THE SNOW CONCERT

One ol the greatest successes in a musical line, given tu Skagwsy for a long time, was the Snow concert of Wednesday evening, st E ks hall.
 Miss Snow has a voice of rare aeNt 6tuly and sweetness and her high notes she reaches win the u,mos, ease and drscsnds Co the lower ones most grace fully. She happily lacks that facial c0urorriou which many singer, seem to think necessary to show their method of training.
 The young lady vas at ease before the audience and responded with charm Ing grace to repeated encores which were utte song gems.
 The rendition on the violtncello, of Mir. Bridges first number was superb, but when he responded to repeated ap- plsuse with Schumauu.s ever new, ever beautiful Traumeret he held his hear CTS speIIbooud.

COTTON MARKET
 IS DISAPPOINTING Close is Steady With Prices
 Unchanged BULL SUPPORT IS ABSENT The Opening Is Considerably Lower, But the Market Rallies Before the Close on Covering of Shorts
 and Bad Texas Reports.
BULL SUPPORT IS ABSENT

New York, September 3.-The cotton market was irregular within compara- lively narrow range and closed steady net unchanged to points lower Sales were estimated at 10000 bales.
 The opening was steady at a decline of to ' points, owing to slightly lower Liverpool cables but prices almost i'm mediately rallied to about the closing figures of last Friday on covering and some buying orders in the hands of wire and commission houses. As soon as these orders had been executed however the market showed the absence of sus- tained support and during the early aft ernoon sold off to nearly the opening figures under liquidation by early buyers bears Toward the close it rallied par tially on covering of shorts but trading was very quiet after the first half hour and the market showed little feature
 Detailed weather reports showed scat tering showers In the south, but there were more reports of shedding from the eastern belt than of late. The weekly weather report was postponed until to- morrow. Two private condition reports issued showed a deterioration on the average of 17 to A per cent. New York Cotton Exchange figures made the crop of 1s07-07 13,5sss4S bales.

 proVement In the Money Sit
 uatlon and Loan Rates.
CONFIDENCE IS RESTORED

New York, August 3-The stock market today gave substantial evidence of the improved feeling in cnancial circles. There was an active demand which embraced a wide range of securities of different classes and which resulted in a compre- hensive rise in prices In the course of the days operations. The demand was considered largely professional and a large proportion of the professional buy ing was for the bear account to cover short contracts. Besides this there was a professional bull party that was active on the long side of the market and which was a material factor in pushing the bears to seek cover.
 There was sharp suspicion manifested over the early advance, so much so that room traders sold freely at the opening advances over last Fridays prices, argu- ing that last weeks advances here and the subsequent gains abroad after the New York holiday set in on Saturday had extended as far as was feasible. Con fidence in the improvement in the money situation was a broad, underlying infu- ence in the whole market. The bank statement published Saturday, Whlle the stock market was closed, showed no greater deterioration than was expected and rates for call loans showed no easing tendency today, which was due to the passing of the monthly requirements.
 Some sentimental effects was produced on speculative sentiment by the post ponement of the hearing in the govern ment's suit against the Standard oil com o1c of decision 0f the question of immunity fcr the Chicago and Alton for the rebates of the Standard oil company. The relaxation in the money market was most pronounced in the time loan department, where something like a collapse occurred. Bids were reported cancelled and the rate for six months, which has held obstinately at ' per cent, asked, relapsel to per cent.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales par value, ss9O,OOO. United States 4s registered de- clined F and the coupons 14 per cent on call.

GENERAL DRUDE
 READY FOR ACTION
THE FRENCH GENERAL IS PRE- PARED TO BEGIN A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN AGAINST FANATIcAL MOORS.

Paris, September 3.-The foreign office has no reliable information regarding tn wheheabouts or purpose of Mulai Hafig and thinks it possible he may still be at Morocco City, where he was pro- claimed sultan The foreign office also is in the dark as to whether Sultan Abdel Azz remains at Fez or is march ing on Rabal.
 General Drude is expected to immedi- ately assume vigorous offensive. Gen eral Brugere, formerly commander in chief of the French army, in an inter view on the Moroccan question is press ing the opinion that the situation is very full of formidable difficulties and may re- quire ten years of French effort the sac rifce of lives of thousands of men and the expenditure of hundred millions be- fore the paciticaton of the country is af- fected.
 e Vice Admiral Philbert, commander of the French naval forces O. the Moroccan coast, cabling from Casa Blanca reported that the allies on Sunday routed a large force of Moorisn cavalry seven miles south of the city. The admiral did not give any details of the engagement.

He Fears Conviction for Causing the
 Death of Ills Father.

Somerville, N. J., September 3.-Hear ing that his father John c. Stryker, q wealthy farmer had died as the result of his attack upon him, Richard Stryk- er his son, 35 years old, tried to com init suicide in the jail here Sunday. He cut his throat with a pen knife and will proba bly, die. The patricide, it ap- pears, was looked upon as prodigal son. He had left the farm, wandered about the country for years and only recently returned. His father, 1t Is stated. did not approve of his habits and 1t was while he was importuning the old farmer for money, according to the charge, that he shot the old man.
 Richard Stryker claimed that he act ed in self defense. His mother was the only witness to the tragedy and if the son ever goes to trial 1t will be her testimony that will decide his fate.
