STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 6.-Stock prices
sumped badly to-day and closed active
and weak at about the lowest Crop
adviees were not favorable, and these
We're given color by the advance in
wheat, but the principal cause for the
shaking of confidence was a renewal
of stringency in the call money market.
Discrimination in loans in certain indus
trials and Specialties made some brokers
disinclined to carry marginal accounts
for some of these properties. This at
titude was taken advantage of by the
bear contingent, and proniscuous selling
of the general Speciality group followed.
Among the more conspicuous extreme
breaks were Brooklyn Rapid Transit. 10;
Metropolitan Street Railway, 81; Man
haitian l., ~; Consolidated Gas and
American Steel and Wire, each; Fed
erai Steel and American Tobacco about
5 each, and many others in this group
from 3 to t. Some of these stocks closed
above the lowest, Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit, Manhattan l., and Consolidated Gas
being conspicuous. The declines in the
more active railways Appropriated >
each. The acknowledged bull leaders,
presumably having liquidated, seemed
apathetic in stemming the downward
course of properties with which they are
identified There We're occasional rallies
apparently only to afford a new level
from which TO let go stocks. The re
cent continued advance in many stocks,
which eliminated much of the short in
terests, made the decline rapid as there
was no support from this quarter. Many
stop loss orders We're uncovered, thus
acceleratng the decline. London early
purchased about as much rs it sold yes
terday. but the market there followed
local quotations so nearly that arbitrage
business ceased.
There was much money borrowed ear
~ on call money around per cent. and
s per cent. on railways, but 2 per cent.
or more in addition was exacted on In
dustrial collateral, and II per cent. for
call loans was reached at times during
the day Before the close money was
offered down from s per cent. to 4 per
cent. on railroad collateral after the
more urgent requirements for money had
been met, but later loans were made at
q per cent. The continued high rates
for money have not brought as much
money from outside points as expected.

New York, April 6.-With good at

goods to-day. Staples for quick delivery

COTTON.
New York, April 6.--The demand for
cotton futures was quite active this
morning and of general character
The opening call developed frmness at
an advance of to points on the re-
mote positions, while the nearer months
opened at unchanged prices to an adj
vance of ! point The remote deliveries
maintained a firm relation to the general
list throughout the session. owing to
adyices of cold rains in Texas and ex-
tremely low temperature. to greater
or less extent, elsewhere. Covering upon
an extensive scale was Il feature of
the early market in good part ON I.iy-
erpool and other foreign orders. These
were directed largely towards the near
positions, and resulted i'll their ultimately
moving up until the advance was as
great as that on the late positions. Still
later the general market showed more
or less irregularity resulting from an
alternating mood on the part of the
local contingent, who were influenced
by the somewhat conflicting character of
weather accounts and cotton planting
gossip. The average on the English
public cables was not satisfactory, al
though the liberal sales of spot cotton
at Liverpool made good impression.
According to private cables the advance
on futures at Liverpool was due to bull
ish weather accounts from this side.
Light receipts also served to check sell
ing. While the foreign contingent
bought the near positions quite freely
they We're disposed to sell the later de-
liyeries. Southern orders were not num-
erous, and were about evenly divided
between long and short sides of the
market. Some predictions of frost to-
night over the greater part of the cot
ton belt, and estimates of smaller re-
ceipts, made all classes of traders cauti-
Gus during the afternoon. Taking the
session as whole, the volume of trad
ing was only fairly full. with DISPOSE
ton to hesitate and hold off for further
developments respecting the new crop.
The market closed steady at net adj
vance of to points.

Drugs VIII Not Cure
Blood Poison.

If afflicted with this dreadful disease
take our advice and let up on drugs and
nostrlIms, which are powerless to effect
"a permanent cure. although they may
destroy for the time being, the visible
marks, such as sores and ulcers. What
is needed is something to cleanse the
system. something that acts on the in
side as we'll as on the outside of the
body As long as the poison is in your
system you will never be free from the
appearance of sores and ulcers. W.
know how discouraging it is to people
who have been worried in this way, but
we say keep your courage.

