was tied. True, it had stood one to
nothing prior to that session, but the

the ninth Stoffer poled a hit over
second and was sacrificed a base by
Fedor. Pittman flew out to center
and Rankin hit to Denny, who FUN
bled long enough to leave Rankin
safe at first. He stole second and
scored with Stoffer when Mettler hit
to Morris, who heaved wild to first,

COTTON PRICES ADVANCE.
HAVE GONE UPWARD ON BAD
WEATHER.
Big Trade Interests Work and JSuy-
ing for WaldOrf-AstOriaG Group I'M
portant Factors.

New York, March S.-Cotton has
advanced mainly. owing to cold, 'ainy
weather al the South and reports
that the season there is some h-ee
weeks late for crop preparations and
that the crop is liable to get a late
start.
This has been supplemented by
manipulation attributed to big trade
interests and buying by Waldorf As
toria operators, Wall streets bulls and
Memphis and New Orleans people,
The spinners' takings are large. Ex-
ports make big total. Some think
they will reach 100000 this sea-
son and that domestic mills will take
5000, 900.
The weight Of the crop the bulls
insist. Is off the market. The spot
situation is considered firm. Fer
tilizers sales are smaller. The trade
In fertilizers here Is noticeably dull.
In the Eastern belt, 1t is asserted
the acreage will be curtailed S to 10
per cent. The stock at New York
Is decreasing as prices here are at so
low point as to forbid shipments
hither. The movement Of the crop
Is large. There is believed to be
plenty Of time for the South to catch
up with It's delayed preparations fer
the planting Of another crop. Manip-
ulation Is apparent In the bull in
terest. The outside public is not in
the speculation. Waldorf and Wall
street bulls lately have been selling
to secure profits. and there are few
bears, so that the technical position
is not considered so strong as it was
recently. The dry goods situation,
however. is improving. and there are
more bulls than formerly. Further
rains are threatened and Waldorf,
Wall street and the South renewed
their buying on Thursday. A famous
Wall street operator is said to be buy
ing after some years absence from
the market. Today prices closed
higher in spite Of realizing. Spin
ners' takings We're very large for the

BLOCKING THE SEABOARD.
A Few Property Owners Obstructing
Work.

question that is asked several
times a day is. When will work on
the Seaboard begin " The answer is
hard to find, although it is a fact that
it can be said with entire truthful
ness that work should have been
started several weeks ago and would
nave been, but for the distractions
thrown in the way of the local COM
mittee by a few land owners who
have and still decline to grant the
needed rights of way or to refer the
matter Of compensation they are to
receive to amicable arbitration. This
attitude on the part Of three or four
land owners has absolutely blocked
poning the beginning of constructive
work on the road, since no work can
be undertaken until all the rights of
way contracts have been duly and
legally executed. Unless those prop
~ y o"HSAo o6 &C " iclSI Tie IlS IltS
of way to arbitration, it will be nee
essary for the committee to institute
condemnation proceedings, as pro-
vided by law, for the matter cannot
be delayed much longer. But con-
demnation proceedings take time and
the work on the building Of the road
may be held up for several weeks
longer. The committe has little trou-
BILE in securing the rights of way from
the majority of the property owners
through whose land the road will pass
some donating the rights Of way, 9TH
ers selling 1t at reasonable price and
others leaving the price to arbitration.
There has been little contention or
hard feeling over the rights Of way, a
spirit Of fair dealing governing both
the property owners and the commit
tee in their negotiations, and but for
few land owners who have thus far
declined to come to an amicable ad-
justment of their differences with the
committee, the work of construc-
ton would now be we'll under way.
