STORY OF PROGRESS.
Industrial Activities of the Week Re-
 viewed By the Index.

Columbus, Ga, April 23.-tSpeclal) )-The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index will say tomorrow in It's regular weekly issue:
 In making excavations for a fve-story office building in city in Southern Geor- gia this week. pine stumps were dug up and cast aside. By no means is the city Ion a boom" Railroad shops are being constructed there at a cost of s1,OOO,OO9 and it has numerous large and ornate business buildings. But the incident serves to illustrate in measure the rapid, though substantial, upbuildng of cities and towns in Georgia and Alabama. In the great majority of the cities and towns of the two states new buildings, includ- Ing residences, are being planned in in- creasing numbers, as Is shown by the columns of construction news published in The Index from week to week. In one city of less than 15,OoO population 137 res idences are being built. Municipal im- proyements are being made generally. In addition to business buildings and res idences, including twenty-three of the lat ter in Atlanta, Ga., The Indev reports this week among other projected struc- lures: Four hotels, including two of five stories each, at Mobile, Ala; theatre Adel, Ga. sanitarium, Anniston, Ala buildings for sanitary institute, Selma Ala; s1o,000 school building, Nichols Ga; $S0,000 apartment house, Atlanta, Ga; four churches, including two to cost about s4O000 each; paving plans in five cities; enlargement of two water works avctan,c. aaUa,. evetap,e op1 oxtoo.f.,u two cities and two land and improve ment companies which will erect res idences.

An election will probably be ordered upon the issuance of bonds for building s75,O00 county jail at Birming- ham, Ala. It is reported that the South ern railway will establish a car wheel manufacturing plant near Rome Ga, upon tract of land which is purchased recently for s3O.000.

PROFESSIONALSARE BUYING
Casual Encounter Between Hill and Hartman Is Given as Chief Cause of Mondays Activity In
 Some Stocks.

New York, April 2S.--The speculative element in the stock market was greatly disappointed today over the way in which prices were turned backwards from their upward course of yesterday. The action today was accepted as conclusive of the professional character of yesterdays rise and of a large proportion of covering by shorts in the burying which caused 1t. The casual encounter between MT. Hill and MT. Hartman, and the fact that II gave no rise to outward show of hostility, seems to have been the principal basis for most of yesterdays buying. which, It will be remembered ccnverged largely on the Hill and Hartman railroad stocks. This seems to have been recognized to- day as rather an unsubstantial ground on which to base a renewal of the bull movement in stocks, also there was show of excitement In Union Pacific late fin the day Today's reaction did not by any weans wipe out all of yesterday very substantial gains. The movement might be better described simply as desisting from yesterdays operations for a rise The effect was to throw the mar ket back into the deep neglect which was so notable last week. So far as yesterdays rise was due to expectation of the improvement in the wheat crop news there was ground for the reaction today in the disappointment of the hopes of abundant rains in the sections rom which complaints have come for the neeo of them. The desire of this need was brought out in the weekly bulletin Of the weather bureau. It's report of undesiraple cold weather and want of rain in much or the wheat crop east of the rockies em- phasized the effect of reports that the expected showers had proved scanty' A renewed outpouring of crop reports hoWeu into Wall street and into the wheat pll in consequence of the tone or stochs. There was some renewal of the tone ol apprehension over the industrial outlooh which was weighed recently on the mar ket. Attention was attracted by report of a large reduction in working force by an important western electric equipment company, and the offered explanation that the demand for the product was falnng off on account of its high price level. A rise in prices to level discouraglng to consumption where such condluoh hecomes at all general constitutes the cen tral force making for reaction. The signs of such a condition hitherto have been few. but the whole financial world IS keenly on the alert to discern them, ana such a report as that published tooay is a strong influence on speculative sentl- ment The principal event of the day from the money market standpoint was the reduction as was the expected or the discount rate of the Imperial bank or Germany from per cent to 51s per cent The Bank of the Netherlands also made a further reduction in it's discount rate. which was advanced recently, to cut OF a movement of gold from that market 10 New York.

COTTON MARKET
 IS LESS ACTIVE Estimated Sales During the Day
 Only 25,OOO THE CLOSING IS STEADY Net Decline of 2 to Points-Ternpera lures Continue Below Normal for
 the Season In the
 South.
THE CLOSING IS STEADY

New York, April 23.-The cotton market was less active today with sales esti- mated at only 25,OOo bales. Prices ruled a little under the closing figures of yesterday, but the closing was steady at a net decline of to points. The open ing was steady at decline of 9 to 6 points in response to lower cables and scattering liquidation,
 Temperatures continued below the nor maj for this season in the south, but the rains in Texas appeared to make a favor able impression on sentiment and there was considerable scattered selling. which seemed to represent both realizing by com mission house longs and the disposition of local professionals to take the short side for turn
 1t was rumored, however, that some large houses were refusing to ring out their May contracts and May continued to command a slight premium over July. This checked aggressive offerings but in spite of a bullish weekly weather bu- reau the list showed little reactionary power and remained at net decline of about to ! points until near the close, when there was a slight improvement on covering. Private reports from Mem phis state that there was a good spot demand there and that low grades had been sold more freely, with rumors cir culating that part of the cotton was to be sent to New York for delivery on con tract. Port receipts for the day were a little under last years and were slightly exceeded by the exports.
 Southern spot markets were generally unchanged. The western belt forecast was for fair and warmer weather. Re ceipts at the ports for the day 1713S bales, against 14,479 last week and HASA last year. For the week 75,0o0 bales against s. 195 last week and S4,544 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans S036 bales, against 5344 last year, and at Houston 300S bales, against 6934 last year.
