But there wiis no snap to the buying, and while there was talk of cooler weather U the South there seemed to be nothing to the weather news to excite appre ' hfMrien as to the crop outlook so 'early in -toe season. At any rate the. market - cased, off under .realising by recent buy- -rr- ira reaoUojj. who may cava .been -disappointed, by the .failure, of . amor urgent demand from shorts to develop, '.and after midday ' prises- broke quite sharply following" the announcement of th failure of a local cotton oomnttsslon , house. -- This -firm-, -lre generally known ' to be embarrassed earlier In v the week. xthe bcavy liquidation of Monday having been attributed to it,, and. the, news of 'the suspension. had no Influence dn local sentiment.:' Tbe circulation of the state ment through the country seemed to bring In tome selling orders from outside sources, however, . and the . close was 'within a point or two of ths lowest of the day.

' 'New York, AprU IC-The stock market showed more Ufa to-day than was ex pected on ths eve of a triple holiday. The . tons was quite-' strong at times. The de mand which advanced prices " was at tributed largely to professional origin. Soma attention was attracted-by a state ment, apparently Inspired, that the Erie financial settlement was not tbe eleventh hour makeshift It has been assumed to be. but was the carrying out of a definite Itfan having the assent of the company's bankers and prepared some time before as an alternative to cover the failure of - the plan officially offered. Union Paclflo .was a leader In the day's market and absorbed a targe share of the total trans actions. Some effect was produced by reiteration of reports of plans for a com prehensive advance In freight rates by the railroads and of the sanotlon of this -action by the Inter-State commerce com- ; mission. .,.; ,j"7Z."ZZZ "Z" " """ : " : Known movements of money ud to Wednesday night Indicated a cash gain by the banks of nearly 910,000.000, after allowing for the one million dollars en gaged for export to Paris. -Call money loaned as high as I per cent, compared with a maximum of 1 per cent, on previous days this week.

There wss little activity following the opening and the market , exhibited a sensitiveness that was not calculated to result In any last ing Improvement. Spote, which were firm early In the day. soon became quiet and that market served, to depress fu tures. The early session witnessed some buying by shorts to cover over the three days of holiday attendant upon Easter, but this barely served to check for a short time - the , downward tendency of the market.

The mix-up over the meeting of the Democratic county executive commit tea called for flaturday Is a fruitful J source oi conversation here. A ' great many people feel that Chalr- , man urown, in bis communication J published this morning, . went out of iu i nis way to mK an unwarranted as 64 aault upon Solicitor , Brooks and ths gentlemen wno are supporting Mm j for the congressional nomination. .For -neveral weeaa the chalrnvtn haa been the subject of eonalderable rltlclnm I for his partisanship in espousing the ' cause Of Mr, Craig and for aligning 66 , himself with th clique that la fight 162 Ing Mr. Brooks- . I In reference to Chairman Brooks 1 statement that he had not refused Tto call the committee together, Secre tary Collins makes this statement to Th Observer correspondent: "I declined to call a meeting of ths committee until I had ascertained that the chairman had refused to Is sue the call. When a request for the pcall was presented to me, signed by 20 of th 17 members of the com mittee, I conferred with Chairman Brown, wTto informed in by tele, phone that ha would not Issue the otU. Believing tn the Democratic doctrine of majority rule;' I proceed ed to Issue tb call when I ascer tained that tbe chairman would pay no heed to the request of such a larg majority of the members of the com mittee, ellnre Issuing ths call. , r have been informed that the. request for a meeting would have been sign ed by five more members ef the com. mlttce If they could have been reach ed In time." . There appear to be no doubt that a large majority of Guilford Demo crate favor an -early primary. In or der that tit ey may settle, local con testsiand turn their attention to oth er matters. ..':; 5 Notice to Contractors The tindersirned wllL receive sealed bids till 18 o'clock noon May 1st, 1908, for grading three miles of road from MoerenvUle, N.
