Stocks-TO-day's stock market was
largely in professional hands and
trading was congested in the special
ties again. The professional contin-
gent who have bought stocks to dis
count the enactment of the currency
law sold to-day to realize. Pressure
from this source was not heavy, but
the demand for stocks was so light
that the dribbling offerings made
steady inroads upon prices, carrying
few of the standard railroad stocks
off point during the course of the
late trading. The movement of prices
in the specialties was wider, due to
special causes. Sugar was sold from
Boston, where offers were made of the
next dividend below 11a per cent rate
last December on large amounts Of
stocks. Brooklyn Transit suffered
from the refusal of the State railroad
commission to defer the quarterly re-
port. The Rubber stocks felt the I'M
favorable influence of the pleasant
weather, accompanied with stories of
large stocks to be carried over till next
season. Peoples Gas was sold afresh
on Chicago orders. The most con-
spicuous movement of the day was in
Third Avenue, which sold down to Sc
in the morning, but shot UP to sc late
in the day after the publication of the
receivers report, driving the bears to
cover with a scramble. The stock re-
acted 31a and fuctuated feverishly,
closing with a net gain of points.
For the most part the speculative atti-
tude is one of continued waiting for
the results of the new financial law to
manifest themselves. A feeling or
doubt increases that however prompt
may be these results, they will not
avail to offset the continued drain
time to effect the Saturday bank
statement This being the case that
statement is likely to show surplus re-
serves practically wiped out To-
morrow is the date set for the dis
bursemeIt of quite a large amount of
dividends, including that of $40 per
share on the stock Of the Standard Oil
Company The dividend alone will
amount in the aggregate to $40 100000.
Several million dollars additional will
be disbursed as dividends on this vari-
Gus stocks. This may reasonably be
expected to have some effect on to-
morrow's money market. To-day
rates for money were firmly held, but
bankers were eager to place loans for
the longer periods, while borrowers
were unwilling to bid for any but
short time loans, clearly rejecting the
expectation of easier conditions near
at hand. February, record of ex-
ports of merchandise attracted atten-
ton as going far to explain the re-
cent heaviness in sterling in face of
large demands upon the market and
as promising to make the current fis-
cal year a record one in the country's
foreign trade. Buying of bonds con-
tinued on a large scale at advancing
prices. Total sales par value $685.

period of the year. When the roads do

although quoted lower in West Virginia
than any where else. Quotations on pro-

of another decided advantage in cabbage.
Corn is migher. Baled straw has adj

to the inferior quality Of stock with which
the market is being flooded at present.

of Francisco Arm endaiz in Mexico
City this morning at eight o'clock
The message further stated that
the remains would be conveyed to
Monterey, the home of the deeeas-

The news was quite a shock to
Mr. Armendaizl friends aud ac-
quaintances In both Matam0sos ana
Brownsville, as he was supposed
to be in his usual health, having
recently returned to Mexico from
a visit to the Paris exposition.
Mr. Armeudaiz was friendly to

loss is keenly felt by the leading
business meh.

tive of Spain, and vas aged IS
years. He came to Matalnoros when
a small boy, and grew to manhood
there. He seou developed a talent
for business and was well estab-
iished at an early age. In 1888 he
moved to Monterey, becoming in
terested in railroads and the min
ing business, in which he amassed
great fortune, being worth over
a million dollars IN gold. He leaves
four sOSs and seven daughters, all
grown,
Mr.. Armendaiz owned extensive
interests in Matamoros,
among which is the street railway
SYSTEM II that city and Santa Cruz,
business interests in this section
being under the management Of
German Aramburh. He also own
ed considerable land in Cameron
county. His death his generally
regretted here, as he was a man
who was highly respected and
we'll liked.

COTTON SEASON OVERFLOW THE
COTTON SHIPPED INTO
MEXICO.


