BETHLEHEM STEEL REACHES CLIMAX Prices Soar Up to IF and the Market Closes
 at 105

New York, April s.-Manipulation in the common shares of the Bethlehem Steel company reached it's climax today in a succession of violent movements which carried the shares up to IF from its open ing price of sss4c.
 It closed at 105. Its maximum rise was 2s1A points and its net gain TIE. Transac- lions in Bethlehem Steel aggregated so,- 600 shares. or about F per cent of the whole.
 Reasons for the phenomenal movement were lacking in official quarters, but traders thought it was made possible by the opposition of a short interest, which has persistently fought the advance and which gathered further courage on the failure of the directors to put the stock on a dividend basis.
 Stanard shares became unsettled, While the movement in Bethlehem Steel was under way and closed with general net losses, these, however, being mostly nom inal. General Chemical led the fertilizer group with an advance of points. Iotai sales of stock, 660,600 shares.
 Bonds steady in the main, some or the low priced issues selling at smart ad- vances. Total sales, par value, S2boo.OVo.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. April s.-(Special.) 1.-The markets are feeling the effect of the liquidation of long holdings and of some pressure to sell spots in the south. &C., cording to some advices from interior markets today. For sometime past the trade has been looking and waiting for this reaction, because they could see no good reason for the advance, therefore the break today is accepted by many as an indication that the effect of the ad- vance upon checking the disposition to reduce the acreage was being felt in the markets. Tonight the trade looks for a lower Liverpool market tomorrow, while they think the rapid fluctuations in the stock market may bring about western liquidation.

DEMAND FOR MEATS ON THE INCREASE Supplies Not So Plentiful as Several Weeks Ago.
 Cotton Off

The demand for meats is said to be increasing, but prices in some lines are slightly reduced. Extra ribs are quoted at 1.7o, salt bellies at 1920, spare ribs 101ac and pure lard at 12 cents.
 Supplies are good but not quite so plentiful as was the case several weeks ago when the western ranchers were placing their beef on the market in large quantities in dread of the foot and mouth disease, which at that time was reported to be spreading. This disease has now been checked.
 The cotton market continues to decline, today's quotation being 9 cents on good middling. Strict good middling Is quoted at 9h cents

Lttki lf Jltney DuS serVlce lnIO d 5fAit.h aass e in Gadsden, Alabama City ar5 kfesli vas announced today by w. f es. proprietor of the line. He -----fsd | hostile legislation on the rart of the municipalities in which he op- erated, and his inability to fight the case through the courts was the cause for his action. He scored the council of Gads- den for adopting an ordinance providing regulations which he said were stricter than those for the street car lines.
 N W. Teleson, the young Boston elec- trician who was killed at the East Gads- den plant of the Alabama Power com pany yesterday was a nephew of James Mitchell. president of the company. and also of w. E. Mitchell, who is connected with the company in Gadsden and Bir- mingham. The body was sent last night to Boston for burial. Mr. Teleson had gone aloft to make an adjustment. The current had been shut off, but the static electricity was so great that he lost his hold and fell to the ground.
 Oner Coffey went on the stand in his own defense today, against the charge of murdering George Burgess. He insisted that Burgess, clerk in an Attalla hard ware store, was handing him a pistol when it was discharged. O. J. Bruce, the new witness on whose testimony the new trial was granted, said that, following the shooting. some one had said, Let the boy alone-it was an accident" but he could not be positive that 1t was Bur gess, although it sounded like him. The case probably will go to the jury tofnor- row.
 Business in railroad lines in this section is greatly improved. according to Supt. w. D. Templeton and Assistant Superin- tendent Tucker of the Nashville, Chatta- nooga and St. Louis railroad, who were in Gadsden today. Express receipts of the Southern Express company in Gads- den showed an increase of $155 for March this year over the same month last year.
