BULLS AND BEARS
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 15.-It was conceded
by most stock market observers this morn
ing that the declines in the active issues
recently were due chiefly to renewed ag
gressiveness on the part of the bear party
rather than to extensive liquidation on
long stock. 1t was expected that prices
would be attacked again today, but some
active interests IN the market believed that
for the moment the lowest figures would be
reached today, and that there would be a
fair-sized rally within the next two or
three days. No one appeared to predict
however. that campaign for material
advance in the general market would be
undertaken in the near future. 1t was
thought that the conservative interests,
both in speculative and banking circles.
would exercise extreme caution until it was
possible to get more definite Information re-
garding the crops and the effect upon gen.
eral business of the retrenchment policy OF
the railroads. The opinion was quite freely
expressed that the bear party would be the
aggressors in the market during the next
few weeks, but 1t was seriously doubted
that their operations would result in
serious drop in prices like that of q month
ago.
Bankers who are familiar with the plans
Of the st. Paul management regarding the
Pacific coast extension stated again this
morning that in their opinion work on this
new line will not be stopped. but carried on
as rapidly as possible. They say that so
far as they know no important legislation
against the company regarding the Pacific
coast line Is either pending or In contem-
plation. They call attention to the fact
that 1t would be impossible to stop work
altogether without mourning damage suits
from contractors which in the end would
equal If not exceed. the possible savings
In the cost Of materials and labor by post
poning the work for six months or year.
A broker who keeps in very close touch
with the copper metal situation and who is
reasonably familiar with the affairs of the
Amalgamated Copper Company says that
while the company does not publish state
ments of earnings at regular periods. 1t
may be taken as fact that the profits are
large and that the stock is firmly estab-
lished on an per cent dividend basis. He
states also that according to his informa-
ton there has been no change In the cop
per situation recently, but he does not
think the dividend will be increased at this
period simply because of general conditions
and the attitude of the public and of legis-
lative bodies toward corporations.
In view Of the uncertainty regarding the
crops and the possibility of a falling off in
business. conservative interests think it
would be unwise for the United Steel d.
-rectors to increase the common stock dfvt-
dend this month.

Unsettled Conditions Marked
the Opening Today.
GREATER THAN LAST WEEK
Americans Were Exceptionally Heavy
in London.
ADVANCES FOLLOWED A RALLY
Irregularity Succeeded Heavy Volume
of Trading-The Money Markets
Sterling Exchange Reacted.

NEW YORK, April 15-For a short time
after the opening of business in today 9
stock market the dealings presented a
greater degree of unsettlement than was
shown at any time last week. AS a matter
of fact there was at the opening of bust
ness very little in the developments over
Sunday TO which the course of prices could
be referred. Western dispatches set forth
further impairment of the winter wheat
crop through the ravases of insects. but,
on the other hand. the grain market opened
showing reactionary tendencies.
American stocks were exceptionally heavy
In the London stock market, which was
otherwise steady. and foreign houses were
sellers in the local dealings of upward of
10000 shares. London operators appeared
to be puzzled to the reasons for last
weeks decline in the local market, and
there were many inquiries to the stabili-
" of the New York financial situation.
New Iord heard, on the other hand rather
vague reports of financial difficulties in
London. so in that regard the honors were
easy between the two points.
Shortly after the opening of business an
nounCement made of the suspension of
the first firm to confess to embarrassment
during the long unSettement of the mar
ket and in consequence an unduly dis
agreeable impression was created. Aside
from the expressions of sympathy. which
were rendered toward the individual mem
bers of the firm. the matter was accounted
of little Importance market-wse.
A Vigorous Rally.
Following upon. in point of time at least
the announcement of the suspension, the
stock market rallied very vigorously in all
directions. Previous to this rally practical
ly all of the active issues in the various
departments of the market. had shown de-
clines from Saturdays closing figures,
ranging from 1 to points and over. The
fact that in many cases these declines were
wholly, or in part. recovered before mid
day, furnishes a good illustration of the
very extensive swings in prices during the
forenoon
The trading during that time was in large
volume. but there was subsequently some
falling away in activity, which was accom-
panied by increased irregularity in price
movements.
In fact. the trading throughout the bust
ness session could hardly be described as
showing any but feverish and uncertain
tendencies.
Close observers of the dealings reported.
particularly at the outset of the market.
that there vas in evidence both further
liquidation on quite q large scale. and also
what appeared to be quite urgent covering
of short contracts.
These conflicting cross currents might be
named accounting sufficiently for the
irregularity of the market at large. One
circumstance which served to increase the
willius ncss of operators for fall in prices
to reiace commitments was the evidence
that the short interest in the market had
become unduly extended, doubtless in con-
nectfon with last weeks reactionary ten
denotes.

