tax Amalgamated Copper rose early
in response to a sharp rebound in the
price of London copper, but lost most
of the gain when the London copper
market ran off. The reaction in the
silver market had some early effect on
Mexican railroad stocks, but they rail-
lied in company with the rest of the
market. The shipment to-day of $780,
900 in gold to South America follow
ing yesterdays similar shipment to
Paris, kept alive some conjecture as
to a continued outward movement of
gold.

were inclined to take the view that all

DRY GOODS.

New York, April 29.-Little improve
intent is to be noted in either first or
second hands in dry goods despite the
changed weather condition. The
scarcity of the raw materials is a mat
ter of increasing concern, and although
lack of orders would seem to indicate
possible weakness, the high cost of
cotton and the difficulties of securing
sufficient quantity tend to offset this
condition.

Wednesday, April 49,
The cotton market closed without
feature during the day, with the old
crop months a shade higher and new
crops lower. The spot markets show
ed a little change, except a slightly
better demand was reported from
some sections. Savannah closed quiet
and firm, with fair sales by factors.
From the country the offerings were
fairly free, with basis good middling
around 1015 to 1880. The demand was
moderate.
Attention continues to center in the
naval stores markets owing to the
sharp declines the first month of the
new season, which is now about round
ed out The developments since the
season for transactions in May-Au-
gust futures has been anything but
pleasing to the producer, when sales
of this crop could have been made
higher. The extent of the present de-
clines are still problematical with the
trade, for there is uncertainty as to
when a period of strength will be
struck sufficiently to check the de-
cline and hold the price around its
present level. 1t is claimed that the
market is settling down to a trading
basis, and as the search for the basis"
proceeds the producer wonders what
it is to be. Resins closed at a de-
cline of 10c. on G and below, with
sales of a round lot. The wholesale
markets closed steady. Details of the
different markets follow:

When a popular young couple turn
ed from the altar at which they had
taken the sacred and solemn vow
the other day their loving friends
fiocked around them to express their
delight and present their congratula-
tons. Suddenly while the bride was
being kissed by the gentlemanly ush-
ers and the groom was applying chaste
salutes to the lips of the bridesmaids
several strong young men bounced up
on the happy couple and handcuffed
them together. The key was then
thrown away, and bride and groom
were left to get apart when they hap
pened to have time and could induce
somebody with file to operate. Ow-
ing to the fact that they had arranged
to leave on a through train shortly
after the ceremony they had to go to
the railway station locked together,
and in that predicament get aboard
the car. OF course the perpetrators
of the "joke' considered this great
fun, and If the newly married couple
exhibited any annoyance they were
doubtless set down as poor, ungrateful
wretches, who were incapable Of ap-
preciating a good thing. There were
many kinds Of fools In this world, and
they are to be found in every crowd.
They run to fires, they gather at dog
fights, they rock boats, and they
change large bills for strangers, but
| a careful study of the matter would
probably show that fools are found
! in larger numbers at weddings than
| anywhere else in the world. There
seems to be a general idea abroad, in
fact, that one is not doing the proper
thing at a wedding unless he Is max
ing a fool of himself. There are prob
| ably more kinds of foolishness indulg-
ed in at weddings than at all other
ceremonies combined, and it appears
that there Is no help. The wedding
fool is absolutely incorrigible. We
might suggest that good dousing in
| cold water would probably tend to
diminish the ardor of the wedding fool,
but there would be danger in a gen.
eral deluge of bringing unnecessary
discomfort to innocent people. The
world is waiting for some public bene-
factor to come forward with an effec-
] tive and available method of putting
the wedding fool out of business.
