The compilation shows that the total
number of eases prosecuted In-the six
years of the present administration un.
der the act to regulate commerce do
not exceed In great number those
[irosecuted under the same act by the
eecond Cleveland administration. This
is explained, however, with the state
ment that the recent cases were much
more Important than the former; also
ihat the Elkins anti-rebate law had
boen Invoked more frequently than the
old act to regulate commerce.
Under the Sherman anti-trust law
the Roosevelt government In six years
has Instituted 17 civil and 18 criminal
actions, a total of 85. In Mr. McKin
ley’s administration there were only
three; in Mr. Cleveland's second ad
ministration of four years there were
nine, and In Mr. Harrison's four-year
term there were seven.
Xo corporation officer or others have
been sent to Jail for violation of the
Sherman act or the other Interstate
commerce laws. Fines aggregating
$80,259,125 have been imposed. Of this
$29,210,000 represents the penalty Im
posed upon the Standard Oil Company,
of Indiana, for accepting freight re
bates.

HAYWARD, VICK & CL/\RK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER.
New York, Deo. 28.—The cotton market
opened lower In lino with lower cables from
Liverpool. Them was resumed, however,
the same buying which suited the market
up yesterday, and a rally extended from 6-&9
TMilnts with much activity and increase iu
merest. There was reported more Inquiry
for spots st Mouthern points. The lowerlug
of the German discount rate brought more
business. The American spinners’ takings
for the week are not much behind that of
a year ago, while exports for the week
are less than 8.000 below lost yenr, nud
further henry shipments expected next
evk. We believe the market has turned,
..ml while we do not look for a broad, ex
cited advance at present, we think that
during January cotton will sell at a higher
level. For the present, we favor buying on
all the fair recessions.
