NEW YORK, May 3.--The stock market
reflected the nervous and uncertain tone
erish fluctuations of prices during the day
There was no renewal Of liquidation In
such crushing volumes rs that of yeSter-
day, but there was an evident appre-
hension of such resumption.
There was a marked contraction in the
activity Of the market, and this in itself
was advanced as an argument that the
worst of the liquidation was over. 1t Is
the general conviction that so extensive
q decline as that of the last two weeks
has left outstanding an enormous short
interest. The lack of aggressive initiative
on the long side against this interest
was the cause of uneasiness as to the fur
ture of the market. Buying for support
was in evidence and the market was kept
from disorder at any time. But the
buying promptly subsided when prices
moved upward again with no encourage
nent to professional operators to pursue
The call money market was appreciably
easier than yesterday.
Additional gold was secured for import
and the outward movement for San Fran
cisco continued, the former movement
heavily outbalancing the latter. The ad-
vance In the Bank of England rate was
not unexpected and was natural conse-

counts were firm, both In London and

The report of the Standard Oil inquiry
and the presidents message, which is ex-
petced to accompany It, were subjects of
apprehension, forming motive either for
selling stocks or refraining from buying.
1t was the general expectation that the
assembling of the mine workers at Scran-
ton would result in the declaration of
an anthracite strike. The special weak
ness of Ama1gamated Copper was in con-
nection with the importance attached to
the forthcoming STANDARD Oil inquiry on
account of the Standard OIL influence and
control of the Amalgamated Copper com
pany. That stocks 3$a-point break decided

demand for cash wheat by millers.

The schooner Dauntless. while making
her way around the point to the south
of here yesterday afternoon on her trip
north, became becalmed and came very
near drifting onto the rocks west of the
lighthouse. 1t was only by casting her
anchor that she was saved Later when
the wind raised she got under way with

-Four big schooners,. bringing nearly as
many million feet of lumber from the
north came around the point last night
and cast anchor inside the breakwater
this morning. They are the Mahukona,

The Ocala Banner asks: How long
will the state democratic executive
committee perpetuate their bease of
office, and why were not new members
voted for in the last primary" Give
us something a little harder. The
answer is. that the committee as now
constituted (by the last democratic
convention, held in 1900, which gave
us Jennings for governor), is a self
perpetuating oligarchy, governing the
democratic party of the state at it's
own sweet will. accountable for its acts
to no superior power in the heavens
above or the earth beneath or the
waters under the earth; and it will
continue in despotic power until the
democratic people of the state. acting
through their respectice county COM
mittees. decide to put an end to an
intolerable condition by voluntarily
choosing delegates to a state conven-
tion-the only power that can over
throw the usurpers and put the power
of controlling the affairs of the party
again in the hands Of the people,
where it rightfully belongs.-St. Au-

The Musicale Last Night.

A musicale by the quartet from the
State School for the Blind and Deaf
was given at Yonge's hall last night,
and we regret that, owing to the picnic
at Lake Weir and other attractions in
the evening, it was SO smally attended,
and we regret also that it was impos-
sible for this paper to have had a rep
resentatiVe there.
Those who have heard these per-
formers say they give a marvellous en-
tertainment.
They leave for Leesburg today, and
there and elsewhere we hope that all
who can will go and hear them, and
We hope that their tour over a part of
the state win call attention to the
needs of this institution and will
arouse our lawmakers to make an ap-
preparation commensurate with it's
needs.
This institution should be the espe-
cial care of the state. Whatever else
is overlooked, this institution ought
not to be.

which each of the leading newspaper
men of the state came in for his share

immigration and Citizenship.

In the early days of the the republic
the democratic party strongly encour-
aged immigration. But at present )me
of Its w;sest leaders are lo1l:i3s ask
ance at the nordes pouring in upon
US from Asia and Southeastern Europe.
Senator McCreary. of Kentucky, in
a recent speech on the immigration
bills, urged the regulation of immigra-
ton so as to confine our acquisitions
only to the worthy. The present in
crease he characterized as startling
the immigration for the last year num-
bering as many as for the entire first
one hundred years of the history of
the country At the present rate only
four generations would be necessary
to bring the population of the country
up to the density of China. He called
attention to the increase in recent
years of the immigrants from south
eastern Europe and to the falling off
from northwestern Europe, and also
the unequal distribution of the immi-
grants in our northeastern states after
their arrival. He predicted that this
uneven distribution would soon pre-
sent a serious problem to the people
of the large eastern states.
Organized labor in this country is
urging the restriction of immigration.
and Senator Patterson, of Colorado.
who is Its champion in the senate, de-
Tended the contract labor law But
for that law he said hmm iera Mt ahor-
ers would be brought into the country
to take the places of the striking coal
miners, and expressed apprehension
that persons allowed to enter as farm
laborers would turn to other occupa-
lions which give more continuous en-
ployment and better wages. Hence ne
contended that the restrictions should
not be removed. but rather that they
should be enforced.
