right, and D. J. Pratt, the driver of the coach, sustained fracture of the skull, which it is feared will re- suit fatally.
 The Point of Collision.
 The accident happened at a point about mile and half from this city. near the Pitt Sfiefild Country club house. The president was en- JoNing coaching trip from Dalton Gov. Cranes home. where the presi- dent spent the night, to Lenex, d dis tanCe of 20 miles over the Berkshire hills. The car was in charge of Con ductor James Kelly. with Motorman Luke j. Madden on the front plat form. The ear struck the coach in the rear and smashed in the back of the vehicle, tipping il over and throwing its occupants to the ground. The car was not badly damaged. Motorman Madden and the conductor, Kelly. were at once arrested and taken to Pittsfeld. Pratt, the driver of the coach, was taken there also and placed in the Pittsfield hospital.
 The Injuries Sustained.
 The president, who in falling from the coach sustained only slight bruises and few scratches and Sec retary George E. Cortelyou who suf- fered similarly. with the exception that he was cut on the head, with the other members of the party went to the Country club, nearby. where their wounds were dressed In short time they proceeded to the Curtis ho- tel. at LenoX, arriving there at II o'clock. The president retained his usual composure, although he was solicitous for the rest of those in the carriage. The excitement was in tense and rumors flew thick and fast that the president had been killed.
 After remaining at the scene of the accident an hour. the president de termined to continue his journey to Stockbridge
 Proceeded to Stockbridge.
 After brief stop at Lenox, he was driven to the train. In the next car | riage to the presidents when the ac- cident happened was Dr. G. A. Lung. of the navy, who accompanied the president for just such emergencies as this, and who was promptly on hand to render assistance to the president. But the president was disinclined to receive medical attention, saying he | was but slightly hurt
 The Days Programme Changed.
 The presidents programme for the day included a journey from this state through Connecticut. and he was to stop at Lenox and Stock bridge and Great Harrington in Mas | sachusetts and at New Milford and Bridgeport. in Connecticut. Al Bridgeport the yacht Sylph was tc meet him and take him back 70 Oyster Bay. The accident. however, caused some change in the intermediate stops from Lenox to Bridgeport, tho

Then he retraeed his steps to the carriage, and turning, said to the people:
 We have met with an accident One of the party, Il faithful friend, has been killed and our driver un- doubtedly fatally injured. Under the circumstances it is. of course, impos- sible for me to say more to you than that l deeply appreciate your kindly greeting"
 Then he went on to Stockbridge.

II. and 3. Beers Cotton Letter.

Especial to News and Observer
New Orleans, La, March 10.-The de-
cline in Liverpool was attributed to
heavy continental selling. Our market
in sympathy opened to points lower,
but fresh outside buying shortly after
caused an advance of points from the
bottom. The large New Orleans esti-
mate for tomorrow and threatened labor
troubles at Fall River, occasioned a
break of 10 points from the top, making
the net loss on the day points. Port
receipts for the three days are 1000 in
excess of last year and the four leading
interior towns during the same time show
an increase of 5000. Fall River advices
say that a meeting of the Weavers' I'm
ion and the Textile Council held yester
day, general strike was recommended
to begin March 18th as the 10 per cent
Increase in wages has been acceedcd to
only by Mr.. Borden, the other manufac
turers having refused the request of
operatives. Manchester cables state that
there was small inquiry from the large
eastern outlets, but occasional lines were
sold. The trade with South America and
the Mediterranean was not brisk and

There was more inquiry in jeans, re-
sulting from the activity at Liverpool
of the past few days. The Royton spin
ners will reduce their production buy
ing the next ten days and there is talk
CT a general stoppage during Easter
week. With the disposition evidenced
by English spinners to run the mills on
shorter time, the possibility of a strike
in Fall River, and the continuance of
liberal receipts, the chances are values
may be hard to maintain, therefore. we
again suggest that our friends be con-
sentative in their operations.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 10.-Efforts were
made to contest the infiuenc of the Sat
urday bank statement during the early
hours of today's stock market, but late
in the day belated borrowers ran up the
money rate by their bidding against each
other and predictions were heard from
the best authorities that money would
rule higher in the immediate future. The
disaster to the British arms in south
Africa had strong sentimental effect,
although the direct influence Was re-
strained by the fact that the London
stock market was closed when the news
was received. Traders here sold stocks
on the supposition that news will induce
some liquidation for London account,
and also may effect our money market
by accentuating the pressure for gold in
London. Reports by accepted authori-
ties that the condition of winter wheat
was not promising to face the coming
critical period for the crop were also a
bear influence. The whole market gave
way and closed active and weak with a
large number of leading stocks from 10
to 215 points lower than Saturday clos
ing prices. There We're many assur-
ances put forth this morning, apparent
ly in concert, that nothing was to be
feared from the money market in spite
of the low stage of the reserves. The
principal burden of these arguments was
to the effect that large proportion of
the present large loans of the New York
clearing house banks are to railroad and
industrial syndicates, made up of the
country's most powerful capitalists. 1t
is urged that these borrowers are the
best security in the world, SO that little
is to be feared from loaning the banks
resources up to the legal limit on such
security. The Journal of Commerce es-

New York. March 10.-The cotton
market opened easy with prices off to
8 points under brisk selling for both
accounts. During the first half hour the
market continued to show irrogularity.
owing TO weakness in the Liverpool mar
ket and to scarcity of new buying or
ders. But offerings were soon exhausted
and as Liverpool rallied quite sharply
there was marked Improvement in the
market generally by IL o'clock. Then

final bids of Saturday with sentiment
once more quite bullish. "Strike,' talk
from Fall River was a disturbing in
fiuenCe, but was offset by significant
strength in New Orleans. Wire houses
and Wall Street buying sent May to SS5
and July to SS9 soon after the noon
hour. but the official estimate for to-
morrcw's New Orleans receipts proved
far larger than expected and sharp re-
lapse followed. Just when the market
was in fair form to regain this decline,
news of British reverses in South Africa
reached the ring and heavy general SELL
ing at once set in, continuing through
out the rest of the session. New low
prices for the day were reached on the
late break with the market barely
steady and net to Z points lower at

loans by New York bank and trust com
panies since January 1, 1901, have been
made to such syndicates. The point Is
also made that sufficient account has
not been taken of the great expansion in
capital and surplus of the banks in that
period and exaggerated account of the
small increase in cash reserves. These
arguments evidently have had some
academic force. but they were not suf-
ficient to dissuade the small Spectator
from selling out stocks when he saw the
index finger of the money rate pointing
to higher figures. The principal feature
of today's early market was the renewal
of the upward movement in the Colorado
southern stocks and large buying of
Mexican Central and Mexican National