COTTON SHIPPED INTO
MEXICO.
Don Florencio saenz Has Made the
4 Wilderness to Bloom-A Wedding al
the Bali Ranch.
To THE HERALD.
Progreso, Hidalgo Co., Tex,
Dec. 11.-Some of our farmers are
i'cleaniug up their fields, getting
ready 20 plough, while others are
picking the little eofton which is
still On the plants. The gin of P.
s. Champion & Co. will probably
close for the season on the 18th
inst, as the little cotton left will
not pay to keep open longer. Last
season there we're ginned at this
place -364 bales, while this year
they will fall short 80 or 80 bales.
The reason of this shortage is
not only due TO damage done to
cotton by the picado, but also be-
cause a great deal of cotton was
sold by our farmers to buyers
from Mexico. This cotton was to
be delivered on the bank of the
Rio Grande, from whence the buy
ers would cross it to the Mexican
side and deliver it in Matamoros
or Reynosa. How it is that so
much cotton can be crossed into
Mexico right in the very face of
the Mexican guards, aud nothing
be said about it, is one of the myS-
teries of the frontier.
Comfy Commissioner Florencio
Saenz is still hard at work, putting
up his irrigating and sugar plant.
He has sixty horse power boiler,
a fifty horse power engine, a ten
by twelve centrifugal pump, and !
one of the latest improved cane
mills. The sugar industry on Don
FlOrenciO's ranch is still IN It's in
fancy, but with the good machin |
cry he is putting NAand the per-
severance he possess t promises
to be a big thing. rec years
ago, Mr.. Saenz's ranoh-which by |
the way is named Toluca, and at |
which place the Progreso postofiee
is situated-was nothing but a |
dense wood. Today it is quite a
little village, with broad fields ad-
joining it. Give Hidaigo county a |
few more citizens like Mr.. Closuer
aud Don Floreneio, and it would |
not be many years before it would
become the banner county of this |
section, if not of the state.

NICARAGUA MAY OBJECT
ASSOCIATED Press Specially

ASSOCIATED Press Specially
New York, March ia specis, to
the Herald from Washington says:
While Nicaragua has filed no formal
| complaint of the Davis amendment to
the Hay Pauncefote treaty, the feeling
in pan-American circles is that that
country will interpose objection to any
attempt on the part Of the United
States to carry out its provisions In
time Of war.
| Senior Corea, the diplomatic repre-
sentative Of Nicaragua here, says that
as signed, the convention meets with
the entire approval Of his government,
but he declines to discuss the Davis
amendment, and how he or his gov
| eminent regards II.
1t is known, however, that he feels
that Nicaragua would be justified in
| refusing to grant any concessions to
the United States when a provision
in q treaty with a third power announ-
ces that 1t proposes to take any meas
ures that may seem advisable with
reference to the canal for its own de-
tense.
This may mean, in the opinion Of the
pan-American diplomats, that the
United States may seize the territory
through which the canal passes and
fortify 1t or take any other high
handed action on the pretext that 1t is
necessary for its own defense.
The Central American republics
heartily applauded the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty, because Of its neutrality
feature and they sincerely regret, ac-
cording to their representatives here,
that the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations has deemed 1t expedient to
make notifications.
A high official Of the Administration
said that the British Government will
be inclined to reject the treaty as
amended and hold that the Clayton
Bulwer treaty is in force. and that its
provisions stop the United States from
constructing a canal across the
isthmus.

NOW FINANCIAL LAW.

Washington. March 14.-At 12:46
o'clock this afternoon the President
affixed his signature to the financial
bill, th'is making 1t law of the land.
Oyerstreet of Indiana. who had charge
of the bill, arrived at the White House
about five minutes before that time
and was shown into the Cabinet room,
where he was Joined by the President,
who, after inquiring If the bill had
been compared with care, affixed his
signature to 1t. At the same time he
recalled to those who stood by the
fact that many Of the important finan-
cial bills which had been passed by
Congress had been approved on the
14th of the month. He spoke of the
Sherman act, the resumption act, and
now the bill which was before him. In
signing the bill the President used a
