Call Money 80 Per Cent.

More vigorous efforts were made to bring out
the long stock after the foreign operations
ceased, and there was q simultaneous drive
against all the stocks that had proved particu-
larly vulnerable. The fan in Amalgamated Cop
per to .1O4 contributed largely to unsettling
sentiment, and the 30 per- cent call money rate
also discouraged the retention Of speculative
holdings. Pacific Coast fell ~, Locomotive,

Uncertainty was the keynote of the early mar
ket and was illustrated by rapid and wide
changes in many stocks. At period the
stocks that opened higher were relinqushing
their gains while the weak features were re-
covering their losses. Later the movement was
reversed. A downward tendency prevailed at the
close of the first hour when the 40 per cent

aoosEvElT's LIncoLM SPEECH.

President Roosevelt's Line n
speech met with very warm well
come and responsive echo in most
of the southern newspapers.
We have already printed what the
Times-Union said about it, and here
are the comments of the New Or
leans Times-Democrat:
There are some minor points in the
speech in which the whole people of
the south do not agree with him, but
on the chief propositions laid down
by him all can unite, and he proposes
broad platform, adapted to the
south as well as the north. His speech
throughout is patriotic and national,
that sectionalism with which he was
credited. Its tone is friendly, and
the good wishes he expresses for the
south, the sympathy for it i'll the
difficult problems it has to solve and
his strong protest against any inter
ference that would tend to render
these problems more difficult, should
be md will be appreciated by the
southern people. II he can persuade
the party whose head he is to follow
the line he lays down, the race prob
lem, freed from sectional or political
complications, can be brought to
than we had hoped for, and with far
less friction

INDUSTRIOUS AND FAITHFUL.

On retiring from congress, the
Washington Post speaks eloquently
of the work of Hon. r. W. Davis. 1t
says:
"a veteran southern democrat,
who has done his state faithful ser
vice, retires to private life in the person
of REPRESENTATIVE Robert w Davis of
Florida. Small as the delegation from
Florida is, it has been one of the
most industrious from the south in do
ing things for Florida people. Since
Mr.. Davis entered congress eight
years ago Florida's two senators and
two members have secured many
hundreds of thousands of dollars for
river and harbor improvements, a
number of good public buildings, and
have collected from the government
over million dollars for an old In
diam war claim.
''As one of the hardest workers i'll
congress, Mr.. Davis contributed his
share toward the well-known success
es of his delegation He has spoken
seldom. but always to the point, and
never for buncombe- The retiring
Florida member has made no enemies
during his four terms, and his friends
are many on both sides of the center
aisle. He is one of the few men III
the house whose return to private lite
will be lost to the careful and bust
ness-like consideration of legisla-

a New and Brilliant Orb.

The Florida Sun, an afternoon
newspaper printed in Jacksonville, is
fast forging itself to the forefront of
Florida newspap ers~ and promises to
gid the entire literary heavens.
1t is installing the Iars est and most
rapid perfecting press ever brought
TO the state; six new linotype
machines; has engaged the services
OF Mr. \. X. Taylor. FIorida's popu-
lar cartoonist, and Is putting itself in
shape TO give to the people of the
state a modern afternoon newspaper
after the latest cut and fashion,
Jacksonville is growing, tine state
is growing, the taste for newspaper
reading is growing, and the Florida
Sun, being cleverly and UNANIMOUSLY
edited, will add to the zest and desire
for newspaper literature and instead
of curtailing, our judgment is that it
will increase the subscription list of
its contemporaries, while swelling its
own.
The Sun will soon have a big
special edition in celebration of its
new outfit
