South Pittsburg Correspondence;
We had brief notice Of Mr.. Moore
last week announcing the fact that be
had been given the democratic nomina-
ton for representative from this Coun-
ty in our next legislature. The honor
could not have been conferred upon
more capable or worthy young man.
Mr.. Moore is son Of ESQ. Wash

OF this county. Consequently, being
the son OF a farmer, Charley was
brought up between the pillow handles

fession for his vocation. He came to
South Pittsburg a few years ago and
opened law office in partnership with
Attorney Spears, Of Jasper, by

himself up in his profession in Soutf
Plttsburg and is now one Of our leading
lights at the bar Meanwhile he ha

The Stock Market.

New York, April 1.-The process
which went on in the stock market to-
day was crumbling and disnitegra-
ton Of prices. There was a large and
influential party in the exchange who
manifested their confidence in a peace
full settlement between the United
States and Spain and who increased
values of securities by determined sup
port of prices all through the early
dealings. The buying by this element
during the morning hour was very
large, but prices kept slipping down.

preston proved too heavy to carry

afternoon when a general, and heavy Ii
quotation was in full force. Some fee
BILE rallies at the close indicated that
some part of the days declines was
due to short selling, but the recoveries
from the lowest were very small and
net losses on the day run from to over
points in the principal active stocks.
The ground ofthe early confidence by
some operators that war would be
averted was shrouded in some mystery.
1t seems to have been founded on the
inference that the interest on the
Spanish tours which was paid to-day in
spite of the recent doubts whether the
money would be forthcoming, was adj
vanced by the Rothschilds and that the
advance was based on knowledge that
the Spanish government would make
peaceful settlement of the demands
of the United States. But as the day
advanced the fact took more and more
definite shape on the news from Wash
ington that the Spanish government
had, on the contrary, refused the de-
mands of the United States The con-
sequence seemed necessarily to be that
the whole question would be submitted
to congress for settlement. This was
felt to involve the abandonment of
diplomacy and an early resort to force
All the indications usually regarded as
trustworthy as to political develop

ness was in spite of the fact that early
advices from Madrid We're rather opti-
mistic. Spanish fours, which We're trad
ed in ex-coupon fell 8 full points in
London before the rally set in, then
recovered tx, apparently on the early
strength shown by the New York
stock market. This early strength here
rallied prices several times to or near
last nights level and it was not till the
afternoon that the market took on it's
decisive tone of weakness. A signifl-
cant feature of the day was the mark
ing up of call loans to per cent. This
was due to the calling of a moderate
amount of loans by New York banks.
But the shifting of these loans develop
ed small amount of money offering
and the sharp stiffening in rates was
the consequence. Exchange rates re-
sponded to the hardening Of money by
a fractional decline through the day's
engagement of gold for import was
only about half a million dollars. The
growth of the selling for Washington

essential factor in the late break in the

Mr. Stanley sarCastically referred to the
resolutions in the interest of Cuba adopt
ed by the Populist and Democratic ma
tional conventions, and followed these
with the assertion that the Republican
sympathy for the Cuban patriots was
demonstrated by its action in freeing
them in 100 days time One Of the most
amusing features Of Mr. Stanley's speech
was his reference to Dewey in connection
with the Republican freeing Of Cuba.
This reference will be all the more anus
ing when it comes to be generally known
that Admiral Dewey Is one OF the rank
est Democrats who claims citizenship in
the United States. After issuing the reg
ulation emancipation proclamation to
the colored voters and indulging in few
elocutionary generalities, Mr.. Stanley
