STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. April 16.-The stock market
reverted to more normal condition to-
day after yesterdays extraordinary move
ment in Southern Railway. The trans
actions in that stock, although scarcely
more than "a of those of yesterday, still
overshadowed the market and were on a
scale beyond precedent, with a very few
exceptions. Heavy profit taking was in
evidence all day long which kept the
prices almost constantly below last
nights level The stock net loss was x.
There was some selling induced by the
emphatic disclaimers on the part of the
Southern Railway interests of any partic-
ipation in the Louisville and Nashville
purchases present or prospective But the
distinction drawn between j. 2. Morgan
and Company as bankers and the same
firm as the controlling influence in South
ern Railway, seemed somewhat strained
The extensive power over the affairs of
Louisville and Nashville allotted to the
firm seemed sufficient security for Is
operation in harmony with Southern Rail-
way. The brokers most active in the
selling of that stock today were those
that were heaviest buyers yesterday and
who have operated conspicTously fcf. the
so-called Gates element in all the recent
large transactions in the market They
were sellers of other stocks which have
recently been bought up to a material
aigher level. But they were also large
buyers at new points in the market, hav.
ing Il large part in the advance of the
Coalers. both hard and soft. The buying
of Chesapeake and Ohio, Norfolk ant

to be based on the assumption that they
should enjoy the same advantages a!

rs. EXPLANATION DOESN'T EXPLAIN
The New Orleans Cotton Market Makes al Up
wud Lunge in Prices Which Surprises
Even the Bull Leaders in
New York.
(By the Associated Press.)


New York, April 16.-Conditions in the
LEGAL dry goods market today have I'M
uergone practically little change in any
department. Buyers for export continue
10 frequent the market and fair orders
have been placed The home demand has
AGAIN been on conservative scale, par
lieu!arly with jobbers.
COTTON.
New York, April 16.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices unchanged
TO 3 points lower, this being an indiffer-
tnt response to very disappointing Liv-
crrool cables and to large receipts at the
lorts. Soon after the call the whole
list eased off point or so further in the
absence of generous speculative support
and under scattering sales by Wall Street
commission houses. The new crop data
from private wires reflected favorable
prospects for the cotton already in the
ground and told of active preparations
over pretty much the entire northern
portion of the belt. The weather condi-
tions were ideal and there was less talk
of acreage reduction. But as was the
case yesterday when least expected, May
shorts began to seek cover, Wall Street
buying orders came to the front and the
New Orleans market made an upward
lunge which surprised even the bull lead
ers here. For the balance of the day
speculation was active with the general
course of prices upward on covering and
new buying. Soon after midday the July
option in New Orleans moved up to 925,
this being seven points above the previous
record price for the season. New Or
leans buying orders here helped to ad-
vance May to 907, July to 903 and August
to $50. Towards the close the commission
house contingent sold freely to secure
profits and some of the more daring trad
ers went short on the theory that Liver
pool will prove disappointing again to-
morrow. The close was quiet and steady
with prices net six points higher to 3
points lower, the new crop positions alone
showing the decline.

MANY MAGNETS
EXPECTED HERE
Future of Baseball Depends on
birmingham Conference
MEET TOMORROW MORNING
Chattanooga viii Make Bitter Fight
Against Ratifying Memphis Agree
ment, as They Are Believed to
Have Been Dropped.
MEET TOMORROW MORNING

The advance guard of the baseball mag
mates will arrive in Birmingham tonight
and by the time the conference is called
to order at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
it is expected that over forty enthusiasts
will be in the city.
Though the meeting was called to at
tend to regular league business, the main
question to be passed upon is the recent
agreement reached in Memphis in which
the new league withdraws its franchise
and gives way to the old Southern league.
1t is understood a bitter fight will be
made against ratifying the agreement by
Chattanooga and Shreveport, especially
the former. Under the terms of the
agreement those two cities will be
dropped if the league is composed of eight
clubs, Montgomery and probably Savan-
nah being given franchises. The hackers
of the club in Chattanooga are very sore
over the turn of affairs and while they
still have a vote in the meeting of direc-
tors they will make the fight warm. 1t is
understood that large delegation from
the Tennessee city will be here.
Attorney Caruthers Ewing. who, to a
certain extent, has been the fighting man
of the new organization, will arrive here
this afternoons Charles Frank arriving at
night
Outside of the ratification of the Mem
phis agreement it is probable that a fight
will be made to have official headquar-
tiers of the league established at Birmine-
ham. The secretary-treasurer, who con-
trolls the leagues finances and the ap-
nointment of umpires has heretofore been
stationed in Chattanooga, but with the
probability of that city being dropped and
on account of Birmingham's central loca-
ton. geographically, it is urged that
headquarters should be located here.
The future of baseball in the south and
the plans for all of next session will be
mapped out at tomorrow's meeting and
there is considerable speculation as to the
result throughout the south.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1902-12-14

local team is behind the scheme. His
plan is to organize the Southern league
with teams at Asheville and Charlotte,
N. c.; Spartanburg, Columbia and Green
VILE, S. c.; Augusta, Ca, and Knoxville
and Chattanooga, Tenn. Out of the cities
mentioned Moffett hopes to secure six
coed teams. The longest jump would be
between Knoxville and Asheville, rs
miles Mr. Moffett says he has been in
correspondence with the cities which de-
sired to enter such a league last season
and believe the league is sure CO. now
that Chattanooga has been dropped from
the Southern league.

1T IS IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking When
USING Catarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route to consump-
lion, and the Importance of early and ju-
dicious treatment of catarrh, whether To-
Gated in the head, throat or bronchial
tubes, cannot be too strongly empha-
sized
The list of catarrh cures is as long as
the moral law, and the forms in which
they are administered numerous and con-
fusing, from sprays. inhalers, washes,
ointmcnts and salves, to powders, liquids
and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the most
convenient and most effective, but with
nearly all advertised catarrh remedies it
is almost entirely matter of guessworlS
as to what you are taking into your sys-
TEN, as the proprietors, while making all
sorts of claims as to what their medicines
will do always keep it a close secret as
to what they are.
The success and popularity of the new
catarrh cure, Stuarts Catarrh Tablets
Is largely because it not only cures ca
tarrh, but because catarrh sufferers who
used these tablets know what they are
taking into their systems. Stuarts Ca
tarrh Tablets being composed of Red
Gum, Blood Root and similar valuable
and antiseptic ingredients, and are pleas
ant to the taste and being dissolved in
the mouth, they take immediate effect
upon the mucous lining of the throat, ma
sal passages and whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
have accomplished in old chronic cases
Of catarrh are little short of remarkable
and the advantage of knowing what YOU
are putting into your stomach is of para
mount Importance when it is remembered
that the cocaine or morphine habit has
been frequently contracted as the result
of using secret catarrh remedies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with cor
dial approval from physicians because
their antiseptic character render them
perfectly safe for the general public to
use and their composition makes them a
common sense cure for all forms of ca
tarrhal troubles.
All druggists sell them for 50 cents for
full-sized packages.
