 Decline.
SPOT MARKETS WEAKER

New York, March 11.-Tradng in cotton continued quiet today, but the market showed declining tendency, closing steady at net decline of 4 to points. Sales were estimated at 125.0OO bales The market opened steady at a decline of 1 to 1 points in response to disappointing cabies At the start there was mod crate demand from scattering sources. and 1t looked as though the bull party was buying March. At any rate the mar Ret rallied right after the opening, and during the forenoon ruled about net un- changed to 3 points higher. Later 1t weakened under liquidation, part of which seemed to come through houses with Liv- erpool connections and at one time prices showed a net loss of to points on the active months, with selling encouraged by runors of easier spot markets and of possible shipments in this direction for delivery on May contracts The close was little up from the lowest South ern news concerning spot conditions was as rule conflicting, wires being received from some sections to the effect that hold CTS were asking fully recent prices. while there were other reports of an easier tendency, and a slack demand from spinners. The markets officially reported earlier were unchanged to 1-16c lower. Receipts continued very light, but the small interior movement is offset to some extent by the relatively light shipments.
 Receipts at the ports today, 12,S43 bales, against 14,931 last week and 24S02 last year. For the week, 100000 bales, against 105,5O3 last week and 1S7,O95 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 3632 bales, against 5910 last yeaar, and at Houston, 3l49, against 465S last year.

of a probable agreement between rail- roads and the national authorities in spite Of the lack of official confirmation. The conspicuous leadership of Union Pacific in the movement was due to revival of reports that the plan for segregation of that companys investments was ripe and would involve an extra disbursement to stockholders. The extra dividend rumor was applied to Northern Pacific also. The strength in Reading was connected with a report that a case was being pre- pared by the department of justice to test the commodity clause of the Hepburn law, which would exempt the coal roads from penalties for noncompliance pend- ing the decision of the suit. The reac- tion late in the day was partly due to profit-taking. The instructions from President Roosevelt to the commissioner of corporations to investigate stock trad ing was not generally known on the floor of the stock exchange before the closing. but it is probable that some of the late selling came from the early informed on it's contents. The market closed distinctly weak in consequence.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales par value s, ,S96,OOO
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

'1.1ICES OF STOCKS STILL GOING UP IllbstantiaI Gains Are Made < In Leading Issues 6OOD BACKING FOR BUYERS seneraI News From Railroad and Cor porate Interests Is Favorable and

1OOD BACKING FOR BUYERS

New York, March 1.-The aggressive lpeculative leadership which took hold bf the stock market late last week as- erted itself again today and prices were lifted substantially. It was not until hearly two hours of the session expired hat. the movement got under way, the Interval being filled by an uncertain krift in the price movement which marked
 he conduct of further testing operations by the leaders of the operations on
 he long side of the market. When oper- Itions were resumed in an aggressive lvay the improvement in the technical
 position of the market resulting from
 Yesterdays reaction became manifest. The hesitation in the upward movement yes
 Ierday had reached In a large extension If the short interest, as the profess
 Iiona1 element had been distrustful of he advance from the outset and were
 Eyatchful for an opportunity to put out Iresh short lines. These uncovered shorts lnade potential demand for stocks on he advance which aided the bulls ma- terially. The digestion of profits effected ty yesterdays selling also left the sellers h a strong position to renew their hold Sngs.
 ! The obvious centralization of the opera lions fostered the conviction that im- bortant financial interests were embarked In concerted movement for extending The rise, with the probable approval of
 banking interests looking to the fur lherance of coming plans for necessary financing which confront them. The up- Iurn in the market was notable for a Ievival of rumors of important develop
 hents which lacked yerit1cation and which kere in themselves developments which
 tgere in themselves vague as to form and
 Iomewhat confused as to substance. Most potent of, these in it's effect on the mar ct was a revival of the report set ahoat last week that conferences were In progress to secure assurance of permis- ion being granted by the interstate com Hnerce commission to the railroads to
 Ldopt a moderate advance in freight sates in return for agreements to main- lain wages by the railroads.
 There is general recognition Of the iecessity confronting the railroads to se- ! ure a readjustment of the proportion or profits to earnings either by reduction tf expenses or by increase of charges. The current assumption in the specula- lion is that the government authorities IyilI be so solicitous to aid in sustaining Eages of labor that consent will be given 10 an increase in freight rates. No offi- Hal sanction has been had for this view. reports were published to- ay of concerted plans amongst the rail loads to reduce wages The stress laid [ n the face of heavy curtailment of earn Iags by railroad officials is taken to laean that the argument for the necessity 1 f the cut in wages shall be enforced

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York. March 11.-(Sp ecial.)- Another dull market creating more bearish feeling as a result of a slow, dragging decline which at the end left the market three points lower than yesterday This small decline was due to some liquidation brought about by reports from New England points that cotton was being more freely offered from south ern points. The feeling is depressed one. with the trade look ing for further decline in Liverpool tomorrow of from 2 to points.

SIXTY NEGROES
 ATTACK GREEKS

Charlotte, N. C., March 11-The replac- ing of negro labor with Greeks by the Interstate Cooperage company at Bel haven, in the extreme eastern section of the state, led to a race riot late last night in which five of the foreigners are reported to have been fatally wounded The Greeks occupied houses on the com- pany's property and about SO negroes, well armed attacked the foreigners about midnight and drove them to neighboring swamp The Greeks were unarmed and offered practically no resistance. Bel haven is a village without police proLec- ton, and today the authorities of Beau fort county appealed to the governor for military protection, and acting under the chief executives orders the Washington Light infantry were ordered to the scene. Further trouble is expected tonight. Ow- ing to the. inaccessbility of Belhayen communication is difficult.
