from our midst we'll known and
highly respected citizen, Mr.. Geo.
Harrison Yeiser, who resided on his
farm near New Boston. Mr.. Yeiser
had been in failing health for the
past two years, but was confined to
his bed only few days. His sudden
demise is distinct shock to rela-
tives and many friends, Deceased
was an ardent church worker, having
served as deacon in the Baptist
church for fifteen years. He was
also superintendent of the Sunday
school Of Mt. Olive Baptist church,
New Boston, at the time of his death.
Il Have Home in That Rock" was
a favorite song of his. He sang
while confined to his bed. Rev.

spoke the last sad rites. Interment
was last Monday afternoon in New
Boston cemetery. His bereaved par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Abraham Yeiser,
of this city, are very aged, having

TRADING IN COTTON
GOODS VERY LIGHT

New York, March 22.-Trading in cot
ton goods at first hand was very light
for the week. There was little change
in values and that little affected only a
few constructions of print cloths which
were quotably easier about lsc a yard.
Financial complications have led to ad-
ditional caution in joobing and primary
circles and 1t is expected that this will
continue until after the April settlements
have been announced. Mills are gen.
orally busy on moderately profitable
basis, many of them being fully engaged
for the summer.
Browns and bleached cottons are quiet
Prints are in moderate call. Ginghams
are being taken out steadily. Fine cot
tons and novelties in dress cottons are
active. Duck canaburgs and all heavy
colored cotton rule firm with mills well
under order.
Export trade is light. Some small Or
ders have been taken for goods for Ma
nla and few small scattering orders
have been booked for the Red sea. Fig
ures of exports begin to show a decline
compared with year ago. Fall River
sold only 10000 pieces of print cloths
last week of which half were for spot
delivery.
1t is now becoming seasonable to ex-
pect quiet in jobbing circles, the height
OF the distributing spring season being
over. Retail trade continues dull
Prices on cotton goods are as follows
Print cloths, 2S inch, "a by Gas, cents;
GA by Cos, 37s cents; 3S inch 81 by CAS-,
5A cents; standard southern sheeting, 8
cents; denims, ounce. IA cents; tickings.

The feature during the week was the
slump in Brazilian rails under forced
liquidation and the decline in French

by the fall of the French cabinet.

LEADING BULLS
HOIST THE MARKET
Close Firm 1-405-8c to 7-Sc
Net Higher - Other
Staples Advance

Chicago, March 22.-Leading bulls who
were plainly in control hoisted the wheat
market today, presumaD.y for effect or
foreign exchange after Easter.
The close was firm, 14@sse to &c net
higher Other leading staples also
showed an advance as compared with As
hours before: Corn, A13sc TO 1sc; oats,
1s6ssc to 1ac, and provisions 1215n25c.
There was not a great deal of selling
opposition to the upturn in wheat.
Cold weather discouraged the pctrs. de-
spite the fact that experts in the fields
at this season. On the other hand, con-
siderable apprehension existed among
many traders, who held that whatever
may happen between now and harvest
time must be for the worse. Wheat bulls
had a freer hand. because wire conditions
were unanimous In reporting the general
outlook as nearly perfect as it could be
prevented receipt of quotations from out
side points. 1t was also figured that the
natural effect of the storms would be to
lessen arrivals at the principal railroad
terminals.
Primary receipts of wheat for the day,
however, could not be told exactly. as
statistics were decidedly Incomplete.
Total seaboard clearances of wheat and
flour for two days equalled 10000 bushels,
with Baltimore missing against $4,000
bushels for one day a year ago. Expec-
tation that bad roads would interfere with
the movement of corn caused firmness in
that grain. Later there was an easier
feeling on account of adyices that rail-
road facilities east were being overtaXed
and corn shipments were being held on
demurrage.
Delayed seeding of oats sent prices in
that market up. Lightness of hog re-
ceipts caused frmness in the provisions
list. Nevertheless, some selling developed
on the theory that there would be a liber-
al run of storm delayed hogs next week.
Future quotations were as follows:
