The funds collected at this time will be used to defray the expenses of the Confederate veterans to the reunion to be held in New or leans. in April. In the event that any of the money is left it will be used to alleviate the suffering Of dependent veterans of Jefferson coun- ty throughout the year.
 As the veterans are advancing Tn years. their age makes it necessary that they be placed in hotels under special care instead of in the camps and tents. and this of course calls for additional funds.
 The United Daughters of the Con federacy tag day is held for the ben eft of Camp Hardee. one of the first and oldest camps of Alabama. also for Camp Pat Cleybourne of Ensley, and other Confederate veterans ot Jefferson county, whether they are members of a camp or not

The majority of republican mem .bers of the commission held that they sshould inquire into the cost of pro- @duction of articles at home and ~abroad whether requested to or not i; sthe minority of democratic members sheld that inquiry should be undertak- stn only on specific complaint.

FOREIGN BUYING
 IS STIMULANT TO CHICAGO MARKET

CHICAGO, March 22-Although foreign buying of future deliveries give a moderate lift to wheat prices today the effect failed to last in the face of late selling here against buy ing at Winnipeg. The Chicago mar ket closed unchanged to 14c lower with May $1,217s to s1.22 and July s1.16ss to $1.16a4. Corn finished shade off to lsc up, oats at shade decline to like advance, and pro- visions down 10c to lie.
 After starting a a transient down. turn in sympathy with lower quota tions at Liverpool due to liberal shipments from Argentina, tire wheat market here advanced soon with of fernSs readily absorbed. Demand for wheat for immediate shipment appeared, however, to lack volume, and bulls were at further disad- vantage owing to word that little moisture had been received in the dry section of Kansas. Then came spreading operations between here and Winnipeg, leaving prices here slanting downward in the final half hour.
 Sales of 100000 bushels of wheat to be put into storage here contributed in some degree to the weight on the market at the finish.
 Confined within narrow limits. corn and oats reflected the action of wheat, notwithstanding that corn at Omaha commanded prices equaling the highest record this season.
 Provisions were lower in line with hog values.

NEW YORK, March 22.-Stocks With loadings of cars for the first week in week in the first four months of last year. all this being practically merchandise. it is reasona ble to suppose that the railways will improve in gross earnings The rails are being quietly accumulated. At pres ent prices of copper metal, which is go ing higher, even the high cost producers make money. These are merely a few an- swers as to why the stock market comes back quickly.
 mornings break was duo to temporary re- lief from liquidation with support from shorts. which bought to take profits, to- gether with some buying for quick profits The advance brought out renewed realiz- ing, and we think some short selling has also taken place, and upon further weak view of a quick profit which should be promptly accepted whe1 rallies come. We do not advise adherence to long position at this time.
 Wheat: The market has been steady most of the session, rallies meeting with considerable selling pressure. while the breaks met with support. There were pe- riods when there was good selling in evil dence. but the buying absorption continued ingly easy. Cash prices were steady as a rule. There is a strong position in red winter wheat. and the only pressure now is in regard to comparatively small amount of hard winter for which at the moment there is but little demand There were sales to go to store of 100000. Ex- port business the past two days has in- cludcd considerable Durum wheat. Winni- peg cash prices are relatively firm and receipts at Winnipeg arc much smaller than year ago. Corn: Reacted on profit taking. but there was good buying on the breaks with commission houses taking in the slack in the pit. Receipts were mod crate here and also in west, with cond- tions unfavorable for the farm movement. An eastern bureau estimates that the Ar genuine surplus will be about Ss0,000.000 or 42.U00. 900 less than year ago. Old crop Argentine corn Is about exhausted. This means that this country must supply the demand abroad until about July l. than last year. the small visible compared to last year on passage stocks about one-third as large as year ago, and farm stocks 2O0,900,000 less than a year ago. we think the big local stocks stand about alone as a bear factor in corn.-Doremus.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. March 22.-Rapd and fairly wide swinges today carried the price of cotton both above and below the level of yesterdays close. Much of the buying was set down to trade accounts, while the selling appeared to be divided between both longs and shorts, considerable liqui- dation ot the long account being forces especially in the early part or the session, when stop loss orders were reached. At the lowest of the day prices were at net losses of 23 to 37 points. while at the high est they were at net gains of to IT points. After trading low as 20 43c May rose to % 94c, being the strongest month. It closed al 29 .92c. with the list Is points higher to points lower than the close of yesterday. Cables were better than due and they, together with scat tered rains over the belt, caused advances of to 4 points around the opening. This small rise was followed by heavy offer ings, and d quick break carried prices off to lowest levels of the session. Much of this selling was due to reports of an easier spot situation in several sections of the belt. which easiness was denied in the lat ter trading by important markets In the eastern ber. at least.
 Rumors that France and Germany were beginning peace negotiations caused rally to net advances of to 10 points late in the morning, but in the early afternoon the market was back again to about the lowest levels. shortly after which it rose to it's highest prices. Just op the close another sag was developing.
