STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, August 6.--The early deal
ings in the stock market showed sur
Vival of last weeks strength, but it gave
way in face of the days developments
and the market yielded whatever gains
had been established The final prices
measured in comparison with the high
level of the day, show some considerable
losses as the general rule. The early
movement was especially notable in the
Pacifcs, Northern Pacific taking the lead
on the theory that its price was not
commensurate with the level of Union
Pacific and Missouri Pacific. Union Pa
cifc also continued firm. Reading, first
preferred was taken in quite large
amounts on the supposition that the di-
vision rate would be increased at today's
meeting The stock fell back liz when
the declaration of the same rate of di-
vidend as the last was announced.
American Sugar weakened on the report
of the shading of several grades Of soft
sugar which was taken to indicate a
renewal of competition in the trade. The
more cheerful feeling regarding the iron
and steel stocks which has been in evI-
dences for some time past, lifted prices
in that group. Colorado Fuel and Iron
was conspicuous. Tlhe preferred shc<A
was bid up from 100 to 125. at which price
100 shares changed hands. The bid price
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-08-07

was then further advanced to 12712 with
ont bringing out stock. This stock is
cumulative and is entitled to 20 per
cent. in back dividends. The movement
is supposed to foreshadow the payment
of an installment of the arrearage of di-
vidends. The Steel group weakened later
in the day The circumstantial accounts
from Pittsburg of extensions by the Car
negie Company looking to competition
with some Of the new combinations, af-
fected the group, especially Federal
Steel and Steel and Wire. The more
serious phase developed in the Chinese
situation had some effect on the market,
although the London exchange was closed
and the influence of news there could not
well be measured. Preparations for
exports OF gold on Wednesday were re-
ported, though no definite announcement
was made of engagements. Sterling eX-
change rose an additional fraction, but
still falls short of shade of what has
been regarded as the export point TO
London. The subscriptions in New York
to the new issue Of British exchequer
bonds are generally regarded as the I'M
mediate cause OF the outward move
ment 1t is evident that these subscrlp-
tions would not necessarily demand an
outward movement of gold as the coun-
try's very large credit abroad would be
ample to cover the subscriptions, but the
urgent need of the London money mark
ct for gold may have led to some special
provision that the underwriting syndi-
Gates should provide that metal in pay
ment of the bonds. There is a large de-
mand for the bonds, as matter OF
course. in view Of the fact that Ameri-
can railroad bonds of high grade are
finding their way home by every steam
er and foreign railroads and Industrial
securities are not in favor with Ameri-
can capital, owing to the declining ten
dency of earnings abroad. Opinion here
as to the effect on the money market
has crystallized into a conviction that
no severe strain need result. The fea-
sibility of any large speculative move
ment in view Of the coming demands on
the money market is still much doubted.
The bond market continued at very
low ebb of activity and the movement of
prices was slight Total sales (par value)

COTTON.
New York, August 6-The cotton trade,
with the Liverpool market still closed,
after Saturdays holiday was naturally
a timid one. The room traders, expect
ing bearsh cables tomorrow to follow
the brilliant crop accounts that have
been cabled since Friday, and also ex-
pecting a bearish weekly Government re-
port tomorrow were inclined to sell when
ever moved to trade at all. But as a
class they preferred to hold off for &C
tual advices from Liverpool and Wash
ington. After opening steady at un-
changed prices to decline of five points
there was a still further decline of one
to six points. Then followed a SHARP
reaction of twelve to fifteen points with
the market finally barely steady at a
net advance Of from four to eight points
Liquidation Of long accounts was the
feature of the early market and covering
of the later business. Wide orders were
scarce; gthose reaching the market gen.
orally went to the short side Of the
account. particularly the orders from
the South, following reports Of weak
spot markets there and a continued brill
aiant crop outlook. The reports from
spinning districts and cotton goods mark
cts, furnished no encouragement. The
feature of the movement was the re-
ceipt of twenty-five. bales of new cot

New Zealand Mans Hot Shot Fired At
the Arbitration Conference
In Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 19.-Hugh H. Lusk. for
merly a member Of the parliament Of
New Zealand and q distinguished Wis
itor at the industrial conference, scored
the discussions of the meeting with bit
ing sarcasm in his address Tuesday.
Mr.. Lusk was the first man on the pro-
gramme of the second days session of
the conference, and in an extempora-
neous introduction to his formal adj
dress he s%cathingly arraigned the speak
ers of Monday upon the charge of ig-
norance concerning compulsory arbi-
tration. He singled out Samuel b.
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor. for a few barbed
shafts regarding Mr.. Gompers' claim
that labor had absolute liberty to
strike, when, how and where it pleased.
1--WE do not call it liberty in New
Zealand" said the speaker, with great
earnestness; I'VE call it license"

TRAIN R0BBER FOUND DEAD.
Central HOld-Up Succumbs to
Wounds Received.

New Orleans, Dec. 1e.-Detectives
found Tuesday the body of n OF
the robbers who on last Thursday
night held up, within the city limits
of New Orleans, the Chicago mail
train on the Illinois Central railroad,
shot Conductor Kinnabrew and made
their escape with a number of regis
tered mail packages.
Late in the day the dead robber
was identified as Claiming B. Barnes,
alias John H. Nelson, alias Jack Nell
son. He was wanted for holding up
the Illinois Central train near Wick
life, Ky, last July and robbing the
safe of the American Express COM
pany. His brother, Charles w. Barnes,
and Richard Doyle were convicted for
this latter robbery and each is serv-
ing a sentence in the Kentucky state
penitentiary. When the attempt was
made to arrest Claiming Barnes in
St. Louis he shot Chief Special Agent
George Murray and made his escape.
When the body was discovered it
was found that Barnes had cut his
throat and had evidently just died.
His own watch and that of Conductor
Kinnabrew were running. He had
been wounded in the back and left
wrist. Registered letters and dyna-
mite were found on the body.
