Stock Market las Lac ActIve Week.

NEW YORK, July 19.-The stock mar
ket has awakened to a marked degree Of
speculative activity and has reflected the
aggressive operations of large and con-
centrated capital The constant irregu-
larity and the frequent shifting of activ-
ity from one quarter to another are in
dications Of the speculative character Of
the operations and the desire to realize
profits on a turn, rather than to hold for
investment. The favorable crop prospects,
the determination of the coal miners not
to make the strike general and the contin-
ued activity of trade in all departments
are the basis of the movement. Money
conditions have also been easier. AL
though the fall outlook for money is by
no means clear.

REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE
WILL NOT MEET THIS YEAR

w. A. PIedger. chairman of the Repub-
lican central committee of Georgia, re-
turned Friday from ST. Paul. Minnesota,
where he has been attending the National
Africo-Am american council OF which he Is
the first vice president.
He said this morning in reply to an In
Quiy that he would not call meeting OF
the central committee this year unless re-
Quested to do so by a majoity OF its mem
bers. This sets at rest all rumors that
the Republicans OF the state were contem-
plating putting out a ticket this year.
The ticket that has been nominated
by our Democratic friends" said Pledger
this morning. lis generally accepted as a
good one by all citizens. They are our
friends and have stood against the dis
reimbursement OF the negro. AS the ne
groes compose nine-tenths OF the 1epub-
lican party IN the state this means some
thing 20 us.
The party has no desire to stir strife
politically and unless d majority OF the
state central committee shall request me
as chairman 70 call a meeting OF the body
I shall not call II during the year"

FOR HIS PRISONER

JACKSON, Ga, July 1s-Policeman ].
G. Thompson, of this city landed in jail
here this week negro named George
Miner, who fills infinitely the description
OF the negro wanted at Lafayette, Ga,
charged with criminal assault there, the
crime having been committed on July I, OF
which a reward of 5000 is offered, $500 by
the state and $500 by the county officials.
The county officials want Thompson to
divide their reward among them, but to
this proposition Thompson refuses and
he will deliver the negro over to Governor
Gambler instead. The negro has relatives
here and was visiting his sister here when
captured by Thompson. This negro was
at Lafayette and Thompson feels sure
he has caught the right negro and will
hold Miner awaiting instructions from
Governor Gambler.

reports on the cotton crop conditions
from various journals such as the Chron-
icle and others. Bradstreet's reports were
as a rule good excepting in the Birming-
ham and other Alabama sections, while
rain Is claimed to be needed in the New
Orleans territory. Other reports go to
show fine prospects in North and South
Carolina, but from other sources again
we are told that Central Texas has re-
ceived very little rain which gives very
poor prospects for cotton. The forecast

statistician of the New York cotton ex-
change that southern consumption will be
not less than 10000 weekly, and maybe

BROUGHT
SIXTY-F|VE
CENTS
HIGHEST PRICES THAT HAVE
BEEN PAID SINCE STORMY
DAYS OF 1874 IN CHICAGO
GRAIN PITS.

CHICAGO. July 19.-In a very exciting
session of the board of trade today oats
sold at CSC, the highest price here since
1874 for that cereal The cause of this
rocket flight which was a gain of 15c in
three days and of $40 today, was the
fear of shorts in July options that they
might not be able to secure oats with
which to fulfill their contracts. Back Of
this cause lay that Of oat fields. yellow
for the harvest. but devastated by the
heavy rains OF the last few days.
Yesterday the trade in oats were very
much excited. Today 1t almost reached a
panic. From the starting gong terror fill
ed the hearts of the bears in the oats pit
Reports during the latter end Of June and
early July indicated excellene harvest Of
oats. Shorts who should be pinched a
little early in the July options determined
TO hang out for a reaction when good
weather arrived. Stocks of old oats be-
came rapidly depleted under constant
good cash demand. May or James Patton,
Of Evanston, had corner May oats and
had done so so successfully that there was
no big cash supplies to buy. When the
heavy realms continued receipts of new
standard oats which must be delivered on
ney July contracts were almost nil. Today
only 81 cars Of all kinds OF oats arrived
and only Is cars were on contract grade.
shorts bought a little stuff but there
was not much offered. 1t was believed
prices would go still higher and chief
among the bulls was Mayor Patton, who
is supposed to have a tight hold on nearly
1900, 900 of new July. Most of this supply
Of short contracts was bought around 36c.
The crowd figures that only profits are
possible to the bull clique. July new
opened SIC higher than last nights
close at coo. There was some haggling
for a short time and then in jumps of /
or cents at q time the price bounded to
CSC. Here and there longs liquidated for
good profits. but the close was very strong
and congested, 1-4c gain for July for the
day at 81 1-2c. September felt the influ-
ence OF July strength and made fair
gains closing 1-2c up at 34c
