of opinion that the visit of Booker IT. washington to Mobile yesterday and his plain, straightforward, heart-to- heart talk last night to the largest gathering of negroes ever assembled in a church house here, had 0 most gratifying effect on the colored peo- ple in Mobile. His talk was an earnest one, plainly worded and absolutely to the point in every particular. The pa- rade of negro organizations in honor of his visit was one of the most or derly ever witnessed here. Professor Washington so expressed himself last night in his address in Big Zion. A M. E.

MORE STRENGTH IS
 SHOWN BY STOCKS
Most of the Business Done in
 Forenoon
WAS SP0TTY AND UNEVEN
Reading Was the Malnstay of the Mar ket, Both in Volume of Transac- tions and In Extent of
 the Movement.

New York, March 2s.-There was some expansion in the volume of dealings OH the stock exchange today, and a con- siderable degree of strength in stocks. Most of the days business was done in the forenoon, and by the middle of the afternoon the market had relapsed again into it's torpid state. The continuation Of the upward movement from yesterday broke the rule which had been in evidence for some time past of a reversal of one day of the movement on the previous day.
 This fact, together with the larger and more aggressive buying today, gave the market an appearance of considerable improvement. The movement. however, was spotty and uneven, and largely due to the sympathetic effect of the heavy operations in few stocks. This charae- ter of the market suggested the proba- bility that the increased business was still in the hands of professional operators svho traded somewhat more boldly. Read ing was the mainstay of the market both lin the volume of transactions and in the extent of the movement. Its strong ad
 vance was supposed to reflect improved prospects of a settlement with the an- thracite miners which would avert a
 strike. There was no notable response amongst the anthracite coalers as a group to the Reading movement, and this left sentiment obscure on the strike outlook. As a matter of fact. no definite news

elbert 8 Claw. Market Letter.

Foreign news was all of d more favor able character and sentiment showed a decided change so far as expected reac- ton that the Liverpool market looked for was concerned. In options gain from the previous day of 1 points was re- corded, and there was considerable buy ing on the curb. Spot sales continue good today 10000 at unchanged prices. The manipulative interests that took such an important part in yesterdays proceed ings were again present today.
 Opening prices were higher and con- tinued so throughout the day, advancing steadily on the bullish opinion with which the one time bear leader flooded the New Orleans market The expected favorable st pply statement also induced some buy ine, which in a measure was augmented by forecasts for some more wet weather over the belt
 Fort receipts. while heavy were con- sideraby augmented by the cotton re- ceived on the Pacific coast and at Port Arthur and Brunswick. a condition doubt less emanating from the somewhat free way in which the interior has let go of cotton on recent advances The decline in receipts at different points In the country bears out this fact.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-03-24
Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

Another high level was reached in the cotton market today. when May contracts sold as high as 11.90e There was con siderable profit-takine by commission houses on the rise, but prices were well maintained until the close. which was firm a a net gain for the day of il to 15 points on the old and points on the new crop months
 Spots were officially reported steady and tsc higher on all grades.
 Sales amounted to 4300 bales of cotton and 1850 bales of 10 arrive, on the basis of Ii 1-l6c for middling.
 There were no deliveries on contract today.
 While some reason for todays advance could be found in the exceedingly bullish weekly'statements and the good spot de- mand, manipulation also played an im- portant part in the rise to a new high level. Conservative opinion in this mar ket is bearishly inclined. as the advance has been too rapid for a proper adjust nent of spot values to the higher basis Of futures, a condition which many think will soon be reflected in a much less active demand for the actual cotton. While an advance in cotton Is, as general rule, benefit to this part of the country, some are asking themselves the question whether an advance just at this period of the year will best conserve the cotton interests of the south Every intelligent person knows that the planting season is now near at hand Advices that have been received from the interior generally indicate that q large acreage is contem- plated and there can be no doubt that the tendency to plant big acreage would be greatly strengthened by higher prices than prevail at the present moment.

was forthcoming of the probable final outcome of the negotiations in the coal trade More importance was attached to the fresh return from a holiday trip of the leader of the organized party In the market which has controlled the move ments in Reading for many months past
 The vulnerable short interest in the stock was believed also to accentuate the movement. News of the labor outlook in the soft coal trade was equally vague. The rise in Colorado Fuel and the West Virginia soft coal carriers was based on the supposition that soft coal strike would leave those regions exempt and operate possibly to their benefit.
 Pennsylvania failed conspicuously to share in the strength of its subsidiary companies, and the United States steel stocks were also notably heavy, that cor poration having much to reckon with in the soft coal settlement. New York Cen tral shared the backward tendency of the last named stock. The announcement of a debenture bond sale by the New York, Chicago and St Louis kept att tention centered on the capital require- ments of the Vanderbilt properties. Chi cago and Northwestern made another strong advance The excellent showing of gross earnings for February and un- defined reports of important extensions of railroad systems generally in the north west, offered the only news bearing on the movement.
 The call money market worked decided ly easier, and sentiment was inclined to expect favorable bank statement. Trans fers to the interior through the sub treasury established loss to the institu- tion for the week of $S36,000 But the banks estimate that they have received currency on balance from the interior on the ex- press movement and about sS00,000 of the gold engaged in London has arrived and gone into bank reserves during the week. Estimates Of the net gain in cash vary from about half a million to some thing over a million dollars. The usual un- certainty regarding changes in the loan item exists. The reported sale of a stock exchange seat at $S600O, a decline of s900Q from the record price, was regarded as significant of the dull business out look in the stock market. Prices were not well held in the extreme dullness of the late trading and the closing tone was easy at concessions from the best prices.
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value $l ,9G0,0OO United States bonds were all unchanged on call.

CLOSE IS AT NET ADVANCE

New York, March 2S.-The cotton mar ket was not so active as yesterday, but showed trace of continued excitement with strong bull support in evidence ana with prices holding well over the final figures of last night rhe close was steady at net advance of to 13 points. Sales were estimated at 3o0,000 bales.
 The opening was firm at an advance Of to points on higher cables than ex- pected and a continued good spot demand in the English market. The weather map made favorable showing and receipts looked heavy, but parties who had sold yesterday on the theory that the selling by bulls and the decline meant the end of the bull movement rather than n reac- ton, were covering and the market short ly after the call worked np to a net ad- vance of F to 13 points, Offerings in- creased at this level owing to profit talk ing on reports of freer spot offering in the south, but after @ reaction of or points the bull clique came to the sup port of prices and forced the market up with the assistance of the scattering shorts, to net advance of 16 to 19 points on the active months, with July selling at lilo or a new high level for the move ment. Toward the close realizing was again the feature, but the reaction from the best was matter of only or 6 points. Spot offerings in the south are said to be freer, but the spot markets are advancing with futures, being k to A cent higher according to todays reports, and there are reports of better demand for both raw and manufactured supplies.
