STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York jan 23.-The market demon
strated quite conclusively its professional
character today. 1t was distinctively
traders market. The trading was done
by powerful spectators with ample re-
sources, the transactions were on very
large scale, and the price movement was
much wider than in an ordinary room
traders market, but the method of OPP
erations and the net results were much
the same. SCRUTINY of the net changes
for the day will show that except in few
stocks they are small and pretty well
mixed between gains and losses. Yet at
che time the whole list was at level
we'll over yesterdays final prices. The
realizing movement in the last hour was
sufficient to wipe out almost all of the
earlier advances, and only the final slight
rally saved the list from a larger show
ing of net losses than is actually the
case Buying by room shorts to cover was
largely responsible for the final rally.
The concentrated nature of the buying
and the identity of the brokers by whom
1t was done, especially in the stocks
which were picked out for the greater
show of strength were warrant for the
conviction that the speculative leader
shin was in the hands CT the coterie which
made a demonstrative change from the
bear to the bull side of the market during
the course oil Mondays trading. The sell
ing during the last hour was also OF
very concentrated character but was by
different brokers from those who executed
the early buying orders. The deduction
dat large speculative profit taking was
being made is not a strained one. The
consistent weakness of Missouri Pacific,
which fell at one time eight and half
points below yesterdays high level LETT
little room for credence in the rumors OF
a big Southwestern railroad consolida-
tiGn and gave color to the report that
large short interest in the stock had set
tied by private agreement. There was a
distinct shifting of speculative interest
from the railroads to the Industrials, and
it was the evidences of realizing in the
railroad list under cover of the new
strength in the Industrials that caused
the break in the market. Such early
gains as 27s in st. Paul 90 in Brooklyn
2B in Baltimore and Ohio, 29s in Peoples
Gas and others nearly as substantial,
were completely wiped out in the late re-
action The decline from the highest

COTTON
New York. Jan 23.-The timidity of the
local cotton trade was increased today by
the. absence of news of business from
England. Pit operators were extremely
cautious from the very opening and re-
peatedly hastY retreats were made when
occasion offered. On the opening feeling
was steady With prices unchanged to two
points higher. The stabii t. was of short
duration. however and liquidation soon set
in under reports that 5000 bales OF Janu-
airy notices were being freely circulated
and under heavier port receipts. Cons1d-
cradle weakness developed before suffl-
cient support was drawn in by the de-
cline to arrest the downward tendency.
But toward midday partial rally occur
red on covering and some buying for
reaction based on the news that Southern
spot markets were stiffening on good. ex-
port demand Soon after midday prices
advanced TO a level several points above
the close of yesterday on momentary
scare of shorts. due TO assurances that
every bale of January cotton for which
notices had been Tut out in the morning
had heen readily taken I'D by several of
the strongest houses in the trade. The
fear that Liverpool might open up higher
in the morning also prompted covering.
There was sharp bulge in the last half
hour on urgent demand from leading
local export house with Philadelphia and
Boston connections. At the close the
market was steady with prices net two to
nine points higher.

Increasing Chinese Indemnity.

Washington, June ga curious
discrepancy concerning the amount
of the Chinese indemnity has been
discovered, by which it appears that
China has agreed to pay about IS, 600, :
600 teals or sM, 500, 600 more than the
United States demands Of all the pow
ers. This appears to have been an
error Of calculation at Pekin. The
question now arises what will become
Of the excess of s., O000, 100 teals. An
other question is as to the amount Of
bonds which shall be issued to Japan,
as that country has called attention
to the fact that its share Of indemnity
cannot be negotiated on as favorable
terms as some Of the. powers can
make. It is understood that the mat
ter has been considered of sufficient
importance to bring to the attention
of the president with a view to learn
ing the general attitude Of this govern
ment on the matter.

NEGRO KILLS TWO MEN.

Panther, ". Va, June 28.-Pete1
Price, negro, cornered in a house
by determined band Of infuriated
citizens bent on melting summary JUS
tice to him for insulting lady, in his
desperate efforts to escape cut and
killed George Hooks and 7. M. Nc
Gran and seriously cut Charles Davis.
The murder occurred at lager, small
town five miles south of here. Price,
on seeing his pursuers, took refuge in
small room in the rear Of saloon.
The mob battered down the door, and
as they entered the room Price threw
himself at them with the ferocity Of a
tiger, with knife in each hand.
Hooks and McGran fell to the floor.
Two revolvers in the crwod were dis
charged at Price, inhicting slight
wounds. With one desperate swing OF
his knife he laid open Davis's abdo-
men and then leaped from the window.
He was pursued and captured by Off
GERS, who hurriedIy sent him to the
Jail at Welch to avoid the infuriated
populace. Hooks and McGran were
both citizens and indignation runs
high.

Would Prohit Passes for Editors.

Montgomery, Ala, June 28.-Dele.
gate Reynolds of Chiffon introduced
a resolution in the constitutional con-
vention this morning providing that
no newspaper in this State OF repre-
sentative thereof shall receive OF ac-
cept a pass OF other free transportation
from any railroad company doing busi-
ness within the State: that news
paper. in the event that it or its re-
presentatives receive oraccept and uses
transportation or free passes, shall be
fined not less than 5000 for each vlo-
lation Of this section and that said
railroad company who through its
agent issues such person transporta-
tion shall be fined like amount for
each violation thereof.
He based his ordinance on the
ground that the newspapers we're re-
cognized as great instruments for pub
lie good and that ifsthey accept passes
they WOULD feel under obligations to
the railroads.

Origin Of Masonry.

A Virginia boy was asked to write
an essay on Masonry, and here is what
he wrote:
King Solomon was man who
lived so many years in the country
that he was the whole push. He
was an awfully wise man, and one
day two women came to him, each
holding to the leg Of a baby, nearly
pulling it in two, claiming it. And
King Solomon was feeling good, and
he said: Why couldn't the brat have
been born twins and stop this bother?'
And then he called forhis machete
and was going to Weylerize the poor
innocent little baby, and give each
woman piece of it, when the real
mother of the baby said Stop, Solo
mon, stay thy hand. Let the old bag
have it. If [ can't have a whole baby
II won't have any. Then Solomon
told her to take the baby and go home
and wash It's face for he knew it was
hers. He told the other woman to
chase herself. King Solomon built
Solomon's Temple, and was the father
Of Masons. He had seven hundred
wives and three hundred lady friends,
and that's why there are so many
Masons in the world. Ny papa says
King Solomon was q warm member,
and ] think he was hot stuff myself.
That is allsI-know about King Solo
mon ,,
