the signal of victory should the adjutant
stop at the proper place.
The March of the Adjutant.
He turned to the left and then to the
right He went between the companies of
the 1st and I'd Battalions, going clear to
the rear where Company B of the Central
was on one side and Campany f of the
Eastern on the other. For moment he
paused, and some Jealous and excited East
ern rooters thought he had turned their way
and started the cheering. But an instant
later the whole Central portion of the
grandstand rose and waved and yelled, and
the Fasteners saw their error. Central
rooters literally went wild for the time.
while all others lapsed into the silence Of
disappointment.
The Ovations Last Night.
The cadets of the schools were also given
an ovation last evening and made to feel in
good spirits in spite of their failure. AS
usual the girls had prepared feasts for
them. and when these were partaken of by
tired and hungry young soldiers, dancing
was begun and lasted far into the night.
Central continued it's celebration of vic
tory today. The principal and teachers
tried in vain to make the students recite
their lessons. They had something they
considered more important TO do, and
would not listen to entreatteS to be good.

drills of the Washington High schools since
their beginning are follows: Company A,

When Central Won Before.
The Central High School has won the
banner nine times before In sixteen drills.
Company c, then of this school and COM
manded by Capt. William c. Sheperd, won
the prize for it the last time in 1901. Com
pany 3 has been the prize company once
before, when commanded by Capt. James
M Churchill in 1900.
Capt. Edward l.. Kelly is one of the
most popular boys of his school and the
success of his company is said to be large
ly due to the great earnestness and de-
termination ne put llllO the pTdCtlce uTliIS
during the year. 1t is said he went in
with no thought of anything but victory
and inspired his men with his courage and
seriousness. His early training cadet
was received in Company G. then of the
Eastern High School. When his family
changed their residence from Capitol Hill
to the northwest section of the city young
Kelly left the Eastern and went to the
Cenral where he soon took rank with the
best drilled boys in the successive COM
panes to which he belonged. The cadets
of all the schools admire Capt. Kelly, and
in some measure at least are glad of his
victory.
If the crowd that witnessed the drill of
the first five companies Wednesday after
noon was large that at the ball park yes
terday was enormous Not a seat was
vacant: the aisles were density thronged,
and SwarmS of students and their friends
went to and fro behind the grandstand, un-
able to gain admittance. portion of the
fence at the rear of the park was down,
and here hundreds of little boys who had
no tickets of admission gathered to witness
the end of the contest. A conservative es-
innate of the numbers at the field would
probably be about 1900, exclusive of the
cadets. who numbered over half thousand.
Prominent Persons Present.
Many of the boxes were occupied by per-
sens prominent in local affairs, including
the Commissioners of the District of Co
lumbia, a. T. Stuart, superintendent of

counted for before, because of the fact that
there were nine other companies to con-
tend against for the first time in the his
tory of the cadet regiment. 1t is recognized
that many OF the other nine went through
their numbers on the drill field with re-
markably few errors and that the contest
was not easily won, but this only added to
the honor in the eyes OF the victors.

prices into new low ground. July
around 1920 attracted some support,
but New Orleans continued selling, the
news of the break spreading through
the country brought in fresh selling
orders from commission house clients
and with hardly a pause July sold
down to BLOC a decline of 35 points
from the highest point of the morn
ing and of over half a cent from the
high point of the week.
The decline was accompanied by no
little excitement and trading was

lied prices a few points and July
closed around 1331c. The final tone
was steady, but it was evident that the
undercurrent was very nervous and
unsettled with the rally restricted by
apprehensions as to the effect of the
break on Liverpool tomorrow. Re-
ceipts continue very light and the
weather map indications during the
day were hardly favorable. On the
other hand exports continue light.

COTTON.

New York, May is, 1904 take this
means of replying to the many in
quiries am receiving in regard to the
cotton market. For some days have
been expecting in view of the small
visible supply, that some demand from
spinners would develop on the basis
of 49, soc for July contracts in New
York 1t does not make its appearance,
however. and the short time movement
has apparently progressed so far that
manufacturers are disinclined to re-
sumo operations until the new crop
shall become available on basis in
harmony with the present prices for
goods.
Meantime the reports that reach me
indicate a condition of extreme de-
moralization in the dry goods mar
ket, consequent upon the heavy stocks
and utter lack of demand. This, with
further accentuated by apprehension
over the auction sale of Sweetser. Penn
broke & Co.'S entire stock of goods
valued at about $l,500,0O0, which is 10
be held next Monday. Should this, as
it is feared, establish new low record
prices 1t would put the manufacture
ing houses upon a still more unprof-
tablA basis than at present, and further
restrict the very light demand for
cotton.
While ! do not advise short selling
in view of the possibilities of manipu-
lation only the hope of this manipula-
ton justified the expectation of higher
prices. Theodore H. Price.-ad.

Savannah, Ca, May 12.-Cotton
opened steady, 4 points lower to 4
higher. The new crop displayed rela-
tive strength in consequence of the
less favorable Interpretation which
was given to the weather conditions.
Private advices from the belt in this
connection were quite interesting, in
that it was feared that the tempera-
lures were too low, while the excessive
moisture in some sections was as dam
aging as the drought conditions in
others.
The cables were about as expected,
and they had little effect on the mar
ket. On the lower prices there was
some little support, but the improve
ments were contested, in that there
was continued selling by shorts, while
the professional bears continued per-
sistent in their efforts to bring about
lower prices.
Trade as a whole was moderately
active, and local interest figured for
the bulk of the operations. Fluctua-
tons in the last part of the day was
rather narrow. On the close there was
a mixed feeling, with the professionals

Cotton Letter to Hayward, Wick q

New York. May 1S.-Since the Sully
failure on March is. holders of cotton
have sold practically nothing, for the
reason that they have not been able to
obtain the prices desired. The sales
previously made around II cents, and
confident predictions of the same or
higher prices before the end of the sea-
son, caused them to withdraw their
cotton from the market, and spot bust
ness has therefore practiC ally been at
a standstill ever since.
Spinners, as is well known have pur-
sued the hand to mouth policy ASST.

The universal increase in acreage and
fertilizers, coupled with a cons .derabiy
better average condition than at this
time last year. ourage the hope of
a much better yield than we have ha |
for several years past. With this pros
pect in their eyes, some holders have
given UP hopes OF a return to high
prices, while others impelied by the
need of funds to cultivate their grow
ing crops, are fore ed to sell part OF
their holdings whether willing or nos.
There was a good deal of liquidation
of July longs to-day, which caused an
extreme decline of 80 points from which
there has been a recovery of 10.

New York, May 1S.-Every condition
to-day has been favorable to a decline
in the price of cotton market. Gables
this morning reported a break of 20
points, with a general decline of the
whole list, and in sight of the re-
Gently encouraging cables, it looked
as though the. whole crowd was bear
ish. The New York market has in
a way followed New Orleans and
Liverpool, the former rejecting the
very unsatisfactory conditions of the
American spot markets.
The market was quite demoralized at
times, and the New Orleans bulls fail
ed to give looked for support. The
distressing feature is the uncertainty
and the uneasy feeling of spot hold
ers in the South; if they should lose
heart and begin to turn loose there,
there would undoubtedly be a further
serious break in the near months.
Some suggest that there will be good
buying around Is cents, for July, but
there is nothing visible now to en-
courage the belief that spinners will
take hold for sometime.
