 Birmingham. April 20.-London sent a demoralizing market for Americans, aver aging per cent. below yesterdays prices. There are still some optimist Americans and a few doubting disciples in the ex- changes on this side. This class supported prices at the opening, which was about point lower; in some cases opening sales were the lowest. The ultimatum was cabled to Spain and the president signed the congressional war resolutions early in the morning. Despite this the market con- tinued narrow and was free from liquida- tion. Around D. m. it was given out that the time given Spain to reply was post poned till Monday next, and cables also claimed pope was bringing influences to bear upon Spain. including threat by Rothschilds that they would withdraw financial support. This respite caused a better feeling in financial circles and the market responded with advances averaging 1 per cent, with closing at advances.
 On the surface there Is hardly possible ground to argue against hostilities next week, but still we are little skeptical re- garding any big break in American securi- ties.

 New York, April 2O.-The Evening Posts London financial cablegram:
 Stocks were flat and the Paris bourse was utterly demoralized by continued fall- ing in Spanish fours, which closed at the lowest, 34. Loan rates were easier.
 Americans were almost unstable, but there was no great pressure to sell, and bear position at least in St. Paul and Louisville and Nashville now undoubtedly exists The manner in which New York absorbs stocks is much marveled at. The markets here are now thoroughly close reefed and prepared for war, but the Paris bourse will feel the blow severely, Argentines were fiat. Uneasiness is felt by those who are aware of a telegram re- ceived by certain London banks and firms associated with Argentine from General Roca, urging the importance of their join ing in subscriptions to the internal loan which was announced in these dispatches on Monday last. Roca's telegram advert ing the loan, required for urgent indis- pensable expenses, and (which will form the best guarantee of peace."
 The Paris bourse is bordering on panic with heavy realizations in the interests, and everything salable.

Cotton Letter

New York, April 2O.LThere were no signs of dullness on the cotton exchange today. Prices bounded up sharply, business was active, and the session was the liyeliest in many months. Liverpool cables this morn- ing were sensational and took the trade here by storm. The war scare made things hum in that market Spot sales were heavy at 4s advance, while futures jumped seven 64th. The opening here was decidedly ir- regular, prices ranging from to IS points higher. The buying was largely for for eign account. After the opening the market was board and fiuctuated rapidly, winding up in the afternoon In a scamper among the local shorts. The south was firm. Au- gust opened at 6.32 eased to CPS and closed at 637, with the tone of the market firm.
 It is war market now and unless some unforeseen agency averts hostilities the bulls are confident of higher prices.

The West Duluth mechanics

lowing officers have been elect
ed: J. H. Edwards, master
mechanic; Nose Veau, foreman;
John Egan, past master me-
chanic; H. G. Royce, chaplain,

The union was organized by

The Water Purchase Carries
by a Heavy Vote.

The vote on the water pur-
chase bonds Wednesday was
2758 for to 628 against. AS
every man who failed to vote
can be considered, tacitly, at
least, in favor of the bonds, the
vote is so overwhelming that
we can safely assume the con-
troversy is ended once for all
If this surnise proves correct
every good citizen will rejoice.
It is something to know that
this phase of the question is
settled and that, even at an ex-
orbitant cost, we are to have
abundance of good water. The
Labor World, nevertheless, be-
lieves this to be one step in a
conspiracy of far reaching i'm
portance. The acceptance OF
this result, however, even at
the extortioll of several hundred
thousand dollars from the tax
payers pockets, is better than
to exasperate by further delays
the business interests that are
in sore need of increased water
facilities and which believed
that only by accepting this
proposition could their neces-
sites be supplied. The cul-
mination of the plot is still in
the future. And intelligent
men after the warnings already
given can not fail to convince
themselves of it's damnable
purposes. Forewarned should
be forearmed and there is still
intelligence enough amo ng the
Duluth electorate to suspend

spiracy, metaphorically speak
ing, between earth and sky.

O bright new year with Joyous mien,
With heart unknown to piercing woe.
Scatter abroad the gold of peace,
And bid the waves of pleasure flow
With rhythmic sound and trembling sheen
Through the channels of each soull
Command wars laundering voice to cease.
Bid strong armed plenty freely dole
Comforts to man. Make Sol increase
The useful products of the green.
Hush discord's voice that bringest forth
From fierce Pandora's box the ills
Unnumbered that with lightning speed
Deep rack the bosom of the earth.
Depopulate it hab1table hills,
Poison its soothing streams and rills,
And to desert change the mead.
Strike, too, the heart, deep down within.
O'erwhelm it with disgust for sin.
Cause charity and love to reign
Triumphant Ger each hill and plain.
Crush Mammon's s head. To God alone
Let alteration true be shown.
Then loudly do we shout to thee.
