anecdote to illustrate his position which
occasioned much laughter.
PARKS FOR CONVENTION.
Capt. r. S. Parks, who always attracts
the>closest attention when he addresses the
caucus or the House, made a powerful
argument in behalf of a convention. He
riducled the idea that the ofiice-holders
would oppose the convention He said
4 if there were such office-holders in Vir-
ginia, the quicker they were turned out
the better it would be for the good OF
the people Of the Commonwealth.
Senator Bruce advocated the convention
and said the Democrats of his section and
many Republicans favored it.
Mr.. John Whitehead said there was no
crying demand in Norfolk for a conven-
tioE, BUT some of the most thoughtful
people in that city advocated a change
in the Constitution. For himself. he
did not care whether the change was
made by convention or by a commission,
as suggested by Mr.. Pollock. He was
inclined TO favor the later plan.
Colonel George Wayne Anderson spoke
in behalf OF a convention. At the close
of his remarks the pending question was
called. The resolution offered by Sena-
tor Gupton, declaring it the sense OF
the conference that a constitutional con-
vention be held was adopted.
s On motion of Mr.. McAflister. 1t was de-
cided to meet next Thursday night to
fix the date for the. people to vote upon
the convention proposition.

of That Metal.
The counterfeitars the penltentlary
have not as yet been located by the
authorities of that institution. The circu-
laion of the coins has been discovered to
lie more extensive than was at first sup
posed, and many of the spurious COINS
have been found in the cells and on the
persons of the inmates.
The metal that is used in the making
of the nickels is babbitt, which is used
on many of the machines in the shoe
shops This metal melts at a low temper
ature, and when cooled has very much
the appearance and qualities Of nickel,
and would easily pass fer that metal.
The authorities decline to discuss the
matter and every effort is being made to
locate the makers.

WEAKNESS SHOWN IN STOCK MARKET Effect of the Previous Days Ad-
 vance Felt. T. c. & l. STOCK DECLINED
 . Third Avenue Fell Full Point Within the Last Hour American Hoop
 Lead With Loss of
 Four Points =.
T. c. & l. STOCK DECLINED

New York, March 1.-The stock mar ket reflected from the outset today the reduction of the unwieldy short interest by the large covering which took place yesterday, and which caused so lively rally at the weak points of the market. Practically all these stocks showed renew ed weakness today, Third Avenue con- spicuously so. This stock fell in the last hour to new low level a full point below yesterdays lowest, and rallied but feebly, closing with a net loss of 'S1s.
 Rumors were circulated of a very heavy assessment to be levied on the stock to effect the reorganization. The other local traction stock relapsed weakly in sym pathy, declines ranging in the groups from 2 in Manhattan to GA in Metropolitan The shorts in Sugar were much less eager to oover and-that stock also fell back, falling an extreme 4a4 and closing with net loss of 3h. Very marked weakness in the metal stocks was an added factor towaTde reac- tion, American hoop leading the decline with a loss for the common stock or "A and for the preferred 4 points. Colorado Fuel, the Federal Steel stocks, Tin Plate, Steel and Wire National Steel and Ten- nessee 4Ceai lost from 1A to 3lz to the best prices the last manned having shown con- siderable strength in the early dealings.
 The decision of railroad presidents to give official sanction to the notorious cutting or grain rates from Chicago had some ln- fluence on the railroad list. London was a liberal buyer of stocks during the day on the strength of the relief of Ladysmith, and took fully 30000 shares. Sterling ex- change rate yielded IS on this account, ana on continued export demand for cotton The sub-treasury absorption of cash since F,rfday reached nearly $7,0o0,0OO today. In spite of the March disbursements, botn TOT corporation and government account, Ut IS realized that this must have marked effect on the showing of the banks in the coming weekly statement. No effect was manifest, however, on Che oaS iSs market.
 The bond market was active and prices were well maintained. Total sales' par value $2545,O0O. . X in the bid price.

 The news of the relief of Dadysm1th caused a scene of unprecedented excite ment in the city today, particularly on the stock exchange A mob, thousands of per- sons, surrounded the mansion house, cheer ing and waving flags and stopping traffic. Business in the house was superseded by champagne drinking and general g3orifica tion. The oldest members of the exchange say they never saw anything like it. Patri- otic songs were heard everywhere instead Of stock quotations and dealings were in fiitely small. Provincial centers were simi- 1arly engaged, and the wires usually de- voted to business were blocked by mes- sages of congratulation. The markets opened nenanally strong. but the tone finally hardened. In short, the public was too much pre-occupied-t speak. Ameri- cans were the hveMest. The market for them opened strong ou free general buy ing. New York supplied stock. but Lon don absorbed 1t cheerfuMy, closing almost at the top.
