COTTOX GRADIXG FIGHT
Injunction Causes Explanation of
Sytem in Vogue on 'Change.
The injunction suit brought by Theodore H. Price
against the New York Cotton Exchange and its
classification committee to restrain them from con
tinuing tnelr present system of grading, was said
yesterday to be unprecedented in the history of
any exchange. The action of the judge in modify
ilng: the temporary Injunction he had granted, thus
relieving the exchange of compliance with Us terms
until the hearing on Monday, and the announcement
made just before the opening that it was the
opinion of Henry W. Tn::. counsel for the ex
change, that th« injunction would not be made
permanent. It was said prevented any flurry in the
market.
The markf^ was irregular throughout the day,
however, and trading fell off considerably as a re
sult, it was supposed, of the uncertainty over the
final outcome of the proceedings instituted by Mr.
Price. The operators appeared to be more con
cerned over the outcome or the suit than the state
of the weather or any of the other conditions that
affect the market.
Some of the trades felt bitter toward Price, and
there was pom.; talk of boycotting him. K. M.
"Weld, one of the foremost operators on the ex
change, generally regarded as being identified with
tho bull party, offered to sell £00.000 bales of May
I at about fifteen points over the market, which ap
! Beared to Indicate that a split had occurred among
the bull crowd.
Mr. Price issued a statement yesterday morn
. ing in which he said that inasmuch as the Injunc
| tion simply ordered the exchange to conform with
i its own rules, regulations and charter and with
j the laws of the state and the United States, the
i effort to avoid compliance with the terms of the
1 injunction was an admission that the exchange
! had not heretofore conformed to them. Later he
denied a statement, issued from the office of the
president of the exchange, that the New York
Cotton Exchange was the only exchange in the
world which guaranteed the grade of cotton de
livered under Its rules. Mr. Price said that, as
a matter of fact, the exchange did not guarantee
the grade of cotton delivered under its rules, and
that a section of the bylaws specifically provided
j against the exchange being held liable for any
i claim growing out of any certificate of grade.
"When the statement was shown to William V.
King, superintendent of the Cotton Exchange, he
said that the grade was guaranteed for a year
from the time of purchase, and that If at the time
of delivery it was found not to be up to the grade
specified by the, classification committee, the pur
chaser would be reimbursed out of the inspection
fund maintained for that purpose. He added tjjat
this Inspection fund now amounted to about $»«).
000. and that if Mr. Price or any One els» had
bought cotton that was not up to grade, all they
had to do was to tile their claim with the ex
change, and if it was proved that the cotton was
not as specified they would be paid out. of the fund.
Mr. King gave figures which showed that in
twenty years the total claims paid out on cotton not
coming up to grade amounted to only one-twentieth
Of 1 per cent. In that time 3.E38.022 bales, of the
value of 5159.210.M0. had been graded. In case the
inspection fund was Inadequate to pay the claims
against it. Mr. King said the bylaws provided that
the claims should be filed and "paid for in the or
der of their receipt as soon as money available
for that purpose had been received and paid Into
the fund. The Inspection fund is maintained out
of the surplus remaining after paying the expenses
of the Inspection bureau. Mr. King said that
inasmuch as the fund now amounts to $20->.<>V) and
the total paid out in claims in twenty years has
been only $!»4.596 92. it would seem to be ample to
meet any claims that might be made against it In
the future.
Henry W. Taft. counsel for the exchange, paid
yesterday that he was preparing affidavits contra
dicting the statements mad« by Mr. Price, and
that his clients denied all the allegations made in
the complaint. He stated also that if the injunction
was made permanent it would put a stop to all
business r»n the Cotton Exchange, because It would
be impossible to guarantee contracts for delivery

tain necessary street Improvements. The United
Railroads Company expended a total of $4,001X000

the restoration and reconstruction of its lines and
plant. All expenditures for betterments and im
provements made to March 1, 1907, bad been

