u1eut.

New York, May 16.-Stagnant conditions
continued to prevail today In the great Sc
e9rity markets OF the world and the volume
of transactions in New York was so trivial
as to leave little Significance In the price
movements which is due almost wholly to
the shifting operations of small profess
sionai class who seek only to scalp quick
Profit on a narrow price movement. The
movement extremely sluggish even

Some special weakness of Chesapeake .
Ohio today might have been connected with
the recommendation alleged to have ebeen
agreed by the commission to prohibit
railroad companies from purchasing snares
in other railroads. That stocks weakness.
was attributed however to the rumors OF
a Forthcoming ncte issue. The Delaware
and Hudson equipment note Issue and the
General Electric convertibls bond issue serv-
ID to bring attention back to the question
of the supply of limited capital availabie to
meet the needs of the corporations. the
course of the bond market offers no indica-
tion of the working off of congestion of

benture bonds signslized their appearance IN
the stock exchange trading by a dscline to
a low record figure. Current reports Of the
large proportion of subscriptions which had
been allotted in the Union Pacific aconverti-

first impression of the success of that tran

New York bankers heard with interest the
renewal of the movement OF gold from Lon

sharp rise in sterling exchange in this mar

WEATHER
AND COTTON
CONDITIONS AFFECT
PRICE AND PROSPECTS.
WarehOuseman Tells How staple IL
Withheld from Market, and
Farmer Says He Cannot do
Work to Pay Expenses

''In the past week very little cotton
has been sold in Montgomery" said a
warehouseman yesterday.
The extreme weather conditions
for this season of the year have
caused the staple to be withheld from
the market. Persons having cotton
will not sell 1T now and are waitingf
for future developments in the conf
dent belief that the price of cotton
will soar skyward and that their cot
ton will bring them in much larger
returns.
"Of course. it is not my purpose to
bias anyones holding or selling cot.
ton. but the price SAs already gone UP
considerably in the past week and I
hardly think it will reach a higher
mark, even though we have had most
unfavorable weather for our crops.
Gwen If the price does not go up,
at any rate, 1t will not hurt to hold
cotton. for I don't believe it can go
down."
Feeding niggers and mules" This
was the laconic answer given sadly
yesterday by one of the most import
ant farmers of Montgomery County
when asked what he was doing in the
way of progress with his crops.
You see that crowd of negroes" he
said, pointing to a wagon filled with
able-bodied black mon, passing
through the street. They have come
to town on pleasure bent. There is
nothing else for them to do. The
mules are standing in the stalls eat
ing off their heads. am paying the
bills and whiting white pine boxes
until the weather man consents for us
to go back to work.
There hasn't been anything like
these weather conditions in a great
many years. You city people do not
realize the disaster that confrontS the
farmers. Twenty cent cotton will
not repay us for our losses, ana UNI
less we get to work mighty soon
there won't be any cotton at any
price"

There used to be told a comical
story about judge who occasionally,
when of the bench, yielded to tempta-
ton and imbibed too freely for his own
good. The tale went on to tell that on
one occasion the worthy man having
dissipated to an extent regarded by
the judge as scandalous, the offender
arraigned himself at the bar, where a
plea of guilty was entered and the jur-
list imposed an exemplary fine upon
himself. There seems to have been
similar working of conscience down
in Mississippi. where grand jury in
dicted every one of it's own members
for violating the Sunday law, with the
result that the culprits were arraigned
in court and were fined $40 apiece.
That grand jury certainly furnished
proof of sincerity when it gave up"
30 readily.
