Corn had no new information or intelli-

SUMS Cotton Review.

New York, April 2-The SUMS cotton re-
view says: Cotton advanced 3 to points,
but lost part of the rise, closing 1 to s
points higher, for the day, with the tone
steady and sales of Il, 900 bales. 4
Today's features: Dulness most dense
was the principal feature of the days mar
ket; The fluctuations in prices were few
ana slight. The spot business in Liverpool
did not show the increase that had been
expected. The exports today were large,
being in fact, nearly seven times as large as
the receipts. The estimated receipts at New
Orleans tomorrow were light.

In Wall Street.

New York. April 2-Of the 15S, 092 shares
traded in at the stock exchange today $1,000
shares were American Tobacco. The OPEN
ing dealings in the stock were attended
with the greatest excitement, the first sales
being reported at anywhere from 80 to 81,
5000 shares changing hands at the drop of
the chairmans gavel. Between 10 and IL
o'cloclt-over $4,000 shares of the stock were
traded in, leaving less than $4,000 shares
for the remainder of the session. The stock
after an early advance of 81 per cent fell
to S91s, recovered to 91h and receded to
S9A, which was the closing price yesterday.
The Tobacco incident as will be shown,
practically killed speculation in the general
market, but the tendency of prices was up
ward until late in the day, when recess
sion of 1s@7s per cent ensued. In the re-
action Sugar, the grangers, Louisville and
Nashville, General Electric, Leather pre-
ferred and Western Union scored the great
est losses. Near the close Manhattan on
trading of 100 shares. bounded up to 1O79s.
Naturally the sensational developments in
Tobacco were much discussed. The action
of the directors in view of the passage OF
the dividend last December led to unfavor-
able comment, and members OF the stock
exchange were not at all backward in ex-
pressing their disapproval OF the policy OF
the Tobacco management. There was some
talk of bringing the matter before the gov
errors of the stock exchange. SpeculaNon

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 11.-The course of the
stock market today clearly reflected the
Intervention of aggressive bull leadership
and the temper at the close of business
was much more cheerful than for some
time past. This theory was borne out
by the failure of the demand efforts made

of the operations was again the eXecu-

the market was strengthened by heavy

The gains extended to sharp fractions,

NEGRO DEMOCRATS MEET.

al Democratic League met here today.
The organization was effected with A.
X. Manning of Indianapolis chairman.

FINANCIAL.
POSTS CABLEGRAM.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE Evening
Posts London financial cablegram:
The more favorable symptom which l
cabled yesterday were fully justified by
today's markets. They opened firm, the
improvement being led by Americans
The account was easily arranged. \
few weak individuals had to pay 3 -
per cent contangoes on Americans, but
the bulk of the carry-over was done at
2 to - per cent. The low price of
Americans has undoubtedly attracted
small investors among the public. A
steady slow rise is what is wanted now
to restore confidence here and not wild
rush upwards. Tonight prices are going
ahead rather fast, street quotations being
the best of the day and three-quarters
above the early prices. Some buying
from the continent was reported. The
other markets responded to the more
cheerful tone and Kaftirs were much
stronger.

80 this morning on the day express
over the main line of the Pennsylvania
railroad. 1t was an early hour to start
after having retired so late last night,
and another hard days work was begun
by the democratic presidential candidate
The Pittsburg committee called at the
hotel at Z o'clock, and five minutes later
the procession started for the union sta
ton. There were no brass bands to
speed the parting guests, but good sized
crowd had gathered in front of the hotel
to catch n glimpse of the "boy orator"
When he made his appearance n lusty
cheer went up. He looked tired and
sleepy, and it is little wonder after the
ordeal he has experienced since last Fri
day. All along the route to the station
the party was greeted with cheers. Quite
a crowd had gathered at the depot, and
as the distinguished party hurriedly em'
barked on the waiting train they were
given hearty sendoff, The day express
is fast train and made but few stops
