NOTICEABLE TENDENCY TO DEPRES
 SION NECEsSITATED CONTEST.
Large Buying of Few Individual Stocks Played Important Part--Trregu-
 lar Tone for Closing
 Was Not Prevented.

New York. March 25.-some tendency to depression had to be contested in today | stock market. and this was effected by the large buying of few individual stocks. ed up in the final dealings to 63A. This did not prevent an irregular tone for the closing.
 Union Pacific was rather heavy through out, rising only a small fraction over last night at any time and this had seEti- mental influence on the whole market. New York Central was another strong feature and 1t was supposed to be associated with Ontario & Western. A number of indua- trials made advances.
 The S18.o00.00o loan contraction disGiOsec by the statement of the banks helped te effect a reduction in deposits as to re- of nearly $6, 900, 900, so that in spite of the loss in cash of $4.61s.so0 which WAS con- siderably in excess of expectations. the mat gin of the surplus was expanded % the ex tent of $I.s25.150. for confidence that even with a further loan contraction by the banks. resources will be found in the foreign exchange mar ket and in trust company offerings to meet loan requirements.

LovEMAN ( CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

(By Private Wire from H. & B. Beer) New Orleans March 25.-With the excep-
 ton of March contracts. which practically remain unchanged from closing of last week future contracts and spot cotton show loss of about $1 per bale.
 Considering the magnitude of the move ment to market and more favorable wealth CT conditions for preparing land 'r the South for the new crop not to ention the falling off in the spot demand. values held up remarkably well. The firmness ot discount of four points from May. against commanding a premium Of lS points tcoay' served to keep the market together.
 Shorts in March have been at dfsad- vantage. the firmness of spot holders work ing against their interests, belated traders finding conditions against them when ieast them to extricate themselves. notwithstand- ing the other months to have lost about 20 points during the week.
 Its present premium over spots Of about 20 points. however, will probably weaken it's position. as sales of spots will probably pc made for delivery contract, a little or which business was put through today at a profit. - The scarcity of spot offerings. however. have not permitted the making of such transactions a large scale The incentive not unlikely that advantage will be taken of same since the inquiry for actual cotton is a diminishing scale.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. March 25-Rumors of the re- wal of the bull campaign in May wheat today At the close May wheat was up Mc. July is up Ac. May corn showed a gain of x Q %c: oats are off M 9Ac and provisions are almost unchanged.
 As a result of higher prices at Liverpool the wheat market here had a firm tone at the opening. May was unchanged to Mc higher at S1.12h. July was up a shade to Ao at sohc. The excellent outlook for the new crop however. induced som esei1ing in July. and in consequence that option de clined to 90Ao. The fact that one of the recognized leaders of the Eastern specu- lators was in Chicago yesterday gave some emphasis to much gossip. In addition to the revived interest in the May option, ad- vices from Minneapolis claimed that there was good demand from millers for all grades of cash wheat. The prospect for good weather was completely offset the market becoming quite bullish. May was in good demand, but offerings were extreme- ly light From S1.13 the price of that op- tion advanced to $1.14 without a single trade. At $1.14 commission houses sold moderately and the price reacted somewhat A belief that July had been largely over- sold caused fair buying of that option later in the day. The market closed strong with May at $1.1s. Final quotations on July were at cox 9so%c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 71.7OO bushels Primary receipts 351.200 compared with S16.00O year ago.
 Influenced by the strength of wheat the corn market exhibited considerable firm ness. Shorts were good buyers. but of ferings were comparatively light. Higher prices at Liverpool had some elect on the market here. May opened unchanged to a shade lower at 4s%c, sold between 4SaS @@Sko and 49c and closed at the high est point Local receipts were 425 ca-s with 26 contract grade.
 Liberal receipts and the near approach oi the end of tho feeding season caused selling of oats by cash houses. The result wai a weak market May opened at 3OAc. solJ off to 30hc and closed at 3oh h93oac. Re. ceipts 24a cara
 Provisions were firm early in the day result of smaller receipts of hogs. Later an easier tone developed on moder. ate liquidation of pork. At the close May pork was off 2h @5o at $12.77h to S13. 80 Lard was up 2ho at S7.15@7.17k Ribs were up 21s @5c Ak $e.97h.

The State is growing in population in a healthy, natural manner The de- velopment of its resources attracts inn migration. and the advertising of the
 railroad companies brings thousands of
 families. chiefly farmers, from the East and North into the State every year. The railroads are also introducing a
 large variety of manufacturing enter
 prises According to the census of
 1900. the population was 1.S2S.697, and 1t has undoubtedly increased to more
 than 100000 since that date The pop

 Twenty years ago Alabama was pure ly an agricultural State. and very little
 but cotton and corn was produced here Today the tonnage of It's mines and l furnaces exceeds that of the combined | crops of all the Southern States, and the agricultural wealth has developed | in rapid manner. The cotton crop oe Alabama will average more than mill lion bales. or about 10 per cent of the
