THE r1ASS MEETING.

In another column of to-day.
issue of the BANNER will be found
the full proceedings of a mas:
meeting of the citizens Of the tow
Of Franklin, held on Thursday
night last; held TO, the purpose O
further discussing the quarantine
situation inaugurated here about
seven weeks ago and successfully
conducted thus far under the wise
firm and discreet management OF
the President of our local board OF
health. September is month in
which the force of all epidemics
Of yellow fever generally culmi-
mates, also it is the period when
the stegomyia fasciata mosquitoes
are more numerous and prolific.
1t was we'll therefore, that the peo-
pie should meet again to receive
from their committee Of safety and
health full account of their work
and to deliberate and decide
whether or not it is necessary in
this, the hour Of our gravest dam
ger, to increase our efforts and re-
double our energies by strength
ening our forces and by apply
ing a more rigid quarantine en-
forcement Of our quarantine reg
ulations. Not to change its nature,
but to make it. if possible, more
effective. The people of Franklin
in belief and action are in strict
accord with the scientific demon
stration Of the highest medical
authority that the stegomyia is
the only disscminator of the yell
low fever virus and are making
their fight on that line alone.
The meeting was attended by a
large number Of enthusiastic and
determined men, eager to do
everything necessary to carry on
to success the struggle for health
and safety in which they are en-
gagged. They provided for the APP
pointment Of a committee of
twenty-five men who are to act
under the management of the
president of the town board of
health-to assist him and advise
with him generally in all matters
relative to the maintenance Of the
quarantine. That committee met
last night, and the proceedings of
its meeting, published elsewhere,
are ample assurance that it's plan
Of action is admirable, and will
surely be effective and success
full if it receives the united effort
and assistance of the people in its
execution. This committee de-
cided to have paid guards, and
selected an executive comm ittee
composed Of the following gem
Judge A. G. Allen, H. w.
Kappel, r. E. Keenze, James A.
Peterman and w. H. Kramer, who !
with the president of the board Of
health, will have charge Of all
matters appertaining to the pro-
viding of ways and means in
securing funds to defray the
expenses Of the quarantine. 1t will
AXE about $1,000 to maintain the
quarantine until the 18th day of
October, and every citizen of
Franklin who has the interest of
lis town at heart should not fail
o give his mite to this laudable
purpose.
Men Of Franklin, the danger
nat hovers around us, though UNI
cen, is deadly. 1t is a danger
:hich, when it comes, comes to

Lo1eman & Co.'s Market Letter. By H. 6 R. Beer

The stock market was very irregular today. The opening was at slightly higher range of prices followed by a sharp ad- vance throughout the list Copper gained about per cent. St. Paul 1s4 per cent. Atchison 2A per cent Brooklyn, 11R per cent and the balance of the list from F to l per cent. Near the close, however, there was selling wave, and prices eased off sharply.
 The uptown party generally took the position that the reaction that set in Friday would end today. Sentiment with respect to the market continues optimis- tic and conservatism Is recommended Talk regarding the United States Steel stocks seem to be as enthusiastic as last week. Decidedly higher prices for preferr- ed are confidently spoken of and it is expected that common will sell considera- ply above 40. Railway equipment stocks are still well regarded and It's is intimat- ed that locomotive common will sell much higher yet on great business being done. Well informed railroad men have no au- thentic information regarding the purpose of the Union Pacific issue of $1O0,0OO 900 new preferred stock but there seems to be well defined Idea that as soon as Northern Securities s.fsets are distribut- ed big deal will be announced in which Urion Pacific will be the most prominent company.

ing the hours of trading. but expecta- tion was very confident of its favorable character, owing to the higher condition reported recently by authorities of the different states This was influence in keeping down the price of wheat as 1t was of holdink up the price of granger railroad stocks. It is not probable. how ever. that the desire to see the official figures hand its influence in prompting the waiting attitude of the trading The expectation of an early sea fight in the east was clearly an influence In the same direction, and caused some selling of stocks more here for foreign account on any advances. Foreign exchange made another advance. Money continued rather firm and loaned call again at i per cent. The days rather laborious and rather uneven strength was uneonvinc ing to sentiment, and gave place to abrupt reaction in the last half hour. The unload ing of stocks was supposed to be due in part to the unsettemept in the Chicago wheat market The closing was irregu- lar.
 Bonds were about steady. Total sales, par value, $3700,00O
 United States bonds were all unchanged on call

FLUCTUATIONS ARE RATHER NARROW Net Changes in Cotton Are In-
 significant OPENING WAS UNCHANGED Slight Gain Early In the Day Attracted Selling Orders From New Or
 leans and the Market
 Soon Lost.
OPENING WAS UNCHANGED

New York, April 10.-The cotton mar ket was very quiet with tiuctatons mar row and the net changes insignificant. The opening was steady at unchanged prices to an advance of points in re- sponse to steadier cables than expected, and some talk of possible wet weather in the southwest. But the gain. slight as it was, attracted selling orders from New Orleans, and local professions, and the market soon lost the gain following which it ruled generally quiet and ir regular, within a range of to 3 points of Saturdays finals. The close was quiet and steady, with September one point higher, and other months ? points lower. Sales futures estimated 75,OoO bales. It was reported here that the leader in last years bull combination has inserted advertisements in the southern papers advising farmers to reduce their acre age and this was taken by some as mean ing that a fresh bull movement was be- ing planned If so, nothing in the days market indicated it, and the general situ- alton seemed to be underging no change.
 Receipts at the ports today 3l09 bales, against 4S03 last week. and 3252 last year. For the week (estimated) 160.000 against 190, 499 last week. and 27.250 last year. Todfys receipts at New Orleans. S462 against 1057 last year, and at Houston, 6625 against HAS last year.
