REPORT ILLEGAL FISHING.

Violations of the fish and game laws
are reported to be a common occurrence
in diff rent sections of the county this
spring, particularly with reference to
fishing with nets in the small lakes and
streams of the county.
A strict enforcement of the laws on
this subject would doubtless result in
much good, and local fishermen are
agitating the organizing of club TO aid
in protecting the game fish in these lakes
and streams.

answer to questions refused before. The effect of previous hearings on the stock market Is too recent to allow their Sug gested resumption to be contemplated with entire equanimity. The strength of the morning was connected to an irn- portant extent with the further recovery In copper metal in the London market. Money here was firmer, although the change was scarcely perceptible.' New York exchange at Chicago has fallen to 9 cents discount while foreign exchange here is firmer. Discounts hardened in London and the likelihood of further reduction in the Bank of England dis count rate is lessened by the movement of gold from London to Paris It is ex- plained, however, that this movement is due to repayment of London discounts which were purchased by the Bank of France last year. The movement there fore represents a working back to nor mai conditions which is expected to op- crate towards the easing of the stress which has been perceptible in Paris. To- days statement of the Imperial Bank of Germany also showed rapid further re- cuperation from the strain of the April settlements reflected in the statement of two weeks ago Last prices of stocks were near the lowest
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, S1 ,29S, 900. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

STOCK MARKET IN STATE OF LETHARGY Narrowing Proportions and De- cline of General Interest REPAIRING DAMAGE DONE District Is Full of Rumors of conse- quences Left By the Severe De-
 cline and Heavy Losses
 Involved.

New York, April 1.-The only factor of any importance to be drawn from the action of todays stock market was it's narrowing proportions. due to the de- cline in general interest in the operations. The demand from uncovered shorts which was responsible for yesterdays brisk price movement in spite of the small dealings, was carried somewhat further today before it had exhausted its in- f1uence on prices. Dealings then lapsed into a state of lethargy. This condition is regarded as rather seasonable, especial ly after so severe liquidation as was completed last month. The financial dis trict is full of constant rumors of the consequences left by the severe decline in prices which took place then and the heavy losses involved. The fair inference that much is to be done in the way of repair of damage done at that time gives creditablity to rumors and makes sen- timent sensitive to their influences. The losses involved, 1t is generally believed have fallen about spectators of impor- tant kind and whose operations have been relied on for a long time past for leadership of any important movement in the market. The reduction of the re- sources available to such operators in It. self would constitute an obstacle to an immediate resumption of speculation on any such scale as has been witnessed in the market in the last few years It is rather obvious also that the party in- vestment demand for stocks which was conspicuous at the extreme low level of prices and which may be relied on to ef- feet an actual reduction or the floating supply of stocks, has died out almost entirely. at the recovered level of prices, and has subsided also in the bond mar ket.
 The course of the money market with Il my active resumption of demand for cur ] sncy from the interior is another sub i ct of uncertainty. With the added prob- l ms of the outcome of the years crops, l with the extent to which the slow ii down in trade may go, the halt in st speculation becomes intelligible. N developments were of small conse- qt ce as they affected the market Much responsibility for the reaction was a,- trfbuted to published report that hear ings would, be resumed tomorrow by the interstate commerce commission into the Hartman railroad operations with an application to the courts to epforce an

 Cables.
DROUTH IN TEXAS BROKEN

New York. April 17.-The cotton mar ket was lower today, owing to rains in the southwest and liquidation by recent decline of to F points. Sales for the day were estimated at 150,000 bales
 The market opened barely steady at an advance of point on April, but generally 3 to points lower in response to Liver pool cables and the weather map show ing general rains over the south. The firmness of April was due to only one transaction, but served to check bear pressure at the opening and the market eased off gradually under scattering liqui- dation until the prices showed net loss of about to 12 points on the liberal esu- mate for tomorrows receipts and the detailed reports from the belt showing that the drouth in Texas has been pretty thoroughly broken
 But fear of near month manipulation prevented aggressiveness on the part of the local bears and during the middle session the market ruled quiet and steady at prices or points up from the lowest, yielding a gain toward the close to light local selling for both accounts. Last prices were at practically the low est point of the session.
 English futures were under expecta- tions, but spot sales continued full and southern spot markets were generally un- changed The wet weather in the south west was the main factor with precipita- tion in Texas ranging from about one- half to two and eleven-tenths inches.
 Receipts at the ports today 20,3H bales, against 12777 last week and 176S1 last year.
 For the week 95,00O bales, against 103,- 094 last week and 97,550 last year.

New Orleans, April 17.-Spot cotton closed steady and unchanged; middling 1034; sales were 2050 bales on the spot and 100 to arrive.
 Futures opened quiet from to 4 points below the close yesterday. Owing to re- ports of rain throughout Texas and Louisiana and the prediction of warmer weather for Texas, there was a slight weakening of the market, a weakening which became more marked as the day wore OH. Later reports to the effect that the rains throughout Texas and Louisiana had not been as general as at first sup posed, and a prediction of cooler weather exerted a bullish influence and created a firmer market The close was steady prices ranging from to points below the close yesterday.
