HALLOWEEN
 ENTERTAINMENTS.

Monday, October 31st, was Halloween, the time wher ghosts, witches and fairies are supposed to be walking the earth and in various ways give mortals an idea of the future.
 This night was we'll observed in Newport, there being three Halloween entertainments, and many were the youths and mai dens who looked into mirrors and counted apple seeds, trying to get peep into the future.
 Probably the most elaborately planned social function on this night was the one given by MT. and Mrs. A. T. Hubby at their pretty home on Hazel street. The decorations, which were very elaborate, were of autumn leaves and red berries. The lights were placed in pumpkins, in which uncanny designs had been carved, which made the occasion seem all the more serious.
 After the many usual Hal lowe'en pleasures were indulged in, dancing was enjoyed by those present until a late hour. Misses Irma Wolf and Hazel Jones pre- sided at the punch bowl during the evening, gwhile1 the hostess, assisted by Mesdames J. c. Her ron and Baxter Watson, served a delightful course lunch.
 Among those present were Misses Laura Johnson, Louise Irby, Sue Armstrong, Jamie Ste- phens, Tillie Sprigg, Lula Wolf, Jennie McCauley and Aubrey Arnold, Messrs. George Ste- phens, Ed Sprigg, Ernest Me- Donald, Curry Stephens, Sprigg Foushee, Ira Erwin, Charles Holmes, Tom billiard, H. o. Powell, Ralph Richardson and w. c. Daniel.
 Miss Mary and Joe Younger entertained about twenty-five of their young friends with a Hal lowe'en party Monday evening, at which time all the sports con- nected with Halloween were in .dulged in by the young people present.
 Though this merry sport dates back to ancient organism, we find the young folks of today trying their fortunes in much the same fashion, and those who laugh at the witches broom stick are nevertheless trying to ride it.
 All present on this occasion hao 8 delightful time and enjoyed the delicious refreshments served by the young host and hostess.
 Miss Minnie Minor entertained with a Halloween party Monda. evening, an admission of tel cents being charged. the pro ceeds going, to St. Paul's church
 The home of the little hostes was beautifully decorated flo this occasion, everything bein! made to look as scarry as possl ble. A wigwam was made in tn room, in which was an old gyps who told of the many good thing that were to come to all present
 The little folks were preser in large numbers, and were a masked which made the occasio very pleasant affair.

DECISION STILL
 EAGERLY AWAITED Rumor, However, Has Little
 Effect on Stocks. ANOTHER DAY OF APATHY stagnation During Afternoon Became More Apparent Than That at Any Time Since Daii-
 ness Set In.
ANOTHER DAY OF APATHY

New York, March 9.-There were only a few little eddies to stir the otherwise stagnant surface of today's stock mar ket. During the afternoon the apathy and neglect of the market became more pro- found than at any time since the present dull period has set in. Some evidence of an attempt on the part of professional traders was apparent.
 It seems to have occurred to these as- ute traders that the Northern securi- ties case has proved the single factor that has proved able to stir the market, and that only on the last two days, of the week with a reaction after the sitting of the supreme court on Monday To cor rect the limitation of this influence, a theory has been set afioat that the court may abandon its routine in this case and hand down the decision unexpectedly on some other than the regular decision day on Monday.
 But this talk proved of small effect, and the market was befogged In uncertainty and lethargy There seems to be no in- ducement to buy stocks with the uncer- tainties over the market, and there Is no necessity to sell holdings with call loans obtainable at below per cent. There was feeble rebound early today from the closing weakness of yesterday. Favorable progress was reported in the London settlement, except for some sell ing of Kaffirs for early account.
 The uncertainty of the situation at Paris Is an element in the haltng tendency of of rlx xatG from light SDeculd- tive holdings the widely held Russian se- curities of the French people have not come largely to mark since the outbreak of the war. There is a dread that military reserves would lead to such an outpour- ing of these as might disocate the money and securities market again. Cotton was up and wheat and corn were down today, but there was no other indication Of any effect from war news. The continued pres sure on Pennsylvania was the leading in- fluence on the market, and served to keep alive the rumors of further capital issues. New ork Centrals poor showing of gross earnings for February was contribute ing factor.
 Damage by floods gave promise also of future effect on earning reports The southwestern drouth was reported un- broken No plan of settlement was forth coming, for the rate wars, either in the west or east the progress of the rate cut ting in the west having reached stage where some of the business is done prac- tically free of charge. There was talk of some improvement in steel business, and United States Steel stocks were reia- lively firm. Changes generally are insig- nifcant.
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales. par value, $1, ,a6O, 900. United states ponds were unchanged on call.

