first time. The voting
trust certificates yielded after the
early dealings, but the new 6 per
cent bonds to be exchanged for the
AIS were in active demand and
advanced six points, before selling
caused a recession.
Oils were irregular. Standard
Oil of Indiana sold ex-dividend and
encountered profit taking after an
early upturn. Mutual Oil was in
urgent demand and rose to new
high record. Mexican Seaboard
was somewhat easier, but Imperial
Oil of Canada, Shelly, Simms and
Kirby were f1rmer. Fensiand reach
ed a new high. A report was cur
rent that this company is likely to
absorb Marine Oil, but this was de-
MED by officials of the latter COM
pany. Marine has properties To-
Gated near the Fensland possess
sions and is planning to drill six
new wells this summer.
Mining shares were active and
firm. Independence Lead was in
good demand and ruled around the
previous high market.

COPPERS TAKEN UP.
Today's diversion of interest in
10 the copper groups was no sur
prise. There are merger plans in
the air affecting the coppers, which
now that the steel mergers have
been pretty well worked out, are
likely TO be taken up. Secondly
there is the plain upward tendency
manifested in the price Of the cop

more, resulting from an unusually
heavy demand for domestic ac-

compelling from speculative

DryGoods Market
By STUART p. WEST
Copyright, 19z2J

New York, May 15.-Prices were
firmly maintained when the dry
goods market opened today but the
vote of trading in the standard
print cloth constructions was
somewhat limited and generally
confined to nearby deliveries
There were some reports of shad-
ing at second hands but sellers
ideas for July and August commit
ments were very firm. Sheetings
were in good demand and drills
were in request for khaki dyeing
for the garment trade. There were
inquiries also for hose and tire
fabrics and sateens were fairly
active.
The raw silk market showed lit
tie change although buyers seemed
trifle more willing to meet de-
mands of sellers. The volume of
bushes sin finished goods was only
fair.
Boston, May 15.-Although a fair
volume of business at strong prices
was recorded in the wool market
today, the center of interest con-
tinued in the west. The Oregon
clips now have been fairly well
cleaned up and active bidding is on
in Montana. Territory woods are
being sold faster than they are
being shorn and growers are OBJ
tanning high prices. So advantag-
eous are many of these bids that
some difficulty is represented in
holding members of pooling agree
ments in line. Trading in Wyom-
ing woods is reported in a basis of
about So to 81 cents in the grease.
