Gambling quickly followed whis-

backward whirl after many revolu-

forgotten period when a band of
good christian brethren Of yore
congregated annually to render
humble praise to God. The scene
OF these old-time meetings was on
the little hillside adjacent to the

women, the pioneers of those days,

Simple services and sacred GER

spent in devout worship. Dinner

and friends from afar every year
and enjoyed renewing the old ties.

When the customary ceremony
OF foot-washing was observed they
were not abashed by the vulgar
gaze of the curious, and the service
provokedno idle jests. The sweet
hymnsourmothers sang we're sung
again, and these praises rang in
harmony through the swaying
trees and were waited on the
springtime zephyrs. The sweet
refrain of these sacred songs i'm

couragement while the last notes
of "Come Thy Fount of Every
Blessing" died away in the hazy
distance. It was day of true
christian enjoyment; Puritan
gathering, SO to speak, and memo
ries of the occasions were treasur-

sembled and renewed their prom
ises and allegiance to Almighty
God. AS the years drifted along
some faces were missing as they
were one by one called to their
final home.
The quiet christian solemnity of
these yearly meetings was destined
to be disturbed. A new genera
ton had eventually come into ex-
istence. They were of different
type from the men and women Of
yore. Year by year this rapidly
increasing army of the worldly
minded intruded their numbers on
the sacred precincts. Hollow
Rock junction became conven-
lent spot for sweethearts to renew
their vows of love and constancy
and they slowly butsurely elbowed
the old folks out. Boys and girls
focked to the scene and the day
became one Of worldly pleasure'in-
stead ofchristian enjoyment. The
evolution became more and more
distinct. The first Sunday in May
soon developed into purely Sun
day picnic for the exclusive bene-
fit of silly swains and giddy girls.
Gradually they outnumbered in
vast proportions the good old
fathers and mothers and took an
almost absolute possession of the
grounds. The former sacred SER
vices became targets for idle and
ill-mannered comment.

THE STOCK MARKET

 New Orleans, March lS.-There were no developments of any significance over sun day Due about two points higher, futures in Liverpool declined as much as eight points on old crops. New crops arc stead fer. Spot prices are three points blower, Support of any kind seems to be giving natural result. Our market opened about five points lower. Ntrading was dull and prices soon began to sag. Long interests in New York made an effort 10 hold it but that this support is purely manipulativa is shown by the fact that the May futures in New York are advancing above July, On ly short while ago May was 10 to IF below Jalv in that market.
 The census report to appear on Wednes- day is the one card of doubtful valua. which, as yet prevents free selling, bnt there is less fear of its being really hullish. Weather conditions continue favorable to field work. The only precipitation of ccp- sequence occurred in the Mobile coast dis trict The spot market is idle, some scattered business, anything but perfect cot ton is lower to sell.
 Futures in the afternoon continued weak, but New York succeeded in holding the markets There is more good cotton offering in the spot market with out finding the usu- al ready demand Liverpool is due to como about five points higher tomorrow; There might be e little rally in the markets on short covering owing to fear of bulush census, but on the whole, the situation to- day is weaker than at any ttrns this season.

MARKET FOR COTTON

New York, March 1s.--The cotton market was rather nervous and irreg- ular during today's session, but ruled we'll under the closing figures of last night and while steady at the close 1t were estimated at i5e. .0oo bales. The opening was steady at a decline of @ points in response to lower ca- hles than due, good weather over weak end and continued large receipts; along the line. but there was also Q big demand for May and the relative steadiness of that position was the feature of the session. A local spot was a heavy buyer of the active spring month. taking one lot of 10000 and another of 5000 bales, and this check cd the declining tendency after a net loss of abou ts Q 10 points with May ceiling point or two over the July op- ton. Later the support was little less aggressive and May sold of even with July in the afternoon when the market ruled about to IF points net lower. The close was only a little up from fhe lowest on the oldest crop months. Liverpool cables were quite disappointing and private cables said that longs were liauidating. preauma- ply to avoid tenders. The heavy buy inG of May here was thought by some to be for a concentrated long interest Xhfch is understood to be looking for q bullish census report on "Wednesday. while others think that a good pro- portion of the demand is for covering of straddles between here and Liver pool, theory which might account for the weakness of the English market. Southern spot markets were unchanged to 1-s lower.
 Receipts at the ports today 27,4so bales against s3,97s last Week and 14.S1s last year. sFor the week 160.- 900 bales against ls7,596 last week and 176.46z last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 7,oss bales against 4,ss2 last year and at Houston s.104 bales against 2.43s last year.
