OPIUM EATER
PASSES AWAY
Coroners Inquest Showed That
he Had Been lntoxi.
Gated.

Frank Burns, the young man who
was found In an unconscious state
"Wednesday night from the effects of
eating opium, died Yesterday morning
al O'Clock in St. Mary's hospital with
out having regained his senses. The
body was taken 10 Pohrs undertaking
rooms and last evening an inquest was
held TO determine the cause Of death.
The coroners jury consisted OF j. n.
Laws (foremanl, Otto Peterson, G. ".
Brown. Phil Hadden. Alex Gilbert and
r. p. Moody.
Nothing developed by investigation
to show why deceased ate the opium.
other than that he was intoxicated at
the time. The evidence. brought for
ward, did not show that he had been
drinking heavily on the night when his
fatal condition was discovered, but It
was very evident that he had been In
a semi mi-intoxicated condition for some
days. The verdict. therefore. was that
deceased came to bis death BY an over
dose Of opium. furnished by parties un-
known, and that. the opium, was taken
while deceased was In an intoxicated
condition.
Little. practically nothing, Is known
OF Burns here. He was without means
and at the time Of his death had only
30 cents upon his person. An envel-
ope was found IN one OF his pockets adj
dressed to A. r. Bourquin. Los Angel
es. In care Of the Soldiers Home.
Burns is not thought TO be the real
name OF deceased, but it is believed he
Is the son Of Bourquln, he having told
one OF the witnesses that such was the
case.
last night Coroner Pohl wired TO the
address and until sufficient time is Civ
en- to receive reply, the body will be
held.

Especial to News and Observer
Now York. April May sold at 1910
and at 1921 today. After opening at the
first named if sold down to 1921 and at
noon had reacted to 1890. This is the sort
of market We can expect for some time
to come. In fact fluctuations are likely
to increase rather than decrease as the
month draws to a close. 1t has been a
question for some time whether the pool
would be able to retain their holdings and
weather a break of half a cent. They
did weather the decline and now it's more
a question of the shorts getting in than
of the ability of the pool to retain their
interest. More cotton was sold today on
the advance and it is generally believed
that a considerable line of paper profits
have been converted into cash. This will
strengthen the pool and without a great
deal more cotton coming in than is now
in sight, the price is likely to be higher
than lower, as the option draws nearer
settlement day. over 10 lac May is on
a basis where cotton can come to this
city. This is likely to lead holders to
keep the price down and prevent delivery
in this city. A large short interest still
exists and this interest is not confined
to the May option. The shortage in July
and August is also large. We cannot
find reasons for selling this market at
the moment and would avoid the short
side for the time being. There may be a
wild time before the May affair is over
and it's a dangerous position.
Cotton futures ranged today as fol-
lows:

New York, April For time this
morning Liverpool reused from her
lethargy, and showed Il gain of points,
but relapsed and retained only points
at the closing Spots also advanced
points with only moderate sales, how
ever. 1000 bales. There was the usual
squirt here this morning though a mild
one this time amounting to only or G
points, for when July reached 9,98 there
was so much evidence of a desire to
liquidate some large lines around ten
cents that a halt was called and prices
received their first set back. May drop
ped down from 1910 to 1921, but only
for a minute and closed at 10. July
closed $50 and August 9.44.
The semi-weekly interior movement
might be construed as bearsh under
other general conditions, but the paltTy
increase in the supply from first hands
IS ovcrshadbwed by the Necessity of
drawing to this market enough cotton to
prevent a corner in May and July.
The clique interest in these months is
variously estimated to be between a
quarter and a half million bales. Shorts
1t is said, will be called upon to deliver
the cotton represented by these contracts.
To secure even the lesser quantity there
would be diverted from the natural chan
nels of trade 250 900 bales al time when
the supply available for legitimate de-
mands is manifestly scant. The result
is that an artificial scarcity of a most
pronounced sort promises to result be
fore the deals in the near months shall
have been closed. In the light of such
possibilities the addition of few thous-
and bales per week to the amount in
sight is only a drop in the bucket. The
very fact that some people are being
induced to sell because of the apparently
bearish trend of receipts will keep the
short interest alive, and prevent a seri-
Gus set back, such as would ordinarily
follow a rise as sudden as the one Just
seen.
The market would be all the healthier
for some liquidation of the long interest.
but any Feline from this cause promises
to be small and short lived.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April THE weakness
which developed in today's stock market
bore witness to the disappointment tei'
in speculative circles at the failure OF
what are considered favorable elements
in the situation to awaken any sign OF
interest in speculation on the part of the
outside public. Call money was not
higher than six per cent. at any time TO-
dav and fell lower than that on enlarged
offerings by the banks, There was some
lending on call also by stock commls-
sion houses. which have supplied their
expected needs with time loans and nave
money on their hands now owing to tho
| practical stagnation of the commission
business in stocks at present. The I'M
mediate money situation ceases to be q
factor in the stock market.
The indefinite postpOnement of the
Southern Pacific annual meeting was
viewed in a more encouraged spirit this
morning, owing to it's insurance OF the
| indefinite prolongation on the present
control of that property, but renewed
uneasiness was felt over the position OF
the speculative pool in Southern Pacific
stock. The extension of the pool carries
it only to April 10 and the suggestive
weakness of the stock today had a weak
onng sympathetic effect on the market
There was heavy selling at other points
| in the list attributed to the same source.
| When this demonstration was seen to fail
| its speculative interest became quite
stagnant. Reports of strikes at some of
the collieries in the anthracite region
| CI int Of h.
strike commissions award, had depress-
| ing effect on the cOalers. The sharp de-
clincs in the United States Steel securi-
| ties coming al the same time with a
meeting of the finance committee Of the
corporation had decidedly unfavorable
effect Both stocks fell over a point and

New York, April liquidation was a
feature of to-day's market. The New
England crowd sold May and bought
July, and they also sold August and
bought October and December, in fact,
they bought large quantities of December
both yesterday and to-day, against sales
of August. This latter operation seems
to be entirely distinct from their hold
ings which they are transferring from
May into July. Wall street houses were
buyers to cover short contracts and the
South sold moderately. 1t looks as if a
little reaction is due, but the bull pool
have the situation we'll in hand and will
probably be heavy buyers on a reaction
as they have been the principal sellers
on each bulge yesterday and to-day
