FLUCTUATIONS IN COTTON
THE WEEK'S TRADE FACTOR.
Don's Review Say" 'ewi From Far
i:at In Also Significant to the
Commercial "World.
New York. Jan. L R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade to-morrow wlli
say:
Violent fluctuations In cotton and uncertainty
regarding the situation In the far East "were
the only significant factors In the business sit
uation during the holiday week.
Numerous expressions ot confidence are heard
regarding the future, hot trier, especially at the
est and boulh.
Manufacturing plants hae taken a longer va
cation man last sear, dui many announce re
sumption of -work on Monday. Textile mills
are confronted with a lack of proper propor
tion between prices of raw material and fin
ished products, and It Is evident that cost ot
production must be held down In soma way or
much machinery will become Idle.
Transportation lines are n ell engaged in
handling grain. Jle stock, fuel and lumber,
while earnings thus far reported for December
exceed the previous jear an aerage of 6.6
per cent.
Few new contracts for Iron and steel are re
ported, set the ceneral le.el of quotations Is
fairly maintained and better conditions are
expected carlj In 1S04. Seeral special trans
actions are reported In billets and wire rods
at concessions, but these do not affect list fig
ures. Much irregularity and activity Is reported In
the markets for minor metals, wnlch are chiefly
responsive to speculatUe operations at London.
Despite a eborp break in the foreign market,
tin clored the week with a net gain, and cop
per 1 also stronger because of increased Inter
est abroad.
All pre.ious records of footwear-forwarding1
from lloston were far eclipsed during; the past
5 ear. nnd there was an even more notable In
crease In production elsewhere. Only steadiness
can be recorded as to Chicago packer hides, fur
ther advances being- checked by the diminution
of purchases.
As to the textiles, the week has only aug
mented unsettled conditions, especially aa to
cotton goods. In response to the rise of raw
material, sellers ad . arced prices, but buyers
exhibited thtr customary reserve regarding new
business, and the week's trading remained
within a narrow limit.
In the woolen dl.ision new lines of overcoat
ings continue in moderate demand. Firmness is
still the rule in wool. Jobbing trade in dry
goods Is seasonably quiet.
Failures this week numbered SS2 In the United
States, against 2&S Last jear; and In Canada
17, compared wltn S ajear ago.
NEW YEAR TO BRING SNOW.

