$4,000 in excess of last year and $4,000

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 6.-Today's stock
market made a remarkable exhibit of
strength in spots. Several of the custo-
mary market leaders were included in the
upward movement. The strength of the
market nevertheless failed to carry con-
viction as to the genuineness of the de-
mand which lifted prices to higher level.
AS the advance gained Roadway various
outstanding short interests were put un-
der pressure and bought rather urgently
to cover shorts contracts. The demand
was so far unquestionably genuine. 9th
erwise there was the appearance of ma
nipulation. This was partly due to the
character of the stocks which advanced
most conspicuously, stocks which are often
not heard of for weeks at a time on the
exchange Nor was there any tangible
news today to account for their strength,
either affecting them individually Or the
general situation. In fact the conditions
which have made the basis of the bear
argument earlier in the week continued
in force today. The great snow storm
with the new obstruction to traffic threat
ened inroads upon future showings OF
earnings. The engagements of gold for
export on Saturday were increased to-
day to 100000 with the possibility of
further engagements tomorrow still open.
Reports of friction over freight rates in
the Southwest and of the dissolution of
freight associations on account of threat
ened action by the Government continued
to be heard. These would all have in
duced selling of stocks in the speculative
temper which prevailed earlier in the
A
strong sentimental effect was produced
by the persistent show of strength in
Chicago and Northwestern and the char
acter of the buying which lifted it and
which had every appearance of genuine
investment demand. 1t was this move
ment which directly encouraged the heavy
buying of St. Paul and which leavened
the whole market in the course Of the
day. 1t was supplemented by similar
movements in other high grade closely
held stocks such as Pullman, which rose
an extreme 16 points, Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Omaha seven and a num-
Der of less conspicuous examples. North
western itself touched 233. During the ex-
istenee of a corner in the stock years ago
it touched 230 which was the previous
record. Pullman, General Electric, Omaha
and Chicago and Eastern Illinois also
made record prices today. Another nota-
BILE movement was in Colorado Fuel which
gained ten points on very active de-
nand and very feverish movement This
movement is supposed to be directly rela-
ted to that in Colorado and Southern

COTTON
New York, March 6-The cotton market
opened steady with prices 1 to points
higher and was very active throughout
the session with shorts once more fever
ish buyers. All news favored a continu-
alton of the bull movement. and the
friends of the market are not slow to
take every advantage of their oppor-
tunity. Liverpool cables were decidedly
better than anticipated with the feature
of an advance of 1-32d in cotton on
sales Of $1,000 bales. European buying
orders were numerous in the local ring,
while commission houses were large pur-
chasers of the May and July options.
Yet enormous realizing sales were in
evidence throughout the session and at
times gained the upper hand, causing a
sharp reaction in prices. Advices from
Southern spot markets told of an adj
vance of lie to Bc. again in prices with
demand prodigious, clearances for ex-
ports were $4,000 bales against $4,000
port receipts, interior town receipts were
far less than the shipments, estimates
for tomorrow's receipts indicated a
further shrinkage in the movement, and
trade accounts were never better than
now. All told, conditions averaged up
strongly in favor of the market. The
close was steady with prices net 4 to 5
points higher on near months, and to 3
points lower on far months. Total sales
were estimated at $4,000 bales, the
largest single days transactions in many
months. Realizing caused the decline in
late months in the afternoon.

On payment of $4,000 the family of

gets 100000 from the Equitable Life AS
suranee Society. The family decided to
take $1,000 year for twenty years and
then 100000, rather than $4,000 in a
lump sum now. Mr.. Thomas died on
August e. Twelve years ago he took
out a $4,000 policy in the Equitable.
Last year he took 100000 more in the
shape of five per cent gold bond, on
which he had to pay $4,000 premium.
The Society offered the family $4,000
cash in gold, or the $4,000 a year and
100000 additional at the end OF twenty
years. The family chose the latter
option.

