Greene and Gaynors Still in Quebec
Under Surveillance.

A dispatch from Quebec yesterday says:
Col. Gaynor made it clear to a reporter
today that neither he nor Capt Greene en-
tertained thought of returning to the
United States today. Col. Gaynor stated a
week ago that he might return to Savannah
voluntarily on the 18th and appear before
Judge Speer. Both men had a long con-
ference with their counsel today. after
which Col Gaynor intimated that they
have no intention of leaving Quebec until
forced to do so.
Two Americans who arrived at the
Chateau Frontenac are supposed to be Sc
cret service men from Washington. They
seldom leave the rotunda or Office of the
hotel. and when one temporarily leaves the
building his companion remains on duty.
In the United States district court in
Savannah yesterday the Greene and Gay
nor conspiracy case went over until the
May term Of court because Of the absence
in Quebec OF b. ID. Greene and John +.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May S.-Stocks recovered
from Yesterdays weakness to-day, al
though there was considerable uncer-
tainty manifest in the prevailing SEN
timent : more cheerful feeling over
the anthracite outlook is responsible
for considerable rebuying by short
sellers of yesterday who professed con-
tidence last night that a strike could
not be avoided. The hesitation which
developed in the market was due to
considerable extent to the action TAX
en- by the mine workers convention
which presents an entirely new phase
to the situation The active coalers
reflected no misgiving after the an
nouncement of the miners offer to ar
bitrate, but they fell into compare
tive dizziness. The high priced coal
ers offered the anomaly of early weak
ness while the Readings were advanc-
ing and a strong recovery after the
demand for the Readings had largely
died out. The whole market fell into
dullness in the latter part of the day
while waiting for the announcement
of the reply of the anthracite opera
tors to the offer of the miners. The
result is that the days transactions
are not much over half those of yes
terday.
Outside the Readings the principal
activity was in st. Paul, Union Pacific,
the local fractions and Southern Rail
way. Union Pacific and st.
Paul were bought heavily for
Western account the attrac-
ton being attributed to crop con-
dIt.ons. The referees decision uphold
ing the constitutiorrality of the New
York franchise tax law induced some
active liquidation of the stocks of
New York public utilities, but they
were Well supported and rallied

ports of al apparent contest between

Illinois Central became strong, in con-
trast to it's weakness yesterday, while
the other stocks were advancing.
There were evidences of strength
among various minor stocks which are
supposed TO be the subject of manip-
ulation by speculative pools. although
various rumors continued to circulate
of their prospective absorption or
merging. Tennessee Coal and Colorado
were under pressure. The last nam

night. International Power fell 9
points below the last sale price, but
fully recovered. There was a sale OF

New York, May S.-The cotton mar
ket opened easy, to 10 points lower,
following a weak lead by Liverpool,
where heavy liquidation was in pro-
gress. Following the call the market
worked higher again, July advancing
to 9.29c and August to 9.04c. But later
in the day the whole list broke badly
under generous selling for both ac-
counts, led by brokers believed to be
acting for Southern orders. The fact
that New Orleans settled % points on
the July position did much to give col
or to the reports that bull traders
there were trying to liquidate. A
prominent room broker was a large
buyer of August at $500, believed to
be for the account of a former Wall
street bull dealer. So far as statistics
were concerned, the bulls had the bet
ter position, for port receipts the ex-
port movement, and interior town
stocks lost heavily again. Reports
from the interior told of exhaustion
and the revised Sin sight figures were
considerably under the actual 'in
sight" of year ago. The market
closed steady, 4 to IS points lower.
Southern spot markets were given as
generally unchanged. and advices from
cotton goods markets failed to note
any change in prices. Total sales for
the day were estimated at 100000 bales.

from the top on old crop options and
to 8 on new. After the eliminating
of stop orders values steadied slight
ly making the net loss 16 to 20 points
on summer positions nd to on new.
From present indications the amount
to be brought into sight during the
week points to about IS, 900 as compared
to $4,000 last year and $4,000 year be-
fore last The visible supply statement
is expected to be bullish, still from
the character of reports received from
Lancaster and the continent it is an
ticipated that spinners from now out
will curtail consumption of American
considerably, owing to the high price
of the raw article, which precludes
their entering into new engagements.
1t is claimed there is no party be-
tween the prices goods are being dis
posed of won, even with raw cotton
bought fully a cent under existing
rates. Favorable reports are being re-
ceiVed relative to the next crop, but
they generally are at this time end
of the year Nevertheless, there are
many vicssitudes which the crop must
undergo before maturity, therefore, if
it meets with any serious set back
the new crop months will advance
sharply. While we advise against
operating on either side on the old
crop months we think the heavy dis
counts on the new are an inducement
to make purchases on weak periods
As there is only a minimum amount of
risk attached to these transactions.

THE RICE MARKET.

Advices from the South note a steady
and charging demand at nearly all
points. Once more the forward supply
is under consideration; estimates vary
somewhat-all, however, are practical
ly agreed as to the amount distributed
during the past month and progress
made is such as to assure the going
out of crop within the prescribed Pc
riod. Concerning the new crop. advices
from all sections indicate that condi-
tions are generally favorable. In some
parts of the Southwest there has been
a scanty supply of moisture; still, TAX
ing the average, the crop is starting
under as good auspices as any other
crop for the past ten years. Louisiana
reports only a slight increase of acre
age, but in Texas there is a phenome-
nal increase and under any reasonably
favoring conditions, the outcome of the
Southwest will be fully so per cent
ahead of the present year, and furnish
a supply equal to present requirements
of the United States, and its adjoining
colonial possessions.
Gables and correspondence from
abroad note increased interest in cargo
rice. being a reflection of a more active
inquiry for clean rice, or spit for i'm
mediate delivery; price steady.
