REACTION IN MARKET
Recent Rapid Advance Leads
to PrOft-taking.
FAILURE TO SUPPORT VALUES
Reeeding Tendency Helped In Some
Degree by the Knowledge that the
Supreme Court VIII Resume Its
SittinEs Monday After Two Weeks
Reeess-HaIted by Easter Holidays.

New York, April 2-The first substan-
tial reaction IN the stock market In the
course Of the last eight business days
occurred to-day, and the event was IN
no quarter regarded as surprising. In
view OF the rapid advance in prices re
Gently There were not a few indIca-
tions yesterday. chief among them be-
ing the large reduction In the borrow
ing demand" for stocks after the end OF
the exchange session. that the outstand-
ing volume Of speculative commitments
for the fall in prices was. much less than
y had been previously, and a market
IN which this happens is, OF course. IN
a much weaker technical position than
one that enjoys the protection referred
70.
Yesterday, too, large number Of oper-
ators abandoned their policy OF fighting
the rise in the market. which they have
pursued for many days past, and there
fore to-day everything was ripe for the
reaction that took place
Time for PrOft-takinE.
II was a time Of proht-taldnG and
liquidation all around, with no particular
attempt TO support values in any direc-
ton, and as a consequence the market
left on at the lowest prices and at de-
clines that were even larger and more
misceilaneOusly distributed than yester-
days advances. The receding tendency
was no doubt helped In some degree b.
knowledge that the Supreme Court OF the
United States VIII resume its sittings
on MONDAY after two weeks recess.
and that a decision may possibly then
be handed down IN the commodities
clause case.
In London to-day It was said that the
influence OF the approaching Easter hol-
idays was already making itself felt in
the stock market, therein restricting deal
ings something Of a damper also being
placed upon the conduct Of business bv
reports, which were afterward contra
dicted, that the King Of England had suf-
fered paralytic stroke.
Paci1cs Being Watched.
Here more or less selling OF stocks
was provoked by the inference drawn
by spectators from Mr.. Harriman's
passing remarks to the reporters on his
return from the West last evening, which
seemed to scout the probability OF in
creased dividends on the Union ana
Southern Pacific common shares.
Relative features Of strength IN the
market were up to the very las. the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern pre-
ferred stocks. accompanied IN the early
part OF the day by a rise also IN the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul com
mon shares. and which was based In all
probability upon the particularly large
earnings now being made by the railroads
In the Northwestern part OF the country.

New York. April At was definitely
announced to-day. on ths best OF au-
thority, that a cut in wages would be
made known by the various subsidiary
companies making Up the United States
Steel Corporation on April Is. 70 take
effect on May !. There viii be no wage
cut by the corporation itself. as such.
promulgated from its Offices IN this city.
Thus the prediction OF Judge Gary,
president TO the effect that the United
States Steel Corporation would not cut
the wages OF its employees Is technically
borne out.
Watched for the Move
When the independent steel companies
began cutting wages recently, with the
fear OF adverse tariff legislation as an
excuse. labor people and Wall street out
sideTs began looking for a cut by the
big trust. II has been awaited from day
to day with much anxiety, despite Judge
Gary's somewhat enigmatic prediction.
Now II comes out that the subsidiary
companies OF the United States Steel Cor
pOration have been holding back their an
nOuncement Of wage cut, and have even
now set the enforcement OF the new scale
for May !, with the purpose OF letting
all the independent companies do their
cutting first
This has not only the advantage OF
letting the Independents accumulate the
brunt Of the odium for wage reduc-
ton. but IL VIII also prevent an ex-
Odus OF skilled trust workmen into IN
dependent mills, and It also serves a steel
market coup OF far greater Importance
than either OF these considerations,
namely, this:
Rearrange Price Schedule.
Inasmuch as the independents have cut
their wage scale uniformly al the rate
OF 10 per cent. the steel trust win be IN
position. II II announces a cut OF Is per
cent on May !. 20 rearrange its price
schedules so sweepingly that II viii cap
Jure the entire steel market FOR months
TO come. and insure an enormously
swollen business for the coming year.
The United States Steel Corporation
pad out Sls00o0,0oG in 1877. On that basis
a cut OF Is per cent means that the com
pany viii save S25.0000o0 on labor alone.

