We are all anxious to build city

it is for all. Money spent at home
circulates in the locality and does
every body good. A few men
working on good salary that spend
their money freely are of more ben

boards his money and loans it a
usnrious rate.

RICKSECKER IN THE CLEAR

Mr.. Rickseckcr, city engineer,
says he is not to blame for the frog
pond on West main. Says The set
the stakes properly and established
a true grade but the council took
the matter out of his hands. All
the councilmen we have interviewed
in the matter say they were opposed
to the change in the grade. We
have not had an opportunity to in
terview the members from the west
side. Possibly they demanded the
change of grade and are perfectly
satisfied with the street in its pre-
sent condition.
We used to hear good deal
about Jim Orr running things on
the west side when 1t come to
streets and sidewalks. Possibly
Mr.. Orr thought the present con-
dition desirable and hoodoed the
other members into the change. If
that be the status we would like to
ask Mr.. Orr If be likes the present
condition. II he did fall down on
his engineering plains IN this case,
wonder if he is willing to admit his
error?

A CLOUD OF SUSPICIOUS DIsTRUsx
 BREAKS WITH VIOLENCE.
Decline, Contested in Earlier Stages. Cath CTS Force as It Ppgreeses-Specu-
 lators' Position Vulnerable.

New York, April 20.--The cloud of sus- plcion and distrust which has been gath ering over the stock market during the whole of the week broke today with some violence The decline was contested in the early stages, but it gathered force as 1t was extended. The quick exhaustion of the buy ing demand on the occasional rallies was sufficient evidence to the professional trad CTS.
 The speculators' position was stili vul- nerable. They returned to the attack ac- cordingly again and on each successive slump the weight of offerings dislodged was greater. The market proved to be honey combed with stop loss orders which have been greatly increased as the confidence in the stability of the market was impaired The amount of the decline was sufficient also to wipe out some of the margins ot the more substantial class and in all cases of speculative holdings to impair the mar gin to such an ,,. extent as ,,n to leaa to very

 Northern Securities on the curb fell to the low level of Tuesdays break and it will be observed that the transcontinentai stocks and those connected with them in the deal rumors were the principal sufferers. The determination of operators to get out of their holdings was accentuated by the three day holiday to be faced, practically all the important exchanges of the world being closed until next week, with the possibility of important political and military events greater than under ordinary circumstances.
 The diplomatic exchange between Japan and France on the question of neutrality be- tween Germany and France over conditions in Morocco and the increasing chance of a naval encounter in the East were alarm ing influences in this field. The signing of the stock transfer at Albany was offer cd as g professed reason by many of the traders for their selling of stocks on the ground that their operations would be greatly hampered and restricted by this new law, which does not go into effect. however. until June.
 The embittered controversy in the Equit- able Life Assurance Society was feared for its disturbing effect on confidence in finan- cial conditions at large.

CHIcAGo GRAIN AND PRoyIsIoNs.

Chicago, April 2o-The demand for July wheat was small here today. The slump donment of the deal in May wheat by John W. Gates. Heavy liquidation of May char acterized trading during the greater part of the session. The lowest point of the day was reached at $1.0sh.

 Weakness in the wheat market was mani fest at the start. Initial quotations on May were off 1se to 9sc at s1 .13 to $1. 13h. July was shade to bc lower at STA Q s7ss. Conditions generally were favorable to the bears. One of the main influences was rain throughout Nebraska. Iowa, H. linois. Kansas, the Ohio valley and parts of Missouri. Apprehensions concerning drouth damage to growing wheat was thus relieved Soon after the opening May suf- fered perceptibly on what seemed to be moderate profit taking the price declining to $1.

A story that started a flood of would turn over 1O,OOO.OOO bushels at or near the dollar mark. Offers to sell May wheat came apparently from almost every trader in the pit. The result was that Bedlam marked the sensational decline which followed. The May price did not stop until it reached $1.oS14. Sales of

The story of the alleged settlement of the May deal while regarded by many evil dence of the defeat of the Wall Street CO., terie was not believed on all sides. There was considerable gossip to the effect that Gates and his followers had shifted the May deal to Armour and others and were getting into July against the sales of May.

 Notwithstanding the slump in wheat the corn market was steady. Decreased re- ceipts and prospects of a continuance of a small movement formed the chief basis of support. The volume of trading was exceed ingly small. July opened unchanged to a shade lower at 47% @47hc, sold between fMc and\ 47&c and closed at 479s @47&c
 Sentiment in the oats pit was rather bear ish owing to heavy rains throughout the country. Trading was fairly active, longs being liberal sellers July opened MQAo lower at 2sh Q2S%c. sold between 29Ac and 29Mc and closed at 299s 429hc.
 Provisions were easier influenced by low- CT prices for live hogs. Trading was ex- ceedingly quiet. At the close July pork was off 2hc at $12.75. Lard and ribs were each down 21a @5c at $7.S2h and $7.17h respectively.

FOR MORE LABORERS
SOUTH CAROLINA MAKES AN EFF
 FORT IN 4 NEW DIRECTION.
Seeking to Attract Whites--Establishes Headquarters in New York to Divert From There Surplus
 Labor.

New York Special to Baltimore Sun.
 There has been established by the State of South Carolina an office in New York to obtain its share of this city's surplus labor. Headquarters at IS Broad Street have been opened under the supervision of Colonel E. s. Wat son, State Commissioner of Immigra-
 My department" said Colonel Wat son, was launched upon lines entirely new in this country, being charged tion of governmental functions. In all three branches we have been working by night and by day and 1t Is counting not only for the State, but the com first place to turn the tide of immi- grafton from the congested centres to the fertile but sparsely settled South.
 '.The branch office here has just been been in the history of the industrial develop ment of a section of the country under government direction. The depart ment Is now preparing to send repre- sentatives to five or six North Euro pean countries not yet touched.
 We will be looking not alone to the rehabilitation of agriculture, but to the broader mineral field, in which we have offering good investment for capital and the State is seeing that they are safe. We are likewise offering good lands cheaply to those looking for
 
 offering employment to agricultural 1aborers, servants and the like in posi- tions wherein they will have opportu- nifty to save their earnings and in few years become independent.
 T believe in this work we are aid ing patirotically in solving one of the great economic problems of the coun- try, in a peaceful and desirable solution of the negro problem and in assisting the general government to avoid many of vexatious questions accompanying the great influx of foreigners, which has become a menace to the large centers of population.
 South Carolina has recognized the fact that New York city is the great gathering place of the unemployed. Immigration is not entirely to blame for this. Every part of the country market of New York. The great build ing enterprises. the tunnels and bridge every position to be filled. South Carolina is anxious to relieve the city of a part of this surplus. The State has 14O00,000 acres of undeveloped land and wants new white blood.