While there will undoubtedly be a much
larger attendance than usual at the con-
vention of the Minnesota State Fedora
ton of Labor at Duluth June IL and IS,
1t is to be regretted that SO many trades
unions In st. Paul refuse to send dele
gates. But this is still less regrettablo
than the fact that so many unions in this
city are unafflliated with the state or
national federation. There Is as much
reason why they should so affiliate as
there is for their forming a union at ALL
Individuals join trades unions simply for
protection-mutual protection Unions
federate together for the same purpose.
The larger the union the stronger it be-
comes The larger the number of unions
the stronger the federation, and, conse-
quently, the stronger the unions con-
federated. If the individual workingman
is weak, so, proportionafely, is an unaffili-
ated union. The latter can call on no
sistance in case of a strike; 1t Is power
less to enforce terms, to employers or
demand concessions. True, they can meet
once a week and air their grievances.
But the real object sought by trades
unionism is never gained save by close
and loyal afnliation with state and ma
tional declarations.

LIKES THE WEIGHT.
Jefries Comments Upon Fitz's 15S-
Pound Pipe Story.


ASBURY PARK, N. J., May N.-Jef-
fries smiled with calm Indifference when
he read in the newspapers today that
''Lanky Bob" was getting down to O.
featherweight. eff Fitz trains down
to 156 or 1853, as he is credited with saw
ing that he would do, he will have a.
great time whipping me-" said Jim,'
who is evidently well pleased to believe
that the blacksmith Is losing weight at
breabneck speed. In the minds of the
Loch Arbor group Fitz will not train
down to any such weight nor will he
get away from Jeffries without feeling
the weight of his heavy fists. Jeffries
cannot understand why Fitz should be
so confident of eluding his blows. AS
Jim Daily quantity expressed 1t, "tha
boy has knocked out several promising
heavyWeights who had previously
landed in Fitz with perfect freedom. If
Fitz really believes he will suffer this
immunity it is pleasing delusion, but
a dangerous one"
Those who have seen Jeffries box re-
Gently are of a different mind They are
willing to bank on a body blow or two
and say with emphasis that Fitz will
feel the impact when Jeffries' fist, left
or right, flies in the right direction. II

Speaking of the early. history of labor

lowing to say:
.'To escape these continual encroach-
ments on their liberties. more on their
very chances of life, the lower CLASSES

sary. 1t was then that the system of
trades unions was given birth Their
prototypes are the ancient friths or peace

In their weekly earnings. The guild took
the place of the individual in every af-
fair Of life. A neighber could call Upon
the guild when wronged by Sne Of its
members; the guild answered for the per-
son or the culprit, and when he was
guilty punished him. When these guilds
were located in towns, they inevitably
tended to combine, and eventually the
town passed from a collection of guilds
to one large one. These naturally WELD

time went on came to be a significant

NEW YORK. May 27-Terry McGovern.
of Brooklyn. defeated Sammy Kelly in
less than five rounds at the Broadway
Athletic club tonight. Kelly was in good
shape, but McGovern, with youth on his
side, was better. Both stripped well, and
although McGoVern was the faVorite at
100 to 40 on, there were many bets made
at even money that Kelly would last
twenty rounds. Both were cautious at
the opening. McGovern got in close and
put four short arm rights in quick sue
cession to the ribs and kidneys. Sammy
began holding and was cautioned Nc
Govern punched his opponent on the
body very severely. McGovern came UP
like bulldog in the second round and
forced Kelly into the latter's corner
sending right and left to head, wind and
ribs. Kelly, in an endeaVor to break
ground, slipped to the floor, and McGov-
ern helped him to his feet. Kelly kept
breaking away, McGovern forcing the
pace.
In the third McGovern began boring
in and sending his trip hammer right
hard and fast to KellY's ribs. During the
fourth McGovern kept on forcing, land
ing hard and often, and had Kelly weak
from body blows at the bell.
In the fifth round McGovern was the
aggressor and got Kelly into a neutral
corner. Terry rushed and played for the
upper works. He sent in his left to the
head. followed by a right on the jaw
staggering Kelly. Then without a mo-
ments delay he sent his left to the jaw
again and Kelly fell backward, his head
striking the floor heavily McGovern
danced around his PROSTATE opponent
while the referee was counting the ten
seconds. Kelly, who was not uncon-
scious, tried hard to get up, but it was
to no purpose, and he was counted out.
