NEW YORK. Feb, 27,-without
any further financial development to
speak of, or any specific cause that
could be adduced, the action OF the
security market today was Ike that
OF the day before in strong contrast
with that . of its previous course
through the week. The vigorous and
sustained buying movement which
put In an appearance on Wednesday.
was continued; and while all this
might have been due merely to the
buying in OF stocks on a large scale
by spectators for the fall. il gave
TO the market very different face.
The best explanation for the change
was the one generally offered today
that reasoning from elementary com
mon sense standards Wall Street had
arrived at the conclusions that prices
81 stocks had discounted and more
than discounted anything OF a sub
seantially unfayorable nature that was
likely TO happen, either In the near

cables and the evening up of March
contracts In advance OF the FIRST no
tice day tomorrow. The hitter ap-
peared to be the dominating factor
after m opening advance owing to
a comparatively narrow market.
The gossip lie that the strong spot
interests who took up cotton on jan
uary contracts have been short of
March against longs in May and that
a good deal OF the certifIcated stock
would be rendered on their March CON
tracts.
The cotton market opened steady
at an advance of three 10 seven points
in response to the cables, and the
active months sold about seven to
eight points net higher right after
the call, Subsequently fluctuations
were comparatively narrow and ir-
regular. The market closed irregu-
lar. some months being slightly higher
and others lower.

SOUTHSIDE
COMMITTEE WILL
MEET PATRONS
CLUB AND CONSOLI-
DATION COMMITTEE TO MEET
IN MANN SCHOOL.

A joint meeting of the consolidation
committee of Manchester district and
the School and Civic league of Mann
school will be held tomorrow night
at SIS O'Clock in Mann school.
The consolidation committee. ap-
pointed OF a recent meeting to look
into the advisability of consolidating
Mann. Martin and Moore schools, will
submit a report to the league. Since
the appointment the members of the
committee have visited almost every
patron Of the three schools and talk
ed to them in regard to merging the
three institutions. and according to
them the plan has met with little OPP
position.
Among the guests Of the occasion
will be former Superintendent of
Public instruction J. d. Eggleston
and r. G. Stsarnes, successor to Mr..
Eggleston superintendent of Ches-
terrified Schools william G. Owens will
also be on hand.
The residents living in the vicinity
of the three schools have been de-
string to merge the buildings for some
time, and when the matter was
brought before them by Superinten-
dent Owens they readily endorsed the
movement. Should the plan be sue
cessfuliy concluded a large building.
equipped with modern facilities. will
be erected at point accessible to all
of the children attending the three
schools.
Falling Creek school being too far
from the other three schools will not
be considered in the consolidation.
However, efforts are being made to
secure funds enough to erect an up
to-date school at that place by next
September. The people living there
are progressive. and believe that they
are entitled to a good school The
three schools now being considered In
the merging plan, together with Fall
ing Creek school, are all in bad con-
dition.

Board Opposes Owens.

Despite the efforts that are being
made by certain members Of the
school board of Chesterfield county
to secure another appointee TO the
SUPPLEMENTARY of schools. friends of
William G.. Owens entertain little fear
as to his failure to receive the re-
appointment by the board OF public
instruction IN April At present Mr..
Owens is filling the unexpired term Of
DR.. c. NJ Hazen, having been ap-
pointed one year ago,
The reasons for opposition to Mr..
Owens by members of the school
board is said not to be due TO the
fact that his work has not been en-
tireiy satisfactory. but because OF his
political views, When Mr. Owens re-
ceived the appointment to the posi-
ton a large number OF schools were
needed throughout the county. 1t
was largely to his efforts that several
buildings have been constructed.
while several are now in course Of
erection.
A meeting of the Chesterfield school
board will be held in few days to
appoint another candidate to be
placed before the board of public
instruction at the meeting in April
