rived by wheat from the carly corn

~ ebhed later under the influence OF
lower export bids and other bearlsh
considerations, May closing only n
shade oveg yesterday. May corn closed
shade down and May oats improved a
shade. At the close the provision mar
ket was 2Is07IEc depressed.
Under the domination Of higher cables
from both Liverpool and Paris and the
strength of corn. May wheat opened &c
over yesterday at $3.50 6Bc. Trade for 4
time was fairly active, shorts covering
freely. To-day's cash business amount
ed TO 100000 BUSHELS but IL ives re-
ported done at lower prices than yester-
day. This, together with larger receipts
and the small clearances. the good
weather and tho fact that corn failed
to hold Its early advantage, caused n
reaction. and the close was rather
heavy, May only n shade over yester-
day at 65$c. New York reported 10
loads taken for export, and most of the
cash sales here were for the other side.
ClearBnces In wheat and flour were u.s.
900 bushels. Primary receipts were $50, :
900 bushels. compared with $4,000 BUSH
els last year. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported SIS cars against 544 last week
and 454 a year ago. Local receipts were
S. cars one of contract grade.
With Liverpool 18Glhd up. light
country offerings and u good outside
demand, corn gave an exhibition OF OBJ
stinate perversIty by slowly sagging
from the advanced position assumed at
the opening, which was &c up for May
at 3Sk G3SSsc. The loss in price was
due to persistent profit taking by longs.
Cash business was rather slow,
amounting to only $1,000 bushels. The
first half hour the market was broad
ana rather narrow. May declined to
37Hc closing heavy at that price, n
shade under yesterday. Local receipts
were AIS cars. 3 cars over the estimate.
Chicago is expected to Increase 100000
bushels.
The oats market was as usual Of very
minor Importance. The early strength
of corn impaired supporting influence
and the sluggish folk In that pit awat-
ened too late to the fact that cora was
retreating, and in consequence the oats
market closed firm. The receipts were
2l9 cars. May ranged from 2492iIsc to
2ikd24hc, and closed shade up at
24hc.
The trade in provisions was not large.
There was considerable profit taking
and some selling by packers. and even
the early strength Of corn was OF little
influence. Prices at the yards were
lower and shipments OF product under

to II 72I5 and closed 7lsc down at II 72is.
May lard from Sc % to 50 20 closing so

FINANCE AND TRADE.
The Features of the Money and Stock
Markets.

nhTReLSs
NEW YORK, March 4.-Evidently
Wall street attaches Importance at this
time to the attitude OF London to-
wards the local securities market; for
when 1t was seen from the morning ca
BILE dispatches that London had revers i.
ed It's attitude of yesterday and had
begun to buy American securities, the
disposition manifest here yester-
day to sell out and take
profits was completely altered.
The buying for London account was
supplemented by rush to buy by all
classes. LondOn's influence was shown
in the leadership in the early market
OF tho international favorltes. Of which
Baltimore & Ohio and Denver & Rio
Grande stocks were most conspicuous.
Baltimore & Ohio rose in the late deal
ings err extreme 3% per cent, and re-
taIned Its conspicuous place In the mar
ket throughout. Pennsylvania, in which
the transactions are rarely on large
scale, was dealt in In 1000 share lots
almost as though that we're the nor
mai unit Of transactions and
Individual TRANSACTIONS in the
stock ran from that up to
5000 shares. which was the size of
the block taken whence the price first

more or less affected by this movement,
but the stream of realizing helo back

wards were frequent all through the
railroad list and blocks Of 5000 shares
changed hands in Atchison common and
Southern Pacific. The Pacificg, especi-
ally Atchison and some OF the South
ern and Southwestern group were very
heavily dealt in all day. The grangers
were less active. but tho group was
strong. There was some tendency to re-
action in the local fractions and the
Iron & Steel stocks were quiet. Other
wise there was no important exception
to the general activity and strength

based on the growing abundance OF
funds offered to borrowers. The heavy
loan contraction In spite Of the out
break of speculative activity, indicates
how Important an element has been the
buying OF government bonds for speCu-
lation In tying up the money market.
The late rally In governments indicates
that the principal liquidation on this
account has been completed. The loan
contraction by the banks resulted In Il
decline IN deposits Of nearly Sl4,00O00O

in cash was only $360,7OO, the surplus
was benefited to the substantial extent

The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1900-08-31

The county democratic organ is making strong
appeals for organization. In these appeals it ad-
mits there is apathy among the democrats. Well,
now, that is nature personifed There is no logical
reason to present to the rank and file of that party
why they should be up and doing. The matter
of being up in arms against the political party un
der whose control Of the government they have
grown well-to-do and in many instances rich is
not only dstasteful to them but also repulsive
They are satisfied with commercial conditions and
the conduct of the affairs of the county, state and
nation They see no reason for repetition ofthe
disastrous venture made some years ago, notwith-
standing the pretension of the democratic poll
tician who wants Office in claiming there is reason
The people Of Harrison county have made up their
minds to leave well enough alone.
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1900-08-31

a more unwarrantsd assertion never was made,
and there is not the slightest justification for such
q statement The Telegram invites the voters OF
Harrison county to carefully inspect the entire pop
ulationof the county and find single colony, or
single man, brought here by the republican party
for election purposes Such an inspection will ex-
pose the utter falsity of the charge. So far ~
other sections OF the state are concerned. the par
san democratic press. with no regard for truth,
but much for political effect are INDUCING insmi-
lar assertions as those made by the News, which
when sitted prove equally false So far as an hon
est ballot is concerned no party has ever striven
harder for it than the republican party, and that
party has never disfranchised whole race either,
as the democrats have done.

Forgetful of the recent wholesale disfranchise-
ments of the colored race in the South, and the
strong tendency toward that end in this state by
the democrats the Clarksburg News says, the
negro is beginning to see that he is free man.
possessing manhoods rights and has the liberty
to exercise his independence as he deserves. How
long would the democrats have him free? No
longer than is necessary to make HIM slave
How many rights would be accorded him by the
democrats? Surely, manhood's rights. Ac
cording to the democratic organ, itself the only
right they would give the colored people would be
the right to be forced from their homes aud colon
lied by themselves in some barren region to starve
to death. They even talk about liberty, and yet,
If our memory serves us right and without the
slightest intention to wave the bloody shirt, but
merely for the purpose of exposing democratic pro-
LESSONS of love and reverence for The colored
we believe the democratic party some years ago
undertook to disrupt our government and brou ght
on bloody and expensive war to tighten the yoke
of bondage around the necks of the colored race.
1t is mere pretension. Liberty for the colored
man was never in the democratic category, and
never will be- Exercising his independence as he
deserves, sounds nicely, but it never was in the
province of democrat to think or believe the col.
ored race even deserved much except to be slaves.
Our democratic friends may as well call it off The
colored race Is dead on to them and will show them
a thing or two at the proper time.

The large crowds the republican candidates
meet at the points they speak in this state and the
enthusiastic receptions given the speakers show
that the hosts are with US, and the majority the

Inadvertently short piece of democratic plate
about imperialism crept into the supplement of the
Telegram. Democratic organs will doubtless prate
considerably about it, purposely pretending not to
know it was mistake that occurs once in while
in all newspaper Offices That the article appeared
in our columns is no evidence that we endorse it.
1t was mistake made by the mechanical depart.
m, and not by the editorial.

BY the way, the old line horses of the demo-
cratic party did not fall over one another to get
the democratic nomination for congress in this dis
trict Not one could be found who would consent
to take it. They know TOT well how the cat hops
to be put up for sacrifice this year, and could not
make up their minds to 80 up against Captain
Dovener, the winner.