caldwell 6 ward,s oO.tOn Letter.

By H. 6 B, Beer.
 New Orleans, March 9-Idverpool ad- vices were much more favorable than ex- pected, consequently our market in sym pathy opened 46 to 51 points higher, short ly after. though realizing occasioned a decline of II to IA points from the top. This however was only temporary, because the continued light port and interior receipts, the small estimated receipts at New Dr. leans, Galveston and Houston for tomor- row and the frmness of spots caused an advance of 20 to p points from the bottom, making tho net gain 56 to 57 points on the day.
 The sharp advance in Liverpool was att tributed to the issuance of a bullish circu- lar by Messrs Neill Bros. of London today, reducing their crop estimate from Il 900 OOO to 10 100000 bales. Tn addition to this heavy buying by America and the continent on the strong statistical position accelerated the improvement. Our Liverpool corre- spondents cable us that their market feels the influence of the position of cotton on its own merits Is healthy. Supplies made quate for wants of consumers. Present movement not speculative but due to legit- imate causes. Think the market is in a strong position. There is no doubt that Liverpool is very builish and if spinners continue to buy spots freely there and in America, the chances are values will seek a higher level.

Caldwell 6 Wards Grain Letter.

Bartlett, Frazier & Darlington.
 Chicago, March s.--Market irregular to- day. The weakness was pronounced in the course grains and this depressed pro- visions. Wheat, on the other hand, dis played a strong tendency to do better. The urgent liquidation appears to be over while in the coarse grains, 1t seems to be only fairly started. We feel friend ly to wheat and believe the cash position and possibly an export demand will help the future.
 Wheat-The weakness in corn and oats, and the forecast for some precipitation in the southwest lost wheat another one cent near the opening On the decline the buying was good and the cash news helped to maintain a stronger tone. The map this morning showed no precipita- tion through the southwest. Estimated cars, 30.
 corn-Liquidation appeared in corn shortly after the opening and carried prices off with rush which lost the May and July options about cents a bushel in very few minutes of furious trading. While prices braced up for a time and trade became normal, the tone was weak Liverpool was Ac higher The local cash market was Mc to 1c lower for the better grades, while low grades ruled steady. Estimated tomorrow 1so
 Oats-Market was quiet on the whole but weak with long stun coming out all day on the firm spots. The cash market was 1c bushel lower. Estimated tomor- row, 225.
 Provisions-The buliish character of the statistical news which included lighter hog receipts. higher prices at the yards and heavy shipments of meats and lard, gave the market an opening advance. The public appeared willing to take hold again but professional pounding and the corn weakness had depressing effect. Losses as compared with the previous close were not serious Estimated re- ceipts tomorrow. 270o0.

New York. March S.-stocks were irreg- 'ular today. Bears hammered prices indus triously without doing much damage. Some parts of the list looked oyersold. Steel preferred. The Northern Securities case continues the chief topic of discus sion. It is plainly the governing factor
 We think there Is nothing in the immedi- ate future but a trading market and would scalp only little until something definite decides matters We believe the standard active issues purchases on drives for turns If liquidation Is forced 1t will change mat ters somewhat, but there is no necessity in crossing the bridge until we get there
