R. |. NOT OWNED
PHELPS-DODCE

New York, Feb. 20-Phelps, Dodge
& Co. have given out statement deny
ing ownership of Rock Island shares.
The statement reads as follows:
AS numerous articles have recently
appeared in the daily papers connect
ing Phelps, Dodge & Co with the Rock
Island Railroad company. and intimat-
ing that Phelps, Dodge & Co had not
only been large buyers Of Rock Island
stocks but had obtained control Of the
property. we therefore consider it only
right and proper to advise our stock
holders officially that Phelps. Dodge &
Co has never had one share OF Rock
Island stock. or invested one dollar OF
money in any of these securities. The
El Paso & Southwestern COMPANY, IN
which some Of our stockholders are in.
terested, purchased some years ago a
small minority interest in Rock Island
preferred stock. and has never increas
ed or diminished its holdings since
that date
This is interpreted on the street as
meaning that unless some financial
plan is adopted by which the heritage
OF 81, 500. 900 OF old Frisco debt is wiped
out and s22.500.o00 provided for the
betterments needed on the system
Phelps, hodge & Co, will not exercise
their option on control Of the Rock

REVIVAL MEET
EVANGELIST sPEIoEL TO CON-
DUCT SERVICES THRoue-
OUT THIS WEEK.

The revival meetings in progress at
the Christian Church will continue
through this week. Two splendid
services were held yesterday. At the
morning hour Mr. speigel spoke from
the text 1.-THE Seed Of the Word OF
Cod He said the world was to be
converted through human agency and
divine fundamentally, that as
Christians We must do our part in
evangelism.
At the evening service the evangelist
spoke to a large audience on the "Sin
Against the Holy Spirit" He took the
position that the unpardopable sin is
the final rejection of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ, declaring that many peo-
pie in Hattiesburg are committing the
objectionable sin and that the time will
come when they will cry "the summer
is past, the harvest is ended and l am
not saved" A splendid song service
was rendered at both services under
the direction Of the pastor, assisted by
the choir. The feature of the song
service, however, is congregational
singing.
Services tonight at 7.45 The evan
gelist announced for his subject ''Play.
ing the Fool" and the public is cordial
ly invited to all the services.

Compared with the closing of last
week, market shows slight gains in
values for old and new crop deliveries,
due to the continuance of wet weather
in the western half of the belt, par
ticularly in Texas.
The fact that the United States Is
on the verge Of war with Mexico de-
pressed conditions in the financial dis
tricts Of the world, causing money
rates to advance in Wall Street and in
the capitals of Europe, but the un-
favorable political situation has had
no effect on the cotton market as yet.
It is pointed out that war with Mex
leo, should 1t be prolonged, would de-
velop many bullish features in increas-
ing the demand for cotton goods, inter-
fering with farm labor in Texas and
by causing silver to advance.
Already the government is ordering
