only 1887 bales, as compared with 29,-
S4s last year. The estimates for to-
morrow's receipts at leading points
though moderately full, did not indi-
cate the expanding tendency predicted
by the bears and the weather reported
through the South was not reassuring
to those who look for a. large move
ment to depress prices, rains being
quite generally forecasted for the next
twenty-four hours, while additional
flood news also caused the shorts some
uneasiness. Speculation, however, was
largely professional and the advancing
tendency was interspersed by frequent
though as rule immaterial reactions,
rejecting the operations of room
scalpers, while the clique interests
were believed to be steadily support
ing values. The close was quiet and
steady net 4 to points higher, that
level being within point or two of
the best of the session. Total sales

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 17.-To-day's stock
market was entirely in the hands of
the professional operators and these
for the most part of the smaller class.
The whole market was dominated by
Southern Pacific. The manifest sup
port for that stock and the cessation
of yesterdays pressure against Union
Pacific caused a check to the early
selling here, and a gradual recovery
ensued. Late in the day Southern Pa
eific, Union Pacific, st. Paul and one
or other leading speculative stocks
were a point above last night.
The realizing at the last took the
top of prices, and the closing was easy.
During the unsettled period of the
morning there was pressure to sell New
York Central, carrying that stock down
almost point. The persistent slow liq-
uidation in this stock has very de-
pressing sentimental effect on the whole
market. 1t Is variously explained as
being due to sales against expected
privileges to subscribe to new stock
or to the general conviction that with
money at per cent. high grade rail-
road stocks are on too high a price
basis. New York Central recovered
with the rest of the list, and there were
some sharp rallies from recent depres-
sion in Northwestern, the local gas
stocks, and number of specialties.
Reading was a center of some positive
strength which was attributed to the
expectation Of a favorable showing of
February net earrings.
The renewed advance to the London
copper market led to a revival of the
demand for Amalgamated Copper. The
recovery in the Pacifics was followed
by the announcement that the specula-
in po hn6
extended from April /, the original date
Of its maturity, to Aprf1 10. 1t has
been feared that the coming dissolu-
ton of the pool would lead to the
throwing over of some heavy offerings
of stock. On the other hand, its con-
tinuanee will involve the further tying
up of large credits. Some favorable
effect was produced by the conference
between the officials and employees of
the New Haven system for an adjust
ment Of the labor dispute. Money was
somewhat easier with s per cent. the
maximum rate for call loans and a de-
cided softening of the market after the
principal demand had been met. The
sub-treasury established a gain Of
something over a 100000 from the
banks on the operations since Friday,
thus wiping out its contribution of yes
terday 10 the local money supply, but
the rate of absorption by the govern
ment Is much less than IL was last
week. On the other hand there was
very substantial rise In the foreign ex-
change rate.

ulsr. Total sales, par value, 81, 100, 900.

NEW ORLEANS CoTToN MARKET.

New Orleans, March 1.-THE spot
cotton market was quiet to-day. Quo
tations unchanged.
Futures at the opening were even
with last evenings closing to points
higher. On the runor that a crevasse
had occurred on the Tensas levee
front, there was quite a sharp advance
but as soon as the rumor could be
contradicted most of the advance was
lost May and August were especially
active while July, September and oc-
tober received some attention. There
were slight fluctuations, the list at the
close showing net gains of to 8
points.

New York, March 17.-There was
nothing of consequence in the early
cotton market to-day. Prices were 1@3
points higher, but business was on a
small scale, and 1t seemed as though
there was to be a lack of interest in
the market in the future, although
there was still a very favorable opin-
ion as to the situation being strong
enough to lead to much higher mar
ket after q. while. The Mississippi
flood news to-day favored the long
side of the market. Several crevasses
We're reported, and this more than off,
set the somewhat better weather news
in Texas, where no rain was reported,
and where it Is now believed farm
work may be pushed, although the
state cannot expect to be moving cot
ton this year before the middle of Au-
gust in any considerable quantity and
many not then, should another severe
spell of weather set in. Gables to-day
lacked snap, and the absence of clique
in the early market left the gen.
eral trade at sea. Port receipts, $4,000,
against $4,000 last year. The market
moved up sos points after the opening,
and early sellers withdrew. Gables
were a shade better.

Hubbard Bros. a Co... Cotton Letter.

New York March 17-Our market
opened with sales Of May at 9.72c, and
after selling at 9.77c, ruled at etc at
/ p. m. On reports of severe overflow
in the Mississippi valley the Liverpool
market has been the scene of activity
in cotton. Our own market has been
dull, with little outside trading, the
buying coming from the foreign mar
kets on arbitrage. Here the overfiows
have not been regarded as serious, ex-
cept as to a limited area in Arkansas
and few buying orders have been re-
ceived from the Mississippi valley.
With this market relatively the low
est the dullness is regarded as a
strange feature of the situation. May
was comparatively weak the entire
day. Bombay receipts are heavy, 51,-
900, against $4,000 last year. The mar
ket presents a curious contrast to the
activity of last week, showing the alb
sence of outside speculation. The spot
market was quiet and unchanged. Mid

Louis Griffin was shot and killed
instantly at Tweddell's blacksmith
shop, here Saturday, late in the alter
noon by Payton Sullenger, who lives
at Sulphur Springs, this county.
These negroes aud two white men
had been shooting craps at the Ohio
County Fair ground.
Griiflu had lost considerably about
$50 he said, and claimed that Sullen-
ger had unfairly won the money. He
attempted to iorcibly compel Sullen-
ger to refund the money, bat Sullen-
ger drew two large revolvers from his
pockets and Griffin left the scene
He came over to town and narrowed
a revolver and started back to where
he left Sullenger and the white men,
saying he intended to have his money.
On his way he saw Sullenger and D.
w. Likens enter the shop and he also

murder will out has been demoustrit
ed In the most striking manner In
this county In the last twenty-iour
hours. On the night OF November ~
an unknown white man was waylaid
and killed near Pembroke. His body
was found three days after. on No

other man. II rad oeen partially eat

whatever on OF shout the body by
which It could be Unidentified.
Every effort was made by the local
officers to ferret out the murderer OF
murderers, and reward was offered
by the governor. II was evident that
two or more men had committed the
crime, from the number of footprints
that were found In the soft ground OF
the woods near the body. and shortly
after the find was made the only clue
that ever appeared was glove. which
was picked up from the ground. This
glove proved to be one that had been
bought In a store At Pembroke by
