kill Rowan and he Vandiver) would
erase his name from a bond and allow
Jones to be imprisoned to answer a
charge of arson.
Jones testimony in its most impor-
tant features was not eorroborated by
other state witnesses, although some
testified about remarks Vandiver was
Ialleged to have made that Rowan had
circulated the statement that he VAN
diver) had been intimate with Mrs
Jones.
Governor O'Neal was witness
Wednesday and testified that he heard

lanta the latter part of 1912 He was
| drought here and released on a $4,000
bond and has been at liberty since.

STOCKS At HIGHEST
POINT OF THE YEAR
Trading Broadest and Heav-
lest in Weeks-RelaxatiOn
of Money Rates

New York. April Am outburst of
speculative activities today brought stocks
to the highest point of the year,. estab-
fishing gains of 10 to 10 points from the
years low figures ON a number of inn
portant issues. Trading was broad and
the heaviest in many weeks with nu-
merous advances of 1 to ? points. At
times the movement was halted by real
izing, but these offerings were easily alb
sorbed and the rise was carried further.
Heavy profit taking in the last hour,
however cut into the advances.
There was no development of impor-
tpnce to account for the action of the
rates, the promising outlook for crops
and evidences of excessive short selling
in the recent decline were pointed out as
justifying activity by the longs. The
immediate cause, however. appeared to
1e in concerted operations by powerful
speculative interests.
The advance in stocks in the last fort
night has been accompanied by a cor
responding movement in bonds in which
trading has been on larger scale, at a
steadily rising price.
There were some rather wide move
ments among the less conspicuous stocks.
Cotton oil made 8 point gain, Rubber
rose nearly 5 points and Beet Sugar 4
points.
The bond market showed strength. To-
tal sales par value s255Ooo0.
Panama Is, coupon advanced &c on
call.

WHEAT MARKET
CLOSES AT ADVANCE
Speculative Sentiment Has
Stiffening Effect-Fluc-
tuations Narrow

Chicago, April 4.-Aetive speculative
sentiment served to stiffen the wheat
market today and at the close prices
showed net advance of 14dssc to $sa1ac
{ Corn ended the. day a shade lower to
isc higher; oats a shade to 1s@l.c higher
and provisions irregular. 71s@1oc lower 10
a0e higher.
Wheat was given a lift at the start on
the higher cables and the complication Of
the Balkan situation through the defiance
of the powers by Montenegro.
Speculative buying was based also on
reports of export sales and the strength
of coarse grains.
Fluctuations were narrow, good buy
ing taking place only on each dip. So
pronounced was the control of the bull
leaders that the fact that Argentine ship
ments are the third largest on record. at
3.022, 900 bushels. had no depressing eff
feet. Seaboard clearances of wheat and
flour were equal to 44s.o00 bushels. Pri-
mary receipts of wheat were $4,000 BUSH
els. as compared with 81, 200 year ago.
Corn was subjected to early selling pres
sure but grew firmer on buying by one
of the large houses toward the close.
Oats were dull and prices were within a
narrow range. Provisions ruled generally
lower under selling of May products
by longs. Expectations of weakening
of the hog market helped depress prices.

COTTON RECEIVERS
FROM EARLY BREAK
The Close Is Steady With
Last Prices Net I'm
changed

New York, April a.--The cotton mar
ket recovered an early break during
todays trading and closed steady with
last prices net unchansed to points
higher
The opening was steady at an ad-
vance of to 3 points In sympathy
with higher Liverpool cables, but
there was a renewal of yesterdays
selling movement in the near months
and prices quickly weakened. 1t look ed
as il the same strong interests who
have been heavy sellers of May for
the past two or three days against pur-
chases of July were selling the near
months again this morning. while there
was also active outright liquidati
May broke to a net loss of 10 points 5
in consequence and for a moment or
two sold even with July. At this de-
cline there was a big demand for MAY
by brokers who sold July against their
May purchases and who, moreover
claimed at prevailing differences May
could be profitably purchased here
against sales of May-R lime in Liverpool.
This buying steadied the market and
offerings slackened I'm away which
some said suggested that the weaker
May long interest had been pretty well
liquidated. Covering of shorts then be-
came active enough to rally prices, al
though there appeared to be little
broadening of outside demand. Rather
more bullish weekend figures than
expected, owing to the comparatively
large amount of cotton forwarded TO
mills abroad, rains in the central belt,
and reports that the flood situation
was more serious in the Mississippi
valley, no doubt contributed to the
recovery which carried off the active
months about / to points net higher.
The close was a point or two off from
the best under realizing by early buy
ers.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. April 4.-(Special )-Quite an
effort was made today to influence prices
by offerings of May against July, but
at the narrow difference the large spot
houses were buyers. 1t is not yet known
whether the foreign houses holdings will
combine and take their May cotton for
shipment to Liverpool. as they might
well do at the present differences.
Such an effort has been under way
while the local traders have been selling
May freely on the theory they would
be rendered. Whether II results In any
thing is as yet unknown. but that dam
ger exists. The market finally recovered
the entire decline. closing higher on all
deliveries except May. which is un-
changed. Our local trade remains very
bearish on the absence of speculation
crop news and possible overhows are
without weight
