MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York March 2I.-The movement al
tGdayss stock market was in a large part
| a working cut of conditions established
last week. rather than a response to any
| new events bearing on values. The action
OF the market. today, was looked 10 as
a sort of test of the character Of last
weeks strength. The opening of q week
following such an advance as that of last
| is likely to show an accumulation Of buy
| ing orders in commission houses as a re-
suit of the larger interval of the Sunday
holiday, the special influence of weekly
letters from Wall street houses to the
clients and the natural disposition to sum
up results with the turn of a week But
for the very reason that stirring of pub
lie interest in the market is likely to make
itself seen first on a Monday morning the
professional traders. long of stock stocks
are keenly awake to any profits accruing
on their holdings by the absorption power
of the Monday demand. The rule proved
itself in most details, today. There was
sufficient demand to cause higher open
ing. this morning. and to sustain prices
firmly during the active market of the
first hour Thereafter the market Ian
guished and attempts to renew the adj
vance met with indifferent success. The
heavy pressure to sell United States Stee!
preferred was of especial influence in
bringing about a reaction.
Further rains in the winter wheat belt
helped to sustain the grangers in the
early market but did not save them from
the late reaction. There was sufficient de-
mand for Northern Securities on the curb
to lift it nearly points over Saturday
The recovery in the cotton market was
a safeguard against further damage b.
speculative losses there. Western rail
road officials spoke in rather Cheerful,
terms of the traffic outlook, but theiI
influence was overcome by the aSSer-
tiCn of President Melen of the New
Haven road that there had been a SlumI
in business in New England TO Il degree
that called for large curlailment in rail
road service.

and that so far as is known. no grad
, uate of either institution has ever been
guilty of the crime against women
There is no argument against facts
like these"
Facts. however. are not what Gov
ernor Vardaman is after. When has
he ever yet attempted to support any
of his radical assertions with proof?
Indeed. he has been exceedingly anx-
:ous to dodge records because they did
not sustain his contentious. 1t is ev:-
dert that reactionary sentiment IS
now trying in the South to sweep tn"
negro race back again as far as pos
sible towards the conditions existing
prior to the Civil War. Such ii policy
can have no possible hope of perma-
nent success. Slavery is a thing of the
past. The negro is in the South. ard
he is there to stay Indeed nothing
has pceii more thoroughly deflloli-
strated during the past year than the
fact that he is absolutely essential to
the economic life of that section. He
performs the great bulk OF manual
labor in the Southern states. and Ma
ture has given him an ability to with
stand physically climatic conditions
that the white race cannot successfully
contend against. The South cannot
spare, him. and We're he to seriously
contemplate leaving. it would be the
hrst to protest against the move.
Such being the fact. we hope and
trust that the better spirit of the South
will assert itself in this matter; that
love of justice may triumph over race
prejudice and that broader views will
prevail in the years to come than is the
case at the present time.
