Notice to x-Coufederate Veterans.

The following letter to Col. II. T.. Fol-
bre is self-explanatory:
Memphis, April "a, 1901.
Col. T. L. / olbre, Forrest City, Ark
Dear Sir: Referring to your converse
ton this morning, in regard to taking
care of the Veterans during the coming
Reunion, l beg to say, this committee has
all along been anxious to do everything
possible to entertain every Confederate
Veteran, who for any reason is unable to
pay his way. They have finally decided
to do so, with the only condition that he
be a bona tide Confederate Veteran, in
good standing with his company or the
community III which he lives, and is re-
ally unable to pay his way. We take ii
for granted that any worthy Veteran can
be properly identified as above, and when
done. our quartermasters and commssary
departments will supply his needs. We
simply want to guard against imposition.
and will do all we can. to avoid unneces.
sary hardships aud delay.
Yours Truly,
X. A. PARKER, Sec.

ruled lower to-day on predictions Of
more favorable weather. Wheat closed
Nc. corn ysc and oats isc depressed for
September delivery. Provisions at the
close were ioa25e lower. An active de-
mand for wheat at the opening was
caused by bullish statistics and q sharp
advance at Minneapolis. presumably re-
fiecting u~nfavorable climatic conditions.
The starting prices. CSC to 6s@c for

however. for Minneapolis lost It's initial

apolis and Duluth reported Ala cars,
against 1853 las. week and 2s7 q year
ago.
Corn was purchased freely at the
start, September opening from Bic to
SIC. This was due to the belief in the
direful effects of the hot spell and the
strength was straishtway d~lseipated by
reports of modersting tempers, scat
tered showers and promising clouds
over parts OF the corn belt. September,
under active selling. declined to 49hc,
and closed weak &c lower at 49&c.
Reports that the secretary OF agricul-
ture believed reports of damage to have
been exaggerated were influential. Re-
ceipts $50 cars
There was a heavy trade in oats, and
while that market exhibited evidences
of sympathy with corn. prices held bet
ter than In the corn pit, owing to a
good country demand. Selling was
mostly for the local account. Septem-
Dor ranged between SIC and 5000

Provisions opened weak on the steel
strike and because of a heavy run OF

NEW YORK, July 15.-Steels broke

91%. Thereafter there were large Of
ferings i both classes, the blocks rang
ing from 1000 shares down. but the
stock was very we'll supported, and was
freely taken, being esteemed a buy by
many people at the prices. The total
transactions IN common and preferred
were 229 600 shares, or one-fourth the
total sales of the day.
The afternoon market was charac-
terized by firmness. largely the result OF
reassuring news from the Western
grain country. and the belief that liqui-
dation is about oyer. After the break
the market may become more respon-
sive to any favorable crop news, owing
to the large decline of the past week,
but stocks are a sale on rallies tina:

Lie, the lowest since 1875, when 8 per
cents. were quoted at 91A. The tap
was turned OF In the afternoon with
the result that there was a recovery to
91A. Another depressing influence
was the action Of the Brighton railway
in declaring q dividend Of az as against
az. This is the hrst of the British
railways to take such a stand. and is
regarded as a criterion Of what may
follow with other companies.
The stock market was very sick.
American shares were demoralized and
spasmodic. They opened nat and grew
worse until New York opened equally
disheartened. In the end there was a
rally of Q points in the case of Union
Pacific, Atchison and other leaders.
There is some diflculty In carrying. the
