Prices soon showed a net loss ot about 6a9 points but the new crop continSed relatively steady owing to further rains In the central belt and as soon as the early selling orders, inspired by less favora ble foreign advices, had been executed the market turned steadier on covering and a renewal of bull support.

New York, April 19.—Cotton futures New Orleans Cotton New Orleans, April 19.—Cotton fu tures opened steady at a decline of 2 to 5 points on a somewhat lower Liverpool market than due. The weather map was unfavorable, since it shov.ed much rain in the cotton belt, but this, as a bullish influCTice on the new crops, was offset by ca bles. Sentiment around the ring was well divided in the early trading and Rcalps'ra took positions on both sides of the marKet. The old crops recover ed to the level of yesterday’s close but the new crops w’ere not as strong. At the end of the first half hour of business the old crops were 2 to J points under yesterday’s last quota tions and the new crops were 5 un der. The weather forecast of continued rain In that portion ot the cotton belt east of the Mississippi river was tak en ^as a bullish feature and caused the market to strengthen toward the middle of the morning. The old crops I'eli its Influence more than the new. Reports from many localities in the Mississippi valley were that the wet weather was seriously retarding plant ing. At the highest of the morning the old crops were 4 points over yester* quletday’s close and the new crops were unchange to 1 point under yester day’s close.

Already business houses sending big consignments of spring goods to out of tow’n customers have discovered that the stocks have been stolen and that they are out vast sums of money—possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars. One of the many Incidents In the investigation was the finding of a complete stock of shoes and dress goods, valued at $10,000 In the hands of a representative of ,the gang at Boone, Iowa. The goods, it is de clared, were consigned to a firm in Southern Illinois, but never was near er the man who was expected to pay for them than the Chicago house from which he purcased tem. W. D. Cantlllon, general manager of te road, admitted a general knowl edge of the matter but said that the entire investigation was in the hands of W. P. Riley, chief of the roads si)ecial agents. , Fire at Convict Farm. - By Associated Press. • Albany, Ga., April 19.—The guards* quarters, barn, pumphouse, bakery and ehedfi of the ^ughtery cotinty convict farm were burned last night.

New York Stock Market ^ New oYrk, April 19.—(Wall Street^ ^Disruption of the Missouri-Pacific board of directors yesterday led to hea vy selling of stock at the opening of the market to'day. It declined 7-8 in the first few. minutes to a new low point for the year and then quickly recovered half the loss. The market was unsettHed and feverish and there were wide openings in several of the active stocks. Wisconsin Central tost 1 1-4 and Chicago Great Western and New York, Chicago and. St. Louis 1. U. S. Stee! opened at a slight gain and on heavy sales quickly fell to below' last night’s closing. After the opening orders had been executed the market lost its feverish ness and quieted down. Traders were disinclined to do much pending devel opments in the Gould situation. Prices meanwhile improved steadily, Missouri Pacific, Reading, Union Pacific, United States Steel and other leading stocks rising fractionally above yesterday’s closing. Brooklyn Union Gas receded 1 and International Paper preferred 2 3-8. The stock market fell back into the condition of dullness of the last few weeks with prices well above the low level established yesterday. The uncertainty of the opening which unsettled values considerably, was dispelled by strong support; and cov ering by bears who sold heavily yesterday also helped to steady the market. National Biscuit gained 2 1-4 and Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste Marie 1 5-8. Chicago, Minneapolis & St. Paul and Omaha opened seven points lower. Bonds were irregular. The forenoon advances were in creased slightly before the market began to give way on realizing sales. Prices, however, did not sag much, the list becoming very dull as soon as the selling Ijegan. Reports that the Gould Interests had secured powerful financial backing caused a brisk demand for Missouri Pacific which advanced to 47 1-2 com pared with 46 3-8 at the opening yester day. Other stocks w’ere quiet but the general market showed a decided un der current of^rmness. New York Stock List. Last sale.

