ST. LOUIS, MO., October 2.—(Spec ial)—In a speech delivered heje to day, before an audience that exceeded any St. Louis, with its long record of great conventions and assemblages of all kinds, has ever known, and after a reception that exceeded In en thusiasm any president of the United States has probably ever been ac corded, President Roosevelt in the strongest language expressed his Ir revocable belief that the United States must either Increase Its navy, and maintain It at the highest standard of lighting efficiency, or lose its Rat ional prestige. Unless the naval lighting force of this countfy 18 made larger, and kept on a parity with the finest navies of the world, it will mean that eventually and perhaps during this generation, we may have to back down from our assertion of the Monroe doctrine. In no speech that he has delivered has the president made it more apparent that his convictions on this point are unalterably fixed, and that for the re mainder of his term he will be an advocate of a progressive navy Is now unquestioned. Referring to the progress of the Panama Canal, and its bearing on our naval policy and on our great com merce and its probable development with the Pacific ocean coasts, the President expressed the firm belief that It would soon be dug. If work keeps on as It has recently been pro gressing he declared that the canal would be completed within five or six years. The president spoke at some length of the great national benefits that would be derived from the com pletion of the canal, dwelling with some emphasis on its Importance to Is destined to play in the future his tory of the country. Referring to the railroad situation, the president again took up the topic of federal supervision of these cor porations. He pointed out that pro bably eighty-five per cent, of the bus Iness done by the railroads is inter state in its character. With forceful argument he showed that the nation alone, can exercise a thorough and complete supervision of the great cor porations , transportation and other wise, and that the people must look to the national government to see that justice Is done to all parties in terested, the corporations and the public whom they are Intended serve. The United States government- maintained, must have the widest con trol possible of -the transportation lines of the land. This was jno plea for centralization, or deprivation, of states of their rights, but a necessary movement growing out of conditions that had hrisen from the vast develop ment of the country, conditious against which the people were arous ed. and the remedy for which could alone be adequately found In United States control of the roads. The president's visit was a series of popular receptions of the wildest enthusiasm. From the moment of his arrival until his departure hund reds of thousands of people were massed In the throughfares through which he passed and about the places where he was being entertained. Par ty lines were unknown, Democrats and Republicans joined hands in scenes of popular approval of the president's, policy and admiration for the personality of the man that the South, and the Important part It will probably never be excelled.

J. J HANESLEY. Amerlcus warehousemen and buy ers were not a little surprised when the market dropped' down a quar ter cent -yesterday morning In the (ace of a very bullish monthly bu reau report whereas, in all reason, It should have advanced a half cent Instead. The glnners report showed a total of 1,994,230 bales ginned in the entire Bouth Sip to October 1st, last Tuesday, against 2,040,000 ginned to October 1st last year, a shortage of 45,000 bales this season. This in itself was bull dope all right, but the Government condition report was even- better for the bulls, showing a crop condition of only .677 per cent against .72 percent a month ago, a decline of more than 4 per cent. Even a condition of .71 or 72 per cent should have sent prices higher, but despite official estimates the sharks and gamblers raided the market and put prices down a quarter cent. But this decline can be only temporary. The bureau figures speak for them selves, and if the Government's es timate is worth a continental "doub led" the market is bound to react. Cotton sold in Amerlcus at 11 to 11 1-9 yesterday after the "bureau" fell, as against 11 3-8 to 11 1-4 Cents previously. MR. GEORGE A.
