Dealings in Reading On An Enormous Scale in View of Prospects For Avefting Strike In Anthrncita

New York, May 5--Prices fluctuated feyefishly in the very active trading of the short session of the stock market insignificant net changes as a rule, ex- cept in the group of coalers and some nt the minor specialties

This in f1uence was not suf1icIent, however. to hold the general list in face of some of play. The early weakness In St. Paul and New York Central was raceable to the developments in the struggle for st Paul was S regarded as sympathetic of the state of mind of the financial groups most directly concerned in the Presidents arraignment of the Stand
 The seliing of New York Central was connected with the finding of indict- ments for relating The unsettling overcome when Reading began to shoot upwards. An irregular tone asserted itself again after the appearance Of the bank bsvs of the enormous extent to which credits in the stock markets have been scaled down during the week.
 That the average of the loans of the banks should have increased for the week S2,900,400, made striking ex- hlbit of the heavy requirements which make teh withdrawal of credits from the stock market necessary to afford nseans for meeting them. A decline in the cash holdings of s4.S2o.2o0 was In contrast with preliminary estimates Of a gain of from $5,000,000 to over SIG, ,0O0, ,eo0. Withdrawals of cash by the trust companies to build up their reserves in compliance with the new State law. were given the responsibil ity for part of the discrepancy.
 There was similar discrepancy in last weeks bank statement. which would bring the average over into this week, the loss In the cash last week being less than a million dollars when the known movements of money. had indicated a loss of nearly $7,000,O00. Furthermore some of the large gold en- Eagements of the latter part of the week, owing to delayed accounting in the sub treasury operations, have not figured in this weeks bank statement.

AUBURN AND GREENSBORO PLAY
 DOUBLE-HEADER.
Auburn Wins First By Score of to in Twelve Innings, Neither Team Scoring for Eleven Innings.
 Greensboro Gets Second.

Auburn, May 5.--(Specfal. )-In two of the closest and best games ever see1 on Auburns campus, Auburn anl Greensboro divided the honors this af- ternoon, Auburn winning the first game by the score of 1 to 0, and Greensboro the second by to 1. The first nine innings of the first game were played in ifty-five minutes, and it took twelve innings to make a score, when Greens boro's two errors allowed Auburn to make the only score of the game. Ths game throughout was a pitehers battle between Weems and McGehee. with the odds slightly in favor of Weems but with dumb base running and poor batting on the part of Auburn, the game was evenly matched. Weenls struck out six and McGehee four, and neither gave a base on balls in the game Auburn made one error and Greensboro seven, two of which gave the game to Auburn. In the second game young Weems was in the box and was batted more freely, allowing three hits, a home run, three-bagger and a base hit. and striking out nve men. McGehee had his own in tn game, striking out four men and al- lowing two hits. The game was almost errorless throughout and was full of spectacular plays. Greensboro out played Auburn, but was superior only In batting. In the seven innings, Greensboro scored in first. and two in sixth, and Auburn one in third. Bat teries.

Mobile. 8, VicIksburK, 1.

Mobile, May 5.-(Special. )-Reed, g Oystermen made 1t three straights on the Hill Climbers from the banks of the Mississippi. After the dust had settled, the score was to 4, with an- other inning for the oystermen, which they did not have to play. Frank Tut tie, local amateur, went in the box for the visitors, and, to the surprise and admiration of the people, pitched fairly good game.
 Rotten support was one of the causes for the difference in the score, as the HUI Climbers were tied to with the Oystermen at the end of the third in- ming; to Joe Burke, the man with the indicator, appeared to have his glim,, mers on crooked for the visitors and couldn't tell balls from COW barns. Al most everyone conceded he was a close second to the erstwhile Umpire Turner, who was the worst ever. White pitcn- ed a magnificent game. Little Prout won all kinds of glory for his snappy work and in the line. McDavitt wa? O. K. in base running. The off1claI score tells the tale.

 New Orleans. May b-The close of the bulls The Influential features of late be- inc the middle Gulf States. and, until today dry weather in the South Atlantic States. buiiish weekend statistical figures on the movement to market, on sptnners takings and on the visible supply of the world and cuitivating the plant where cotton is has been done, and as good rains feli in the drouth section East of Mississippi River, probable that the oportune distribution of moisture will redound te the benefit Of the crop if there be cessation % of the rains. nahs: sections west of the Mississippi are enjoy ing fair weather today.
 In connection with new crop prospects, the acreage question is probably the most potent factor.
 on acreage published by the government last June were revised. On June End Of last year the agricultural department es- timated the acreage in cotton at 2S, l2o, 900 acres, a decrease Of 1l.4 per cent. compared with the acreage of the year before when
 The sotuhern planters refused to accept the figures as being correct, and as result of their demand, an investigation wes or board of the department of Agriculture pub lished a revised, estimate. the inquiry re- Holmes at his elbow prompting him made the estimate lower than the fact at his hand warranted. and the result was that rodue- tion in the acreage of 14.s per cent. was arrived at instead of 11.4 per cent the acreage being 26.s99. coo, against 3l. l.13o.O 900 acres the year before, reduction of 4,I3l'~ 900 acres.
 Reports at hand concerning the probable acreage of this year are not indicative of a substantial increase, the largest estimate thus far being an increase of 9M per cent. due, no doubt to the effects Of the s. C. A.. to keen the nlanters from making an over production as was the case two years ago.
 Meanwhile the statistical position of cot supply now standing at 2,6s5. 900. last year 2,S24, 000 the deficit getting larger weekly. on account of the smaliness of movement and large mill takings.
