NEW YORK. April 22.-This mornings
engagements of gold for export In addi-
ton to those made after the close of busi-
ness Yesterday, brought the total takings
on the present outward movement Of the
metal up to $S.OOO.OOO. This is very
considerable aggregate to be engaged
within such a short space of time. and
the foreign exchange market today af-
forded some slight evidences that the ex-
port movement of gold was proceeding
with undue precipitancy.
The days stock market was. however.
quite unaffected by the large gold ship
ments nor did the rates quoted for money
for various periods afford any reflection
of the same matter. In fact. the large
gold exports are mentioned only because
they were the most conspicuous feature
of an otherwise dull day in the financial
district.
The stock market was wanting in the
animation which was displayed in yes
terday afternoons dealings. although at
the opening OF business the strong tone
then displayed was resumed and the more
active stocks changed hands in compare
lively large blocks.
Crop Reports Negative.
Apart from the gold exports there was
little or nothing in the days situation OF
general Importance. The commodity mar
kets were more quiet than they have been
for some time past and the days advices
relating to the growing crops were OF
stances and prospects continued to en-
gage q large share Of the days discussion.
without, however, any apparent enect
either upon sentiment or price movements
In the stock market.
1haeLondon market was generally
E0x$y, including the American depart
ment. but foreign houses were buyers
here In balances upon fair scale largely
of the United States Steel issues. Pitts
burg and local "authorities'' were again
extremely liberal in furnishing estimates
of the earnings which the steel corpora
ton will report for the March quarter
tons did not vary widely from those
which have already attained currency.
Wioa fluctuations for 1ndustrials.
Unite1 States Steel common was by far
the most active of the industrial and mis-
cellaneous issues. although much wider
fluctuations keep pace in q number Of
other stocks in this quarter of the mar
ket American Beet Sugar scored q note
worthy rise, although the movement was
of limited interest and a firm tone COM
monty prevailed in that general depart
ment.
Reading and Union Pacific enjoyed their
usual prominence In the transactions in
the railway shares, but the movements In
both stocks. as well as those elsewhere In
the railway list, were OF an indecisive
character.
Little was done in the local traction
group aside from Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit, which was naturally unfavorably af-
fected by the passage by the legislature
of the measure reducing the fares to
Coney Island.
The bond market was again firm and
fairly active.

REDUCE ACREAGE.
Prest. E. D. Smith Issues a Call to
the Farmers-Farmers Must
Take Action.

To the Cotton Growers Of South
Carolina:
The executive committee Of the
South Carolina division Of the
Southern Cotton association has re-
puastrd ne to issue an address in re-
ference to the acreage for 1908.
Whatever may De the motives that
prompt il, il is Il Fact. nevertheless.
that the cotton mills in America are
running ON short time: some limiting
their hours per day, and others run
min" only certain days in the week.
The effect Of this will be to curtail
the consumption Of raw cotton.
1t is unqucstionably true that we
have made small crop--in fact so
small that if the mills were running
on full time it would hardly prove
adequate to the demand. 1t is earn
cStly desired by the manufacturing"
interests to So curlail The use Of raw
cotton that they will have on hand IL
surplus III the time the new crop com
es in.
If the acreage in cotton is not re-
duccd. We will be confronted. per-
h"rS. by surplus Of the old crop
and Il large acreage staring Us in thc
face. With these conditions ihc
price OF cotton would be put below
the cost Of production.
The effect upon every branch Of
industry and the people throughout
the South would be pitiablc indeed if
we are again to have low price cotton.
The situation is entirely in the
hands Of the farmer, and | earnestly
plead that they raise an abundance Of
home supplies, and this III itself will
necessarily reduce TN. cotton acreage.
| can assure the farmers Of Sou,n
Car"l!Ha that throughout the South
cln States an earnest appeal is being
made t" The farmers to adopt the
course which | recommend to YOU.
deem II my duty 10 Sounl this note Of
warnln" in ample time to fnrcstall II
large cr"p for ZOOS.
If we can make our supplies at
home. our debts will be small and
will moi need much cotton to pay
them LET every farmer profit by the
experience Of The past and make
enough at home to enable him to be
master Of the situation One course
offers continued prosperity, the 9TH
or financial emil trrasSment, inability
to meet your obligations and the
thousands of other evils that exist in
the South when cotton is cheap. Hol,l
your spots and plant provisions.