NXW YORK CENTRALS DEFICIT.
Harriman and Other Roads Also Make Poor
Net Earnings.
Earnings of the -New York Central Railroad for
th« quarter ended March *i made an extremely bad
showing, while reports received yesterday from
the Southern Pacific, the Union Pacific nn<l the
Southern Railway for the month of March present
ed poor exhibit a in the matter of net returns. In
comparison with the gain recorded In gross. New
York Central earnings for the quarter increased In
gross $196,515. but decreased in net $2.888,814. owing
to an Increase in operating expenses of $2,2^,^4,
nnd after charges and dividends there was a delicti
of 82,459,988. compared with a deficit of $48,878° In th«
corresponding time i year ago. Union Pacific In
creased In gross for March more than $1,000,000, but
of this only a little more than $150,000 was shown in
net. In the case of the Southern Pacific ths show-
Ing in net was worse, as out of a pnin In gross of
more than $1,009,406 operating expenses ate up the
entire gain, leaving a loss from the net figures of
March in the preceding year of more than $500,000.
The Southern Railway Increased In gross $144,198
and decreased in net J4??.53".
The fulling off In the net earnings of the Sew
fork Central and the establishment of a larce
deficit are attributed by the company to th* Increase
in the cost of labor and to the consisted condition
of th» system nil th» way from Buffalo to »■«•
York in the first three months of the year. The
quarterly Income account ns Issued, Includes
cmong other income that accrued on all invest
ments, although not actually pal ; during th» quar
ter. For Instance, the. I/ik Shore rays dividends
uinually. but the quarterly proportion of tha
New York Central's Income from this tree is
Included in each of the latter' i quarterly state
ments. The December quarter showed h surplus of
$^4?,l lV) after the payment of dividends amounting
to J2.335.00). The management expects that, with
traffic moving much more freely than It did in tha
winter, with open weather conditions and with the
higher commodity rates nnd changes In classifica
tion that have recently been ma '.••. the earnings will
hereafter make ■ far better Fhow!n<r.
Officers of th« Southern Pacific attribute the de
crease In net earnings of that system for March
to the Interruption of the r»gu'.ar movement of
trnins. caused by unprecedented storms and wash
outs on the Pacific system lines of tho company,
roHUlMng in congestion of traffic, which add* 1
largely to the expense* of the month for overtime.
per diem payments, for use of delayed cars, etc.
Expenses were, also Increased by greater rate
charged per diem for use of cars, greater cost of
fu^l and Increase in wag;« schedules.

COLOMBIA'S FOREIGN DEBT SERVICE.
The inspector Genera] of Public Rents of Co
lombia, Lino de Pombo, hag addressed to the Min
ister of Finance of that country a report on Its
foreign debt service, as follows: '
By the terms of the Holguln-Avebury conven
tion, signed In London on April »>. l»05, the foreign
debt service was arranged by the agency of it\o
Central Bunk, to which the custom houses remit
every month 15 per cent of the receipts accruing
from the duties on Importations, with the under
standing that It be appropriated to the service of
the Interests on said debt. In the twelve months
if ISM the Centra] Bank remitted to London for
the foreign debt service the sum of 3.J93.500 francs,
divided thus: For the current Interest on the for
eign debt, at th* rate of 3 per cent annually, on
87,100.(100 francs, 2,015.000 francs; for the interest In
arrears on the same debt, 1.525,000 francs; commis
sion on said sums and their remittance the last
year, 43.50) francs; commission, 1 per cent, of the
Central Bank. 49.633 franc* 75 centimes; total paid
in IS<«', for the service of said debt, 3,643,133 francs
75 centimes.
Now. it appears that th» 18 per cent of the cus
toms receipts has been more than sufficient to ap
ply to the foreign debt service, so much the more
so because the customs receipts have increased to
nearly Ss.OCiO.orn> francs. For the year 1907 there will
bo to pay: Current interest. 2,025.000 francs: com
mission of the committee, 2 per cent. 40,600 francs;
balance of interest In arrears, 2.697,500 francs; com
mission of the committee, l per cent, 26,975 francs;
bank commission. 1 per cent. 47.554 francs 76 cen
times; total to be. paid in 1907, 4.536.JJ9 franca 75
centimes. Consequently, a balance can be expected
Of Hom^> 413.610 francs 26 centimes on the 15 per
cent of the customs receipts appropriated to this
service. Under this head may be put Into execu
tion Article 4 of the London convention, which per
mits the proportion of the customs receipts appro
priated to be reduced from 15 to 12 per cont.
In June. 1907. th< Interest arrears will be com
pletely paid, and the foreign debt service will he
limited to the payment of the current Interests, to
gether with the respective commissions, which
would be a total of ,'ibout 1,067,976 francs a year,
a service which can be easily met with less than
in ]■:• cent of the not receipts of the Custom House
of narrnnqullla. Thus It anpears that the foreign
debt service of Colombia will cost the country only
a small sacrifice us It affecta only from 3 to 6 per
cent of one sole claai of receipts the customs.
It l» supposed that the government will be In a
position gradually to take up the amortization of
■aid debt before "July I, 1910.
NEW SCAIE OF WAGES AT FALL RIVER.
Manufacturers and Textile Council Agree —
May Be Substantial Increase.
Fall River. Mas?., May P, .— Representatives of
the Fall Rl\;rr Cotton Manufacturers and of the
Textile Council at a conference this afternoon
agreed upon a new scale of wages to be in
f.,rcc for six months. The terms of the agree
ment will not be made public until It has been
acted on by the various unions, which must

