STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Feb. 21.-The stock market
this morning demonstrated pretty con-
clusively that speculative sentiment had
overcome the shock caused by yester-
days unexpected announcement of the
proceedings against the Northern Secur-
tiles Company. Stocks held on margin
and by timid holders had apparently
been sold out, and the forced liquidation
completed there was Very little need for
supporting orders in the market this
morning.
At the opening the market was heavy.
but by the second hour the selling had
fallen to such a small proportion that
the market was practically stagnant. AT
the same Tina there was points Of re-
sistance and few stocks gained adci-
tional strength as the day progressed ana
led substantial rally, which placed
prices quite generally above last night S
close. The issuance of the bank state
ment seemed to be the turning point.

New Orleans, La, Feb. 21.-Liverpool
adyices We're disappointing, but our
market, nevertheless, only opened l to z
points lower. subsequently advanced to
3 points in sympathy with the March
manipulation in New York, but eased OFF
later owing to the bearish weekly
statistics. closing at net loss of points
on the day. The total stock in Liverpool
ashore and ahoat of American is 1,117,-
000. against 1884, 900 last year, an increase
of 1884 900. The visible supply of Ameri-
can decreased $4,000 during the week,
against a decrease of Al 900 last year,
and the aggregate to date shows an ex-
cess of SAT 900 over last year. The
twenty nine leading interior towns dur
ing the week received 1900, against
$1,000 last year, an increase of 81 per
cent. This is the largest weekly in
terror movement on record at this time
of the year, and another remarkable fea-
ture is that the total stock of 538, 900 held
by those towns is the largest on record,
with the exception of last year, being
e, 900 over year before last and $4,000
over 1899, the record crop year. The
amount brought into sight during the
week exceeded last year by $4,000 and
the total marketed to date Is S,475,000,
which shows an increase Of 4t4,000 over
last year; therefore, as the growth last
year was 1853 600 and as the excess to
date is 414,0o0, If there is no more cotton
in the South than last season, the move
ment on its face points to crop of
10, 933, 900. Notwithstanding. all facts
disprove the correctness OF small crop
estimates, the hope and faith still ex-
hibited in the anticipated perpendicular
falling off is striking. However, it is
questionable whether the world will con-
tinue to ignore facts much longer. If 1t
were not for the March m9nipulatlons in
New York the probabilities are values
could not be maintained, considering the
weakness of the statistical situation and
the unfavorable European outlook.

A COMEDIANS TRICK.
Rusc by which lie Escaped Arrest
ard Had His Debts Paid.

Many amusing stories are told OF Joe
Haines, n comedian of the time OF
Charles H., sometimes called Count
uaines. II Is said that he was arrested
one morning 10y two builfls for debt
Of f20, when he saw bishop TO whom
he was related passing along in his
coach. With ready resource he imme-
diately saw loophole for escape, and,
turning 20 the men, he said, Let me
speak 10 his lordship. TO whom l am
well known, aud he will pay the debt
and your charges into the bargain"
The bailiffs thought they might ven
ture this. as they were within two or
three yards of the coach, and acceded
to the request. Joe boldly advanced
and took of his hat TO the bishop. His
lordship ordered the coach TO stop.
when Joe whispered 10 the divine that
the two men were suffering from such
scruples OF conscience that he feared
they would hang themselves, suggest
ing that his lordship should invite them
TO his house and promise TO satisfy
them. The bishop agreed, and, calling
TO the baillffs, he said, "You two men
come 10 me tomorrow morning, and
will satisfy you"
The men bowed and went away
pleased, and early the next day waited
on his lordship, who, when they were
ushcred in. said, "Well, my men. what
are these scruples of conscienceT
"ScruplesT" replied one OF them. I'VE
have no scruples! We are bailiifs. my
lord, who yesterday arrested your cou.
sin, Joe Haines. for n debt of f20, and
your lordship kindly promised to salts
fy US"
The trick was strange, but the result
was stranger, for his lordship, either
appreclating Its cleverness or consider
Ing himself bound by the promise ho
had unintentionally given, there and
then settled with the men in full.

good ladies should not be offended be.

they will not feel grieved If others.
like minded, should give this family
assistance We cannot see where any
injustice has been done the Society
because some others than its officers

should be made TO the christian peo-
pie of Ardmore to call and leave them

This would only leave the more for
the Benevolent Society to dispense to
others and should anyone say that its
officers do not do their duty they are
simply misinformed and are not famil-

done by them. as well as the careful
management of the funds entrusted to
to their care. ...
