The singing in the great tab

conld have been expected; In
fact it was the best that has
ever been produced in the City
of Monroe. Prof. 9. P. Curry
is an adapt in his profession,
and he drilled the united choirs
of the churches until the hun.
dred or more voices produced
such music that 1t would seem
that the angels would hush
their singing to listen at earth
sing the praises of the King of
Glory. 1t was remarked by
many time apd again that they
had never heard the equal
of the music given us in the
meeting by Prot. Curry and his
great choir. Long may be live
to sing and help others to sing
the Gospel into the hearts of
men, women and children.
The Evangelist closed his
meeting Monday night after

cothran & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

BY c. W. Lee e. Co.
New York, March 22.-The decline today
was quite to be expected following the
sharp advance of yesterday and Satur-
day, 1t is not unlikely that the price may
work some lower In the unsettled condi-
lions which now prevail. This need not
surprise any one.
But this does not mean that cotton is
sale for lower Ieices. Spot people report
a good business at 14e, and below and un-
der these conditions will be difficult to
depress futures below the level of actual
stuff for more than a temporary period
Every one has been hurt by the failure,
and those who have lost do not feel very
much like turning bull and buying. They
don't feel like selling, and the result is
narrow market Receipts are larger and
Liverpool is weak.
There is a lot of spot cotton here in New
York which must be sold before long, and
the weight of distress cotton is likely
to make a very ragged market for some
time.
Some people have expressed surprise at
the failure of most houses to recognize
the danger overhanging the market. We
think the list Of creditors will show that
the suspension was the most unthought Of
thing in the history of the exchange.
Even the men who were short the most
only looked for a decline of half or three
quarters of a cent. Some talked 1oc as the
extreme. Now the speculative position has
received blow and all trading must be
cautious.

Subsequently shorts covering caused an
Improvement q to g, but the continued
free receipts al the ports and interior
towns and the relative increase in stock
at these points. combined with the easier
feeling in spots. superinduced "A break of
46 to 49, Near the close values steadied
slightly on room trading evening up, maxi
ing the net loss 50 to IS points on old crop
months and ~ to 50 on the new.
Yesterday we called attention to the fact
teat the market had advanced about 40
points since the break on Friday, and that
1t was questionable whether spinners
would follow the improvement. The &C
ton Of today's market shows that deliv-
cries were rushed up too quickly
If steadness could be maintained at
the existing level, exporters claim spin
ners would be free buyers of spots. The
movement. however, is on a more liberal
scale than anticipated, and stocks at the
ports and interior towns continue to show
a relative increase. As an offset TO these
features the census bureaus estimate Of
the crop will be issued next Friday, and
as it is generally expected to be around
100000 bales, 1t Is thought 1t will have
a stimulating effect on values. The move
ment, though on its face points to a
crop of about 10.500.000 What is needed
to impart confidence Is a good spot de-
mand The future course of values will
continue to be regulated by Liverpool, re-
ceipts and the demand for spots.

Chicago March 22-Wheat-The senti-
ment in the wheat pit this morning was
distinctly bullish. The professional ele-
ment were all on that side, but they re-
ceived little assistance from the outside
There was much in the news contributing
to be more optimistic tone. Gables were
firm. Duluth Is reported buying back
wheat sold for shipment at the opening
of navigation at the best prices of the
season. The best prices were not main
tanned because of realizing late in the
session.
Corn was without friends today. The
only assistance this market received was
the influence OF the early strength in
wheat. Pit traders were bearish to a
man and attacked July. The situation
exhibits no signs of Improvement. We
advise sale of July on the buges. Liv-
erpool closed unchanged for the day.
Oats were dull and featureless during
the early trading. AS the selling of corn
became more pronounced and that cereal
turned weak, considerable pressure was
put upon the values and the market rul-
ed weak Receipts were 90 cars, II of
which would grade.
Provisions-The tone of the provisions
was much improved today. The steady
liquidation has cleared the way for bull
effect. The officers Of the past few days
have gone into good hands. Shippers
have been buyers of May, particularly Of
lard which is indicative of a cash de-
mand. Lard and ribs scored an advance
for the day, pork ruling easier. Packing
is evidently adverse to seeing product
sell on parity with hogs.

New York, March 22.-Todays stock
market was a turmoil of extensive manip-
ulation with a special drive against the
shorts in all the issues connected with
the railroad situation between Missouri
river and Pacific Coast. The most i'm
portant movement was in Union Pacific
which advanced over seven per cent
Southern Pacific rose three per cent but
this appeared to be largely sympathetic.
The movements In these stocks did not
begin until after Northern Securities on

Great Northern preferred had risen five
points. The street was flooded with ru-
mors connected with the Northwestern
situation. II was said the Union Pacific

ket and that the final possession OF the

termined by whatever interests controlled

RUMOR The. CAUSE
Of HEAVY SELLING
Creditors File Petition Against
SulIy & Co
RALLIES SOMEWHAT LATER
Opening Declines Were Rather More
Severe Than Warranted BY the
Cables, Which Were SEN
satlonaIiy Weak.

New York, March 22.--The cotton mar
ket opened weak at decline of 81 to As
points on the old and of 10 to q points
on the new crop positions under re-
newal OF heavy liquidation based chiefly
on disappointment over the reports of an
unsatisfactory settlement Of the sully
failure. The opening declines were rath-
er more severe than warranted by the
cables, which, however, were sensation
ally weak and on the call May exhibited
even greater weakness, selling down
from 1885, the first price, to 1865.
1t was evident, however, that some
strong interests were on hand to support
the market and shortly after the call,
the first wave of liquidation having sub
sided somewhat, prices steadied few
pointn with July relatively firm, selling
up to 1896, while May hung around 1874.
Just as the situation seemed to have cool
ed DOWN somewhat, the announcement
that certain of Sully's creditors had filed
a petition against the firm of d. j..
sully and company in involuntary bank
ruptcy, there was a renewal of heavy sell
ing that apparently came from both ac-
counts, and which was perhaps all the
heavier because receipts looked large at
all points.
Before this decline was checked July
had been carried down to 1874, net de-
cline of from 81 to &C points on this posi-
ton. Again the market was rallied a
few points by covering Snd some buying
thought to be for the account of spin
ming and spot interests, but could not
hold the advance, in the late trading the
general ruling was weak with prices
going still lower. May sold down to 1873
and July to 1857 and while the market
was finally steady. prices were only a few
points up from the lowest. The net de-
cline was matter of 80 to 10 points.
Sales estimated at 100000 bales. The
southern spot markets as officially re-
ported tonight were nominaly unchanged
to 9sc lower.
The receipts at the ports today were
16.197 bales, against 10977 last week. and
S,71S last year. For the week 10000 bales
against 64,645 last week, and s9,540 last
year. Today's receipts at New Orleans
were $3.50 bales, against 1912 last year,
and at Houston 2730, against 3402 last year.

bull leader. Liverpool showed some alarm
over the development in the affair. and
furnished the local trade a disagreeable
surprise by a drop of 10 to q English
points. The alarm was even more pro-
nounced in New York, and 1T was not
at all surprising that local traders should
betray great uneasiness, although their
financial interest in the failure is compar-
atively small. Few traders cared to go
long at such an unsettled time, and al
though prices showed sensational declines
at the opening, and gave longs another
chance to get in at the bottom the gen
eral run of bull traders preferred to wait
until the Sully business had been settled
before operating The market opened
easier and 20 to 70 points lower than the
close of yesterday. In the trading the
fluctuations were violent and numerous.
July first lost 70 points to 14.04, advanced
to 1427. declined to 1410 recovered to
