AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Missouri Supreme Court Orders tne
Release Of j. l.. Page and
Cole HickOx.

Jefferson City, Mo-, April so.-
Chief Justice Robinson, Of the Mis-
souri, supreme court, and Associate
Justices Burgess and Fox, in q unani-
nous decision yesterday, ordered the
release Of I. L. Page and Cole Hickox
from the custody of Sheriff Smith,
where they had been remanded by
Circuit Judge HAZEL. The supreme
court judges held, after hearing the
contentious of the attorneys for the
defendants and for the state, that
the defendants were entitled to the
protection afforded by the constitu-
tion, and that they themselves were
the sole Judges Of whether or not
their testimony would tend 70 In
criminate them and subject them 70
Q criminal prosecution.
The effect Of the decision Is Inn
portant, as it means that every wit
ness placed on the stand IN the
Doodle investigation in the future
can, Il necessary, plead that his testa'
mony would tend to incriminate him
and, by taking advantage Of the
rights afforded by the constitution
refuse to answer pertinent questions

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 1.-THE downward
course OF stock prices was turned today
by the influential support in the face
of continued heavy liquidation at the
opening. When the heavy outpouring of
stocks was once stopped the bears be-
gan to look about to secure stocks to
cover their short contracts. In the
earlier stages OF the recovery this was
done in a very leisurely and Indifferent
manner, but towards the end of the day
the buying for bear account to cover
became decidedly urgent The turn
against the short account was furthered
by the circulation of rumOr just before
the close that several alternative plans
of reorganization for the Northern Sc
curities Company had been devised and
would be laid before the authorities at
Washington with the purpose of com
promising the governments suit against
the company by arranging a status to
conform with the law, and thus avoid an
appeal OF the case to the Supreme court.
This story was prominently denied. but
this denial did not reach the floor OF
the Stock Exchange before the close. so
that the alarm Of the bears was un-
aIlayed Previous to that time there
was a marked decrease in the volume OF
business as prices advanced and little

part OF BUYERS.

New York, April 1.-THE re-opening
of Liverpool was a distinct disappoint-
ment to those who expected a full re-
Spouse to our advance of yesterday. In
fact the gain abroad was so light that
a collapse was looked for here. Contrary
to such expectations our opening showed
practically the prices of yesterdays
close, so that American markets stood
entirely alone. Here the generalship of
the bull leaders asserted itself, for they
openly attacked the near months and
sold them down to a level on a proper
Parity with Liverpool. 1t is evidently
their purpose to prevent this market, no
matter how frightened the shorts may
become from advancing prematurely or
out Of line with the consuming markets.
1t seemed to us also that while July
was being sold freely, somebody was abb
sorbing August quietly isl"or,ing lo1{'
suspicion that the clique is transferring
some of its July holding to August with
discount of 55 points or more. This
looks like a sensible business transac-
ton. The first weekly crop report of this
season was issued by the agricultural
department today and further reports will
be issued every Wednesday throughout
the growing season. Today was looked
upon as rather bearish as planting prepa-
rations seem we'll advanced everywhere
except in the Carolinas Northern Georgia
and the oyerflowed sections along the
Mississippi where cotton is up already,
in the extreme Southern portion a fair
to good stand is reported. Strange to
say judging by the course of prices after
no hp he
paid least attention to the favorable
crop outlook, as October and December
declined only points while May and
July were dropped 20. The action of bulls
today in selling so openly looks as If
they were trying to shake out the Tail
crs" preparatory to letting the market
go up without resistance from them
should another short scare occur.

Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
New York, April 14.-The first weekly
cotton crop report issued by the Gov
eminent this season came out to-day and
read as follows: Cotton planting has
made good progress in the central and
western portions of the cotton belt ex-
cept in the flooded areas of Mississippi
and Louisiana. Planting is well ad-
vanced in Southern Georgia. and is pro-
crossing slowly in Northern Georgia anC
South Carolina. over the southern por-
ton of the central and eastern districts
and in Texas early paintings are coming
up to fairly good stands
This report was quite a surprise in
view of the supposed backwardness of
the season over the entire belt. We
have for long time believed that cot
ton would sell at above 10 cents, but
we also pointed out that beginning VITA
May the crop reports are usually very
fattering for at least two months, and
it is about time to begin to anticipate
these favorable advices from the cotton
belt. The first report of the Govern
ment has caused the cotton trade to
stop and think.
1t is probable that the next report may
be followed with considerable liquida-
tion and heavy short selling in antici-
patton of the usual favorable advices
during May and June, and it is also prob
able that this selling will carry market
down and we believe that short sales
will be profitable. The interest in the
old crop has practically eliminated
that represented by spot cotton.
The speculative short interest has
been transferred to the new crop at an
enormous discount, and we believe that
those who sell July and August cotton
now will realize nice profits. Meanwhile
it should not be overlooked that selling
August and buying December at the same
time is a splendid straddle that will
pay handsomely.
