COTTON MARKET.

ouotations furnished By W. B. Hibbs q o.,
members Of the New York Cotton Exehange. Hibos
Building.
New York. April o-The cotton market dis
played good nllyfng power to-day. A certain
amount Of bull support appeared TO be peces-
sGry TO stop an early decline, which resulted
from further and rather general liquidation, but
weather reports were very unfavorable, and this
gave the bulls an advantage. The market had
been sold out a result Of last weeks trading
and what looked like final liquidation on Mon
day and little support required to threaten
the bear position and make possible an imprOTed
and 4 general improvement in the price level
The weather map and forJcaSts were about the
only influences discussed on the exchange floor
to-day. II Is generally recognized that q vet May
win jeopardize crop conditions 10 an extent not
heretofore thought possible. and perhaps nothing
like the crisis has Appeared In cott0n cultivation
during the past three decades.
Private adViees and oticisl records all unite in
CONSENSUS Of facts and opinions which leave
no room for doubt concerning the conditions Of
the larger part Of the eastern cotton belt Of the
Mississippi VALLEY. The ground Is soaked and
land prgpar1tions have been almost entirely i'm
possible. Outside Of Texas and parts Of Okla

GEORGIA PRIMARIES TODAY.
Wilson Is Favored over Underwood
I'm the Betting.

Atlanta, Ca, April SO-The Democrats
Of Georgia will tomorrow go on record
as to their choice for the Presidential
nomination in the first Presidential pref
erence primary ever held in the State.
The names of Clark, Harmon, Under
wood. and Wilson win appear on the
ticket in the order named, but it is con-
ceded that the fight is between Under
wood and Wilson. Clark and Harmon
have made no contest in Georgia, and the
votes they receive win be scattered. On
the other hand, Underwood and Wilson
have waged a strenuous campaign and
tonight the managers Of the rival head
quarters are both claiming the States
Impartial observers, however, predict a
close race with the odds slightly in favor
Of Wilson. The betting here tonight
is a shade in favor of Wilson. Senti-
mental reasons have aided Wilson in Sa-
vannsh, Augusta, and Atlanta. His early
education was received In Augusta. He
was admitted to the bar In Atlanta and
he married a Savannah girl

A. Fisher was nominated to-Say in the
Democratic primary for Mayor over A.

Fisher swept every ward In the city.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Fisher

April 10. following the death Of Hubert
snowden, who was a candidate against
Mr.. Brockett for Mayor. the result was
most amazing to the supporters Of Mr..
Brockett. AS the day wore on. how

that Mr.. Fisher had the upper hand OF

WALL STREET NEWS
Bad Report of Quarterly Earnings
of Steel Corporation Are
Discounted.
D. THoMAs G. sHoTwELL.

New York. April 3Os-Wall Street dis
counted to-day a Roosevelt victory In
Massachusetts and a bad report OF net
earnings for the first quarter OF the year
by the United States Steel Corporation.
The steel earnings were not published
until after the market closed. and they
were worse than even the most pessi-
mistic expected. The net was S7.S2e.sI1.
and after providing for dividends and de-
preciatioA a deficit Of q, s,2s2,134 resulted.
The early returns from Massachusetts
seemed to be In favor Of Roosevelt. 50
that Wall Street went home feeling good
that the advance had been checked for
the day. There is short interest Of i'm
portance In Steel. Amaigamated, and
Reading that will be useful tomorrow in
holding the market.
Late IN the day rumors were current
Of a collapse of the movement to settle
the Locomotive Engineers dispute with
out a strike. There was talk OF another
ultimatum by the engineers That was
the one bright feature OF the day, for an
ultimatum under present conditions viii
settle the striking business very quickly.
The people win not be in sympathy with
men who deliberately plan 70 whip their
employers by starving the cities. Such
a course win be as bad as the dynamite
deaths. There will be no strike
Reactions in prices were no more than
should have been recorded on q Tues
day session Of a bull market. Although
selling was seen here and there, the un-
dertone was strong in all departments.
Even Reading was strong and withstood
much profit-taking.
New High Records.
Several issues made new high records.
Among these were National Biscuit,
which went TO 161, Nevada Consolidated
Copper to q rs, and Quicksilver preferred
TO IL s-S Notable strength was seen in
Baltimore and Ohio and Harvester. The
advance in Quicksilver is attracting
much attention because the stock is one
of the oldest on the exchange, and forty
years ago was a speculative favorite.
Biscuits advance needs no explanation,
outside Of the earnings which assure a
continuation Of the extra dividends. II
and Can are two corporations that are
making remarkable gains in gross busi-
ness with net earnings growing In the
even greater proportion. Baltimore and
Ohio advance was due to the increase
In the market valuation of its S1O.0Oo,OOO
par, as was Readings advance the past
week.
Much excitement was caused by the
Steel earnings that although the market
had been closed half an hour when they
were announced, a considerable business
was done in them on the Consolidated
Exchange after that The common
stock sold down as low as Il IA. which
compared with a closing of q Is on the
New York Stock Exchange. The trad
ers who were in such a hurry to sell
may discover tomorrow that the peo-
pie who have been buying Steel so hcav-
fly the last few days are looking more
at the future than at the past.

