little improvement later on the covering
by early sellers, but there was no ag

a point or two up from the lowest.
Exports for the day were about 14.000
bales in excess of the port receipts,
and the Southern spot markets officially
reported generally unchanged and steady.
Exports so far for the season are re
ported at 5.S09.133 bales against 4.303.S"9

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
Examine label on your pa

According to the Comptroller's state
ment more than *5,000.000 worth of
these stamps have been destroyed,
either in process of manufacture or by
actual burning, without adequate ro
ot'd or supervision. In the two year.!
since the act was passed, and thero
is onlv the personal word of a single
clerk, salaried at *2,500, and bond to
certify the fact that they were de*
stroyed at all.
Destroyed or not Destroyed.
The total amount of stamps recorded
as destroyed at different times between
June 2, 1905. when the first issue of
stamps began, anil December 29. 1906,
(two days before Comptroller Glenn as
sumed office) was *5,811.65S. Two lots
reported as actually burned, repre
sented respectively. *174.000 and *2,-
283.507.40. Another lot said to have
been destroyed at the time of manu
facture, because one or more stamp.!
in each sheet was defective, amqun- d
to *993.042.60. The balance of the vast
total of over five millions are recorded
as destroyed in some stage of the pro
cess of making.
According to Comptroller Glenn, the
entire details of printing and caring for
the stock transfer tax stamps was in
the hands of Chas. JL XVatkins, of
Pennsylvania, chief clerk in the stock
transfer tax bureau, who was super
seded early .In January by an appointee
of Mr. Glenn and it was in the process
of checking up the statements on hand
that the alleged state of affairs was
discovered. The stamps were printed
by Quayle & Son. of this city, at their
plant on Green street. The plates wero
in the custody of the comptroller's of
fice. and each day or week were de
livered to ^ua'-le. The paper first u=ed
was an ordinary commercial sort which
Comptroller Glenn said was stored In
the Quayle shop, under an ordinary
lock in an ordinary room and while the
sheets were counted out before print
ing. there was no safeguard to prevent
their being abstracted. Moreover, tho
comptroller declares the count of sheets
does not tally, the explanation being
that some of it was used for other
purposes.
Could Be Counterfeited.
The first issue of stamps was found
to be susceptible of counterfeiting and
the removal of the cancellation marks,
and in May or June of last year tho
printing of these was stopped and a
new issue was begun, on patent paper.
“XX’hen tho new paper, which was
to d?fy counterfeiting, came to hand."
said the Comptroller, “it. received no
better safeguard than was left in' tho
Quayle shop. And the Comptroller's
seal, with which the bundles wore
sealed, was apparently as carelessly
treated."
The finished stamps were stored ill
the safe deposit of the vaults of tho
Albany city safe deposit under a single
key system. Of the first issue, $1.-
56i,00S are recorded as having been
destroyed in manufacture. About Oc
tober 1, 1905, Mr. Glynn said, the rec
ord shows that a lot of $174,000 which
had been accepted and sealed, as good
find placed in the deposit vault where
the stamps were kept, were recorded
as “burned" and the statement was
made that they had been "replaced by
the printer.’’ as not having been up
to the standard of workmanship, but •
the Comptroller said there was no rec-'
ord to this effect.
A statement was made to him by Wat
kins. the comDtroller said, adding: “Ho
says that early in October- he took all
that remained of the old Issue of stamps
from the vaults down to Quayles shop
in Green street, boxed them up and they
remainder there without guard or watch
man at least one night.
Conflict of Testimony.
“There is a conflict of testimony on this
point."The safe deposit people sav they
were not returned until Deeemher' 26.
There were over two millions in this lot—
$1.256.211—which had been returned by
the Bank of Manhattan Company, tho
official distributors of the stamps and
J1.027.39C which had never been Issued. I
do not know how long they remained at
the Green street shop, but according
to Watkins' statement were they brought
back here to the state house and on De
cember 29. two days before I assumed
office, they were burned in the furnace
down stairs, without being counted or
checked up. and without witnesses save a
e!»rk. who was in no way legally-respon
sible for their care. Tiie record of the
burning of the December 29 was not en
tered until December 31—the day before
I took office.
“These stamps are practically cash.’’
Mr. Quayle disclaimed all responsibility
save as- printer." said Mr. Giymi. "He
says he took Watkins' word as to the
count. I find that there were times
when work wa* going on when neither
Watkins nor any other representative of
■the comptroller was present."
Oliver A. Quayle. executive manager
for QuayU- A- Son, said: “There was never
a particle of work performed except at
such times as the inspector was present,
and his directions and instructions were
followed minutely.”

ROME. Feb. 10.—Primo Levi, who
was acquainted with the late Premier
Crispi. adds to the memories of the
late Prince Hchenlohe by publishing
letters written by Cardinal Hohenlohe.
a brother of the Chancellor, who lived
in Rome. From those letters it ap
pears that Cardinal Hohenlohe suspect
ed the Jesuits and that they tried to
poison him because he was too liberal
in endeavoring, through his intimacy
rith leading statesmen, chief among
them Crispi, to bring about an under
standing between the Vatican and i he
Quirinal.
Cardinal Hohenlohe on June" 24.
1389, wrote Pope Leo, saying: “God
has arranged things so that the church
cannot retake the temporal power.
The salvation of souls demands that
we submit and remain tranquil In the
ecclesiastic sphere.”
The Pope's departure from Itaiv was
poken of owing to friction over tho
monument to Giordano Bruno, the
philosopher, who was burned at the
stake in the Campo Dei Fiorl at Rome
as a heretic. Cardinal Hohenlohe
wrote to Pope Leo: "Crispi has asked
me to inform you that if you wish to
leave he will not oppose it, and will
have you accompanied with all honors,
but that your holiness will neyer be
allowed to return to Rome.''
Cardinal Holenhole also discussed
with Crispi and Foreign- Minister
Blanc the best way in case of a con- ,
clave, to prevent the election of Car
dinal Rampolla as Pope. It’ was eon-
Tended in tills discussion that Italy
could not act without appearing to
mlrfimize the spiritual sovereignty and
independence of the church: neither
could Germany, because it was a Pro
testant power, and Austria aionw was ,
in a position to act. Blanc drew up ,r*
memorial which Cardinal Hohen!oh°
sent to his brother, who then was tho
German Chan elior. and this memorial
probably was the origin of the Austrian
r .Cardinal Rampolla at the last
onclave.
