The Price, Mccormick Failure.

The large cotton brokers' finn ot
Price, Mccormick and Co, has
failed.
The extent Of the failure is not
known, though 1t Is believed the
firm materially reduced It's holdings
durng the last few days. The firm
was one Of the most prominent III
;he street, and was said to have
been long of cotton in the face of a
FAST falling market. While it is
impossible TO get any definite fig
urss, various firms in wall street
place the firms loss in cotton at
frsm 81, ,OOO, 900 to $4,000, ,oOo.
Price, Mccormick and Co., have
long been regarded as the leading
supporters of the market, and t
one time 1t was said that they were
going TO put August cotton to ten
cents. the decline Of the past
month was against he firm, and
despite Their efforts, they could not
hold the market up. Therefore to.
days developements did not come
as total supgIse, though they had
sufficient force to temporarily de-
morallze the trade.
Mr.. Croker, as special partner,
it is understood, contr!butedto to the
firm $780, 900 special capital. The
present firm was organized January
2, 1897. Up to half past one
o'clock, II, 200 shares of stock had
been sod and bought under the
rule of the Stock Exchange for ac'
count Of Price, Mccormick and Co.

What is Sacred Music.

A writer in a London paper says:
at is really time that Parliament
took the matter of Sunday music
in hand. The county council has
very properly arrived at a mOdus
vivendi; but there is no reason why
such compromise as now exists
should be necessary. | suppose a
good deal Of opposition to Sunday
music in the past has been due to
the general mis-apprehension OF
what is sacred music. The distinc-
ton between it and secular music
is generally drawn by those who
cannot distinguish one tune from
another; by those who are, as
Charles Lamb confessed he was,
organically incapable of a tune.
70 such as these, if you wrote a
march and called it the "Khaki7
march, you would have perpetrated
a piece of secular music; but if
YOU rechristened it with a sacred
title it would be considered fit for
reproduction on the harmonium of
Sunday afternoon. These gen
tlemen organically incapable of a
tune Judge music by the words 20
which it has been set, if song; or
by the title If composition of
'.absolute" music-that is. music
which is not a setting of a poem.
but stands alone. 1t does not
matter how sentimental or worldly
music may be in its general char
acter, it is sacred because it is so
labeled. You may take a poem
about angels, or choir boys who
have become angels, (the youngest
metamorphosis in the world, as
any one who knows choir boys will
tel you,} and set it to cheap and
sentimental music, and, 10y you have
written a sacred song. But you
may put all the most solemn and
sincere feeling of which you are
caDable into the slow movement of
symphony, and unless you label
it !'Adago religioso' you have writ
ten secular music. 1t is strange
world, my masters.
