that we can rest assured that their chill

with cordial hospitality.
But the citizenship of this country should
not be debased. 1t Is vital that we should
keep high the standard Of well-being
among our wage workers. and therefore
we should not admit masses of men whose
standards of living and whose personal Gus

lower the level OF the American wage work

man of an unworthy type. any man con-

The sudden strength was regarded here as con- firmation of damage reports and a result the demand became quite urgent during the latter part of the day.

WALL STREET REVIEW
TOTAL DEALINGS THE SMALL
 EST FOR YEARS.
In First Hour Shares Dealt in Amount to Only 3O,00o and Total for the Day is
 Only 73,S00.

New York. March 10.-Today's bust ness on the stock exchange was the smallest in years. The slight increase Jn the market animation thus far this weeG gave way to practical stagnation today When the record of the first hours bus mess known as only 30000 shares, some thirg like despair seized on all whose interests are dependent on the activity Of business in stocks. A large proper ton of the days business is done in the trst hour owing to the accumulation Ia ofhces of orders over night. This un- propitious outlook was fully borne out by the subsequent trading. There were long intervals of total idleness and some minutes between single transactions. The days sales were S6.0O0 shares on Au- gust 2. 1900, IS the low record for many 7S.scO shares. Blizzard" day in ISSS is cited as the nearest parallel. lProfe5- sional Wall Street entertains ve..y gloomy views of the outlook and the prospect of the closing of many broker age offices with the coming first O. May Is much discussed. There was some hope that the decisive improvement In iron trade conditions revealed by the Iron Ages monthly blast furnace statistics would revive some interest in the stock market. It proved to be worth 5-S os a point to U. s. Steel, preferred, which was only temporarily held. The falling off in domestic receipts goes to renew anxiety over the supply of cotton. The market was equally unresponsive to this unfavorable consideration. The opp"si- ton of officials of the miners union 10 the proposal for soft coal strike was regarded as encouraging from a stock market stanopoint. Foreign markets were reported to be stagnant also and the decline In sterling in Paris marked a change in the attitude of that center which has continued to invest in Loii- don paper during tho recent disturbances. The days changes in quoted values are not worth specifying.
 rhere was not such utter stagnation n bonds as In stocks. but that section was very dull and made no movement of importance. Total sales par value sI- l90;ooo U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

 NEW YORK. March lo.-There was bare ly steady opening to the cotton future market to-day. and first prices for the active de Iiveries showed lower tendency. There was quite a lot of selling for the account of longs desiring profits and the offerings from this source proved to be quite excessive The Engish market adVices were disappointing and served to encourage the bears. On the other hand, there were small figures to portray to- days receipts and the estimates regarding the movement during the balance of the week were rather bullish. The movement in the interior expected to show some consid- erable falling of There was better demand for spot cotton In the South and holders of ac- 4ual cotton were quite firm in their views The outside worked both sides Of the ac- count and on the better levels there was quite a lot of selling through commission and wire houses The general market was kept in a rather narrow range, but the trade as a whole seemed nervous and satisfied to turn either way, according to the character of the influence New Orleans was buyer for the saost part in the local market, but there was some selling by brokers for the account of

New Orleans Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. March lO.-Although the future cotton market was quiet to-day 1t had strong undertone that sustained prices, not withstanding the fact that there almost no outside support and that professionals were not inclined to do much buying. Bullish fac tors continued to outweigh bearish features. While the course of the Liverpool future mar ket was disappointing it was balanced by the continued strength and heavy trading in the spot market. Statistics continued as bullish as sever and in the face of them the bears continued to show little disposition to operate on the. short side The advance in Live-. pool spots with light receipts proved sriffi' cient to hold prices on quiet market. There was some liquidation but shorts did not offer much. in fact they showed more of dispn- sition to cover. It was rumored that freight room for great quantity of cotton had been secured and that large exports to Europe would soon be made
