NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, December 2O.-The cotton
market opened steady, at decline OF
points to an advance of 1 point, which was
a pretty good response to lower English fu-
lures. with the steady tone impaired by the
large English spot sales and the idea that a
census report of about 100000 bales this
afternoon had been discounted.
Business was very quiet during the early
session and fluctuations were irregular
with prices holding within two or three
points of last nights finals. There was
some buying here to undo straddles be
tween this market and Liverpool, but trad
ing was chiefly between local professionals
The market was weak and unsettled In
the late morning under local bear pressure
and liquidation with prices at a low level
for the season and about thirteen points net
lower. Trading was quiet at midday, but
prices held within point or two OF the
lowest

THE MONEY MARKET RELAXES
Substantial Reduction in Volume OF
Business-Banks Gain in opera
tons With the Subtreasury.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 20.-Some sort of
a rebound in prices was in order IN the
stock market today. If for nothing beyond
technical reasons. in view of the extent
of the decline in the market during the
present week. In the railway list an aver
age shrinkage in values of nearly ST
share has been scored within that time
with a somewhat smaller lowering of val
ues in the Industrial quarter.
Ostensibly the rallying in prices today
was based upon the general conviction that
before the close of the week the Secretary
of the Treasury would announce some ad-
dltional measure for the relief of the money
market.
Today's money market, that is for loans
on call. showed a material degree of re-
taxation renewal rates being fixed between
II and Il per cent and the greater part OF
the days new borrowing was arranged be-
tween & and IL per cent. The banks in
creased their gain in their operations with
the subtreasury to S4.641 900. and as they
will probably be able to report another
large curtailment in the loan account IN
Saturdays bank statement, the OUTLOOK lor
that document is fairly propltlouS one
The banks ought, at all events. to De aDle
to show restoration of surplus reserves.
In spite of the easier tone of the call
money market, lit alteration as observed
In the terms quoted for loans on time. L ne
Bank OF England's rate of discount was
left unchanged today at per cent, and
the banks weekly statement showed
sharp. although a seasonable, reduction in
the ratio of reserves to liabilities!

The London stock market was. however.
favorably influenced by the retention of
the banks rate at per cent, and in the
American department a large number Of

the figures at which they were quoted IN

The local dealings developed few features
of interest. market movements being fairly
uniform Reading common was one of the
most active stocks in the railway list and
underwent about as wide fluctuations as
were noted in any particular security.
In the early part of the day the stock

ment that no advance had been made III

 Winnipeg. Manitoba, March 30.-The street car strike situation Is rapidly acquiring grave proportions. mob assumed such threatenng attitude that ragulars were called out late today and a detachment of royal Canadian mount ed rifles assumed patrol of Main street.
 The regulars line up at the corner of Higgins and Main, with fixed baYo- nets This did not awe the crowd which attacked a street car and at- tempted totcpull of the crow. Mayor Sharpe then tread the riot act and was greeted with hoots and jeers.
 The soldiers loaded their guns with ball cartridges and the mob, falling to disperse, a charge with fixed 5ayonets was ordered. This had the necessary effect in keeping back the crowd of wildly excited men. The few cars that were operated today were taken off at 6 o'clock and this no doubt prevented riots. Attacks on the residences of directors were threatened.
 only six COTS were run today and they carrfeA more policemen and de- tectives than regulars.
 The feature of today's disturbances was the arrest of two detectives for assault One of them attacked Mayor sharpe and City Solicitor Hunt, not Knowing who they were. When the cars stopped running tonight the mob uuieted down somewhat and the mili- fla was called off the streets.

Terry, wfo is only IS years of age stood an examination recently before the county examining board. in session at Hartford. and emerged triumphant with a license. Terry's father. J. S. Foster. resides three miles south of DOthan.
 Living near Slocomb is another per- son who Is something of a prodigy. 1t might be said. This is Mrs Mary Lewis. who is aged s4. Mrs. Lewis home is three or four miles from the town. and whenever she desires to do any shopping there she asks no odds of anyone. but puts out on foot. makes her purchases and returns to her home in the manner she came. Still more unusual was a performance of Mrs Lewis four years ago, when she, heinz at Boniffay, Fla. and desiring td ar- river in Slocomb promptly for special church services. refused to walt for a dllatory relative who was to carry her in his buggy. and walked the distance of twenty-five miles, arriving but little If any fatigued by her trip.
 Slocomb's new school house will soon be a thing of reality. work on the first story has about been completed, and 1t presents a handsome appear ance. The building when completed. will be two stories high, of brick and stone, and will cost In the neighbor- hood of $20,O0O. It Will be a structure which would do credit to a town many times the size of Slocomb. and. natur- ally, the citizens Of Dothan's enter prislng little neighbor are very proud of it.
 Dothan Is having peculiar weather to say the least. Yesterday was an unu- sually warm day. but cold wave came steslthily during the night and this morning overcoats and fires are great ly in evidence. It is fair and pretty this morning. with the sun shining brightly. but still uneomfortably cool

Queer Weather Conditions.

March will not only go down in his- l tory as enc of the rainiest months on record in Birmingham. but 1t breaks all prior records for cold weather. The thermometer at ' o'clock this morning registered only 40 degrees | moved very little In either direction during the day. Indications point to | weather between 35 and 40 degrees to- night, but the air will be void of rain. The fifth day of the continuous rain which began falling at o'clock last Monday night blossomed with a heavy cloud hanging over the city this morn ing There was no sign of a rift in the sky and the atmosphere was damp and occasionally mists made umbrellas necessary.
 It was cold, too. and old overcoats that had been put away in some dark closets were dug out" again and Bir- mingham went to work this morning in winter attire. Even old Uncle Joe'' had to reach up on his top shelf and get down recently tied bundles that had been left with him for safe keeping until things broke" better with the owners, who were forced to get move on and get the wherewithal or shiver all day.
 According to statistics furnished by w. F. Lehman, the local observer who has had a correct line on the weather for the entire year, the rainfall for the month of March this year has amounted to exactly 1041 inches. Only once before in the history of the local weather bureau has this mark been re- corded in March, and this was in 1902, when the precipitation was exactly the same. Only twice has the precip- itation been greater in any month of the year and March leads all the months in the way of general aver age. Including the rainfall for the cur rent month the March average for twelve years is 6.10 inches.

The past year, he undertook and carried to success his plan to all low all the orphans of the several charges of the city to witness the Boer War spectacle.
