A. B. Baxter e Co.'S Cotton Letter.
 IRY PriYafa Wira.1

NEW YORK, April 7.-Dospite the big rise yesterday the cot on market today made an- ether advance of 4@6 points early in the day. The short element were being badly pushed to relieve their anxiety. There were predictions of an immense amount of cotton coming this way. This, however. was not seriously re- garded. The situation apart from the May question. Is strong one. Receipts are not likely to pick up enough to lift the crop up to point greater than the demand for the season, and this, after all, will tell most in the long run. In other words, the statistical situation being so strong for weeks has not weakened and shows signs of weakening. The weather in the South continues favorable for the preparation of the new crop. but neither the character of weather or the receipts disturbs the confidence of the bull element. There was little rain of consequence in the South today and the port receipts pointed to l7.00o against o,00o last year. The market weakened after the opening and buyers were out of the market for the time being. New York stocks gained HOO bales. May, after advancing s points. lost the advance and went off 8 points. The clique were not in evidence! Cables were quiet at unchanged to 1 point ad- vance,,

NEW YORK. April 7.-Ths cotton market opened firm ct an advance of I07 points. and immediately following the call displayed quite . little activity. with May selling up to io.4o and July to o.oo and being a new high record for the season- The initial strength was due to continued buying in the old crop petitions. particularly by May and July shortn, but tho shorts were about the only buyers and while the Liverpool market made fair response to the New York advance of Monday. port receipts were heavy. and the market after q brief in- tervAl Of irregularity turned decidedly weak under liquidafion. During the balance of the ssssion prices displayed an almost uninter- close there was an improvement from the lowest of Q points in May and about points on the list generally as result of further covering. with the market finally barely steady ct . net decline of 6 points to an advance of point.

It was said that about 70. 900 bales were being held tn the South for shipment to New York for de- livery should the bull clique call for actual delivery on May holdings. and this naturally encouraged room shorts to maintain their po- sition. while 1t also brought about renewed sales by commission houses, who took profits for the long account and the bull pool was also credited with selling May.

day afternoon and succeeded with very little
trouble in locating him. Reynolds acknowl-
edged giving the checks and said that some
money that had been due him some time
ago was to have been placed in the bank
and he had supposed it had been put there
to his credit. Mr.. Reynolds says that he
is at present engaged in writing a book on
the civil war. which. after two years of
hard labor, is nearly completed. Mr.. Reyn-
olds cashed a check for s. at the Star

erences that his check at both places was
considered at the time absolutely good.

the Building.

The newly remodeled building of the

sided over by James NJ. Ogden who is a

Brighter Day." The Rev. Worth M. Tippy
pastor of the Broadway NJ. K. Church, in
addressing the audience said that it is the
custom of people everywhere to organize
themselves into clubs; the street boys have
their club or gang and the rich people
have their fine club. I'VE have said he
"a number of such clubs in this city, but
the one that is probably the best equipped
of them all Is the Y. NJ. c. A. 1t is pre-

fore you will be able to hitch your wagon
to star and succeed it is necessary for
you to have some aim, some real purpose
in life. The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation may well be called the Young Man S
Character Adjusting Factory, for it's OBJ
jecI is to help God make a man by helping
the man to find his real aim in life, and
when that is done the association helps him
to hitch his wagon to a star. There is only
one way for a man to succeed in this
world and that Is by getting on the right
track. If he once gets himself on the right
track and holds himself there he will be
successful"

went through the building upon the fnyi-

most interesting data concerning the earli-
est German settlements in the United
States, from the founding of Germantown,
Pa, In 1858 by Franz Pastorius. who was a
close friend of the Quaker leader. William
Penn. From the beginning, Mr. Falbisaner

against the slave trade that was growing
rapidly in America. He dwelt especially
on the part taken by Germans in the revo-
lutionary war.
He next took up the different German col
onies and settlements, speaking at length
Of tie Rappisten colony In Indiana
around New Harmony, and the
settlement of the German nobility

ScripttOnS or these scenes ana movements
were very sarcastic He likewise delivered
some very words about the Turner
settlements in New Ulm, Mimi. of which
one of the founders was Jacob Mix. father
of Prof Robert Mix, superintendent of
German in the public schools of this city.
The speaker also touched up the work of
the Giessen Society in 1894. under Frederick
Muench and Paul Fellenius. and discussed
briefly the Latin Farmers" near Belle
Vile. Ill. Reference was also made to the
founding of Hermann. Me. by the German
Settlement Society OF Philadelphia, in 1886,
and the settlement Of the INSCRIPTIONS
Bishop Stephen.
The latter part of the lecture de-
voted to the Importance of German infu-
ence I'm American history. In closing he
said that the Germans were always the
right side and exhorted his audience TO
defend the Republic and the new father
land.

There VIII he No Strike

There VIII He No Strike.
Another meeting of the Butchers Union
was held yesterday afternoon in the Red
Mems Hall, on Washington street, to fur
Their discuss the condition of the meat cut
ters employed at the packing houses of
Kingan & Co. The meeting was well at
tended. and the interests of the men were
thoroughly entered into. However, it was
decisive action was taken, nor would any
be taken until the international officers of
the association are heard from. James
Sullivan. business agent of the butchers
local union Of the Amalgamated Meat Cut
ters and Butcher Workers of North Amer
lea, said last night: "A meeting was held
this afternoon, but no action was taken,
and everything remains as 1T has been. We
anticipate no trouble in settling our diff
ference, and will not act until We communi-
cate with our international officers at SYRIA
cuse, n. Y. Our affairs were discussed at
length at the meeting. but the outcome of
ii amounted to nothing"
The meetings of the butchers are held
with the utmost secrecy, and the exact
feeling OF the men cannot be CLEANED, as
all are very conservative when reporters
are about. A committee of the men en-
ployed at kingan &c Co. waited on the
employers of the company Saturday even
ing and stated their demands They ask
for a small increase in wages and several
changes In their working conditions. The
employers have taken their demands under
consideration, and will decide within a
few days whether they will concede the
butchers what they ask.
John NJ. Shaw. superintendent of Kingan
& Co, said: About thirty-five of the men
employed in our firm called upon US Sat-
urday evening. We simply heard their de-
mands and made no overtures TO them.
They ask for a slight increase in their wage
scale and several other minor changes in
their contracts. We told them that we
would consider their claims and report to
them in a few days what action we would
take. We have not yet decided what course
will be taken"

WOMAN DREW A CROWD.
Annie Schwab's IntOxication the
Cause of Many RumOrs.

Annie Schwab, living any place about the
city where her loafirg will be tolerated,
and a noted police character. having been
arrested for lettering and drunkenness more
times than any other female in the city. was
found at the corner Of West and Washing
ton streets yesterday afternoon in state
of intoxication, which at first looked very
dangerous. She was removed TO the city
Dispensary in a supposedly dying condi-
ton. 1t was Just in the middle of the after
noon and crowds of people were going along
Washington street. Seeing the policemen
carrying the PROSTATE form of the girl into
the Dispensary, mob soon formed out
side the door. From one group she had
been murdered and from another she had
committed suicide, and forty different rea-
sons could be learned from the crowd as
to the cause of her condition. She lay as If
lifeless for several hours on the operating
table, but finally rallied and was arrested on
the charge OF being drunk.
