way TO an Impressive silence as the Old
veterans listened to eloquent tributes
to the memor of the Daughter OF the
~Confederacy.
In opening the exercises General Cor
don said:
MY comrades, we approach a solem-
nifty which will awaken III every hear
the sweetest, tenderest recollections
that have stirred us for many days.
We are about to give ourselves the NM
ancholy pleasure of again honoring a
sweet woman, whose memory will al
a live in every confederate house
hold" He then asked Bishop Capers
to deliver a prayer, and when the bish-
op concluded General Gordon introduc-
ed the orator of the occasion, Colonel
Bennett H. Young, of Louisville.
COLONEL YOUNG'S EULOGY.
Colonel Young's eulogy was a mas
ter-piece of end eloquence and many
persons in the audience were visibly
affected as he dwelt upon the place
which Miss Davis held in the hearts
and homes of the southland.
The Louisiana Glee Club then sang
Nearer My God to Thee"
At the conclusion of the hymn, Cen
eral Lee arose and said that for many
years Mrs Davis had been unable, ow-
ing to ill-health, to attend the reunions
OF the association, but that on this oc-
casion h was represented by Miss
Waller, Of Mississippi. As General
bowed toward her Miss Waller arose
in her box n received the salute of
the audience.
This closed the exercises and a mo-
ment or so later Mr.. H. A Lockwood,
of Mobile, Ala, arose and moved that
the convention express its deep appre-
citation of those "~chivalric and tender
people of the north who had minister
ed with tender care to he last hours
OF the Daughter Of the C~onfederacy."
General Gordon put The motion and
the affirmative response was 50 hearty

Hay AND FEEpsTUFFs.

Hay is off again and weak at the decline
Bran is lower, but Middlings are firm and in
light supply
The circular of Somers & Co. says of Hay:
I'VE have a rather weak Hay market to re-
port at the present time. Throughout the storm
of last week auction sales were attempted
here in town. and contrary to the expectations
and wishes of consignees an average amount Of
Hay kept coming to market daily. No Hay
could be handled because of the rain. and as
has always been our experience, consumers
would not talk Hay until the weather
cleared. On Saturday last the storm broke and
a sale was held The entire weeks accumula-
tion was offered for sale on that day. with the
result that prices dropped about 81 per ton
all around. Buyers knew Of the amount of
Hay the market, and in many instances
dictated their own price on what had to be
unloaded All this Is evidence that the farmers
realize the futility of holding their Hay for
the extreme prices Of last spring. Having
come TO this determination they all seem to
feel that they cannot dispose of their Hay
quickly enough. AS we expressed ourselves last
week this is erroneous idea, especially when
stocks of Hay are low throughout the coun-
try as they at the present time.
ITO keep our market properly supplied all
holders Of Hay should send in their holdings
at intervals to dispose of their lots at
the end of the season, bat not before. Receipts
for the past six days have been about 2400 tons,
a very heavy supply. Yesterday and to-day
we noted fairly active demand and our
opinion of the matter is that prices will go
no lower unless we have recurrence of our
experience of last week. but that present prices
or little Improvement on the present range
will continue throughout the balance OF the
season, providing shipments regulated

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
The circular Of Henry Clews says:

The circular Of Henry Clews says:
considerable money has come TO New York
from netghboring cities in the last few days
and been nut out time loans This has
eased up call money to some extent, which has
had the effect Of making holders of stocks
more tenacious in clinging to them; therefore,
forced sales have been less frequent, In con-
sequence. than during last week. To-day s
bank statement, however is likely to be un-
favorable again, and the two following ones
will show but little improvement, from all In
d!catiops This Will doubtless cause. mean
while the same caution which has existed dur
ing the present month. Specialties, however,
like sugar and other industrials, have moved
up vigorously Irrespective of money condl-
