New York. May 3.-Mr. Moore. of the
firm of Offenbach & Moore. which ask
ed yesterday to tax up certain coIiater-
al on which loans had been made said
today:
1--WE have made arrangements which
are practically satisfactory to all ex-
change firms. and as no deliveries are
made today we xpect to be able 10
make arrangements by Monday which
will be equally satisfactory to the curb
brokers. Our trouble arose chiefly
through the stringency in the money
market and were in connection with the
taking UP of stock being delivered to us.
I can not put an estimate on the amount
of one of which We found ourselves
short yesterday. or VIA we are at pres
ent in need of, n L prefer not to say
anything concerning the sources from
which we expect to get help"
President Keppler Of the stock ex-
change. said there was nothing new IN
the matter this morning and that
hoped all the difficulties OF the firm
would be satisfactorily arranged.
The market for securities on the stock
exchange and on the curb" opened
heavy and weak today. Confidence was
restored in a measure, however, by the
absence Of any failure or other news OF
an alarming character and the general
market rallied considerably before the
end of the first hour.
The statement that the 1urries In
what were known as Webh-Meyer Sc
curities was precipitated by h refusal
of the Hanover National bank to grant
a loan to DR.. Webb was denied oy
President Woodward, OF that bank %
day. who said the bank had never had
any financial relations with DR.. Webb.
Mr.. Woodward said he did not know DIR.
Webb. When asked about the affairs Of
Offenbach & Moore, the Hanover bank
officials said they could make no state
ment at this time.
Transactions in the Webb and Meyer
on the curb were extremely
light. Two hundred shares of Domin-
ion securities changed hands al 20. a
decline of As points. The closing Did
was 40 with IS asked. One hundred
shares of Hackensack Meadows sold AZ
As. q decline of 34k. The bid price At
the close was % and 40 asked. There
were no sales OF North American Lum-
Der and Pulp. Ten was bid. 80 asked
Storage power advanced half a point 10
6. 100 shares being traded In. At the
close 81 was bid sh asked.
On the stock exchange 5000 shares Of.
Rutland railroad preferred sold at 1n3
TO 90. closing at par, a net loss of z
points. No sale of st. Lawrence and
Adirondack was reported.

COTTON

New York. May 3.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at a decline Of 2 to II
points. in response to surprisingly weak
Liverpool cables and favorable crop
news. The first wave of selling forced
May to 9.23. July to $50 and August to
9.05.
Then came a rally of 5 points on profit
taking by room shorts to 9.25 for July,
but substantial new buying did not ap-
pear n for the rest of the early session
the market was very feverish and ir-
regular. Large port receipts and ru-
mors that continued short time was
likely at Lancashire mills had a de-
pressing effect.
Liverpool was due to come about un-
changed, but broke 3 to4 points on near
months n 1 to 2 points on late months.
Spot cotton was quiet and down Lied
to 5 3-16d for American middling. Lii
quotation and urgent bear pressure
were given as the cause for the weak
ness in the English market.

One of n events always anticipated
with great interest and pleasure is the
annual pilgrimage of b North Carroll
nat Society Of Colonial Danes to the
historic ruins of old Saint Philips
church at Old Brunswick, on the Cape
Fear. Only the walls of this once fine
old colonial edifice remain but many
sacret memories hang around it. The
Colonial Danes three years ago inau-
gurated its annua pilgrimages TO this
relic Of the early settlers of the Cape
Fear, n they always carry down large
crowds to enjoy the interesting histori-
cal exercises incident to the occasion.
Many people usually come from a dis
n to accompany the DANES to the
spot where once stood the town of
Brunswick. the land for which was
decided in 1725 by Colonel Maurice
Moore.
The pilgrimage mex Tuesday is TO be
of more than usual interest from the
fact that a memorial is to be unveiled
to the mn of Colonel Maurice
Moore. who was practically the founder
Of the town. The memorial arrived
last night and will probably be taken
down today on the steamer Whining
ton. 1t was purchased with a donation
Of $500 made by Mrs. Salina NJ. Harvey
and Miss Ida Hoore, descendants of
Colonel Moore, and will be unveiled by
little Miss Florence Kidder daughter
of Mrs. George w. Kidder, who was the
first president of the North Carolina
Colonial DANES, and is also one of his
lineal descendants. The Hon H. q.
Conner. of Wilson, will deliver the ad-
dress and a will desire to go down
to hear that distinguished gentleman.
The exercises will also be participated
in by the Rev. DR.. Bratton, of st.
Mary's Raleigh. the Rev. F. II. t. Hors-
field rector of st. James, and the Rev
DR.. Carmichael. rector of st. Johns.
The steamer Wilmington will leave
her wharf Tuesday morning at 9:45
o'clock to take down the party. Tickets
for the trip will be sold at so cents. In
vitations have not been sent out gen.
orally. as all who are interested and
who desire to picnic at the site of the
old town are invited to 60.

sHAD FOR THE CAPE FEAR.
The United States Fish Commission
VIII Send n Million Fry Here this
Evening-They Will be Turned
Loose in the Six Runs in Samp-
Everywhere.