It came from the southwest and was ac
companied by light snows over the Mis

SCIENTISTS GUESTS
JIT
Honor Memory of Philanthropist
Who Spent Much Money Along
Lines They Represent.
FOURTEENTH ANNUAL DINNER.
Nolable Assemblage Partakes of
Hospitality of Missouri Botan
ical Trustees at the
Southern Hotel.
A notable nswmblage partook of the
hospitality of the Trustees of the Mis
souri Botanical Garden at the Southern
Hotel last night to perpetuate the memory
of Henry Shaw.
It was tha fourteenth annual banquet
and was notable because many of the
guests were members of the American As
sociation for the Advancement of Science.
Covers were laid for 210.
The bench, bar, commercial and financial
representatives, as well as churchmen and
literary men, were numbered among the
guests. The banquet closed the convention
of scientists, uliich was in session all
week.
The coming of the scientists at this time
was oportune, for It furnished occasion to
honor the memory of one who has spent
much money along lines which they rep
resent By a clause in the will of Mr. Shaw
$1,000 was set aside annually for the enter
tainment at banquet of literary and scien
tific men.
The main banquet hall was decorated
in rare and beautiful plants brought from
the garden. Flowers, too, tho product of
the Shaw hothouses, decorated the tables
and spread their fragrance about the
dining hall. Behind , an embankment of
plants an orchestra played selections.
Last among the arrivals was former
Governor Thomas R, Crittenden of Mis
souri. He announced to 1'reildent Francis
and John Schroers, with whom he sat
that he was not only celebrating in mem-
ury or Henry snaw, dui aiso nis eeveniy
second birthday anniversary.
SPEAKERS AT BANQUET.
Chancellor Winfield S. Chaplin of Wash
ington University was toastmaster. He
Introduced the following speakers:
' Carroll D. Wright, United States Labor
Commissioner and president of the meet
ing of the American Association for tho
Advancement of Science; Doctor David
Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stan
ford Junior University; G. K. Gilbert, at
tache of the United States Geological Sur
vey; Doctor James Fletcher, vice director
Dominion Experimental Farms, Ottawa,
Canada; Professor J. M. Coulter, Univer
sity of Chicago: Doctor H. S. Pritchett.
president of the Massachusetts Institute'
of Technology, Boston; Professor William
Trclease, director of Missouri Botanical
Garden, and Smith P. Gait
Chancellor Chaplin reviewed the life of
Henry Shaw. He told of how he gave up
his- business after acquiring enough to
Justify him In spending his life in ease
and of his departure tor Europe, where
he traveled extensively and acquired the
Idea of establishing the garden which to
day ranks with gardens of the old coun
try. Carroll D. Wright, said: "I am pleased
to respond for the scientists, but I hardly
know whether I can do them Justice in ex
pressing their thanks to you. I have been
subjected during the week to much Infor
mation and misinformation. I have been
told that the college man Is a menace to
the community and out of place for this
practical age. Wo have been told that
only those who have not been subjected
to educational processes succeed."
He talked of the sacrifices of the scien
tists In their search to benefit mankind.
He touched on Missouri and lauded its In
habitants for their efforts to clear their
skirts of corrupt officials and uphold a
high standard of citizenship.
SMITH P. GALT-S ADDRESS.
Smith P. Gait said: "You have inventors
among you, I believe. You can do St Louis
a great favor. If you will. Are any of you
great enough to Invent a machine that will
be successful in getting Missouri boodlers
Into the Penitentiary?"
Mr. Gait ended with a tribute to the
memory of Henry Shaw. He said:
"Good trustees, go on with the work
that Mr. Shaw, with such generous boun
ty, committed to good hands. Let the Ivy
cling about his tomb, and the laurel grow
thereby, and the oaks wave their branches
like palm leaves above it, while the whole
city will ever cherish the precious legacy
of Its benefactor. The flowers he conse
crated by his life and death will continue
to bud find bloom, and awakened by the
kiss of the morning dewdrop, will greet
the rising sun as the brignt eiruigence of
their father's face, and waring in the gen
tle zephyrs like tiny censors, swung by
angel hands, will offer their perfume and
fragrance. licher than the frankincense
that envelops holy altarf and fills cathe
dral isle, as their never-ceasing service to
him. 'who paints the lily and adorns the
rose.'
President D. R. Francis spoke of the
progress of the World's Fair, the magni
tude of the enterprise and the benefits
educationally, socially and ptherwlse that
would come from it He gave the scien
tists full credit for the part they have
taken in the upbuilding of the Fair, say
ing that but for them many of the best
features of the Exposition would have
been Impossible.
ADDRESS ON BOTANY.
Professor William Trelease, director of
the Missouri Botanical Garden, speaking
In general on the subject of botany, said,
in part: "It always has been my policy,
and I have been fully supported In this by
the Board of Trustees, to treat botany in
as broad a sense as it could be treated,
from the crowth of flowers and plants for
their refining Influence on the human mind
and through all the many lines of "scien
tific research, as well as for the sake of
science alone, up to such practical studies
as might interest every physician or user
of timber or other vegetable products."
Good government, or the true civic
sense, was the keynote of the speech by
Doctor H. S. Pritchett president of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Boston. In closing Doctor Pritchett ex
tolled the beauty and magnitude of the
World's Fair buildings, and said that the
new university buildings now be'ng used
as headquarters for the administrative
offices of the Exposition were among the
most beautiful and dignified In the Uni
ted States.

man of the evening, former Governor
Thomas T. Crittenden of Kansas City.

