TITANIC DISASTER
 EXPRESSES MARKET
Underwriters Forced to Sell Securities-Depression
 Results

New York, April 1.-The stock market suffered last week from the mental de- pression due to the great marine dsas- ter. This influence was prolonged by the suspense and tension during the voyage to port of the survivors and the intense struggle to obtain detailed information of the results of the tragedy. The actual money loss growing out of the sinking of the Titanic forced selling of securities by underwriters in the London market, which depress their prices. The grief of indiciduals was supposed to affect the conduct of market operations in some di- rections. The general atmosphere of sor- row in presence of calamity was of ef- feet in a department of affairs where sen- timent and imagination are never wholly abeent as governing motives.
 This factor intervened after the first day of the week had seen a smart recov cry from the reaction of the previous week The speculative contingent which had sold stocks on professed apprehen- sion of political developments were buyers on Monday to cover shorts in realizing movement. The extent of the reaction of the previous week apparently invited some renewed operations for rise by another element in the speculation. These opera tions seemed to suspnded in the con straint that fell upon speculation later.

ACTIVITY EVIDENT
 IN STEEL INDUSTRY
Prices Go Higher With the Tendency Still Up
 ward

New York, April 21.-Activity was evi- dent in all branches of the steel industry last week. New business came in at a heavy rate with prices higher and the tendency still upward. Agricultural im- plement manufacturers were among the heaviest purchasers, covering their re- quirements for the balance of 1912. fully 200. GOO tons of bars and 25,00O to 5000 tons of pig iron were taken.
 Carshops also placed orders for about 25,00 tons of structural shapes with inde- pendent mills and needs for 100000 tons more remain uncovered. Steel corporation interests advanced the price of bars to 1 2oc and plates and shape sto .25c base Pittsburg, effective on Saturday. A sim liar advance by independents becomes eff fcctive Monday
 The demand for open hearth rails for early shipment is pressing, and the Illi- nois Steel company Is unable to make shipments on new contracts before Sep tember. Rail contracts last week aggre- gated 7O,O0O tons including 5000 tons for the Erie, 10000 tons additional for the Northern Pacific. 6O00 tons for the Chi cagO ana 0redt western, fVw loi lhe iH- terboro. 3700 for the International Railway of Mexico and 5000 tons each for two west ern lines.
 Some large orders for wrought iron pipe were placed for shipment to California and for export. Plate orders were placed for boats on the coast and the lakes, and for sugar mills in Cuba.
 Structural work was more active late in the week, railroads being responsible for about one-third of the tonnage placed.
 The Chicago and Northwestern railroad placed the largest bridge orders-6400 tons. The greatest activity in pig iron was in the Chicago district, where 100000 tons were placed out of total of 10000 tons.

DON Carlos Sends Interesting
Communication.

Dear Advertiser: I will drop you
few lines to remind you that we
are still portion of old Edgefeld,
and doubtless will remain as we
have always been the garden spot Of
the old state. hope you will not
say am over sanguine when l say
we are moving to the front with
almost lightning speed. We have
just passed through series of Incl
dents that speak for themselves. We
had our land sale or sale of town
lots, which was in a measure salts
factory. Had the notice been pub
lished farther ahead the results
would have been much better, but
all things considered the financial
conditions just now are hard. We
organized our Bank to-day by elect
ing the director and all other OIL
cials, and the boys commenced un-
rolling their bills of money to pay
the cashier their first installment
with an eagerness that signifed bu-
siness.
The freshet in the Savannah riv-
er damaged the main ferry across
the river into Georgia and this has
been a heavy Set back to the busi-
ness of the town and hard on the
people in Georgia. A great many of
them had their fertilizer shipped to
Plum Branch. The heaviest loss
will fall on old Mr.. B. S., but the
old war horse with the determine
tion that has never forsaken him is
still with him. The ferry boat was
a complete wreck and the wire ca
BILE was partly torn from its an
chorage. We hope to get the fer
ry in working order in few days,
the weather permitting.
The farmers are up against
hard problem, the first of April
and nothing done. The oat crop In
some localities is doing we'll but the
acreage is short as many farmers
did not get their oats sown in the
fall and the rainy weather has him
dered the sowing. Since Christmas
it has been an impossibility, hence
the crop will be short. The cot
ton acreage will be cut % per cent
and the corn increased. but with
all the gloom before us our people
are hopeful.
Bro. Minis 1 will let the road
question rest as we have few gull
lies and mud holes, and no roads 80
to speak.
