STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 26.-The conspicuous
facts in today's stock market were the
relaxation in the pressure OF the urgent
and forced liquidation which has kept the
market unsettled for some time and the
oxtreme caution OF the buying at the
higher level of prices which was main
tanned today. The general level of the
market was above last night all day but
PRICES wavered and iiuctuated constantly
throughout the session. About 2 O'Clock
prices were generally at the lowest and
in the neighborhood Of last nights level
but one of the numerous rallies set III
during the last hour and the closing was
firm at higher prices than at any pre-
yious time during the day. The opening
headings disclosed from the buying or
dcrs distributed among the great speeu-
lative railroad stocks, the movements IN
which are of largest sympathetic effect
on the general market. These are pre-
cisely the stocks which have suffered most
severely in the recent liquidation. The
evidence that they were supported had
an important reassuring effect on the sit
uation in the stock market, which had
become somewhat alarming as the re-
suit of yesterdays events. Developments
in financial and business affairs were
without effect on the market and the at
tention of operators in stocks was devo-
ted almost exclusively to attempts to
solve the mystery Of the source of the
stream of liquidation. Pure surmises and
responsible gossip played an important
part in this, but the conclusion has been
quite generally arrived at that the re-
cent selling has come from important and
wealthy interests and that the selling was
prompted by some special financial needs
of the holders rather than by conditions
affecting the stocks sold. 1t is a matter
OF public knowledge that very large accu
mutations of railroad stocks have beer
made during the late period of rumor'
of extensive consultations. Part of this
accumulation was made in the direct eff
fort to secure control of various rail
roads and part of it was made by wealthy
speculative followers who were informed
of the projects under way. for profitable

Cotton Letter.
Especial to News and Observer


New York, May 26.-The feature of the
day in cotton was the comparative
strength in the new cotton months. and
the absence of strength in July. That is.
while July ruled only slightly over yester-
days figures October sold up above 9.6O,
and held most Of the advance throughout
the day. The weekly report was decidedly
more favorable than the majority had
anticipated, but the showing did not seem
to bring about as much liquidation as was
expected, and bear hammering was not as
heavy as looked for at the present level.
Two or three very shrewd operators sold
out the fall positions not caring to be
caught long at 91ac. at this season of the
year There was more or less pressure IN
July, partly as a result of the accumula-
ton Of cotton at this center. The bull
party in May will have considerably over
$780, 900 bales to turn over on July and
the supply of cotton in New Orleans is
even larger than this. 1t means that Mr..
Brown will have to finance deal involv-
ing over $500, 900 bales of cotton and a
little figuring shows how much money a
deal Of this kind will require. We would
not want to undertake the buying of cot
ton at the present time, and look for 4
break in prices before long.
Cotton futures today ranged as follows.

New York, May 26.-Further advances

been moderate, but sellers are not forcing
business and have little to sell.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, May 26.-The cotton market
opened firm at decline of 3 points to
an advance of IL points, the decline be
ing confined to the spot option. The ad-
yances were due to better Liverpool ca
bles than expected, while the imme-
date climatic conditions were favorable
and estimates for port receipts heavy
as compared with last year The market
continued to show an advancing tendency,
July reaching 1928; August 1886, and
September 1902 with the general list
10 to IL points higher except May which
showed easiness under liquidation by
.'tailers." The advance was again led by
New Orleans where the bull leader was
reported to be bidding II cents for August
after having forced the market up from
1898 for that option. At the higher
levels attained here however, there was
considerable proft-taking and reaction
was brought about of several points which
was increased when the summary of the
regular weekly report of the Weather
Bureau was read, showing a slightly less
unfavorable condition than expected
When the details of this were published,
however, it was responsible for another
sharp rally occurring mostly in the late
months, under covering and fresh buying
orders in those positions
From Ills, the low point for July,
1910 for August and 9.93 for September
the market was forced back to about the
best point of the day with the New Eng
land bull leader reported a heavy buyer
particularly of the autumn months
The close was firm at a decline of 20
points on May, which closed at 1923 to an
advance of to 13 points elsewhere.
Total sales futures were estimated at
100000 bales.
Trading during the day. while fairly
active. was not so spectacular as during
some sessions recently, though sentiment
remains nervous and unsettled.
Receipts at the ports estimated at about
5000 bales turned out considerably less
than expected. the figures being only A.
III bales. against 5.291 bales last year, and
this assisted in the late upturn
Estimates for tomorrow's receipts at
leading points were full.

Regular Republicans Say They Will
Continue to Fight Him,


Dover, Del. Jan. 19.-The Union Re-
public caucus tonight placed ]. Edward
Addicks in nomination for both the short
and long terms in the United States Sem
ate, both seats having been vacant for
some time. The caucus then appointed
a committee to consult with the ten reg
ular Republicans who are opposed to -Ad-
dicks and endeavor to unite them in a
general Republican conference to make
two nominations to the Senate, one to
be Union and one a regular Republican.
The Democratic caucus nominated State
Chairman Willard Salisbury for the
short term and former United States Sem
ator Richard r. Kenny for the long term.
The regular Republicans decided on Col.
Henry A. Dupont and former United
States Senator Anthony Higgins as their
nominee for the long term and short
terms, respectively. Finally it was de-
cided to appoint two conference commit
tees one to meet the Democrats and ask
for further time to consider their propo-
sition and the other committee to inform
the Unions that their proposition would
be refused as long as 1t included Ad-
dicks.

Reading ONCE today
1T Is not true that there are large
quantities of coal, some reports make it
as high as 10000 tons, on the line of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway The
traffic is now moving freely and fully to
destination. There is no scarcity Of coal
cars We now have more than We can
use. The coal movement has been very
heavy. Saturday and Sunday 3,O1S cars
Of anthracite coal passed over the Read
ing division and during the same time
there were unloaded in Philadelphia, Port
Richmond and Port Reading LIZA cars Of
anthracite and s76 cars of bituminous
coal.
This morning there were no loaded
cars at Palo Alto scales and only thirty
eight were left at Cresson
There wepe in trains on the Reading
division this morning 2a7 cars of anthra-
cite and 10S cars Of bituminous coal NOV
ing southwark. The only other loaded
cars were hfty-seven at different pass
ing points, billed to Philadelphia and
miscellaneous points.
THE car reports this morning show
that there are visible supply Of 1900
cars in excess of demand
six collieries with a daily production
of, 1900 tons were drowned out by the
miners union ordering out the pumping
gangs Two Of these colleries are entirely
ruined The other four in the course Of
time will again be worked. Their de-
struction prevents the use of the surplus
cars and deprives the public Of coal

would have happened had the strikers
succeeded in drowning out ill our col
lieries should give the public serious
