Mrs. Millar's Reception.

One of the most delightful soci- etv events of the season, was the reception given at the home of Mrs. A. c. Mi1lar Wednesday after noon, March B, i'll honor of Mrs. Charles Millar, of Mexico. Mrs. ]. H. Reynolds assisted i'll receiv- ing. Mrs. A. C. Millar, Miss Nel- lie Randell and little Miss Ethel Millar served refreshments in the dining room, while Mrs. Millar, ST., presided at the coffee table.
 Many friends enjoyed the de lightful afternoon in the society oi these charming ladies. It was an especial treat to listen to the inter- esting experience of Mrs. Charles Millar who has lived for five years near the City of Mexico. She is a rarely gifted woman, whom 1t is a pleasure to know. She will leave ill few days for her home in the land of the Montezumas. The af- ternoon was one of unalloyed pleas ure, the memory of which will long be cherished by those present.

Of the crucihxion and
death OF the Redeemer. This is the
most impressive day of Passion Week.
Nearly two thousand years ago the
savior OF mankind died upon the
cross. For nearly two thousand years
has mankind remembered that tragic
death, and year after year century af-
tor century. joined in solemn worship,
commemorative OF 1t.
In olden times a rigorous fast was
observed on Good Friday, which prob
ably was the reason the Anglo-Saxons
designated the day as Long Friday"
From the strict abstinence from food
the custom has been moderated, though
devout church people deny themselves
all but which is absolutely necessary.
A long-estaIblished custom is that OF
eating hot cross buns on Good Friday.
In England a long time ago it was
considered an act on religious merit to
eat the bun marked with the cross.
The practice is not prevalent in this
country TO any extent.

same to this market. and therefore
the strength of the market with the
higher prices recorded can be attribu-
ted 10 healthier and much stronger
causes. A heavy decrease in the stock
Of cotton here accompanied by inquir-
les for shipping room confirms the
theory that large quantities of cotton
will be taken on contracts and shipped
to Europe. This, with the heavy port
shipments South indicates the begin
hing of a very active demand for spot
cotton. While the cotton goods condi-
tions have changed but little, there has
sprung up a very good trade West, and
the fact that jobbers are carrying prac-
tically no stocks makes it very prob
able that "a big demand from this
source is sooner or later inevitable.
The movement has been liberal, indi-
eating a continuance Of the DISPOSE
ton OF spot holders 10 sell their cotton
before commencing a new crop. How
ever. this pressure has been to a large
extent removed, as offerings have been
readily absorbed either by
export or domestic demand from spin
ners. All in all. the conditions infu-
encing values have undergone a change
for the better which has created a feel
ing OF utmost confidence in the bull
ranks and which offers every indica-
tion OF continued support and an ad-
vancing market. While. of course,
further gains in prices will be punctu-
ated with healthy reactions, but upon
which the purchase of cotton will be
an excellent investment. which will
soon show profitable returns in the
immediate future.

THE MARKETS

Letter on STOCKS, COTTON GRAIN, FRO
visions
New York, April 5.-The market this
week has generally been described as
wild lt would not be right to accept
this Characterization but it is true that
there have been some rapid upward
rushes in price which deserved such a
descriptive term, but the speculation
showed variety and enough reactionary
irregularity 20 indicate that it was not
a runaway" The market in a sense
must be held TO justify itself. 1t has
reached its present stage without dis
tmbing the money market and with
out overlooking commission houses with
accounts Of small calbre. This week
has been characterized by large reali-
cations OF profits. There has been a
shifting Of speculative ventures from
one stock or group Of stocks to an
other. and the course of prices at the
Stock Exchange demonstrates that a
great absorbing power must stil exist.
At the moment speculation appears to
be running largely toward the stocks
of railroads which have maintained for
many years a highly satisfactory divi-
dend paying record. The new steel
stock placed on the list are suffering
from comparative neglect. The men
who have put their capital, brains and
reputation into the new enterprise are
not favorable to ballO0ning methods.
The small reaction which has taken
place in these new steel stocks, how
ever, Is a reflection of the stability
underlying the situation. II Is highly
gratifying that the Wall street market
showed little constituencies to the en-
gagement OF further sums OF gold for
export. The money now going abroad
represents transactions profitable to
the United States, and they are wholly
.disassociated from the question CT cur
currency credit.
wave OF pent-up bull enthusiasm
attended the speculation in cotton dur
ing the past week, and swept all OBJ
s!ac-es before il in the creation of a
good advance in prices. Aside from
the strength, activity and advance. the
lcatuie has been the decentralization OF
ahe short contingent with the resu. .tant
hc1vy buying from this source espe-
eially OF May contracts. Remember
Ing January, the bears were no doubt
