STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 1o.-The active lquida-
ton of the two previous days in the stock
market was relaxed today, leaving the
largely extended short interest on the
defensive. Yesterdays final recovery
gave an impetus to the demand for Amer
leans on the London market, which lifted
prices for the opening here. There was
some slight demand through commission
houses. showing that there is an element
which is watching the market closely for
indications that it has turned. The
opening strength from these causes quick
" gave way under the attack by the
bears. who used the statement OF ST.
Paul's earnings for the first week IN
May. This statement, showing decrease
from last year for the first time In many
months, did in fact have strong lnnu-
ence on sentiment. 1t was torclpie

the opening by much larger spot sales in
the English market than anticipated and
before confidence was restored prices had
been advanced slightly by covering. to-
gether with light buying for foreign ac-
count The uneasiness was short lived,
however, and before midday not only
had the opening advance of one to two
points ben wiped out but net loss of an
equal amount had been scored. Early
foreign buying orders were followed by
selling of the new crop positions. From
time to time Wall Street bought and thus
checked tendency to weakness. PHI
vate cables asserted that the big sales
of spot cotton at Liverpool were due to
offerings of very desirable cotton at for
mer selling prices. Crop and weather con-
ditions were bearish but statistics on
the other hand were decidedly in favor
of the bull crowd. Though quiet. South
ern spot markets were reported to be
holding their own in the matter OF prices.
The close was quiet, one point higher to

The objects of the organization, as
stated in its constitution. are ito cement
and strengthen the interest and associa-
tions arising out of a common residence for
a long period in the same locality; to keep
alive the "reminiscences of the past and
the social and paternal communion of the
present and the future. Assuming that as

distinctions
The association has its business meetings
and social unions upon the first Wednesday
in every month, but the state occasions upon
which every member feels himself bound
10 attend il he can possibly do so are the
celebrations of New Year Day, Washing

Upon Washingtons Birthday the Fare
well address of the Father Of His Coun-
try is read by one of the members or
someone invited for that purpose, and ap-
propriate addresses are made. The Fourth
of July furnishes notable occasion for
an ebullition OF patriotism which is at once
sincere and dignified. The old custom OF
reading the Declaration of Independence
is still kept up, and ringing speeches are
made which warm the hearts OF
the members and bring to the minds OF the
younger generation, should any happen TO
be present. an idea of the public feeling
which existed when Jefferson's immortal
document was still fresh in the country's
memory.
The roll of membership includes many
OF the best-known citizens of Washington,
some of whom are notwithstanding a ripe
age in the full vigor OF an active business
career.
The meetings are held at the headquar-
tiers of the society in the Corcoran Building,
and in addition TO the business transacted
are occasions of true social pleasure and
