NEW PATROL WAGON.
t VIII be Ready for Police Depart
 ment In a Few Days.

The new patrol wagon for the police de- pertinent has been completed and will be delivered as soon as the last coating of paint has dried which will be in few days.
 The wagon was voted to the department by the city council several months ago, and since that time it has been in the course of construction by H. Abel & Co. Yesterday Chief Wier went down to the shops and looked the wagon over. He expressed satisfaction and said that he thought 1t would be quite an improvement over the old style of wagon.
 The new wagon Is much lighter than the one now in use, and can be drawn by one horse. The present wagon requires two horses, ana this forces the depart ment to keep four horses for the wagon, two for the day and two for the night.

F. S. White, Governor Cunningham, Phares Coleman, Gen. w. W. Brandon, Governor Johnston, W. c. Davis, Sem ator Joel Goldsby and others. The prin- cipal speaking will take place in the Seventh district. but there will be rallies all over the state the effort being to get out as large a vote as possible.

the 1,l92,OOO carried over from last year N

py secretary Hester in his statement on
september l last it gives an aggregate
supply OF 11,S24000 Of American. -Assum-
ing the consumption to be about TO- 700, 600
1t will leave a surplus of 1,124,O00 Ameri-
can in the visible and invisible supply on
september l. 1904 From the above figures
1t will be seen that if the crop ranges
even as low as 1o,25OOO0 and the con-
sumption is as high as 100000 the Wis
ible and invisible supply of American will
be $4,000 on the first of next September.
We mention these facts, as 1t is well not
to let enthusiasm take possession of the
market when it Is to the interest Of
trade and the whole south to pursue an
extremely conservative policy, pending
the grave complications which may pos
sfbly take place from the war in the east
and European political disturbances. As
an evidence of this English consols de-
clined SIG and French rentes closed 165
points lower than yesterdays prices AMI
1t is rumored that panieky feeling is
prevalent In European financial centers,
owing to the Russian and French minis
tiers withdrawing suddenly from London
today, with view of going to st. Peters
burg. The inference is that the situation
must have taken a very bad turn to oc :
casion such action. While cotton on its
own merits is considered healthy and the
movement is light, 1t must be remembered
that the strong statistical position expect
ed to come off later in the season may
be realized, and yet, in the interim val
ues may seek lower level from want
of confidence, superinduced by interna-
tional complications. Under existing cir
cumstances we continue to advise eau
ton. and advocate having as little in
terest as possible either way

NO CHANGE SHOWN
IN STOCK MARKET
Everybody Wanted to Buy Only
on Declines
CLOSE WAS ABOUT STEADY
Sentimental Effect of the Decided
Upset in the Paris and Berlin
Bourses Was Very
Bright.

New York. February 20-The character
of the stock market showed no change to-
day from that of the whole week. The
effects of the day pressing factors were
very moderate and were well resisted
But once the depression was overcome,
all interest in the market abruptly ter
minated. There seemed to be waiting
demand for stocks on an ydecnes, but
no buyers were at hand to follow any adj
vance. The principal pressure upon the
market came from foreign sources. This
was wei absorbed and prices were at no
time down to the London parity.
The sentimental effect of the decided
upset in the Paris and Berlin bourses
was very slight. The severe declines on
the Paris bourses are attributed to inan-
cial needs. caused by the shrinkage in
Russian securities which are poor sale
at the present time. The special weak
ness of state funds in Paris might, how
ever, be due to intimate knowledge Of
diplomatic affairs not available to other
centers, which would explain its greater
sympa thetic effect on other foreign mar
kets.
The favorable bank statement was
help to the resistance TO depression. How
ever, the $1544,0O0 increase in cash was
not unexpected and is attributed to re-
turn of money from the south, where the
collapse in cotton speculation has de-
creased the immediate need. The loan
decrease is evidence that corporation Dor
rowings have been largely supplied out OF
the previous loan expansion.
The market closed about steady ana not
far from last nights level.
The falling off in the demand for money
in the country at large is not an alto
gether reassuring development In It's
bearing upon the rate of activity of bust
ness in general. The far eastern war and
the threat of complications in the far east
oyerhang the market, but are regarded as
of importance to this market principally
through the possible effects upon money
markets and the reflex effect here. Inc
adjustment of Baltimore fire losses mas
also come up for renewed consideration.
Bonds have been dull and heavy In
very narrow market. United States'3s and
the old is have advanced u per cent and
the 3s coupon Y per cent on call during
the week.

New York. February 20.-The market
ruled very irregular this morning. due to
war news and the failure of Liverpool to
advance In response to rise here. 1t was
an uncertain market from the start and
not one to trade very heavy in Over IA
cents the situation does not look as sound
and healthy as 1t did at lower prices.
From the action of the market, a good
deal of arbitrating bushes was done. On
the big break New York and Liverpool
came together. In one instance Liverpool
was actually lower than New York Then
on the tadvance, Liverpool gained so that
there was a difference of over 81 cent.
OF course this meant big money for those
who had straddled. Now these straddles
are being undone and at one time this
morning there was only is points differ
ence between Liverpool and New York.
Under these conditions, the situation is
too complicated to justify general trad
ing, There is big war on in the east
and the prospect of trouble in Europe
and a lot of things to be considered. I'm
der the circumstances we would rather
not buy cotton above IA cents, though our
ideas on the value of cotton on breaks
do not change We would take profits on
long cotton and not buy at present prices
though the market may easily have an
other whirl.
