A TRAGEDY.
Yesterday the High School baseball
team went TO Providence. where they
gave an open air tragedy called base
BALI on the Hope street grounds. The
Hope High put up great game and piled
up 13 runs. while the visitors only made
three.
There is some discussion as to whether
the performance was a tragedy or par
ody. but as the East Providence team
simply murdered the game there is no i'm
propriety I'm calling IL murder. The high
school team is made UP of fine collec-
ton of young men, and there is no APP
parent reason why they should not pull
themselves together and play ball There
is good timber I'm the aggregation. but
they either have not yet woke up or are
hoodooed.

JERSEY THE SUMMER PARADISE.

There are regions well known and re-
sorts which are popular, but no one state
has as many famous resorts as the New

gins with an hours sail down New York
Bay to Atlantic Highlands on the Sandy
Hook boats. and then the rail trip leads
along the Jersey shore TO the innumer-
able points from which may be selected

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Sept 10.-The stock market
was rather more active today, but the
increased activity was in many instances
made at the expense of prices. The open
ing, though tame, was sllgE-y higher,
Atchison resuming to an extent its recent
leadership, but later yielding to the
United States Steel shares. The extreme
weakness of the steel stocks. which were
sold in large volume, was disturbing
feature Stories concerning the next az
ton to be taken on the dividend on steel
common together with adverse trade re-
ports were freely circulated, but neither
confirmation nor denial was obtainable
from authoritative sources. Another
stock that showed marked weakness IN
the early session was Brooklyn Transit.
the result it is said, of pool dissolution.
Norfolk and Western scored one point
advance at the opening. Trading re-
lapsed into extreme dulness in the sec
ond hour and the drift of prices was again
downward The reduction in the price OF
Southern pig iron probably influenced the
IL per cent decline in Tennessee Coal
and Iron and was not without effect on
other stocks of that class. Colorado Fuel
advanced points for no apparent rea-
son. Business came almost to stand
still in the early afternoon, but there
was some covering of short contracts and
prices hardened in some instances, only
to lose their Improvement later. Fore
casts of the government crop report were
conflicting and traders seemed disposed to
hold off in the absence of definite news.
For the rest of the day business con-
tinued dull and aside from the further
large offerings and increased weakness
of the United States Steel stocks. to-
gether with some liquidation of Atchlson,
the late session was almost featureless
and closing prices were generally at the
lowest.
The local money situation excited little
interest in spite of a gain of $S50,000 by
the banks, making total since last Fri
day of about 81 500, 900. Call money con-
tinued available at from 2 to 215 per
cent, but there seemed little justification
for the statement that ninety day money
could be had in large amounts under
five per cent.
The bond market lacked feature and
moved irregularly on a small range. Total
sales (par value) $780, 900.
United States bonds were all unchanged
on the last call
Total sales of stocks today were 2S3, 500
shares, including Atchison 63,550; Mis-
souri, Pacific $500; Norfolk and Western

Cotton Letter.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer.)
New York. Sept. 1O.-The expected rally
IN cotton took place today Under the
influence of extensive short covering or
ders October ran up to 9.94, after sell
ing at $50 yesterday. A reaction of 30
or 40 points after so extensive a break
was almost inevitable and it was due
to this belief that so many had courage
to buy cotton yesterday and the day be-
fore. On an advance tomorrow we would
take profits on purchases and would be
more inclined to sell October above ten
cents than to buy it at the moment. 1t
must not be forgotten that there will be
a big cotton movement in the near fu-
ture and this will lead to a very erratic
market. There was a general disposition
on the part of traders to play the long
side and this will change with the first
sign of weakness. We would not be sur
prised to see another sharp break after
the shorts have covered.
