ing after the market had closed yes
terday. But these stocks showed a
good recovery when the general
strength developed. The vagaries of
the price movement aroused growing
suspicion, especially the feverish f1uct-
nations in Louisville and Nashville
and the sudden subsistence at inter-
walls of the active buying movements.
The market had already become
shaky when the news was published
of the declaration of only the regular
dividend on Norfolk and Western.
There has been extensive speculation
based on hopes of an increase and the
unloading of disappointed holders
carried that stock points under last
night and broke the whole market.
The closing was weak and without
effective recovery.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, April 26.-The spot

lack Of offerings. Much of the spot
cotton traded in recently has been of
low grade purchased for delivery on
May contracts. Sales 2,240 bales, in
Guiding lao to arrive. Quotations I'M
changed.
Futures opened 4 to s points up
but heavy selling soon sent prices
down.. May opened 4 points up at
&c, and declined 8 points to 691; July
opened 6 points up at 703 and sold
down 10 points to 500. Later in the
session prices improved on heavy buy
ing of May by large operators The
market was also supported by the COW
ering of shorts and at times it looked
as if scalpers who had been playing
the short side were turning about and
attempting to get profits from the
long side. The closing was firm with
net gains of to S points.

New York, April 26.-The dry goods
market shows slightly more con-

tiles in raw cotton. but no change in
the attitude of sellers is noticeable,
the sold-up condition of lines being

BICYCLE THEFT CAUGHT.

From The Daily Item. Dec. I.
Several days ago Mr.. 3. F. Estridge
lost his bicycle, and Immediately no.
tilted the police Of it's disappearance.
Nothing more was heard of the wheel
until yesterday, when phone mes
sage was received from Summerton by
Chief j. K. Bradford, informing him
of the peculiar conduct Of a negro
who had recently arrived in the town,
and who was making repeated efforts
to dispose of bicycle. The descrip-
tor of the bicycle was given, which
Chief Bradford thought tailed suf-
fciently we'll with that OF Mr. Es-
tridge's to warrant the arrest of the
negro.
Immediately upon his arrest, ana
when the negro saw visions Of prlso:2
life he tainted instantly and has e7ar
since been trying to keep up the bluff.
He says that ne does not know his
name, and acts in the most ridiculous
ly absurd manner He will possibly
come to his proper senses after a icw
weeks Of confinement.