Cotton Experiment farm
Am acts Much Attention

A number of cotton buyers and others
interested in cotton growing went out to
the Grasselli cotton experiment farm yes
terday for the purpose of making COM
PARSONS with conditions as reported in
many other parts of the state. Among
them were John w. Wade of the Howell
Cotton company, r. H. Gilbert of Inman,
Ackers & Inman; Mr.. Muchmore of Wood
ward & Stillman, r. A. Burt of the J.
II. Arnold company and w. d. Nesbitt of
the Warrant Warehouse company.
The visitors were interested to note the
large prospective yield of cotton that Is
promised on average highland during
what is known ia be an "off year." by
applying the improved method of soil cul-
ture with the necessary amount of fertil-
izer. 1t was pointed out that 1t is not
hard to grow one acre of good cotton
any year, but to grow a uniform field of
% acres an "off year. that will yield
from one to one and half bales per acre.
makes the "Grasseli method" whatever
that may be. worthy of the attention of
every intelligent cotton grower in the
south, this being the unanimous opinion of
those present.

Here is the way it all happened. Cap
tain Harvey has been having quite
struggle to get sufficient funds to rent
new hall for the army in Birming-
ham and to put the local organization
on its feet The responses have been
fairly generous but the most unusual
gift came from a lady who rang him
and asked him to call upon her as she
wanted to make small contribution.
Captain Harvey lost no time in hunt
ing her up in one of the downtown
buildings.
The lady at once explained that she
was dressmaker and that IL
years ago she left the room for
few moments and when she came back
she found her pocketbook had been
rified and something like $40 had been
taken. She called the police but they
We're never able to get any trace of
the money Months and years went by
and the lady abandoned all hope of
ever recovering it,
The other day she was walking down
Twentieth street when a well-dressed
young man stopped her and asked her
IL she did not recognize him. He re
minded her that he had worked for
her as delivery boy IL years before
and told her that he had taken her
money while she was out of the room.
He said he wanted to pay it back, but
that he couldn't pay 1t all at once. He
gave her SIS which the lady at once
gave to charity. He is now paying
back the remainder of the money IN
installments of So week. The lady
wished to devote it all to charity and
it was this weeks payment which
Captain Harvey was called upon to ac-

Subscriptions to the fund to defray any
possible damage or extra expense to the
entrants in the automobile pathinding
tour have reached $3.50, as given out by
Chairman Hill Ferguson of the fund COM
mittee. The total amount to be SUBJ
scribed is 5000, and it is expected that the
committee will complete its work by to-
night in securing subscriptions enough to
fill out this small amount.
Up to this time the committee has not
exerted itself to any appreciable extent
in securing subscriptions, believing that
the automobilists would so readily see
the value of this pathfinding tour that
they would contribute without having to
be asked.
The full amount can be raised in few
minutes by the committee soliciting it.
That is an assured fact. They will be
given until noon today to make their
voluntary contributions Wholesale firms,
retail concerns. banks, business offices
and the like will all receive benefit in
way from this tour, outside of any pub
lie PRIDE and they are all expected to
contribute.
Mr. Ferguson's phone number is 2460

ingness to subscribe and the amount will
be sufficient.
That unbounded interest is being shown
In the pathfinding tour for route be-
tween Birmingham and Atlanta is at

two automoblists to get together without
discussing the affair 1t is also illustrated

or in any place where there happens to
be a group of men.
Evidently there is going to be large
attendance at the meeting of the Birming-
ham Motor club Friday night at the Bir-
mingham Athletic club. 1t is urged that
every member be present as the ultimate
outcome of this pathfinding tour means
the building of splendid oiled roads, free
from dust, from Birmingham to Atlanta,
Chattanooga, Nashville, Memphis. Me-
ridian, Mobile and Columbus, Ga. The
benefit and pleasure to be derived by the
automobiles and value to the farmers in
having good road, it is pointed out, is
untold.

1t was stated that the seed was select
ed from a prolific variety, removing all
faulty and undeveloped seed.
This land was sub-soiled and well
worked, regardless of the rains. The rows
are five feet apart and the cotton two and
half feet apart in the rows, and it will
average five feet high and is so we'll
'bushed OUT that 1t laps in these five
foot rows.
1t is further stated that only 600 pounds
of fertilizer per acre was used, three ap-
plications of 200 pounds each. This showed
the farmers cost for fertilizer according
to last seasons prices, to be about S. so
per acre.
1t is said to be clearly demonstrated
by comparison with similar lands ada
cent to this field that as much cotton
will be grown on this Is acres as is
grown by the average farmer on rs.
This experiment farm is just opposite
the Grasselli Chemical company's plant,
on the A G. S. railway, and has ELECTED
much comment from those passing. 1t is
said to be worth the trip of any one in
terested in farming to visit this field.
