V ASTORIA, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1003. . Horning Astorian EitablUhtd l73. RATBSi Sent hy ms.il, per year. W 00 Sent b? mail, per month 60c Rerrrd bv carrier, per month ...... 60c TRUSTS AND GIFTS. v Lai t year was a record breaker in many things, but not In everything. It Ml short of the previous year in the amount of capital involved In new in dustrial organisations, and it also fell short of the same year in the amount of donations made by millionaires in the United States to various public in stitutions, In the one respect there Is clearly a reaction against the excessive tendency "toward the organization of trusts which was se marked in 1M1. and in the second respect U seems that the multimillionaires of the time have now completed their big foundations and are content to do no more than contribute a million or so here and there to help something along. . The New York Journal of Commerce has compiled figures of Industrial or ganisations for the year. They show that the stocks and bonds of the com panies organlxed in 1902 foot up 11,112. 05,250, against $2,805,475,000 In 1901, less than one billion dollars In 1900 and well over two and a half billions In 1S99. The capital and bonds for four years amount io $7,536,320,200. The capi talization of -ivals of the trusts form ed in three veirs is 4S2.250,000, and of miscellaneous companies in three years $3,221,786,550. It will be seen that if the stocks and bonds of the great steel trust were de ducted from the total of 1901 there would still remain enough to surpass the total of last year. Whether the check In the development of such or ganizations be due to a lack of fur ther Industries capable of consolidation, or to a fear of legislation directed against trusts, does not appear. It Is probable ;hat each of those factors has had something td do with the decline in the rate of organization. To have es tablished trusts with a total capitaliza tion of more, than seven billions and smaller corporations with a total capl tal of more than three billions within four years Is, however, an extraordin ary achievement, and it is not strange there should be a temporary slowing up until the public has a chance to look around and study the situation. The Chicago Tribune has compiled all the donations for the year when given In sums of $10,000 and upward. It re ports the total amount at $77,397,167 for the year, as compared with $123,888,725 for 1901. In the list for 1902 no ac count is taken of the raising of $20,000,- 000 for 'the Methodist jubilee fund, as the contributions for the fund have ex tended over a period of eight years, and cannot be rightly credited to 1W2. The report goes on to say that the total amount of donations there was given to educational institutions $28,150,803; to charities. $36,519,864; to churches $4,- 869,700; to museums and art galleries, $2,886,000, and to libraries $4,970,800. Andrew Carnegie's donations for the year aggregated $3,438,500. In four years he has donat?d more than $21, 000,000, while Rockefeller has given $5, 000,000 during the same period. While the lawmakers and law officers are troubled over the ills which great Industrial combl ntlons may do In the Indefinite future they are allowing ev ery inhabitant and Interest In the coun try to suffer seriously from combina tion's which control a prime necessity of life fu?l suys the Railway Age. The actual shortage which prevailed dining lh latter part of the year has beer considerably relieved by the ef forts of the railways, but the rapacious dealers continue to speculate on the misfortunes of the public and to de mand two or three limes what the coal costs them. In several cities the coun cils are endeavoring, with little suc sess, to stop these extortions, and congress has been urged to take the radical Bt-p of placing the coal mines under government.authorlty. Crimin al prosecution of dealers fo rconsplracy to extort exorbitant prices by with holding coal and falsifying in regard to the available supply la proposed by the Illinois Manufacturers' association at Chicago and state and federal courts will be asked to call grand Juries to In dict the conspirators. Including any carriers that may be found to connive in creating the scarcity. There Is no evidence, however, nor even any reas onable ground for suspicion, that any railway is aiding the coal dealers In their robberies. On the other hand, the railways are serious sufferers from inability to obtain sufficient coal of proper quality and some of them will be forced to reduce their train service if the trouble continues, besides being unable to make time with the trains that they continue.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14,-lt Is under stood that advices have been received at the office of the Canadian high commission which point to the entrance of Canada as nn extremely keen com-jH-tltor In the British Iron trade, ac cording to the correspondent In I.on don of the Tribune. The Dominion Iron and Steel company has decided to go In for the manufacture for -the con struction of Iron work on a large scale, A thoroughly up to date plant Is be ing laid down and has ample capital at its bai'k for development. British Iroii manufacturers are apparently not aUrmed ly the rumor of a Canadian invasion, but tho general view In the trade is that a severe cutting of prices is Imminent. The year 1902, has been very unsatis factory for the British cotton trade from the results or tttnek. taking. Eighty-Jive cotton export spinning companies show a net loss of 71S0. The prospects for the current year are not very encouraging, the spinners being handicapped by the fact that the spin dles are increasing in number, while' there Is no development worth speak- ing of in the weaving department.
