PRICES MOVED IN
 AN UNCERTAIN WAY
Interest in Stock Speculation on
 a Diminished Scale.
DECLINE AT THE OPENING
h Which the Specialties Particularly Participated A Midday Rally Was Ledby the Vanderbilts, Follow
 ed by Another Decline.

New York; April 1e.-Interest in stock speculation today was on a diminished scale. the dealings aggregatlng little over half million shares
 Prices moved in an uncertain manner and number of marked net losses resulted. There was q decline at the opening in which the speclaltles particularly partiei- pated, midday rally led by the Wander bilts and an afternoon decline in which the Changers were prominent.
 The liquidation of Friday prompted a number of brokers to return borrowed money, and call rates were generally easier, 6 to ! per cent prevailing the greater part of the day. Several million dollar loans were made. The sterling loans were re- sponsible fer an easier tone in the sterling exchange market. The recurrence of syn dicate operations and the floatation of In- dust1ials is the basis of the expectation of fair rates at least for money.
 This week $2S, GOO GOO approximately is to be called in connection with the foatation of the American Pump company, the Chi cago and Alton syndicate deai and sub scrption payment on Manhattan, while the call for subscriptions involves several mill lion dollars on the steel hoop combination has been postponed.
 Commission house business fell off con siderably but there was evidence of an ef- fort to stimulate interest in the market in some speeialties notwithstanding Fridays decline had wiped out weak holdings Some weak accounts were closed out today, caus- ing the early decline One block of 15,00o shares of Brooklyn Transit was sold just after the opening. The Vanderbilt shares which had advanced smartly, retained part of their rise. Gossip about subscription privileges advanced Great Northern pre- ferred Consolidated Gas broke 8 points, presumably because of tho published inter- view with a prominent politician favoring municipal ownership of that industry The selling of the Changers in the afternoon was due to apprehension as to the possible character of the government crop state ment to be made known this afternoon. The market closed steady.
 Transactions in railway mortgages were rather light, and while the market lacked decided tone the changes either way were only fractional. Total sales, $2, ,235, 900.
 New York, April 10.-Total sales today were 557,110 shares, including: 15,O0n Amer ican Steel and Wire, Il 200 American Sugar, 33900 Brooklyn Transit, 94 300 Burlington, 13,200 Chesapeake and Ohio, 29,7OO Continent Tobacco, 9 800 Federal Steel, il 500 Federal Steel preferred, 32100 Manhattan, 23GOO Mis- souri Pacific 22,900 New York Central. 26.- G00 Peoples Gas and Coke, 19,700 St. Paul, 12,20O Union Pacific preferred.

FLUCTUATIONS IN
 COTTON PRICES Reports of Frost Caused Rapid
 Advance. ...s
BULLS WITHOUT A LEADER
The Bear Contingent Distrusted Their Position While Showing TeIegrams That Planting on tho Acreage
 Progressing Satisfactorily.

New York April 1O-The cotton market made barely steady start, the first call trading was at unchanged prices to de- cline of points, the weakness being due to unsatisfactory cables.
 Immediately after the call, however. there was a sharp rally of Sa4 points, start cd by brisk buying by houses with foreign connections, stimulated by reports of heavy to big frosts in the Atlantic sections This also started demand from local shorts. July and August buying by houses with no New Orleans connections was also a fea- ture of the early market. Before noon, however, prices had receded to about the opening call basis and trading became very slack. There was considerable disappoint- ment regarding the volume of outside speculation in view of the contradictory and unsatisfactory character of the wealth CT and crop accounts from the south.
 The bull interest was without leader, and the bear contingent distrusted their position, while showing dispatches to prove that cotton planting was making seasona- ble progress on the average. During the afternoon speculative dealings became very narrow with a gradual leakage of long cot ton, giving q rather weak undertone to the local situation. The market was finally quiet at a net loss of 2d3 points.

Paine. Murphy 2 Co.'S Steel, Letter

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy 6 Go.
 Birmingham, April 10.-Stocl1s opened ae- tive and feverish. Declines, which were in number of cases in excess of one point, were noted, while in the instance of B. R. T. q loss of points took place in the first quarter hours dealings. The strongest fsa- ture was Big Four, which advanced neary 3 per cent. on the report that the stock would soon enter the regular dividend list. The grangers showed fractional declines. but the dealings in them were small and little was done in the PaCfic5 London Was not factor of the market. Appre- tensions of 9 close money market and fears that the government crop report would make an unfavorable showing were enter talned among some. The market continued firm throughout the forenoon. The indus trial shares developed strength with Con solidated Tobacco the feature. B. R. T. recovered the whole of it's cary decline and Peoples Gas was very firm. There was no special change in money, the mar ket being fairly easy.

From the Chicago Tribune
 Speaking of railway securities., said Stint, "what do ycu understand by com mon and preferred stock?"
 "As nearly as I can make out,' replied Civilians, Common stock is what it is be- fore its run over by the cars, and pre- ferred stock is the kind it is when the fn- sjured owner sends his bill to the com pany."

New York. April 10.--Commercial Adver- tiser's London financial cablegram:
 The markets were irregular here today on closing-in time of the settlement Invest- ment stocks were dull. These rallied later. Americans opened above parity, but were idle here. New York came dull and be- came q shade harder The close was mid way between the best and the worst The only features were Atehison and New York
 Central. The market here regards the New York money squeeze as merely a shakc-out of weak industrials. Tintos were 42ls. Thirteen thousand pounds gold in bars was bought by the bank and 10000 pounds arrived from Holland. The bank bought at IS, sgd part of an African parcel. Trade returns show exports increased 7.15 points, but this is due mainly 10 new shipping not included last year. Imports decreased i.E points, owing to the rise in copper and tin.

AN AL|MONY SUIT FILED IN CHANCERY COURT SATURDAY BY CECILE
 s. MAYS.
NON SUPPORT IS CHARGED
T. (. Mays and M. Leak, of the Exhibit Cars Made
 Defendants,

Saturday afternoon in the Jeffer- son chancery court Attorney ". F.. Coleman filed suit in which Mrs. Cecile S. Mays prays alimony against her husband, I. s. Nays, and MT. M. Leak, the manager of the exhibit cars at this place, in whose employ T. s. Mays is; he was made party defendant to the suit.
 Cecil s. Mays, the complainant, charges that she was married to the defendant, T. c. Mays, seven years ago in the city of Washington, D. O., but she is now a resident of this state as is also the defendant. Until recently she and the. defen- dant lived together at Little Rock and during the entire period of her married life she has in all things endeavored to meet every require ment of wifely devotion and conduct with defendant. That she has never at any time gwen defendant any cause to cast her off. She further states ln Ter complaint that not withstanding her exemplary con- duct the defendant has for a period of several years past systematically neglected and reproached her with out cause, offered her personal in- dignities by abusive language.
 That on the 18th of November the defendant left the plaintiff in Little ROCK in lented rooms, and as she charges in her complaint, refused to pay the rent for same. That he said to her ' You must give up. these rooms as will not pay one cent for you" and "l will quit you" and 1T won't support youk any Ion- ger.p.
 Defendant Mays is now making good money, so the complaint charges, with one M. Leak who is manager of the Arkansas Agricult- ural and Development Co.,, though complainant does not know how much.
 Premises considered she prays that she be allowed such alimony as the court may deem proper from time to time until the conduct of the defendant becomes proper by reconciliation.
 That Mays be made to disclose the amount of his income and Leak is made party to the suit for the same reason and purpose.
 Saturday afternoon Chancellor John M. Elliott, entered an order of record that Mays, the defendant, pay into court $100.
