STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 7-Liquidation of the
same character as that which has been
manifest for some time proceeded today
Some ragged breaks in the price level
of the market resulted, but heavy and con-
cCntrated buying was in evidence all day.
AS consequence the decline was checked
and the latter part of the day was given
over to broad and comprehensive COW
ering movement which lifted prices
throughout the list, losses in the railroad
list being quite generally recovered, and
largely reduced even in the weakest OF
the industrials. When the market opened
a feeling of encouragement was general,
especially because last weeks liquidation
had proved Intellectual to recuperate the
condition of the banks, by reason Of
the extension of new credits. The compile
ton of the season of the interior move
ment of currency was still to be met
therefore, and the only clear source from
which to supply this requirement was by
further liquidation in the stock market
Foreign exchange continued to advance,
precluding the hope of relief from that
quarter. Large selling of stocks for Lon
don account sustained the exchange mar
ket. Renewed decentralization in foreign
Paris were the occasion of this foreign
selling and the prompt decline in Amalga-
ted Copper here gave promise of con-
tinuance of that disturbing influence.
Pressure from the lenders of money was
undoubtedly at the root of the stock mar
ket depression, but vulnerable points in
the Industrial market bore the brunt of
this pressure rather than the railroad
list in general and the rates for call
loans were not disturbed There was
a growing spirit of skepticism as to the
product Of dividends On the industrial
common stocks where the organizations
were dependent for success on continued
or even increased prosperity. This senti-
ment toward recent financial projects
was extended to the railroad world by
reason Of the annual showing OF the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy, which was
published on Saturday, and which showed
balance of earnings after charges in
sufficient to pay the interest on the newly
issued bonds for which the stock is col
lateral. ST. Paul. which sold ex-divi-
dend of per cent was subjected to saw
age attack, and was forced down IN
Missouri Pacific lost as much and some
of the cotton and corn carrying railroads
were quite weak. The selling of Brook
lyn Transit, which carried it down AS
was apparently based on the general con-
dtion of poor earnings and an unduly
high price. Sugar was weak at the ex-
IRENE decline of 8 lis on dread of the
effect of the war against beet sugar. At

For Tcday's Receipts.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. There has been a
quieter demand today in all depart
ments but good business is looked for
later in the week. Brown cottons are
very firm, some exporters paying slight
advance. Bleached cottons are firm but
quiet. Coarse colored goods are scarce
and firm. Prints very firm; print
cloths quiet but strong.
COTTON.
New York, Oct. THE cotton market
was quiet and firm with prices 5 to s
points higher on fair covering and
bull support, supplemented by brisk
foreign demand, the latter said to be
hedged against shortage in the English
market. There was further improve
ment Immediately following the CALL
January reaching 500 on general support.
But for the rest of the forenoon session
the course of prices was downward I'M
der sales for profit by room traders and
the quiet withdrawal of outside buying
orders. based on generally good wealth
er reports, increasing receipts and lack
of public support. The initial advance
was based on strong Liverpool cables,
poor crop reports and reports that the
talked of strike in the New England
cotton mills had been postponed for two
weeks. The absence of killing frosts in
the belt did much to check the enthu-
siasm Of bulls. Early in the afternoon
the market became heavy under gener-
Gus offerings from the Southwest, said
to represent hedges against large pur-
chases of spot cotton by Philadelphia
export interests. This pressure led
room longs to sell out and prompted
leading bears to attack the late months
for break of 7.90 for January. Liberal
estimates for tomorrow's receipts and a
favorable weather forecast added to the
depression. The decline did not receive
check until October reached 7.7S,
around which figure buying for a reac-
tion became an influence. The close
was barely steady with prices net to 6
points lower.

A PANIC FEARED.
Treasury Oficals Troubled About the Fran
tic Speculation In Wall Street and the
q. Mania for Organizing Trusts,

Washington, April 1s.-Treasury Of
fcials are concerned about the result
OF the over-speculation in Wall street.
Thkre has been, these officials say, a
perfect mania for the organization of
trusts, and the securities of these
mammoth corporations have been
dealt in with feverish activity on the
stock exchange. The financial officers
of the government say there has been
large over-capitalization in many of
the industrial enterprises, and a day
of reckoning is certain when an eff
fort is made to squeeze the water out
of these securities. The thing which
is troubling the treasury officials is
not the fact that there has been fran
tic speculation in Wall street, but
rather the fact that money which be-
longs to legitimate commercial enter
prises has been diverted into the ave-
nues of speculation. This money must
get back into the ordinary channels
somehow, and great fear is ex-
pressed by the treasury people that a
possible panic on Wall street may
have serious effect upon general
business.

Several In the Penltentiary at Santa Fs
Attempt to Escape and Lively Time
Is Experienced.

Denver, Col, April 1S.-A special to
the News from Santa Fe, N. NJ, says:
An attempt of three convicts at the
penitentiary to erect their escape
yesterday resulted in the killing Of
Convict George Stephenson, the NOR
tai wounding Of Convict Simmons,
the serious wounding Of Convict Jose
Monica Sena, Capt. of the Guard
Felipe Armijo and Guard Pedro San
doval. George Stephenson, convicted
OF murder, had in some manner armed
himself with a revolver. William Sim
mons, sentenced for cattle stealing,
and Frank Carper, also sentenced for
cattle theft, were in the conspiracy
to break out. They were armed with
iron bars. Stephenson attacked the
guard, which was in the dining room,
unarmed. He shot Pedro Sandova!.
Capt. Armijo ran for shotgun and,
returning, exchanged shots with
Stephenson, each being wounded.
Superintendent H. O. Bursum came
upon the scene with a Winchester
rife and sent two bullets through
Stephenson's heart. A moment later
Armijo, though seriously wounded,
shot Simmons, fatally wounding him.
Carper weakened when he saw his
partners down and surrendered.
Neither of the wounded guards will
die.

The NEGRO PROBLEM.
The American Social Science Association
Discusses II and Pleads for Higher
Education of the COlored Race.

|
Washington, April 19.-The negro
problem was, discussed at yesterdays
session of the American Social Science
association. Prof. Kelly Miller, Of
Howard university, this city, pleaded
for the higher education for the me-
gro. lie denied that viciousness in
creases with education and said that
the negro graduates of schools are
law-abiding and exercise wholesome
influence on the masses. The only
way to make them better citizens,
he said, is to equip them with better
ideas through education. The "Jim
Crow car" and disfranchisement meas
ures in the south, he argued, simply
defer the solution of the negro prob
lem instead of unweaving the tangle.
George X. Stetson, of this city,
pointed out that racial antagonism
is natural instinct and universal
law. Inc antagonlsm between the
mulatto and the negro, he continued,
was much greater than that between
the white and the negro. The me-
gro, he thought, should be the means
of elevating the race. He favored
