cotton buyers on the streets cheat negroes
there is no ill feeling against the negroes by
the whites in Caddo parish; at the time
Major Merrill arrived in Shreveport the
town was as peaceful as possible; there was
volunteer police; the feeling against
Republican officials has grown out of inefi-
cheney and dishonesty; one Republican

police was made because there had been too
many thefts and burglaries.

SATURDAY, oct. 0-P. M.-Anothcr II Id
day was recorded ut the stock Exchange, re-
sultinc In a disastrous rout Of the bulls, with
stocks declining from v to ~ e cent, the ex-

The cause OF this sharp stampede In the mar
ket was partly due to rumors that the savings
banks would enforce their right to 90 days'
notification from depositors and tn mean
while they would press their securities for sale
upon the market; but the more probable reason
OF the break NAV be found in the fact that there
is not at pres mt any organized bull party In the
street, and the speculation has dcgcnerated Into
kind Of guerrilla warfare, which has practically
destroyed market for even good stocks. The
results Of the suicidal railro I'd competition
