ADMIRAL RAPHAEL sEMMEs.

Raphael Semmes was a Marylander.
He was born in Baltimore September
az, 1900. He was a man among mef'
He was admiral Of the Confederate
Navy. He commanded the Sumter and
the Alabama. In his cruises he de-
stroyed millions of property belonging
10 the United States, and he swept the
sea Of merchantmen bearing the Ameri-
can flag. He was fearless. but never
reckless. He fought intelhgently but
desperately. One of the greatest feats
enacted en- the ocean was his fight with
the Kearsarge, which had the advantage
Of men and armament. The engage
ment occurred towards the close OF the
war, within sight of French territory.
He fought his ship when sinking. His
last guns were fred as they reached the
water of the sea. His record as the
commander Of the Sumter and the Ala
bana is thrilling. He was man of
the type Of the naval fighters whose
guide was duty and whose answering
courage led them to wrench victory
from the very jaws Of defeat. II has
been planned to celebrate throughout
the South the centenary Of his BIRTH and
TO that end all Camps of Confederate
Veterans are expected to note the day
becomingy. In Baltimore, Nd, the ex-
ercises will be on an elaborate scale, as
well as in the large cities.

regarding the supreme courts action was alone responsible for the early depression.
 The taking of another million dollars in gold bars from the assay office for shipment to Paris tomorrow showed a force of depletion of bank reserves still in operation. The per cent call money rate of last Friday left an execution of possibly firmer money rates for day or two. No higher rate than per cent was touched during the day, and opinion on the money market settled back into con- viction of prolonged ease. The promise of extended abundance of money seemed to be the cause of sharp advances in a number of industrial preferred stocks, United States Steel leading with rise of points to the record price of 1.171s. The high rate of investment return on these stocks, with period of industrial expan- sion promised to add to the security, Is offered as a reason for this movement
 The war among the trunk lines over lm- port freight rates and the fear of an un- favorable showing of progress by the crops in the forthcoming government re- port of conditions had some influence on the early heavy tone. The outburst of speculative excitement following the com modities clause decision swept away all other considerations, and the market was strong to the last.

Hubbard Bros. 6 co.'s Letter.

New York; May S.-(Special.)-By our opening this morning Liverpool has equal led the decline in this market on Sat urday. and prices at our opening showed a decline. A good deal of realizing was in evidence from the old longs, a DOT tion of which came from Wall street and Chicago. The cotton was well taken by fresh buyers from the Mississippi valley and the central belt where last weeks storm had delayed planting operations. The local sentiment is bullish on account of the numerous complaints of a late start which are being received and the ring purchases together with this new south ern buying. brought about slow im- provement in a quiet market to Saturdays closing prices. The recent storm has passed off the coast, and weather con ditions over the belt today were gen orally seasonable, which had a tendency to restrict western and northern buying. The market lacked snap as was the case Saturday, but the realizing of the old longs is well taken by new buyers who expect a recurrence of bullish enthu- siasm on the first indication of more bad weather.

Coffee Market.

New York, May S.-The coffee market for futures opened quiet at unchanged prices notwithstanding the partial decline of A franc at Havre, and while there was some scattering liquidation, trade ruled generally steady on near months and a little trade buying which seemed to be promoted by mail advices from Santos claiming that fully 100000 coffee trees had been severely damaged by the storms of last March. The market closed steady, net unchanged to points higher. Sales were reported of H ,250 bags, including May, 705@7. .10c; July, 6.55@8. 800; August, 615c; September, 6.05c; December, 5.S5c,. and March, 5.90c.

COTTON MARKET
 VERY IRREGULAR Prices FIuctuate Widely Under
 Various Influences BEARS HAMMER PRICES After an Advance on Covering and Bull Support the Market Weakens
 But the Close Is Above
 the Lowest.
BEARS HAMMER PRICES

New York, May 3-The cotton market was more or less irregular today, but showed the presence of continued good demand on setbacks and closed steady, net unchanged to 6 points higher. The opening was steady at an advance of 3 points on May and point on October, but generally 1 to points lower under iq- lidation and local bear pressure which was encouraged by prospects for better weather in the south and the reactionary tendency of the English market after rel atively firm openings
 After selling off to a net loss of about 3 to points, prices rallied on covering and local bull support with May partic- ularly firm on small demand from shorts in the absence of offerings. That posi- ton sold up to 1060c, or points net higher, while later months sold 8 to , points above the close of Saturday fol- lowing which there was a sharp break on the forecast for fair and warmer weather over the belt generally, and at one time during the afternoon the active positions showed a net loss of 59S points.
 The close was up from the lowest with near positions leading the rally on re- newed covering and continued reports of damage by recent storms and low tenn peratures in the central belt. Advices from Memphis claim that the frosts over Sunday will necesstate a great deal of replanting in parts of Arkansas and Mis- sissippi, but many in the local trade do not consider the cotton to be seriously hurt by low temperature. Southern spot markets officially reported were general ly unchanged

GAINS MADE IN
 WHEAT MARKET Prices Are Nervous During Most of the Session NEWS IS MOSTLY BULLISH Improved Weather Conditions Have Depressing Effect Upon Corn, Which Closes steady-oats
 Close Easy.
NEWS IS MOSTLY BULLlSH

Chicago, May 3.-Demand by bull lead CTS had strengthening effect on the wheat market today. The close, how ever. was irregular, the December deliv- cry being weak and much lower while other options were a shade to 1 cent higher. compared with Saturdays finals. Corn and oats closed easy and provisions steady.
 Traders In the wheat pit were divided in their opinions regarding the situation and as a result the market was nervous, although during the greater part of the day sentiment was inclined a trihe to- ward the bull side. Buying of the July delivery by leading bull was one of the features of trade and was largely re- sponsible for the f1rmness. News of the day was about evenly divided, foreign advices being bullish and domestic news more favorable to the bears. Foremost among the latter was the official fore cast for warmer weather generally throughout the principal wheat growing sections of this country. This had a depressing effect on the distant deliveries and was the principal reason for the closing decline of 7sc in the December option. Demand for cash wheat here was brisk and Minneapolis and Duluth also reported a good demand. A number of crop damage reports were received, tell ing of injury to the growing crop in west ern Kansas by high winds and insufficient moisture During the day the July de- livery ranged between $1.115s and s1. 1291 and closed at s1.12A@1 .12ss. May closed l. rxf1 I ro1 n, the previous close.
 Improved weather conditions for farm work had a depressing effect on the corn market, particularly the distant deliveries but the smallness of stocks and a con- tinued excellent demand for the cash grain partially offset this influence Trade in general was of small proportions and the market lacked any special features. The range on the July delivery was between sSA@6sssc and 69@6s1sc. At the close prices were 1sc higher to Ac lower than Sat urdays final quotations, July being at 6S9sc.
 The oats market was subjected to coin siderable selling, based on the more fla vorable weather for farm work, and dis played more or less weakness all day. There was free buying of May and selling of July by holders of the former de- livery. July sold during the day be- tween 491scQ50c and closed at 49s4c.
 Provisions were inclined to he firm, owing to the monthly report of stocks in store here, which showed light stocks of meat and lard. Shorts and local pack CTS were the principal buyers. Prices at the close were unchanged to 15o higher compared with the previous closing.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:
