COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. March 21.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance OF
las points in keeping with rather better
cables than expected. but ruled some
what irregular during the early trading.
Leading bulls seemed to be giving the
market a little support, particularly in
new crop deliveries, but there appeared
to be little fresh buying from outside
sources. and realizing caused reaction
to about the closing figures of last night
shortly after the opening. There was no
aggressive selling. however, and the mar
het during the middle of the morning
ruled steady within point or two Of the
best. or about 2a4 points higher on &C
tive months.
The market continued quiet during the
late forenoon. and prices at midday ruled
about to } points net higher. Private
cables from Vienna claim that Austrian
spiDners will curtail - per cent for nine
months. beginning with April. and it is
expected to be definitely decided before
spinners will curtail by closing down Sat-
urdays for three months. Reviews of the
domestic mill situation showed no fresh
feature. and there was nothing in south
ern advices to influence sentiment as to
preliminary new crop prospects.
Spot quiet; middling uplands, 14.60

Reason for the weakness reported from

ihfpments from India. Cash demand here

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

A couple Of lots Of the stock of the
American Security and Trust Company
sold today at the meeting of the Stock
Exchange at eS7l. The selling figures
represent the highest point reached in
the gradual advance made by this Sc
curity since the first Of the month, and
is believed to reflect the action Of the
board OF directors at the meeting to-
day, when 1t was decided to increase
the annual dividend from 10 per cent
to II.
1t was reported to the board of directors
that during the past year the earnings OF
the company had reached q net figure
of 141s per cent upon the capital stock OF
100000
One transaction was recorded in the
stock Of the Second National Bank in the
sale Of ten shares at 100. The bid for
more was 15S. with 1881 as the asking
price
This is the first transaction since the
gossip became current about a proposed
increase Of interest in that institution on
the part of e. Southard Parker and 8. W.
Woodward.
1t is thought that one or both Of the
men named Will enlarge their holdings
and probably one Of them at least will
soon be made member of the board of
directors.
There is nothing definite in the current
talk about possible change in the presi-
dency Of the bank in the near future. E.
o. Whitford who has been named in con-
nection with the position, stated today
that his business interests would not al
low him to assume such a responsibility.
even II such thing was desired by the
directors.
The bid for the stock of the George
town Gas Company dropped to Sc from
IS, which was the level of yesterday.
and there was no stock offered for
sale at any figure. 1t is supposed that
in addition to plans for ref1nancing the
company change in the directory is also
contemplated.
Only one of the Potomac Consolidated
) per cent bonds was sold. and that was
at par. The bid was then an eighth OF a
point less with the asking price. and a
quarter of q point above par. The SELL
ing price was the same as that of yes
terday. The course of this security at
the present time is watched with in
terest because of the Treasury bonds
that have recently been disposed of by
the company and which for the most
part. it is supposed, will find their way
on the market.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

BOSTON, March 21.-Very little bust.
ness is being done locally in either do
nestle or foreign wool. while the strength
abroad does not affect prices here Good
territory sells at 30 cents on a secured
basis. while Ohio feeces, such as three
eighths blood, can be bought for D cents
Buyers show disposition to wait the
opening Of the extra session Of Congress-
and with fairly full bins local dealers are
paying very. little attention to the new
clip. New Arizona woods are being Of
fered at 80 cents on q secured basis. but
the demand is light.
Pulled wool is also dull, and there is
very little interest in the foreign product

Short selling by traders who believed
the advance had proceeded as far as

met with better success in that quar-
ter. advancing prices of number of
these stocks sharply.

ran has had experience in like work
and has always taken great interest
in thelocal assemblies. He is a fluent
and ready speaker and will no doubt
manage the best assembly Oskaloosa
has ever had.
The program this year is the most
talented and the most expensive of
any yet given. 1t will cost almost as
much as last years program did, with
Madam Schumann- Heinke added. 1t
will be recalled that this one attrac-
ton alone cost the assembly $1,000,
and an extra charge was made for
the entertainment. This year there
will be no extra charge for any OF
the entertainments to those holding
season tickets.
This year also there will be but one
form of season ticket. 1t will be non
transferable and will be sold for
$3.50 if purchased on or before Aug
ust IL, After that date the tickets
will be $500 each. There will be
ten big days this year, though five of
them may be little bigger than the
others. The price of single admis
sion tickets will be raised for these
five days, which will include such
attractions as Hon. William Jennings
