4 CARD TO MY MANY FRIENDS.

wish to express my sincere thanks to
 the many friends of my deceased wife
 and myself, who assisted me so kindly
 in taking care of her in her long sickness
 and distress, and for the many deiicaciea
 in the way of fruit, jallies, wines, etc.,
 which sick person 80 much needs, and
 longs for, which many times are hard tc get. And pray that Gods blessing may I rest upon their heads so loDg as they
 shall live, and that they may be minis tered unto in like manner when they shall
 be laid upon their beds rscked with pair
 and disease. May God bless you all.
 In this world I've gained my knowledge. And tor it have had to pay; Although never went to college, Yet we've heard that poets say, \ Life is like mighty river, ! Flowing on from day to day, ! And men are vessels launched upon 1t, Sometimes wrecked and cast away. Chorus. ! So then do your best for one another, Making lie 8 pleasant dream, Help worn and weary brother, Pulling hard against the str cam.
 Many bright, good hear ted fellow, Many a noble minded man, Finds himself in water shallow,
 Then assist h1m if you can. Some succeed at every turning, Fortune favers every scheme, While others too, though more deserving, Have to pull against the stream. It the wind is in your favor, And you've weathered every squall.
 Think of those who lackless labor, Never get fair winds at all, Working hards contented, willing, Struggling through life's ocean wide. ! Not friend, and not shilling, Pulling hard against the tide. HE. l.. Briscoe, Botstord, April 9. 1900.

IN MEMORIAM.

In the early spring we laid her In the dark and silent tomb, Where the wind blew through the pines Casting o'er shadowy gloom. Where everything was cheerless, Amidst the silent dead, Though the sun was shining brightly Through the clouds overhead. And our hearts were nearly broken With the loss of our dear one. But to God we look for comfort, Unto Him. and Him alone. In her Saviour she had trusted, All her thoughts were centered in, Often saying, all she wanted, Was to go and dwell with Him. For she knew her Heavenly Father Had prepared place tor her, Where no sickness or no trout le Could ever enter there.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 9.-There was further
large liquidation of stocks in the market
today, and prices at one time were from
to 21a points below last night for large
number OF the active railroad stocks.
Before the close of the market the losses
were fully retrieved in many stocks, and
in not few of those which had been most
acutely affected small net gains were
established. Late recovery was materi-
ally effected by buoyant rise in American
Sugar to a level of 81 points above last
night, and by strength in the
principal Metal stocks. The APP
pearance thus given was that of
the completion of spasm of liquidati ton
and the subsequent covering OF belated
outstanding short contracts and a buying
of stocks by careful observers who bad
stood by watching for the low point of
the market to get in. How we'll this APP
pearance is justified by the actual con-
ditions can only be demonstrated by flu
ture events. That there was very power
full and skllful manipulation in the mark
ct all day was clear from many ndica-
tions Evidently the process of liquida-
ton was largely concentrated in a few
hands. and it was conducted by concert
ed understanding and with a diligent
nursing of opportunities. On any consid-
cradle decline the pressure of the selling
promptly relaxed and supporting orders
were executed which over ana again
checked the decline and drove the bears
to cover their short contracts. The Ell
forts of the bears to cover were met by
, aggressive bidding up of prices IN the IN
terest of several of the most prominent
| stocks, but every time when prices re-
covered to near last nights close the
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-05-10

volume of buying orders fell off and
eventually ceased. From the renewed
vantage ground of the recovery, the flood
OF liquidation was then renewed. the VOL
ume of dealings on the recoveries was
palpaby much less than on the decline,
and the aggressive bidding up of prices
showed that the object was rather TO
establish higher level of prices imam
to secure stocks on the most advantage
Gus terms. That turning point must
ultimately be reached after such period
of liquidation and a sharp recovery must
ensue, makes the professional bears very
cautious in maintaining opposition to any
rising in the market None of the news
of the day had any apparent bearing on
the movement of prices Engagements
of gold for export to Paris, which amount
ed to little over 81 800 900, proved slight
ly larger than the preliminary estimates.
The action of the Bank of England In
advancing its paying price for American
eagles half penny to 76 shillings four
pence carried the intimaton that Lon
don might follow the example of Paris
and offer special inducements to attract
gold from New York. But the measure
taken is not sufficient to accomplish this
according to the opinions for publication
of foreign exchange experts The local
money market also showed slightly
hardening tendency. especially for time
loans, which showed the possibility of an
automatic check to the gold export move
ment in case of any increased need for
money here. All of the trunk lines, the
Pacifics. the Atchisons, Missouri Pacific
and Louisville and Nashville were special
sufferers from the liquidation, The firm
ness of the Steel stocks was doubtless
due to the large liquidation already affect,
ed in them and the outstanding short in
terest. This condition made them avail
able for manipulation for a rise to help
sustain the market.
Liquidation was in evidence in the bond
market well as in the stock market,
and high grade bonds were affected along
with the speculative issues. Total sales

New York. May 9.-The cotton market
was quiet today and at no time during
the session did bulls or bears have mark
ed advantage. The market started
steady with the present crop months one
to two points higher on better English
advices the feature of the latter being
large spot sales at full prices. The new
crop positions opened off / to , points
under reports of general Improvement IN
affairs in the belt. Up 10 midday ther"
was little further change in values, but
early in the afternoon 1ood weather pre-
dictions and promise OF larger receipts
brought out considerable long cotton and
led to fairly active short selling. Prices
gave way sharply 10 this pressure ana
failed to fully recover up TO The close.
Sentiment was more or less mixed The
market was finally quiet with prices /
point higher to points net lower.