Mr.. w. H. Yopp, the we'll known fish
dealre of this city, received yesterday
the following telegram from Mr.. Will
hanson, representing the United States
fish commission:
will arrive with white shad at 6
o'clock tomorrow evening. Meet me
with a wagon"
Messrs. Yopp n FaIes & Nixon
have been making efforts sometime to
have the Cape Fear restocked with
white shad and through the good Offices
of Congressman o d. Bellamy the
fish commission will send 1000, goo frey
here from the Edenton, N. c., hatcher
les. They will be turned loose n the Six
Runs, in Sampson county, which are
tributaries of the Cape Fear The high
er up the stream h fish are placed the
better for Wilmington.
Mr.. Yopp tells us that this has been
the poorest shad season he has ever
known. This is not only true of the
conditions in the Cape e but COM
plants of the shortage come from north
and south. In the Cape Fear the catch
should have been not less Than $4,000
shad this season but it has been barely
80, 600.
The million fry to be placed in the
streams today Will reinspire our fisher
men with hope, as they look upon the
industry as being near at an end. The
tiny fish hat are to be turned loose to-
day will be full grown in three years.

In view % the tact tina the Whining
ton Seacoast Railroad is TO be mace
an electric line the owners of property
at wrightsville Lave consented to have
their lots laid Off and put on the mar
ket at REASONABLE prices.
Captain Walter G.. MacRae, civil en-
gineer, with assistants, has begun to
survey the lots and lay off streets and
will make a plat of the town. This l.
one of the plans Of the consolidated
Railways, Light and Power Company.
proprietors of the railroad, to develop
the delightful seaside resorts Of
Wrightsville, Summer Rest, Greenvlile.
Masonboro n Wrightsville Beach. all
of which will be reached by the trolley
line.
The idea of putting the lots on the
market at nominal prices is to induce
people TO buy lots for summer homes
or permanent residences.
1t is a matter of qualification that tho
railroad is in he hands of an enter.
prising and strong company, n that
it is their inteltion to leave no stone
unturned to develop our seaside as well
as it's own valuable properties
A gentleman who is in a position to
know, remarked yesterday that the
company has not acquired possession
of the Wilmington Seacoast Railroad,
the street railway and the electric ano
gas lighting plants OF the Wilmington
GaSlight Company to let them stand
still. The ave plans on foot for the
development of all these properties on a
scale that will be to the immense adj
vantage of Wilmington.
We learn that one of the strokes OF
enterprise in contemplation is to build
four or five more miles of the trolley
line, taking in Oakdale. Bellevue and
Pine Forest cemeteries. the National
Cemetery and The Delgado Mills. 1t is
quite likely thaI mex fall will see work
in progress On the extension.
The Consolidat ted Railways. Light and
Power Company should have the ear
nest encouragement and cooperation
of the people o. Wilmington, for we
know of no factor that will contribute
more to the development of our city
tina it's three combined enterprises.

Mr.. W. 7. Williamson, OF the Eden
ton hatchery OF the United States fish
commission, arrived here last evening
with a million young shad which were
sent here through the efforts Of Con-
gerssman Bethany to be placed in the
Cape Fear.
The train got here st 6:35 p. M, and
at 1880 p. m, the fish " ere placed in the
river at Hilton bridge. Before they
were turned loose, L. vas ascertained
that h temperature of the water was
IS degrees, which made the conditions
exceedingly favorable. The shad were
five days old but experience has shown
that they can TAX care Of themselves
or else some fate docs.
Mr.. Williamson says Hilton was not
only a splendid place at which to plant
h shad but would make a beautiful
site for hatchery. He was also pleased
at the interest taken in the matter by
our fishermen and appreciated the valu-
able assistance given him by Messrs.
w. II. Yopp, E. II. Freeman, Ed. Tay-
lor. J. NJ. Holmes, j. a Nixon and j. B.
Fales. He says the attention he re-
ceived here is usually not met with.
On Tuesday, Mr.. Williamson placed a
million little Shad in Black river, Samp-
son county. This Is u tributary Of the
Cape Fear, so that we will get the bene-
fit of distribution of two million shad.
The fish men here are all rtjoiced and
greatly appreciate Congressman Bella
my's efforts in this connection
