Prices Were Considerably Better on
 the Stock Exchange.

London, March 3.-Prices on the Stock Exchange last week were, as a rule, bet ter, although business was quiet owing to the settlement and the high rate of money. African mining shares showed a distinct sackening and prices were alter natively rising and falling throughout the week. Though lower on the whole for the week, however they closed above the worst figures, a cheerful tone. char acterizing the end.

MANCHESTER MARKET.
Generally Speaking Conditions Were DulI-Cotton Imports Decreased.

Manchester, March 3.-Generally speak ing market conditions here last week were dull. The manufacturers uniform ly resisted all efforts to effect an appre- ciable reduction in prices. The merchants did not buy freely and the turnover was below the average.
 The steadiness in the cloth market dur ing the last few weeks has surprised the merchants. who had expected the manu- lecturers to become more pliabie in con sequence of the light demand for the prin- cipal eastern outlets.
 The imports of cotton since February 1 has decreased A,22o bales, as compared with the same period last year, but owing to the demand for mourning goods this season and the run in the lighter counts the weekly consumption of cotton has been almost 10 per cent below that of 1900
 The India demand has diminished in most descriptions and offers wired fre- quently meet with no response. Some or ders for China were entered last week, but buying has not been resumed with anything like steadiness Some business continues to be done with the Levant and other minor outlets, but South Amer ica Is adversely affected by financial dif- faculties,

BERLIN BoERsE.
Business In Coal and Iron Shares Was
 Rather Light.

Berlin, March 3.-Conditions on the Boerse last week were quiet, and trad ing, except In specialties, was light. How ever, the tone of the market was rather firm. American railroad securities at- tracted but little attention. Transvaal railway certificates are again quite ac- tive, but vaccilating. Transportation shares were quiet until yesterday, when the market became firm upon the es- tablishment of the line from Shanghai to Hong Kong by the Hamburg American Company
 Business in coal and iron shares was light but values were we'll sustained. Some coal shares made considerable ad- vances.
 Industrials were mostly higher. The tone of the Boerse in iron contrasts mark edly with the state of the iron trade, where the reports continue gloomy. The Lorain and Luxembourg pig iron syn dicate has voted to restrict output 9 per cent and the Sergerland also voted to re- strict output, because its furnaces are

Anderson County were confined negroes guiltless of any greater crime than re- fusing to comply with labor contracts, which demanded absolute slavery, These contracts could net have been held law full and the negroes though never taken before any magistrate were by physical force kept In bondage and made to work as felons
 The contracts signed by these ignorant negroes were negotiable paper. A land owner having a negro bound to him for S years work could sell such contract to q third party.
 The attention of the court was directed to this slavery by evidence in tho trial of A. T. Newell, a planter whose farms are worked by convicts. Newell was charged with murder, having shot VIII Hull negro. trying to escape from his stockade. It was shown that the negro had never been convicted of any crime before any magistrate or judge.

AMERICAN LEAGUE.
James J. Collins and Hugh Duffy Have
 Siqned Contracts.

Cleveland March 3-Vice-President C. w Somers of the American Base Ball League, has announced that James J. Collins and Hugh Duffey who played second base and centerfield respectively for the Boston National League Club last year, have signed contracts with the American League. Collins will manage the Boston American League Club, while Duffy goes to Milwaukee to manage the American League team in that city.
 Although this announcement was not entirely unexpected, 1t created sensa- tion in local base ball circles. MT. Som- CTS said:
 This Is only the beginning. Similar an- nouncements may be expected to follow shortly. We are not asking players to break any legal contract with the Nation al League people, but we hold that the option clause in the National League con- tract is not valid, and therefore practi- cally all players are free to sign Amer ican League contracts if they so de- sire.'
 MT. H. L. Taylor, attorney for the Players Protective Association, wired MT. Somers as follows today:
 'All barriers removed. National League players free to sign with any league"

In Enqland.


 I was impressed with the extreme sim plicity of the English bill of fare. The dinners usually consisted of a large joint of rare beef or mutton, few vegeta- bles and simple dessert.
 Nowhere have I seen such delicious mutton.
 Unlike the French, the Englander uses but few fancy dishes at his table. and seems indifferent to the many dainties his neighbar across the channel habit ually serves.
 Perhaps an exception would be made fof that queer fellowship of congenial souls, Dr. Johnson, and his contempora- ries, who met nightly at "Ye Olde Ches- hire Cheese" on Fleet street, which. by the way, Is preserved today in It's sim plicity and homliness as in days of old I went into this ancient hostelry and sat down on the old wooden benches and ordered lunch served on the same plain table and thought of the merry times that had passed here so many years ago. This Is the bill of fare and the lunch was really excellent. for which I paid two and six:

 The fruits In England are both large and of fine quality and are commonly used for desserts, and what do you think of all things is the most popular? The tart This is made by placing the fruit in an earthen baking dish, sprtnkling over sugar, and with a delicious crust on top is baked; then served with the fa- nous Devonshire cream 1t Is delightful. Here all pastry is made with beef suet instead of lard, and is considered more wholesome.
 Tea drinking is a national habit and the afternoon tea is served with as much regularity as Is the breakfast. The usual hour Is from 4 to o'clock. Plain tea, or tea and mullins, are served at all ub- lie tea rooms. and such a crowd of chat ting. gossipping humanity one sees only in England.
 These tea rooms are all over London and are the popular resorts at these hours. Every one goes to see and gos- sip.
 On Bond street I went into one rather more fashionable. called the Bungalow. which Is decorated most charmingly. Here you sit at small low tables and sip tea served by such pretty, rosy-cheeked English girls, with fancy aprons and jaunty caps, and all the time one hears such good music. which undoubtedly aids conversation much. This music drowns the noise and an hour can be idly spent so pleasingly and restful be- fore going home to dine.
