Order For Knights and Ladies o.
Honor-Some of Its Advantages.

II is self governing organization es
tablished in 1877. 1t gives insurance to
its members at actual cost, unmixed
with investments and speculative
schemes that only serve to increase the
cost and in the end disappoint the
policy holders. Its rates are based
upon the actual risks A lower rate
would be unsafe, higher one needless
ly oppressive. 1t admits woman to
equal privileges with men in all re-
spects. All claims are paid promptly
and in full. The time to insure is now
while in health. Delays are dangerous.
A week hence may make it impossible
and put insurance forever beyond your
reach. For further information apply

tector Southeast Miss. For Knights

STOCKS AND RONDS.

New York, March 5.-There was an act
Of mystery about the greatness of the
stock market today Rumors of financial
embarrassment in the dry goods world

the feeling of distrust and apprehension.
This vague feeling was the most effectual
factor in the days weakness of stocks.
But the money needs developed by the
situation had their positive influence by
the withdrawal of credits from the stock
market in the shape of calling of loans.
The prevailing tightness of money leaves
little resource for replacing of loans that
are called. The consequence was d
dribble of forced LIQUIDATION. This was
steady and practically uninterrupted

course of prices was constant, but did not
make wide jumps in the sctiye stocks

an equally sharp partial recovery of this
loss since Tuesday May should work
back to $50 or even to 1900. We don't
believe in playing for the advance, but
do believe in getting out the August COW
cred on the break this morning. If the
market recovery equals our expectation,
August should sell around 9.35 or $40
very easily. Then begin to sell again
for a break. The bull clique have had
a severe blow If the market RECEIVERS

to sell at 1917 again. 1t may do this.
It will do it, if the crowd are able to

and everything favors shorts at that tig-
ure. Too much newspaper notoriety is
