PRICES CLOSE FIRM
Reaction Continues in the
Morning Hours Only.
NET GAIN IN SOME STOCKS
Slowly Improving Tendency Noticed
After the Noon Hour, and Before
Close an Advance Sets In-Unfnvor-
able Influences Yield Before Bulls.
Copper Prices Move Upward.

New York March T-In the early deal
ings in the stock market to-day the reac-
tionary movement that prevailed in yes
terday's trading made further progress.
and by the noon hour OF the stock ex-
change session the principal stocks were
selling from 2ls TO points below the high
prices on the present movement, which
were reached yesterday
II was noticeable that there was a ten
dency toward a contraction to dealings;
that is TO say. that no great amount OF
stocks appeared 10 be pressed for sale as
the market fell. After this, in response
10 very general feeling that the fall
that had occurred measured a pretty sub
stantial reaction, the market developed a
quiet but exceedingly firm undertone, and
there was obviously a good deal Of buying
back of stocks by spectators who had re-
Gently figured as sellers.
BuOyant Advance aS Close.
Then for a considerable length Of time
further slow improving tendency was
noticed. which IN the last hour of busi-
ness assumed the nature Of a buoyant
advance in stocks. Not only were all the
losses recovered that had been previously
made. but general and decided net gains
were substituted in their place; and there
was every indication that to-day's recess
sion had been more or less in the nature
OF q designed shaking cut of the market
of weak spectators by the large financial
forces whose efforts have been enlisted of
late upon the side OF rising values,
r,uor, oe r,oQcfoIa wa = ryaaGla during f1,a
last described process OF whatever could
be tortured Into the phase OF an unfavor-
able market influence, such as the Till
man resolution passed in the United
States Senate yesterday for an investiga-
ton OF the national banks. the failure
OF exact information from Washington
regarding helpful developments there. and
the news OF further laying off Of men
by some OF the Western railroads. All
this talk vanished, however, when later
in the day the market resumed its upward
march with unmistakable determination.
IndustriaIS the Feature.
Features Of the days trading. so far
as there were any. were the Amalgamated
Copper. Brooklyn Rapid Transit. and
United States Steel shares. Reports which,
II IS understood have substantial founda-
ton, have been in circulation for some
days past Of discoveries Of new and rich
veins OF copper in the properties OF
some OF the companies controlled by the
Amalgamated interests. and the slow but
persistent strength in the market for
copper metal. is also exerting a logical
effect upon the price Of Amalgamated
stock.
The price of copper has, in the past
OF cent In the pound. and it is evident
that below current quotations for the
commodity no great amount Of copper
Is offered by the large producers.

CHASE IS AFTER BEBER.
Negro Lawyer Complains of Unfair
Treatment.

A communication from W. Calvin
Chase, a negro lawyer OF this city, COM
planning Of unfair treatment, was yester-
day received by Chairman Bfeber, Of the
board Of election supervisors. OF the com
ing Republican primaries.
The attorney complains that he was un-
able to ile his petition with the list Of
delegates and alternates at the office of
the board on Saturday last, because the
chairman was out and the board was not
in session. This, he claims, was a viola
ton of the rules.
Mr.. Bieber said yesterday that the
filing Of a properly signed petition and
depositing of $3.50 with the finance com
mittee by noon of March II. did not re-

object OF the conference between Charles
NJ Sehwab, principal owner. and F. 5.

Attention was called by Mr.. Sehwab TO
the fact that the work being done under

continuation Of the present state of af-
fairs will necessitate the dismissal Of
skilled mechanics. This. he said. would

Wilson's King from w. M. Jones.
''Tbe produce of these mares were
first in both yearling colt and FLY
classes, to the great qualification of
Mr.. Rommell. Each class brought
forth perhaps the best show of yearl-
ings ever seenat Lexington.
I'm the class fer the get of stations,
Mr.. w. M. Jones had in Sir Bourbon

LIVE STOCK AND CROP NOTES

The following appeared in the cur
rent issue of the Stock Farm:
Again congratulations to Warren
Bacon. Justo 81 2:l01 and Alcnste
2:074 add froce 90 that gentleman s OBJ
servation that 1T is always Jay
Bird. JustO and Alceste we're both
bred by Warren Bacon, of Bourbon
county, Kentucky, and it is decidedly
feather in his cap to have given to
the world two such performers, and as
be is breeder on a small scale, think
he can claim the distinction of being
the only man, whose operations are
somewhat limited. who has bred to
such performers.
The pony show was a good one at
the Lexington fair. The feature of
the pony show was the saddle class in
which two full brothers were the con-
tenders, Cock Robin and Jocko, the
former winning. The winner belongs
to Master Edwin K. Thomas, Jr., the
bright and handsome little son of Hon.
and Mrs. e. M. Thomas. These ponies
showed five distinct gaits. Cock Robin
is three-year-old spotted stallion and
was favorite with the crowd Both
of the above named ponies are by
Allen Edelai's Harlequin and were
bred by Warren Rogers. of Bourbon.
We take the following notes from
a Lexington paper about Bourbon
horses at the Lexington Fair:
1.-The ring for produce of mare
brought together some splendid
entries. Mr.. A. G. Jones was given
first on Cornelia and Aurora, full sis
tiers, by Bourbon King, from Barthe-
MIA McCord by Chester Dare. The
dam of these fillies was purchased last
winter for the Government establish
ment for breeding carriage horses at

Test of Crecelius Law.

A sensational suit growing out of
t tobacco situation has. been filed in
the Circuit Court at Owenton, against
County Judge w. P. Yancy by Jones
Schooler, tobacco grower, alleging
false Imprisonment. Recently School
or sold tobacco he had pooled in the
Equity Society to an Independent
concern in Cincinnati for high prices.
Under the provisions of the Crecelius
law, enacted by the recent Legisla-
ture, which prohibits, under heavy
penalty, the sale of pooled tobacco.
Schooler was arrested on his return
home and placed in jail, Judge Yancey,
it is alleged, refusing TO accept his
proffered $4,000 bond. SchooIer was
later released and the suit followed.
This is the first case of the kind in the
State, and as the constitutionaltty of
the Crecehus law is involved, the out
come will be watched with much inter
est by growers everywhere as well as
the StaIe and county officials.

Teachers Must Be Paid.

State Treasurer Farley has issued
the following statement:
81 find that in order to paw the
school teachers the first instalIment
which is due them the first of October
we will be unable from now on I'D to
that date to pay very few warrants
which may be issued. There will bs
due the schools October i, next. abont
$440, 900. We now have a balance of
about 1882, 900 on hanG. The total COL
lections for August and September last
year were little over S672, 900. while
the expenses for the same months were
something over 1921 900, almost an off
set, as you will see. You can see at
once that if we pay the school we can
pay bat few OF the other claims until
after the sheriffs send in taxes collect
ed which will not be earlier than
November. The schools are entitled to
their money, because we have been
borrowing largely from the school
fund to meet general expenses. If we
had not done this, there would be
plenty in the school fund to meet this
payment.

The testimony OF Admiral Cowles
was centered In description Of the
explosion on the battleship Missouri,
which he commanded at the time. He
was asked to state the cause of the
explosion and the defects that con-
tributed to the accident Speaking Of
the open turret on the Missouri he
said that the time between rounds In
firing the big guns had been reduced
from 800 seconds to 40 seconds. The
lesson taught by the explosion. &C.
cording to the admiral's statement
was that the great danger In the tur.
rets was from fiarebacks, which In
themselves were harmless to the men
but often intense enough to Ignite
powder, and therefore the safeguard
was to expel gases from the guns be-
fore powder was brought within range
and that had now been accomplished.