Apropos Of the sssdpsot !Schiey

Of bis mcrited share in tho glory
Eof the naval battle of Santiago,
there is an instance of two Confed-
crate generals claiming the victory
after a great battle, and which
presents conspicuous contrast to
the spirit of jealousy and ambition
that has brought about the inves-
tigation which is now attracting
both National and international
attention.
The night before the battle OF
Charlottesville, Lee with 10000
men, confronted the Federal gen
eral, Hooker, with $4,000. Hooker
had been in position sufficient
time to be we'll intrenched VIXEN
Lee faced him and his position
was thereby deemed too strong to
be taken by a strictly front as
sault.
About daylight on the morning
of May 2, 1868, the first day OF The
great battle, Major Hotchkiss,
Lees Typographical engineer, re-
ported as he had been directed to
do, at Lees quarters, in the woods.
He found Lee and Jackson there
seated upon two Federal cracker
boxes, and spread before them, on
another cracker box, a map, and
showed them road he had dis
covered leading to Hooker's right
rear; and explained as far as he
knew the situation Of the Federal
army. General Lee then said to
General Jackson, "What do you
propose to do?" He replied, $50
around here" moving his finger
over the road the engineer had in
dicated. Lee said: "What do you
propose to make this movement
with?" He replied: "With my
whole corps" Lee then asked:
"Wbat will you leave me?" "The
two divisions of Anderson and Nc
laws" (about 10000, said Jack
son. "Well, go on" said Lee; then
with a pencil he gave Jackson his
last instructions, says: General
Stewart will cover your movement

,Faadsit to him. The note made nc
mention Of the wound that Gcner
al Jackson had received, but con
graduated General Lee upon the
great victory.
81 shall never forget the look Of
pain and anguish that passed over
his face as he listened. With g
voice broken with emotion, he
bade me say to General Jackson
that the victory was his, and that
congratulations were due to him

gard this incident, but for myself,
rs gave expression TO the thoughts
of tie exalted mind, / forgot the
genius that had won the day in my
reverence for the generosity that
refa 'ed the glory.
1t was jackson who made the
'loop" at charlottesville, and
his chief gave him the glory of the
victory. 1t was Schley who made
the "loop" and won the victory at
Santiago, but his chief claimed the
glory and discreditcd the "loop."
1t was Schley who delivered the
chief blows that destroyed the
Spanish squadron, but he is denied
the victory. 1t was Jackson, the
thunderbolt Of war, who hurled
the first lightning that struck
MANNED and mangled Hooker's
army, and it was Lee who com
pleted the victory so brilliantly
begun by Jackson. The admiring
and reverential subordinate gave
the credit TO his honored chief
who, with his accustomed justice
and magnanimity, not only refused
the proffercd laurel, but promptly
returned it to decorate for the last
time the pallid brow of his dying
lieutenant.
Jackson claimed the victory for
Lee, but Lee claimed the victory
and established it for Jackson.
But these majestic and matchless
men were not fighting for glory or
conquest, but for the freedom and
independence of their stricken
country. Besides, there is but one
Lee and but one Jackson, God
bless them both!-General G. W.

fury Of a tAund,rbolt from a clear
sky. lie swept diagonally down
upon Hookcr's line, driving every
thing before him till night put an
end to The battle and saved Hook
er from complete rout.
During the night, while making
Il personal reconnaissance for q
night attack, jackson, by mistake,
was fired upon by his own men
and mortally wounded, but lived
eight days. During the night
Hooker reformed, as best he could
his shattered and routed lines;
and early the next morning Lee,
with Stuart in command Of Jack
sons corps, renewed the attack
and by 10 o'clock Hooker, with
what was left of his splendid army
Of $4,000, was in full and fighting
retreat before what remained Of
the invincible little army of North
Virginia.
When Jackson was told that Lee
had won the victory, he sent him
a note ofcongratulations, and here