9:50 Concluding remarks by Congress
man W. D. Vandlver of Cape Girardeau,
chairman of Campaign Committee.
Among other matters to be considered
by the conference are the views regarding
methods of nomination. Some of Mr.
Folk's friends are anxious to secure a
general primary on the same day through
out the State. If this plan is adopted, a
committee will be appointed to wait upon
the State Committee.
Another question which will be consid
ered Is the dilemma which the overwhelm
ing number of invitations for Mr. Folk to
speak has caused. The boodle prosecu
tions, which are to come up In the near
future, make this one of the situations
which must be met
A PEOPLE'S CAMPAIGN.
"It Is not Improbable," said Congress
man Vandlver last night, "that the so
called general committee representing the
Congressional districts will dlsolve, as
some of the members feel that their work
will have ben accomplished at to-day's
meeting, when county organizations are
established. We are anxious to leave the
matter of organization as close to the
people as possible, as this is a movement
of the people.
"If this course Is adopted, the Execu
tive Committee, consisting of Robert H.
Kern. Judge W. N. Evans; James W.
Mytton, myself and one other to be chosen
from Kansas City or St. Louis will sim
ply act as a bureau to select dates and
places for tpeaking. We are satisfied
to let the people act upon Mr. Folk's can
didacy." The members of the general committee I

Footprints In the Sand
Steps that are quick are Indicative of
energy and agitation.
Turned-ln toes are often found with pre
occupied, absent-minded persons.
Slow steps, whether long or short sug
gest a gentle or deflective state of mind,
as the case mlgh: be.
The proud ateu is slow and measured.
The toes are conspicuously turned out the
legs straightened.
Where a revengeful purpose Is hidden
under a feignfd smile the step will be
slinking and riolseless.
Obstinate persons; who In argument rely
more on muscular than Intellectual power,
rest the feef flatly 'and firmly on the
ground, walk neavlly'and slowly and stand
with toe legs firmly planted and far apart

IS NOT WORRYING.
That politicians regard to-day's develop
ments of importance may be gathered
from the interest which is being taken on
all aides. Acting Lieutenant Governor T.
L. Rubey of La Plata arrived yestorday
ofternoon and mixed among the delegates.
To all questioners he said that he was not
worrying about the governorship, as he
was willing to run for Lieutenant under
any nominee "whom the convenUon might
name.
Congressman M. E. Benton arrived from
Washington yesterday and spent the after
noon at the Laclede. Though It is gener
ally understood that he favors the candi
dacy of Mr. Folk, he has made no public
declaration. He was compelled to go on
to Southwest Missouri last night
Major Emmet Newton of Springfield
spent much time with the delegates,
though he claims to be the original Reed-for-Govcrnor
man. Excise Commissioner
J. M. Selbert was at the hotel in the morn
ing visiting some of his old friends from
out in the State. C. B. Oldham, a secre
tary for Harry B. Hawes, in his head
quarters, atso spent much time with the
visitors.
Among thoso who arrived to attend the
conference, aside from members of the
general committee, were: General W. H.

EMPLOYERS' .ASSOCIATION .
FORMED AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Xevr Ora-anlcatlon Is to lie Affiliated
With the Industrial Associa
tion of America.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 1. The Em
ployers' Association was organized here
to-night after a long nnd late session,
mostly of routine features. It will be af
filiated with the Industrial Association of
America.
D. M. Parry, president of the National
Manufacturers' Association, said in con
nection with the new organization:
"Conditions are becoming very bad In
Indianapolis owing to the methods of or
ganized labor. There la a great deal of
quiet blackmail going on and tho Em
ployers' Association will put a stop to It
or send the organized labor criminals to
the Penitentiary. We propose to have In
dustrial peace In Indianapolis, even If we
have to fight for it.
"Indianapolis is being made the head
quarters of undesirable labor organiza
tions, and they can remain here if they
behave themselves, but they will have to
cut out their bulldozing and coercive
methods. All kinds of threats have re
cently been made by local unionists that
Indianapolis Is to be organized from top
to bottom in order to show the country
that a proper rebuke has been adminis
tered to myself.
"The local agitators are attempting a
pretty big Job. I am not looking for
trouble, but I am In this fight to stay to
the finish. Illegal, anarchistic and cor
cupt Union labor methods must go In this
country. We have no room here for
picketers of the dead, such as Chicago
has recently been favored with. The pub
lic conscience is becoming aroused to the
labor conspiracy. It Is high time."
ITea-roes Hold lip Tiro Men.
Henry Heitkamp and Christ Smith of
No. 2119 North Thirteenth street, were
held up by two negroes on High street be
tween Franklin avenuo and Wash street
early yesterday morning. The robbers
took Smith's gold watch valued at 135. Po
licemen Grace and McDermott arrested
Charles Frye and James Holland, negroes,
on suspicion of being the robbers.