ZIONISTS WAGING
TOBACCO CRUSADE
Followers of voliva in Illinois Have
Pitched Battle with Factory
Hands.

Zion City. Ill, April 3O.-The anti-to-
bacco crusade OF the zionists against
the factory workers reached the riot
stage this afternoon and in a pitched
battle between the factions, four men,
two Of them elders, were seriously in
jured, two were placed under arrest. and
scores Of men and women received minor
injuries.
The followers OF Wilbur Glenn Voliva
shun tobacco as they would a rattlesnake.
located near Zion City and the workers
Insist on indulging in tobacco. The Zion
lists for the past week have been cam
paIgning among the factory workers,
urging them by prayers and song to give
up the "fiIthy weed" Several minor dis
! turbances have occurred. Signboards
were erected facing the factory Of the
Cook electric plant and the workers were
plainly told in capital letters what the
disciples of Voliva thought OF tobacco
users. Last night the signboards were
burned down.
Police Take Hand.
To-day a platform, surrounded by wire
fencing. was erected near the factory
entrance and the -Voliva faction planned
to hold a meeting at 5 o'clock. when the
tobacco users poured from the building.
Shortly before the hour set for the
meeting 300 men and women, under the
leadership Of Elder F. Royal, marched
through the streets Of Zion to their tenn
porary meeting place. They refused to
disperse when ordered to do so by Chief
OF Police Hoover, who. with q score Of
deputies, started to drive them back.
Factory workers aided the police. Some
Of the Volivaites fed. others remained to
fight, while still others calmly read their
Bibles But the free use Of clubs in the
hands OF Chief Hoover and his men soon
had its effect and the 800 were routed
The platform was then torn down and
the fence demolished.

MEN AT BUSY CORNERS

The ID. u. r. has inaugurated a new
custom intended TO insure the safety
OF it's passengers on five of the most
con gested street crossings down town.
Men in uniform are stationed at the
crossings during the rush hours and

The movement of the street cars al
intersections as well as the movement
of other vehicles Is governed by the
traffic policemen. They signal the
vehicles to start or stop, but they can
not help the thousands of women pas
sengers who do not know the direc-
tion OF the cars, or when II Is best
TO board a car. The ID. U. X. men IN
uniforms will be handy men" TO help
the motormen, the conductors and the
passengers and cooperate with the
crossing policemen.
The plan was inaugurated Wednes-
day night. One man is stationed at
the Campus and Monroe-ave., for east
bound cars; another at State-st, and
WCodward-aye., and Grand River and
WCodward-aves., for north bound
cars; another at Griswold-st, and
Grand River-ave., for west.bound cars

COURT MAY ORDER
BUILDING RAZED

The case OF John Main and VIM.
r. Brown against Robert J. Davis,
weather strip manufactures, for an
injunction restraining Davis from
carrying on the manufacture OF his
wares in building on Algeraye..
near John R.-st,. and asking for the
demolition of the building, on the
ground that II was constructed in
violation of the building restrictions
of the street, was concluded In Judge
Colds court, Wednesday afternoon.
The court said that he was convinced
that the structure was built for man
ufacturing purposes, and not as
barn or garage, as contended by
Davis, and that he would order its
removal if ne found, on further in
vestigation, that 1t is on restricted
property He will look up the deed

point.