Atlanta, Ga., April 19.—F. G. Byrd, of East Lake, has a big black cat of the Thomas variety which has just come off victormious in- a duel to the death with a poisonous water moc casin. The cat found the snake in a swamp near the house, and the fe line was the aggressor. Instead of grabbing the reptile firmly just back of the neck, as wise animals always do in high class amateur-faking ^ sto ries, the cat got a good, hold, on the snake’s tall and dragged it to solid graud, then and there tore it to pieces with his claws.,Then he ate it —poinson gland and all. Then he threw a filt in the flower bed, and now his nine lives hang in the bal ance. L mRGEST IN WORLD OPENED TO-Oliy By Associated Press, j New YorK, April 19.—The complet- led portions of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, on Morningside Heights, were consecrated today, ac cording to the rites of the Episcopal church. The Impressive offices were presided over by Rev. David H. Greer, bishop of the Diocese of New York. Among were representatives of many commun. guests invited to witness the function ions. The ceremonial began with the pro cession of ecclesiastics preceded by the vested choir of boys, across the walk from the synod house to the muge mass ,«f gray stone, still out- wardljr crude, but representing an important step in the work of making the Cathedral of St. John the Divine the fourth largest caihedral in the World. Within the structure, where many beauties of the decoratiA^e scheme al ready have been worked out, the pro cession proceeded under the great dome and with Imprtessive exercises, the presentations of the chapel of St. Savior and St. Columbia and of the Altar, organ and choir were formally made and consecration ceremonies performed. Music from the great organ aud by the choir featured the cere monial. Bishop Greer preached the sermon of the day, dwelling upon the value of the present-day cathedral as a force for righteousness in modern life. New York, April 18.—Distinguished clergymen, bot>h of this country and from Europe and persons prominent in public life were here today, pre pared for the formal opening tomor row of the greatest church edifice on the continent—the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Though the great structure on Morningside Heights, may not be fully completed for sev enty-five years to come, the comple tion of the “crossing” has given be tween the collossal gr&nite arches* of the tower a space where 5,000 people may congregate. It Is this part, the choir and the two finished chap els that will be consecrated tomor row. The largest and moi^t distinguished procession ever assembled in an Episcopal church in this country will be seen at the opening service to morrow. Among those who arrived today to participate in the ceremo nies are tw'enty-six bishops, 400 other clergymen and the delegates to the diocesan convention. Among promi nent laymen who are here for the exercises are Mrs. William H. Taft, and Governor and Mrs. Dix. President Taft could not arrange to attend. A committee headed by Archdeacon George F. Nel^n has been busy for months making arrangements, spec ial invitations having been sent out to persons most prominent in the Episcopal Chufch in this . country. Among the bisfeops who will partici pate in the ceremonies are: The Commission Form. Atlanta, April 19f.—The agitation for the commission form of govern ment in Atlanta has broken' out a fresh as the result of messages from Birmingham declaring that thoiii&ands of dollars are being saved in that city daily by the commission rule. It is possible that the question will be the big Issue here in the next munic ipal campaign. , POSSE SEARCHING ' FOR SAM DAV16. fiy Associated Press Spartanburg, S.

The bishops and other cler gy, lay trustees, convention delegates, visiting clergy of other bodies and representatives of educational and similar institutions will make up the procession, which will march from Synod Hall into the south door of the cathedral, at the eastern end of the choir. The processional hymn will be “Christ is Made the Sure Founda tion,” and other hymns will be “Rise, Crowned With Light,” and “Onward Christian Soldiers," the last named being the recessional. The suithems will be “Unfold Ye Portals” and will be sung by the augmented choir of half a hundred men and boys, among them some of the best known of New York’s soloists. The sermon will be preached by Bishop Greer, Much of the structure to be thrown open for use tomorrow is temporary. Parts to be consecreated are the permanent ones only. These are the choir, although that is not yet whol ly complete, for much of thp interior marble lining is not in; and two of the chapels, both permanent, the one erected by August Belmont, which is the middle one and is to be known as St. Saviour’s chapel, and the one given by Mrs. Edward King, immediately adjoining and known as the chapel of St. Columbia, The other five chapels are not yet finished. The offeratory at the memorial service at 4:30 will be devoted to the building of a memorial chapel on the extreme north, or gospel side, to be known as the Huntington Me morial. The cost of the cathedral to date has been between $3,000,000«and $4,- 000,000. Some money has been set aside for endowments, and there Is no debt. It is expected that the completed structure will cost a total of $15,000,000. So elaborate and colossal are thep Ians for the edi fice that more than one feaf *of en gineering had to be performed and others are yet to be solved, One un precedented achievement was the placing of the keystone in the central dome, the largest all-granite dome in the world, without the use of scaf folding or false-work. In striking contrast to the cathe drals of the old world, which have for centuries been noted for their dimly lighted chancels, the new ca thedral is brilliantly Illuminated by 3,000 lights. And still the worshipper will be unable to discern the globes which are concealed. The work of in stalling the globes and fixtures took more than four months. In general the style of the cathe dral is late Romanesque with a good deal of the billiancy of the Byzantine The general effect is much that of tl^e great French and English cathe drals. The idea that New York should build a mighty cathedral, fit to be compared with any of the world, orig inated with Bishop Horatio Potter, uncle of the late Bishop Henry Ood- man Potter; who, when he came to be head of the Church in New York, pushed the plan wkh energy. The cor nerstone was laid in 1891, and work has been since carried ■'on steadily. When St. John’s is completed it will rank as the fourth largest cathe dral in the. world. First comes St. Peter’s nearly twice as large as any oth^church, covering 227,000 square feet; then Seville, with 124,000 feet, Milan with 107,000, and fourth, St. John the Divine, with abont 100,0000. “Passion Play,” complete in thre# reels at the Edisonia.
