Miss Stella Powell and Mr.. George
Alexander Davidson were united In
marriage at the brides, home on
Swami street The wedding was very
simple but beautiful and was witness
ed by only the members of the two
families, owing to the recent death
of the brides mother.
Rev. A. j. futile, a brother-in-
law OF the groom, performed the
beautiful marriage ceremony Of the
Baptist church.
The bride wore a very dainty and
ATTRACTIVE gown OF white soft mater
ial, trimmed in lace. A graceful
tulle bow graced the couture, and
brides roses were held in her arm.
After the ceremony wedding
breakfast was served in the dining
room, which was lovely in delicate
brides roses, flowers so appropriate
and beautiful for the occasion.
Mr.. Davidson and his bride de-
parted at noon for Williamson, which
place will be their future home.
The bride is the daughter of the
late Rev. and Mrs. w. +. Powell, and
has always reigned as one of the
most graceful, gracious and brilliant
young ladies of the city. Mr.. David

the hope that the board would take &C.

for the new addition to the mechanical
building for which an appropriation OF
$4,000 was made by the legislature. The
idea is prevalent that the trustees of the
college have abandoned the idea Of erect

the proposed electrical engineering de.
partment. and that the $4,000 will be
used in the erection Of a large addition tc
the present mechanical building and that

the report that the governor had decided
to veto several Items In the appropriation

COPPER VERY DEPRESSED
Some Encouragement Over the Iron
and Steel outlook-Rumors Of
a Cut in Prices.

NEW YORK, April 1l.-Active interest
In stocks today narrowed to the group of
securities Of the public utilities corpora
'tions supplying New York city. The pro-
fessed reason for the volatile rise in that
group was an advantage to accrue to the
traction companies by absolution through
judicial decision from the obligation to
supply transfers between the Third ave-
nue. and the old Metropolitan street rail-
way lines.
Consolidated Gas was brought into the
movement by the action on the part of
the company TO obtain release of the
funds tied up in the hands of court out
OF the charges in excess Of the eighty-cent
rate. the enforcement Of which has been
successfully contested in the courts.
The bonds of the companies shared with
the stocks in the wide advance. This
movement failed of sympathetic effect on
the general list, which was inclined to sag.
The selling was moderate. but there was
no important demand to Offset 1t. Copper
securities suffered from some positive de-
preston on account of the continued de-
cline In the price of the metal A special
explanation advanced today for that de-
cline was the resale from China of some
speculative holdings of copper bought pre-
vlously. Encouragement was perceptible
over the iron and steel outlook. and ru-
mors We're reiterated of an intended cut in
prices. as soon as financial COn0lIl0nS

FINANCE AND TRADE IN
MARKETS OF THE WORLD

sentatives Of Pittsburg banks and trust
companies met at the Colonial Trust CON-
pany Offices here to discuss the plan OF
having the bank creditors take up the in
debtedness of the investment company
along the lines taken by the merchandise
creditors of the electric company.
This plan of the merchandise company
is to take the amount Of their claims, 81
100000 in asserting stock, 100000 OF
which Is to be issued The balance was to
be taken up by the stockholders.
The bank creditors hold about $4,000 OO
of the investment company's collateral.
and 1t was for the purpose of getting all
the banks to assent to take up their claims
in this stock that the meeting today was
called. The claims of the banks amount
to about 100000. which would leave a
like amount of cash as a working basis.
when all the stocks had been issued.
Many Of the bank representatives to,
day readily assented to this plan. and
those who did not commit their institu-
lions were not authorized to do so. but
will present the matter. to their various
boards of directors, with their recommen-
dalton that the boards assent to the plan.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. April ia broker, who
has been active on the floor of the stock
exchange for many years. says that so Tar
as he was able to observe yesterday the
market was as professional as it has been
for any previous day recently. He added
that those who had profits were disposed
to take them, but that there did not seem
to be any considerable amount Of stock
being pressed for sale for the account of
important interests outside of the board
room. Those who had been looking for
little better market temporarily thought
that the improvement would eliminate
yesterday and that today prices would
probably be somewhat lower.
Observers who were Of this opinion
pointed to the London prices this morn
ing in substantiation Of their ideas of the
market for the moment. They are not
willing to predict. however, as to whether
the London quotations would be followed
by corresponding declines in our markets,
but they were disposed to believe that the
trading would be on small scale. and
that the professional element would prob
ably turn back to the short side.
The railroad earnings that are coming
to hand are discouraging to optimistic in
terests. which had predicted that by this
time they would begin to show consider
able improvement. These interests are
forced to admit that even the roads that
were able to make favorable comparisons
with the corresponding weeks Of last
year are now reporting unconNortably
large decreases. Most railroad managers
say that appreciable improvement in rail-
road traffic cannot be looked for until this
years crops begin to move.
Il
An unfavorable condition with the rail-
roads about which little has been said
has been receiving considerable attention
lately For several years prior to the
panic Of last fall 1t was impossible for
the railroads to get prompt deliveries on
materials. equipment or anything that
the panic developed. most OF the roads
had coming to them large amounts Of
materials and supplies. and In some cases,
equipment. When the trouble came It
was impossible to cancel the contracts,
and the railroads were compelled to &C.
cept tho deliveries Of materials and sup
plies and equipment ordered at the high
est prices in recent years. Not only this.
prices.

Several important railroad men say that
not In some years have the railroads as
a whole had SO much money tied up in
materials and supplies for which there Is
no demand. and in equipment which is
absolutely unproductive. as at the present
time. They say that this condition has
been an important factor In the increases
in operating expenses Of many Of the
roads. as they were compelled to pay for
these purchases and charge tho expendi-
lures to the cost Of operation.

freely to support their securities.
T..
One feature of the stock market is
narrow and tame contest between three or
four minor bear pools and the big mar
ket leaders. who are apparently in entire
control OF the stock exchange situation
for the moment The leaders are making
a speciality of scalping the bear pools for
expense money. Some Of the bear leaders
made what were to them large fortunes
on the great decline. In most cases they
have played back into the market good
ly share Of their winnings. and what they
have left Is being taken away from them
dollar by dollar. They do not like punish
ment and their outcries assail the ears OF
the street.
All told, about $50. 900 in short-term
railroad and other corporation notes are
af1oat, and this amount will be largely
increased during the next few months
The existence Of such an immense output
Of short-term paper cannot be construed
into q bull factor, try as you may. A bond
market SO ill-favored that 1t will not stand
for the refunding Of this amount Of paper
is about as bad as 1t can well be.

The exact whereabouts Of the 100000
600 pounds Of copper shipped abroad since
November and cached somewhere on
the other side of the Atlantic cannot be
definitely stated. The one thing sure
about it Is that the metal has not gone
into consumption. and that some day It
will make its temperance. That Inn
mense mass Of undigested copper Is the
secret menace over the copper department
Of the stock market.
The government crop report created
hardly ripple. 1t was about what every
body had looked for. AS far as 1t gives
a line. the report is favorable and fore
shadows another good year for farmers
and planters. It Is rather early to realize
