the world can give In health, pleas
ure and pleasant anticipation, Mr..
and Mrs. John s. Flower, and child.

poison that Oh Sunday Sept. 9th, 1903,
at DR.. Loofbourow's Hospital. took
her soul to it's maker.
Caroline was born in Denver, Oct.
B, 1892 and her young life was like o
rising sun to all her scquaintances,
and q large part OF the citizens, for
Caroline was an out door girl, full OF
life and girlish beauty. a picture for
admiration on her cherished horse
or in her pony cart. In Monroe,
her love OF horses and out door dis
position made her a picture to our
townsfolk from her earliest years.
In her friends and relatives the joy
must rest that she drank sweetly of
all the joys OF girlish life. Having
everything to live for-she has gone
TO happier world no doubt.
Surely the sympathy OF this COM
munity goes out to the bereaved
ones in their sorrow, unstintedly
and sincere.

The Second Quarterly Con- ference
OF the Leonardtown Circuit OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church held at
St. Paul's church last Saturday,
proved one of the most interes ting
and successful in the history OF the
circuit.
The financial reports far excelled
any records ever made on this
charge. The pastor is highly graft
fed with such o tangible demonstra-
ton Of affection. appreciation and
laudsble support.
Generous cords have been touch
cd and looseued under the spiritual
fires OF the grand camp meeting
campaign.
This is the sure way TO pry open
the windows OF heaven with bars of
gold. We naturally expect that
heaps OF blessings will be poured
down upon US both temporarily and
spiritually. A further exhibition
OF magnsnimous kindness was ex-
pressed in q hearty and unanimous
vote that freed the pastor from all
further pastoral cares for q month
and sends him on q much needed
vacation.
With thankful heart and easy mind,
We leave the town, all behind;
And hope on our return TO find
The same dear friendship that ever bind
A pastor and people Of this kind

prices by agreement. There is some anxiety as to how the figures of the March quarters earning, which are to be presented to the directors meeting tomorrow, will be received Informa the amount of the monthly rate of net earnings over the $5,034,531 to which they had sunk in December at the end of the preceding quarter. But the ne quarter must, nevertheless, make de- cidedly unfavorab1e comparison with the $32, ,995 to wh ich the aggregats for the last three months of last year attained in spite of the early effects s of the financial crisis. The price of copper also was reduced both here and in London.
 Railroad traffic officials had no in- provement in the freight movement U report but hopeful views were heard from them on account of the good crop prospects. Some impression was male by the Southern railways demonstra- tion of ability to economize in its March earnings statement in which a decline of $692.O15 in gross earnings was met by cut of $957 ,7S5 in operat- ing expenses, resulting in gain in net of s265,770 or over 2S per cent for the month. Union Pacific, St. Paul, Atchison. and Pennsylvania were car ried to new high levels for the year. but the movement in the general list was less effective.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,2S6.000 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

SOME SALES FOR PROFIT

New York, April 27.-The action of the stock market today was confirma- tory of the large professional opera tions last week, based upon the pros pective success of the Pennsylvania bond subscription. The subscription lists both here and in London, were closed almost as soon as opened and the bankers will require several days to classify the mass of bids and give accurate details of their amount The success of the loan is emphatic and brilliant. The speculative tone In stocks, nevertheless was more or less unsettled and irregular. The closing of the subscription lists for the Penn sylvania bonds, in effect, throws that transaction into the category of events closed and, consequently, of non-effect for speculative purposes. Profit talk ing sales were in order on the part of those who had anticipated this event and were plainly in evidence.
 The efforts to extend the rise in prices centered on Union Pacific. h. ferences of the principal benefit to ac- crue from the Pennsylvania success were made to pply to Union Pacific. Its forth coming bond issue was held to be largely insured of a similar sua- cess and hopes were professed of like heavy participation in it's case by for eign investors. The reviving effect Of the Pennsylvania incident was percep- tible in less degree in other ways. Con- fidence was maintained that money market conditions were to remain pro- pitious for the new security offerings. This confidence apparently was not affected, by some slight hardening of rates for time loans which has followed the new demands upon the money mar ket. The gold export movement also was renewed and conditions abroad shaped themselves in way to promise a continuance of this movement. Heavy exports were indicated for Wednesday.
 Discount hardened in London and Paris, and sterling exchange rose at the latter points. The strong return of the Imeprial Bank of Germany and the reduction in it's official discount rate were regarded as showing a desire on the part of the central bank tn ere to hold control of the money market and to move for a further accession of gold, with view to strength ening the German financial position. These were some of the days influences which were adverse to the rise in prices.
 United States Steel was conspicuously heavy. It was hurt by reports of a break in the ranks of sellers of iron who have been stribing to sustain

COTTON MARKET
 !UMBLES AGAIN New Low Points for the Season
 Are Reached LIVERPOOL BADLY SCARED
Urgent Liquidation Follows the Signal to Sell and Prices Ease Down to Low Figures With an Advance
 Near the Close.

New York, April 27.-The cotton market made new low records today, and while the closing tone was steady, last prices were i9 to l3 points net lower. Sales were estimated al 275, 600 bales
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to a net advance of 1 point, which was better than due on the cables as d result of covering and reports of unfavor- able weather in the eastern belt, but al- most immediately weakened under south ern selling and scattering liquidation. 1Ahe decline caught stop loss orders and for time there was urgent liquidation, seem ingly for local account as a result of which the market ruled very nervous and unsettled.
 After selling at S14c for May and S.29e for July, or about 21 points net lower, prices rallied slightly on covering of shorts. buying orders for this purpose coming from both local and foreign sources. Private cables reported that German splnners would reduce their work ing time by 20 per cent, and there were reports that Carolina spinners would shut down. while the southern selling here was believed by many to be against actual cotton.
 Further showers and continued lower temperatures are looked for tonight in the eastern belt, but the western belt forecast was for fair and warmer weather.
 The weekly weather report tomorrow is expected to reflect the severe storms and tornadoes of the past week, but local traders appear to lay little stress on these condition in view of the southern selling in the local market. The close here was about points from the lowest.
 Receipts at the ports today S67S bales, against 9OS3 last week. and Ii, 479 last year. For the week 6O0OO bales, against 5S, 1o7 last week and 73,0S1 last year.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, April 27.-Weak cables and fav- orable weather for the fall sown crop in the southwest had a depressing effect to- day on the local wheat market, the July delivery closing at net loss of half cent. Corn was 1c higher. Oats were un- changed and provisions, 51a@15c lower. The weat market was dull and sentiment was bearish from start to finish. The market opened weak because of a decline of one pence at Liverpool which was based upon larger shipments from Russia during the last week. Excellent weather in the southwest also caused considerable selling at the start The statistics of the day were generally bullish, but seemed to have little effect The close was weak July opened uarted aqt 3Sc lower to SS& to SS%, advanced to S91s

Mills are declining business at some of the prices offered and are giving notice of determination to curtail pro duction stili further.