generally believed that it provides for a sub
eianua.l Increase In the wages of the operatives.
VALUING THE EAILJV AYS.
Immense Undertaking of the Minne
sota Commission.
Some idea of the magnitude of the undertak
ing of making a valuation of the railways of the
United States, which has* been reported from
Washington as a possibility, may be had from
the programme of the Minnesota Railroad and
"Warehouse Commission, which Is about to con
duct such an inquiry in the State of Minnesota.
When the engineers of the commission have
finished their valuation of a certain railroad the
commission will have before it a series of state
ments to make, covering substantial!; every ele
ment of physical value in a. railroad property.
For- Instance. lands for right of way. yards
and terminals will be investigated The engineers
will be obliged to make statements showing the
situation of the entire right of way of a giver,
railroad in Minnesota, the name of the counties,
cities, towns and Villages through which it runs,
total acres of right of way, average market value
an acre, the average right of way value an acre;
also situation of yards and terminals, the total
acres, the average market value an acre and the
average value for railway purposes an acre.
Then the subject of the roadway will be taken
up. The 'engineers miift submit data showing
the situation, acres of clearing and grubbing,
how much earth, loose rock and solid rock were
excavated, how much earth and loose rock used
In embankments, also the protection as it con
sists in riprap: the retaining walls as they consist
in dry wall. mortar wall and concrete wall; also
the crossties with their dimensions, and whether
of oak, cedar or fa unlock, or what kind of wood,
and the number, together with their present com
dition; also some data concerning the switch ties.
In findlnsr the value of a road it will he neces
sary for the engineers to submit figures show
ing miles of ballasting, kin. ls of material used in
ballasting, the width at crown, the average
depth under tie. present condition, also full data
concerning rails, the time they have been in
service, when laid, their weight, present condi
tion, etc.
When it comes to the subject of bridges, the
engineers must submit data showing the number
of piles used, the kind of timber and the total
lineal feet; also the framed timber, the amount
and kind; the number of cubic yards of masonry,
of concrete work: the average height of piers
and abutments, the age of all these things and
present condition. There are hundreds of other
things the. engineers must examine and report on.

Is a rumor ilroulating that there Is still a short Interest
in th* May cptOn. ■ ..Is eetimate-i between 100.000

exists thore ■ 111 b» a sharp advance vet re the final
maturity of the cptior.. tut then haa teen nothing In.
re:ent trading to bMllcata that thero is any speculative
short Interest in the s;>ot month. Bulls are pointing out
that, while the receipts from the current crop of Brazilian
have been S. 17i>.>»X> bans larger than last year. tUe world's
visible supply has Increased only H.«il7.'JTO bags over what
it was at this time last season. This shows a discrepancy
of about 3.«hiO.U(iO bass, which Is cue In a small part to
smaller re flpta of mild coffee, but which must be
eonaMerabt] charged to an Increased taking for con
sumption, beyond that shown by the oC'cial records of
deliveries In this country ami Europe. Primary markets
were unchanged and receipts' a little lighter at two ports,
but up to the recent average at interior Santos points.
The market for spot coTTee was quiet, with quotations

COTTON — The cotton market v.-as rendered very
nervous and unsettled to-day by the talk of legal pro
ceedings against the Exchange ami the classification
committee; and smaller operators showed an Inclina
tion to even up their commitments In the old crop
months and await developments. The close was easy
on the oil crop and steady on the new. with prices
unchanged to 13 points lower. July showing the big
gest loss Sales for the day were estimated at 250.000
bales. The opening was steady at an advance of 9
points to a decline of 1 point on the strength of the
near positions In Liverpool, while the later positions
were influenced by the somewhat more favorable
weather map. Nearby shorn were evidently very ner
vous on tl*e call and July went up to 1" 41. or 8 points
. net higher, but some of the big traders were very
heavy sellers at the advance. This was reassuring to
shorts, and the market soon began to work lower
under scattering liquidation, part of which was at
tributed to the bull pool Itself. The less favorable
forecast for to-day and the bullish Into sight figures
for the week checked the downward movement and
steadied the new crop months during the afternoon,
but the old crop closed at practically the lowest point
Of the day. VHsrtJßSlon during the cliv centred al
most exclusively around the legal proceedings started
by the bull leader, ami because they originated with
htm they were naturally regarded as a bull card, while
the fact that the temporary Injunction secured was
modified so as not to take eff"«-t until the matter cam*
up for argument next Monday was considered favor
able to the short side rending the decision of the
courts an erratic and Irregular market Is looked for.

ORAJN WHEAT— weather conditions :•
mainM unscasonabla all through the West, the wheat
situation chanted a little to-<tay by reason of the fact
that burin;? power was less aggressive and the long in

an opening advance that held for a short time, but most
of the day the market wan under pressure, especially in
the afternoon, when "The Modern Miller" report was Is
sued, taking rather a bearish stand on the wheat situa
tion. It was also said In private dispatches that th»
snow in Kansas on Thursday r.ieht -would prove beneficial
rather than otherwise. as the state nee.la moisture. Htcher
