WEATHER HINDERS FLIGHT
Knabenshue Remains in Clouds for
Three Hours, Leavinf From
Fiesta Park

But for the unfavorable weather con-
ditions which obtained yesterday and
the fact that the engine refused to act
as it is supposed to, the flight made by
Roy Knabenshue yesterday morning in
his new unnamed airship would un-
doubtedly have been one of the most
successful of the season.
The young aeronaut started away
from Fiesta park yesterday morning at
about 9:4O o'clock and was in the air
for over three hours.

CALAMITY CAUSES
 STOCK WEAKNESS Anthracite Miners Strike Seems
 Inevitable PRICES GO TO LOW LEVEL Message of the President Calling for Further Measures Agalnt the Trusts Caused Considerable
 Selling.
PRICES GO TO LOW LEVEL

New York, April 1s.-Wall street paid eager attention to the news from San Francisco in common with the rest of the world and the terrible calamity there had no small part in the weakness of stocks today. This factor was supplemented by the conviction that a miners strike in the anthracite region was inevitable. The steps taken in Washington towards fur thering proceedings against the coal car rying railroads and reports published dur ing the morning of forthcoming special message from the President calling for further measures against the trusts, caused considerable selling.
 Sales for London account made an ad- ditional burden to the market The com bined effect of these factors was heavy liquidation throughout the list which car ried prices eomprehensively to lower level. There was no effective effort to support the market and except for ocea- sional checks to pauses In the selling movement the downward course was per sistent. Securities markets are not proof against the sentimental effect of great hu- man calamities as has been demonstrated In many eases. The depressing effect of misfortune and suffering may be ex-

Ware & LeIand's Market Letter.

Whether due to the appalling catastro- phe in San Francisco or to the profit taking on the recent advance the cotton market was easier during the early part of the session. Weakness developed in the new crop months and at times was rather difficult for operators to sell any large quantity of either October or De- cember cotton. This was in measure due to the fine weather in the south and to the absence of aggressive operations in May and July. Heretofore the advance In the new crop months has been respon- sible for the rise in distant months. It was to be expected that when support was temporarily withdrawn new crops should work off fully as much as the old.
 It is now the 18th of the month In another ten or twelve days the question of May notices will have to be decided. We cannot but feel this is a very impor- tant question and should the cotton not be taken on contracts, but thrown on the market, weakness must necessarily de- velop. On the other hand there are no evidences of any selling of consequence and the strong spot position leaves the general tone firm. Until there are evil dences of a decided change the present market is likely to continue. On fur ther break supporting orders in May will no doubt be found.

pected to effect unfavorably business en- terprises. The market was under the n- fiuence of this feeling to some extent
 There was to be considered in addition the actual property losses which were perceived to be of enormous dimensions. The most immediate reflection of this phase of the disaster was in the stocks of the United Railways Investment com pany which represents the holdings of the San Francisco street railway lines. Of ferings of small lots of these found no takers except at wide declining intervals. The extreme loss for the common stock at the lowest of the day was 291a points and for the preferred 141a points. The net loss of the common was 161s and for the preferred 10 points. A mortgage bond of the subsidiary company sold off 5ls points. The effect on the market of this and of the other factors mentioned was made more acute by the vulnerable condition of the market itself, which the recent course of events has been demonstrated.
 Evidence was pretty clear yesterday of the pressure long stock on the market at all favorable opportunities. It was con cluded that speculative accumulations which have been held pertinacieusly through the money stringency, were com ing. on the market with-sthe more favora- ble conditions caused by the relaxation in the money market. The easier conditions of money, however, failed to stimulate any large demand for stocks such as was counted upon to take over holdings by the speculative operators who accumulated stocks last month. The concurrence of events this morning precpitated the liaui- dation which was entered upon by more gradual methods already The selling for London account was attributed to some extent to measures of protection against New York's heavy demand on that center for gold. Sales of foreign securities are the usual resource of that market against demands of that character upon it's gold supply. Colonial troubles in south Africa made an additional disturbing element in London, and the subscriptions to the Rus sian loan expanded the requirement. on that money market Covering by shorts to take profits on the days decline in duced a considerable rally in the final hour, but it was poorly held, and the closing was irregular.

recording a net loss Of points from the previous days levels. The poor showing made by Egyptian interests and the re- peated rumors of labor troubles in the Lancashire district materially aided in depressing of values Spot sales, 0eo bales al a loss of points.
 The lower opening here was in accord with the weakness abroad, but trading was so extremely light that the further decline that occurred seemed to be due more than anything else to heaviness and general lack of interest in the market, the distressing news from San Francisco largely absorbing the attention of traders. In the spot situation tho narrow ship ping parity, and the f1rmness of factors holding for high prices has practically restricted business.
 Such widespread disinterestedness that has been shown so far as the outside pub lie is concerned, seems even to have per meated the ranks of the ominipresent scalper and they too look askance at present market conditions, preferring tho advent of some more powerful influence to shake the market our or the present rut in which it has worn itself.

SALES WERE 15O,OOO BALES

New York, April 1S.-The cotton market was not very active today. but ruled nervous and unsettled with the close at a net decline of 991s points. Sales for the day were estimated at 10000 bales
 The market opened steady at decline of b@6 points, which was better than due on the weak cables. At first, how ever, aggressive selling was held in check by the fear of bull manipulation and the market ruled steady around the opening figures. But Liverpool continued easy. New orleans as well as Liverpool was a seller here and room bears were encour- aged to try for stop orders, which some thought might be reached around n.2O for July. At 1119 for that position or about 9Q10 points net lower covering de- veloped in sufficient volume to steady the market, which ruled very Quet during the middle session to yield again in the late trading, as result of Wall street liouidation and renewal of bears pres sure.

THE LOCAL MARKETS

There was no material change in the condition of the Birmingham spot cotton market all day yesterday. Good middliny closed at 11i4 cents, unchanged in price from the preceding day.
 There was a general decrease in the prices of produce on Morris avenue yes terday, caused chiefly by the abundant supply. Florida beans have dropped about 30 cents per crate, and English peas have dropped 20 cents. Cabbage is down about 25 cents. Alabama strawber- ries are beginning to arrive in large quantities and are cheaper. They were quoted yesterday at s2.50 and sS per 24- quart crate. Spring chickens have made their appearance on the market and the broilers. which are very small, were priced yesterday at 20 to 40 cents.
 A good trade prevailed during the great CT part Of the day in the local grocery market Prices are very firm and un- changed from those Of Monday and Tues day

Lovemsn q Co.'S Market Letter.

Liverpool was somewhat disappointing today due to heavy liquidation Futures closed easy at a decline of points on all positions, while spot sales amounted to only 5000 bales at decline of 3 points. Owing to tlie weakness of the market abroad futures here opened quiet at q decline of to points on all positions. As the day progressed the market gave way to the continued liquidation and on some short selling by scalpers for turn. The result was that futures closed steady at d decline of 13 to IS points on the old and 12 to 1s points on the new crop months.
 Spots were officially reported unchanged with sales amounting to IFS bales all told. The weather map WAS favorable. No rain was shown except in southeast Texas where it Is said to be needed.
 An area of low barometric pressure to the west of the belt promises rain. The market ruled quiet but steady throughout the day and even should prices go tempor- arlly lower, we advise buying on any break. Because the firmness of the local spot situation may cause sharp reaction when least expected.
