Since then the oystermen have re-
spect for Capt. Howard, who has since
become the commanderin-chief Of the
oyster navy. 1t was only when they
heard that Capt Howard was on his
way to the scene that the tongers OF
Sinepuxent Bay changed their tune
and concluded they would cease their
raids on the young oysters now on
the rocks.
Something of a sensation was caused
when IL was learned las, week that a
fleet Of tongers had suddenly appeared
In Sinepuxent and openly defied the
sheriff and states attorney OF Wor-
cester county. Sinepuxent Bay Is on
the ocean side OF the state and there
fore practically out OF reach OF the
oyster feet, which patrols only the
bay and It's tributaries. To reach IT.
the steamers must pass out the capes
and into the ocean, and then into the
Sinepuxent, which Is too shallow for
the steamers.
The tongers counted on this STRATEGY
cal fact In their favor when they de-
cided to openly defy the county author
tiles. They knew, too. that the sheriff,
is he valued his political position
could not AFFORD to provoke his con-
stituents, who consist In large num-
Der of oystermen and their friends.
They gagged the sheriff right. He
made a perfunctory demand upon
them to cease violating the law. But
the temptation was too great for the
tongers. Not for twenty years has
there been such catch or oysters
In the Sinepuxent Bay. These oysters
now run from one OF three inches. TX
left on the rocks for year or so they
would be worth to the oystermen
many thousands OF dollars.

Defies Police Power.
Time was when the oystermen de-

FISHERMAN and were generally re-

among them to arrest them. On one
occasion they captured the boat, dis
mantled II. threw the cannon over
board and sent the crew ashore.
But one experience they had taught
them a lesson. The most serious oys
ter war in the history of the state
brought Capt. 7. c. b. Howard to the
fore. In December, 1888, he was put
In command of the steamer McLans
| and ordered to the Chester river
where Il was suspected that piratel
were dredging In forbidden waters
AS soon as the pirate feet sighted
Capt. Howard they prepared to fight
using their usual tactics. The cap
tain made little speech to his men
urging them to do their duty and re
move from the fair name of thet
state the disgrace of having law
which the officers could not execute
He then took up his post In the pilo
house. from which point OF DANCE
he directed the fight.
Steaming slowly across the bows o
the feet, Howard commanded tn
dredgers to halt and be, searched TO
oysters. His smokestack was riddle
and his mate was wounded. The Nc
Lanes cannon was booming merrill

New Orleans. March 6-Cotton-spots were quiet. 3-16c down on low ordinary. ordinary and good ordinary; 1-l6e down on low middling and middling, and un- changed on all other grades. Mddling. 11hc Sales were 1900 bales on the spot and 400 to arrive.
 Futures opened quiet. to points down on the active months. as a result of unfavorable advices from Liverpool. where it was stated that the weakness of the market was due to tenders. The bulish figures put out by the National Ginners' association had been expected and the effect of the report on the mar ket was barely noticeable. Trade ad- vices both at home and abroad con tinued to be of depressing character. swhile fine wea ther throughout the south giving an opportunity for new crop oper- ations proved to be another bearish fac tor. The weekend figures were bullsh and these helped to check the reees- sion in values. At the close. which was steady, the active months were to 3 points below the close yesterday.

FIRM UNDERTONE
 IN STOCK MARKET Prices Hold The'r Own But Do
 Not Advance SEARS FAIL TO DEFRESS
Receivership of a Railroad Causes Weakness In Some Stocks, But This Is Not of Importance
 In Affecting Market.

New York, March G.-The desultory op- erations of the habitual trading element continued to make up the stock market to- day, and those operations originated all most exclusively within the four walls of the stock exchange This trading had no developments of importance in the general situation or even in individual properties to prompt it. Dealings are en tirely tentative and are only followed up In the event of the testing process un- covering an available lead. This they have uniformly failed to do during the present week. The efforts of the bear element to discover weak points earlier in the week having failed to dislodge any effective liquidation. The professionals have been more inclined to take the long side. As the floating supply of stocks is scanty, the buying by the traders is ef- fective in advancing prices and prices are held so long as they hold the stocks they have bought.
 News developments were mixed to day, and but little attention was paid to them The Hartman Pacfics were conspicuous features when prices were advancing without regard to the poor showing made by the January report of net earnings of both companies. The appointment of q receiver for the Western Maryland, sub sidiary Gould line, following the receiver ship for a Texas line, caused inevitable depression in other stocks of that group and even more in some of the bonds The incident was of little general influence, however, although discussion of the pros poets of some minor railroad properties with a slender margin of earnings con- tinued unfavorable. The stress laid on the official explanation of the receiver ship on the effect of the commodity clause of the amended interstate com merce law, requiring investment of own ership by railroads of coal properties, was commented upon for its bearing upon the anthracite group. Reading, however was feature of strength. St. Paul was helped by the confident views attributed to its president over the prospects of the company's Pacific coast extension.
 The estimates of the weeks currency movement indicated a gain of something like s5,000, GOO on balance from the interior since the last bank statement. The re- newaI of the inflow to central banking reserves must be accepted as reflection of unrevived dullness in interior trade.

ALLY IN PRICES IS LOST

New York, March 6-The cotton mar ket was quiet today and after some ir- regularity ruled easy with the close easy were reported of 15O,O00 bales. The mar ket opened steady at unchanged prices to decline of points and during the first few minutes sold off to a net loss of to points, with near months rela- lively easy as a result of liquidation and local selling, inspired by disappointing cables reports of railroad reeeivership and some talk of an easier spot situa- tion in the southwest. At the decline enough support developed in the way of covering, buying orders from Liver pool and a moderate demand from local bulls to rally the market to about the closing prices of last night on the near months and to a slight net gain on later positions, but this proNement was soon lost and the market was rather weak in the late session on a Liverpool cable saying that Manchester spnners were sending out circulars advising short time The close was at the lowest point of the day. Receipts were light and the into-sight movement bullish, but many thought that the visible supply state ment tomorrow would not show as large a decrease as last year. Southern spot markets were generally unchanged to Is of a cent lower.
 Receipts at the ports today, 16,47S bales against 19,430 last week, and 30,6s2 last year. For the week 10000 bales against 121 ,066 last week, and ,453 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 6375 bales, against SIT last year and at Houston 4109 bales, against Ses2 last year.
