STOCKS AND BONDS

New York. March 30.-Hopes of a rise
In prices of stocks today as a result of
the Favorable bank statement of Satur-
day We're disappointed. The opening
dealings proved that the Sunday interval
had resulted in an accumulation of sell
ing orders from various points. Appar-
emily the banks were not calling loans
but many brokers sent out calls to their
customers for additional margin and an
increased demand for call money which
result ran the rate up late in the day
TO per cent. The hope that the corner
in the money market had been true
and the comparative ease normal to the
April period thus brought into immc-
diate prospect was seen to be without
warrant and disappointed holders threw
over stocks again all through the list.
The decline in the first hour was not
acute except in a few stocks and there
was very general recovery by midday.
but the demand fell into almost com
pletc stagnation at the high level, offer
ing no encouragement for the bidding

The labor controversy, with the struc-
tural iron workers, was responsible for
the sharp break in United States Steel,

on the other hand was due TO the re-
ported postponement of the adjustment
OF the labor dispute on that system. The
late break in New York Central was ac-
companied by unfounded rumors that the
New Haven men had gone out on strike
The price touched 130, which is the lowest
on the present movement. The furry to
8 per cent. in the call money rate fell
lowed and combined to produce the late
break to the lowest point of the day.
The covering by room, shorts lifted
prices a fraction, but the closing was
irregular again and active The loss

Saturday of nearly million dollars and
the credit balance at the clearing house

New York March 30.-As American

natural to expect reaction there today
This came to about tho extent expected.

lockout is far less disturbing than a
strike, in which attempts to work non
union labor are Invariably met with vio-
lence, thus keeping the trouble an open
sore before the eyes of the trade.
Receipts at ports were swelled by
heavy shipments through Port Arthur and
Sabine Pass, Texas, but exports were a
strong feature, over $4,000 bales being
cleared for foreign ports today against
$4,000 receipts There was, however, a
general air of pessimsm abroad, which
neither the heavy exports nor the rain
storms in the cotton belt could stem

points, recovering only slightly at the
close. The new crop positions, however,

leading cotton authorities of Great Brit

British spinners, who 'up to the 14th

adds: we have very good reason for
believing that good spinning cotton for
the worlds requirements for the balance
of the season, does not exist, and how
our local supplies are to be constantly
replenished with continental spinners

a problem that only time can solve"

New. York, March 30.-The market had
the most extensive break OF the last few
weeks today. May declined eighteen
points at one time and it looked as
though bulls were selling May cotton.
The weak stock market, the strike in
Lowell and approaching planting season
all operated against the cotton market
Liverpool broke sharply and this brought
in sellers here. There was more real
bear talk than we have heard in some
time Everyone was against the market
for the time being at least Pressure
was all along the line, being greatest in
the old crop months. There was gem
eral that the movement would be larger
this coming month than during April
of last year, when receipts were only
about $50 900 bales. Then too, the visi-
bile supply ran down sharply last year
at this time, decreasing some 600,0
bales between this and May third, I'm
der this view of things we would con-
tinue to sell August on every rally
There is nothing in the present outlook
to put prices up very much and the ten
dency of the market should be towards
lower rather than a higher level We
do not want to sell cotton on breaks. On
a rally Of ten points we would sell mod
erately We think the short side of
August on bulges is safer than the long
side of any option.
Cotton futures today ranged as fol-
lows:

Especial to News and Observer
New York, March 30.-Larger receipts
at Houston and New Orleans caused an
easier feeling in cotton this morning
and as the New England crowd did moth
ing prices were allowed to sag. Reports
from along the Mississippi told of sub
siding floods, which encouraged a little
short selling, but on the whole the mar
ket was dull. The heavy receipts arc
entirely at the expense Of previously
counted interior stocks and there is moth
ing in the movement to disturb the conf
dence Of the May holders.
Straddle sales of August and purchases
of October at the same time will, we
believe, pay sixty per cent profit without
much risk These options usually como
close together during the early sum-
mer.

Situation StrOrg Factor in
New York Market.

