evening. The meeting was CALI
ed to order by Pres. Moores.i
The first question to come before
the meeting was, Will Hope hold
a race meeting this year ? which
was unanimously voted that we
hold two days meet. The next
came the election Of officers,
which resulted as follows : Pres,
c. S. Moores, Secy., A. II. Ward,
Treas, F. N. Gilmore, Board Of
Directors, B. T. Kraabe1, E. D.
Washburn, Geo. A, Luce, 0. G.
Major and J. H. McCol1om. The
purses this year will be.about the
same as last, which will assure
string of good hores. It was al
so understood that we have good
line of side attractions for the en-
tertainment of our guests before
and after the races, so that this
year, it is intended that there
will be something doing" from
early morn till "the wee small
hours of the night" Lay your
plans early to visit Hope on these
dates, and have one of the best
times ever.
Messrs. Warner & Brown of
Coopcrstown were present t.the
meeting and laid the plans sug-
gested by the Cooperstown Asso-
ciation before the association here
in reference to forming a circuit.
After some discussion in regard
to circuit being formed the AS
sociation delegated Mr.. Andrew
King to accompany Mr.. Brown,
of Cooperstown, to visit num-
Der towns relative to forming this
circuit and ascertain just what
can be done in regard to the mat
ter. We have been unable to
learn just what has been done,
but from communications in Mr..
Browns possession, it looks fav-
orablc for a circuit being formed.
If the circuit is formed it will
more than likely be com posed of
the following towns !: Fargo, Coop
erstown, Hope, Page, Buffalo,an
perhaps Mayville and Portland.
The dates for the Cooperstown
races and fair have been fixed for,

kets for the Day and Past Week.
The Morning News Office,
Friday March 81.
The New York stock market was the
feature of the commercial situation to-
day, with declines general throughout
the list. Prices crumbled greatly for
the market to be devoid of public in
terest, and with the public, according
to the general understanding, not hold
ers of many securities upon margin.
1t was said that the declines probably
forecasted an unfavorable bank state
ment.
The cotton market closed some better
at both New York and New Orleans.
But the demand for spots does not i'm
prove, and the closing generally was
quiet, with transactions small. Offer
ings from the country were also light.
and continued so throughout the week.
There was plenty offering, but none
at prices within exporters limits. Eu-
rope is not manifesting eagerness for
cotton, nor did any demand assert it
self at any time during the week. The
sea island cotton market closed quiet,
but firm, with transactions in fair
volume. Resume of the markets for
the day and the week follow:

opened firm at CSC, sales LAB, and closed
firm and unchanged, no sales. Through
out the week the demand was good for
turpentine, though there was nothing
to either raise or. lower the market,
which kept upon an even keel. Tur-
pentine is wanted in all quarters, ac-
cording to observers, and particularly
is this the case at home. Building OPP
erations are going on generally, which
calls for large supplies from the paint
makers. The new crop is moving,
though not yet upon an active scale.
Savannah's receipts show no increases
yet The statistical statement for the
week appears below.
ROSINS-The rosin market closed
firm, with the demand during the week
all that could be expected. The offer
ings were quickly absorbed each day.
All grades appear to be in demand, and
the purchases are promptly forwarded
for consumption. 1t is expected the
foreign demand will develop upon a
larger scale soon, and this, with the
present domestic demand, promises TO
keep the market In a wholesome state.
Prices as follows:

enough for the scalpers, and they fur
nished what little - the ring had.
