but the upward march of prices will, as
usual, draw the public in.


The iron and steel securities were all
buoyant during the greater part of the
day, and, with the exception of the Wire
stocks, they all made good net gains fer
the day. Federal Steel common went as
high as 40 and closed at ~ as. Tennes-
see Coal and Iron advanced to S. and
closed at the Top price. Colorado Fuel
and Iron advanced to AZ 1-2 and closed at
-. The short interest in these stocks vas
reduced yesterday, but it was not by any
means eliminated. The chances favor a
continuance Of the upward movement in
the group this week and quite possibly
there may he a boom before many days.
The effects of the Gates onslaught have
passed largely, and cooler headed people
are beginning to see that the steel indus
try is still prosperous and profitable in
wonderful way. II is now said to be very
nearly certain that the resignation of Mr..
Gates viii take place on May :, and this
fact lends confidence to the buying of the
group. The statement of the Car and
Foundry Company for the year, issued
yesterday, was a fine one, quite up to
those Of the other steel concerns recently
published. II is said that dividend CT
the common Car and Foundry stock is not
far away.

Mr.. Huntington has denied the story that

stock is somewhat of a mystery. The

PULLED WITH DOUBLE HEADER.
Capt. sapp Brings in Fifty Loads
From Columbus.

The longest and heaviest freight
train that has rolled into Americas in
long while was brought down on the
Central Yesterday from Columbus,
Conductor Sapp in charge.
The train consisted of ffty-two car.
loads of miscellaneous freight, Gotten,
etc., and was pulled by two monster
engines-a double header. This kind
of train is not often seen in this sec.
tion of the south, and this one was
probably the first seen here IN many
years, il ever before.
Engineer Joe Baldwin, the oldest
throttle puller on the Fourth division,
with engine 1343, was at the front,
while Engineer A. Boulineau with No.
1881, sent cinders skyward as he tug.
ged with those fifty-two loads.
The idea of ''double header" is to
save the expense of an extra train
crew, while the same power is obtain.
ed. The engines were coupled to.
gether, and the train of fifty-twc
freights and two passenger cars strung
out nearly half mile in length and
attracted considerable attention when
it rolled into the yards.
Capt. Sapp said that he expected tc
pull hundred cars into Columbus on
the return trip last night.

BAR FAvORs THE CITY COURT.
Movement is Endorsed at Meeting
Yesterday.

The movement looking to the estab-
lishment of city court in Sumter,
mention of which was made In last
Saturdays Times Recorder, has the
unanimous endorsement of the local
bar as evidenced at a meeting held
yesterday morning at the court house,
many members being present.
Judge J. A, Ansley presided, with
r. e. Lee, Esq as secretary.
After the subject had been discussed
at some length it was resolved unani-
mously that it was the sense of the bar
of Amerlcus that city court be estab-
lished for Sumter.
Upon motion, Chairman Ansley ap-
pointed committee of five, consisting
of Messrs. J. FL. Lumpkin, r. L. May
nard, f. A. Hooper, W. A. Dodson and
w. w. Dykes to confer with the coun-
ty commissioners and draft bill to be
referred back to the association at some
subsequent date.
The establishment of a city court
here will prove not only a source of
economy but will greatly expedite
business. The idea advanced that it
would interfere with the mayors court
is wholly erroneous.
There is not the slightest connection
between the two tribunals.
At the bar meeting yesterday COM
mittees consisting of L. J. BIalcck, E.
L Query and w. P. Wallis, and one
consisting of W. I. Lane, E. A. Nisbet
and R, L. Maynard were appointed to
draft resolutions upon the death of L.
f. Mccoy, Esq. and E T. Hinton,
ESQ.,, respectively, to make report
later.
The meeting then adjourned, sub
iect to the call of Chairman Ansley.

MUNICIPAL
BEING DISCUSSED,
Mayoralty Race in Americas Will be
Lively.
MANY CANDIDATES FOR HoNORs
Half Dozen Would Grace Mayors
Chair From Their Standpoint,
While Office of Alderman Not Co.
ing Begging.

While the city primary for the nom
nation OF Mayor and Aldermen is still
some time off the average aspirant for
honors, believing in the "early bird"
theory, is already upon the hustIngs
and greets his old friend, the voter,
with more than usual cordiality. He
feels that he may need him.
And he certainly will if he stays in
to the finish.
This year Americas will elect may
or, three members of the Aldermanic
board and a clerk and treasurer, and
there will be no lack of aspirants for
some of these places,
1t is understood that Mayor Hixon,
who has been thrice elected to that
Office, will not offer again, and many
are there who would wear the robes of
office thus discarded. In fact, at least
two members of the present council
are looking about to see if the robes
will fit them.
But they are not the only ones with
finger upon the public pulse and eyes
cast longingly towards the chair of
state that adorns the Mayors Office.
There are others-several others
and they will be on the hustings in
time. Two or three members of the
bar have aspirations in that direction,
it is SAID, while at least two others in
another line of business have had their
friends to Suggest" their eminent
fitness for this office.
But there will be plenty of time for
all to get on the race course.
The important Office of councilmen
will command attention as well, and
there will be numerous applicants for
the three vacancies. Aldermen Watts,
Query and Oliver are the retiring
members, though they may be inclined
to stand again for the same places or
something better"
The primary takes place some two
months hence, but even this far in ad
vance the wise candidate is looking
after his fences all along the liue.

Fletcher, Albert Fletcher and John
Phelps, who are accused of the proba-
BILE death of J. B. Cason, the marshal
of Mystic, who was shot on Sunday

COTTON CONTINUES
DOWNWARD COURSE,
Heavy Receipts and Light Demand
The Cause.
FUTURES TAKE ANOTHER SLIDE.
Drops Twelve or Fifteen Points But
Regains Some on Close. Spot Market
is Down One Cent From High Level
of Last Week,

AS cotton dealers here predicted, the
contract market continued yes
terday the downward course it has been
pursuing for nearly week, and the
price of spots tumbled as well,
Opening at decline of four to six
points, it dropped lower still until a
net loss of a dozen points had been
scored. Fluctuations were slight,
however, and with final rally at the
finish quotations for the favorite
months went back to the opening fig
ures of the morning.
It was dragging market, however,
throughout the day
Americas buyers were not flush OF
orders, as they have been heretofore,
owing to the indisposition of exporters
and mill men to buy cotton at the
present prices.
Receipts at the warehouses were
good yesterday, aggregating 412 bales,
aud prices ranged as high as 104 cents
for the best grades though an eight
less was the ruling price. New York
spots were quoted at only 1O4 cents,
and prices here are about in accord
Herewith.
Some here do not think the decline
has quite ended.
Many farmers here yesterday sold at
prevailing prices, some selling the
same cotton at 1O4 cts that they re-
fused 104 cts. for a week ago. These
did not care to take chances on fur
thur slump and sold at the decline. 1t
may go lower
And then it may not. The chances