New York, March 30.--The dry goods
market has been dominated principally
by strike talk, interest centering in the
possible effect of prolonged or widened
trouble on the Price situation Values
are maintained and the market is steady
although little business is in progress
Sellers show no inclination to weaken
and feel that the strike is a strengthen
ing factor.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, March 30.-The cotton mar
ket opened weak at a decline of 3 to 8
points, and while rat first the new crop
months showed some little steadness,
ruled generally easy under liquidation
and short selling until mid-atternoon
when. with prices to 20 points below
Saturdays close. there was some profit
taking which brought about partial
rally The close, however was barely
steady at a net decline of to 10 points.
The most immediate feature in the weak
ness was the showing made by the Liver
pool market At the time of the New
York opening, the English market was
10 6 points lower, while spot cotton
was 4 points lower. The foreign weak
ness. according to private cables, was
due to fears regarding New England
strike prospects, and the labor situation
was also a factor in determining local
sentiment Another influence in the de-
cline was the larger port receipts which
for the day were 2SS11 bales, against
II .7O4 bales last year. while the estimates
for receipts at leading ports tomorrow
were heavy. particularly for New Or
leans, where about 1880 bales are eX-
pected against 1884 bales last year. The
estimates for Galveston and Houston
we're less depressing, but the weather
news was averaged up as favorable TO
farm work and Liverpool showed con-
tinued weakness, closing 6h to Si2 points
net lower. Exports for the day were
heavy and at the lower level of the day
this encouraged profit-taking by the
shorts. Totals for futures estimated
$50, 900 bales.

That Hazlehurst takes after
China in the fact that young ladies
of that little burg and the young
men composing its swelldom,
rarely ever marry at home, always
seeking a better half or rib, as the
case may be, in near by towns or
New Orleans. In China a pre-
vious acquaintance between a male
and female prevents them from
marrying. Fol- this reason man
seldom weds girl of his town.
That chiffon velvet is new and
very beautiful trimming material.
The material is so light in weight
and so soft in texture that a half

that, in return, a yard of it will
crush fat pocket book. So it
will not be very popular among
our bellies.
That we are no longer to be
compelled to see the ladies mop
and sweep the sidewalks with their
long skirts. Hereafter clerks will
have to keep the pavements clean;
for, practically, all the new street
suits are ankle length, or at any
rate escape the ground. So mote
it be.

Rosh HasIlOnah.

On Monday evening at sunset
the Jewish New Year, 1904, will
be ushered in. The authority for
the observance of the season is
found in the book of Numbers,
xxx chapter, and first verse,
viz: ''And in the seventh month,
on the first day of the month shall
ye have an holy convocation; no
service work shall ye do; a day
of blowing the shofar shall it be
unto you."
Rosh Hashona is really the be-
ginning of a ten day period of re
ligious observance, ending with
Yom Kippurim, or Day Of Atone
ment, which is even more solemn
and sacred than is the opening
day.
Rosh Hashona, New year SER

gregation Bnai Sholom in this city

Y. M. c. A. IN CHICAGO FAC TORIES.
Novel Features are to be introduced Into
the Educational Work of the
Organization This Fall.

Student classes in factories and
business houses are to be a new
feature of the educational work of
the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation this fall. The first expert
ment will be made in two of the
largest manufacturing plants in
Chicago. The proprietors of these
factories have set aside classrooms
and the association will supply
teachers. So anxious are the
firms to improve the quality of
their help that they have agreed
to give one working hour each day
for study in the class rooms.
Walter M. Wood, for ten years
educational director in the central
department, has been appointed
superintendent of education, and
will have control of all educational
work of the association in the
city, including the work of de-
partment of affiliated movements
which has just been organized.
Student classes will be confined
to the central department in the
future, but will be opened in de-
partments throughout the city.
Last year there were 1 400 young
men in the classes at the central
building, Under the new order
the association management hopes
to reach 1900 before the year is
out.
The above shows something of
the practical work of the Y. NJ. C.
A. that is being done throughout
| the country. Our local associa-
tion is planning to be just as
practical in Brookhaven. The
night classes that will be taught

already there are a number of APP
plicants for the different studies.
1t is quito encouraging to see