SEVEN MURDERED

Building Burned To Cover Up Crime
But Bloody Clothing Tells
the Tale.

Dallas, Tex, April 15.- That j.
w. Price and his entire family, con-
sisting Of five, a step-daughter and q
niece, residing at Grayson, GunteI
county, sixty miles from Dallas.were
murdered and their bodies cremated
in their home is strongly indicated
by a post-mortem examination after
the fire.
The dead are: j. T. Price, Annie
Price, IS years old; Homer Price
aged IA; Roy Price, aged 6; Belle
Price, aged 20; Jettie Byers, aged
II; Aline Upchurch, niece residing
with the family, aged 10.
The smoking ruins of the house
were discovered by NJ. w. Elmer, q
nelgnbor. early this morning, and Il
was at first thought Price had at
tempted to start a fire with kero-
sene, and that the can had exploded
killing him instantly. Later investi.
CATION by DR.. Bouls, of Gunter; Les
lie Moore. of Van A,styne. and DR.
Shelby, of Gunter, revealed the fact
that remnants Of the clothing worn
by the girls which had escaped the
fire, were soaked with what the ply
sicians believed to be blood, while
near the body of Homer Price wal

was also believed to be blood.
It is now believed that the In
mates OF the house were murdere,
and the residence burned to concea
the crime. Neighbors say that Price
who was wealthy had much none,
in the house, and think that aftei
killing him the eldest son was prob
ably murdered to prevent detection
and the house set fire. The bodies o
all except Price were found upstairs
although that OF the son was som'

THE soUTH's ADVANTAGE.


Industrial New England and the
Pacific slope are scenes of repeated
strikes. In few months the farmers
of the west will be crying in vain for
help in the harvest fields. In the
south labor is actually going to
waste.
When we awaken to realization
that the race question is susceptible
of solution on its economic side rath-
err than its social side. we shall re-
alize that the south is the only sec
tion Of the whole United States that
has a sufIiciency OF good common la
Dor. What was and what might have
been is a threadbare topic. Race sep
aration is an idle dream for idle
minds. Let us face conditions as tney
exist. and use them for our practical
benefit. instead Of using them only
for an excuse.
The co.ored rcce we shall have
with us always. in increasing num-
bers. in Increasing potency for good
or evil Here is the south's work cut
out for her. Snail the colored men be
an economic force, creating wealth
for the south. or shall he be develop
ed into a burden to the country and
a menace to society? It matters not
what others have said and done. 1t
matters not what attitude tne north
ern press may take. This problem is
a southern problem and the south
must so.ve the problem in its own
way, ignoring comments and criti-
cisms OF long distance observers.
The question IS now confronting us
in all its seriousness. Some people
allow themselves to sink into and be-

come a part Of their Environments.
Others rise above their environments.
adapt them to their ends. and turn
an apparent curse rnto a material
blessing. This very thing is possible
IN our own section. The colored man
is the natural laborer OF the south.
He always will be. To supplant him
with imported labor IS as Impractical
BILE as II is absurd. 1t would simply
produce more idle colored people, and
therefore more id.e labor. Idle labor
means cheap labor, and the cheap
ness of 1t here would drive the la
borers back north, where there Is a
demand for them.
The contention is made. and not
altogether without merit. That colored
labor Is declining in efficiency. Then
1t is our part to train colored labor
to the highest degree of efficiency.
Have we not patience for the task?
That is an admission of Incompetent
Icy, rather than an expression OF the
|enormty of the task; for patience is
a necessary element of the master
mind, and infinite patience is an at
tribute of divinity itself.
Let us have less talk of race war,
and more of Industrial harmony. Let
us not forget that in discouraging
the bad negro, 1t would also be the
logical thing to encourage the good
negro.
Atlanta, awakened to grave sit
uaHfon. has determined to give as
much public attention to the direc-
ton of the colored energies into the
channels of industry, as 1t has to a
condition, which bad press and
worse politicians have done their ut
most to create. When this movement,
inaugurated in that progressive city,
gets in full swing, the south will have
an advantage over the rest OF the
country that a century may not
serve to modify.
