CANADIAN TROOPS.

London, Jan. 9.-The Times cores
pondent at Modder river in dispatch
dated January 6, says that news from
Belmont shows that the Queensland
and Canadian contingent have been so
energetic in that neighborhood that a
large belt across the border of the Or
ange Free State has been deserted by
the Beers. This, the correspondent
adds, makes it all the more surprising
that Colonial rebels who have tried to
establish a camp within a relatively
short distance from Methuena army,
Col. Pitchers troops completely sacked
the Boer laager. They destroyed moth
ing but removed everything in wagons,
including records of the routed COM
mando, which is almost sufficiently
complete to betray the political stand

London, Jan. 9.-The Manchester
Guardian affirms that the disaster to
the British force at Colesberg was due
to the cowardice of the Suffolk regi-
meut. This allegation is confirmed by
dispatch received by London news
agency today, which says that the Suf
folk men were seized with a panic and
most of them fled from the field. Those
remaining including the officers, were
overwhelmed by a superior force of
Beers who annihilated or captured

IMPROVEMENT IN
 COTTON MARKET Slight Advance Based on Primer
 English Cables. BULLISH NEWS FELL FLAT Receipts Were Fair With Predictions Plentiful for Continued Liberal
 Interior Shipments for
 Some Time to Come

New York; April 7.-The cotton market higher, this improvement being based on firmer English cables than expected and reports of lighter excessive rains in the western belt. The bulish news fell fiat as a speculative stimulant, however, and inn mediately following the call business drop ped off abruptly to a struggling room, week evening up of accounts. Local shorts, New Orleans representatives and Europe bought the summer months on the call, but later neglected the market The far months re- ceived scarcely any attention. Receipts were fair with predictions plentiful for continued liberal interior shipments for some time to come. Southern spot markets were described as fairly steady, but very tame.

FOUNTAINS DEMOCRACY.

When Underwood was nominated by the democrats for congress, the republican convention, in which negroes participated. put up Aldrich to oppose him.
 MT. Fountain, now a candidate for su- perintendent of education in the coming democratic primary, was chairman of an Aldrich campaign committee and most offensively denounced the democrats, A circular during the campaign was. pub lished by Dr. Mosely in his republican pa- per, "The Birmingham Times" of October IT, 1894, which, after criticising the demo- crats and quoting an editorial criticism by one democrat of another, closes as fol- lows:
 When thieves fall out honest men get their dues. Such an editorial coming from a Black Belt, organized democratic news paper seems like Satan reproving sin.
 JERRY FOUNTAIN
 Chairman Campaign Committee" After Underwood was elected Fountain actively assisted Aldrich in getting up tes- timony upon which, by republican votes in congress, Underwood was unseated. Will democrats now honor and reward Fountain with a nomination.?

STOCK MARKET
 HAD WEAK CLOSE
Speculative Enthusiasm for Ad- vance Received a Shock.
BUYING DEMAND FELL AWAY
Showing Made by the Clearing House Banks in Their Weekly States ment Caused the Rapid
 Decline of Stocks

New York. April 1.-The speculative en- thusiasm for an advance in prices Of se- curities received a decided shock in the showing made by the clearing house banks in their weekly statement today. The buy ing demand fell away and stocks came up on the market at declining prices. The most important of the earlier gains were wiped out and the market closed weak, prices moving in contrary directions in dit- ferent parts of the lists and net changes being much mixed The short session thus ended the suspicious week under the influence of renewed buying orders from abroad, which were said to have their source in Holland. Bull pools resumed their operations in various stocks and the continued strength in Sugar gave tone to the industrial list.
 The official reports for March of the op- erations of the new financial law make 1t evident that the banks are not rushing into a precipitate note imitation, and even to the extent of the 10 per cent. increase in pres ent deposits of bonds they have proceed ed in leisurely manner. The high price of government bonds has invited large realizing and consequent withdrawal of cir- cuation of banks selling their bonds. mak- ing the lookout regarding banN circulation much confused But this realizing in gov- ernments has been accompanied by large liquidation of loans to New York banks with which the bonds were held and has released capital for re-investment as re- f1ected in the broad and active market for railroad shares
 Through the disbursement of premiums on United States bonds presented for con- version and the payment of April interest, the sub-treasury of New York has leased addition sums to the money market The largely increased demand for stock market operations has thus been easily met London's operations in Americans have continued on large scale, but the sterling exchange rate has continued up- ward. London selling to take profits partly explains this. The fact is also cited that while buying low-priced stocks London was selling the high priced ones, thus leaving a credit balance on account. The prospects of the grain crops and the evidences of for eign needs in the grain market are an ele- ment of increasing influence in the stock market.
 Business in bonds has been on a large scale and lower on class bonds with the prospects of betterment have been the fa- vortes.
