PAGE 2 THE MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH Yesterday's Quotations- on the New York Exchanges Chicago Grain Market POREIGN HOUSES BUY HEAVTLY Highest, Lowest and Closing Prices For Active Stocks Cotton Market Point. By private wire to MurDhy & Oo,, tock (brokers, 11 Church atreet. New York, (May 2. The stock mar ket opened active and with, a rather feverish tone with declines predomi nating. London; furnished a lower range of prices for our railroad stocks and foreign houses were sellers here to a moderate extent. (Nothing that iwas new. was reponted from London as 'ex plaining the reactionary tendency of the American market' there. There was a number of very notable exceptions to the general tendency of the early market. Union Pacific advanced with particular rapidity with the trade con tinuing in enormous-volume. Atchison, St. Paul, Texas Pacific and the Wa bash issues were likewise firm'. De clines appeared in the Erie- stocks, Pennsylvania, Louisville & CNashvttle, Missouri, Pacific and the Southern Railway. The S. Steel stocks were exceedingly active, tout moved within narrow limits. In the Industrial quar ter, American Tobacco in sharp ad vance was a conspicuous feature, but the movements otherwise- -were rather uninteresting. Aside from (the trans actions and ttie course of the stocks in the market there was nothing confirm atory of recent reports respecting the status of the Union Pacifie property. The marked irregularity of the market continued throughout the first hour of business. There were a numfber of sharp reactionary movements after the initial transactions, on the other hand some new stocks forged to the front in ' striking advances among them being the (Hocking Valley issues. Interest in the Railway list, however, again con verged largely upon the Union Pacific and 'Atchison issues. STOCKS. High Ambg.

The volume of - business transacted in cotton today, was quite moderate with initial prices, 2 to 5 lower. A numfoer of buying or- - ders preventing any further decline on the feeling that the market may do better. Liverpool continued to display , . nervousness one of features of the day - was the reported sale of some 100,000 Jbales of print cloths. In the judgment of long headed cotton men the dry "gfcods situation and especially the at titude of spinners is all worth watch- - ihg.

" EVENTS OF INTEBET IN THE Tj AND OF THE SKlT Gleanings From the Columns of the !Local Papers in Var- . ious Towns of Stale. A Goldsboro special says: Several weeks ago the report of the finding of a large chest of gold at Grant's brick yard spread quickly through the city. Enquiry, elicited the fact that some workmen at a depth of several feet had digged up a metalio casket- he spot was once a burial ground-and at the request of Maj. Grant the casket was re-buried, at the 'burial ground at old Waynesboro. All of the public, it seems, were not satisfied, for recently the grave was tampered with and the casket broken into. Evidence of this being plain, Maj. Grant had his work men open the grave and make an ex amination with the result as above stated. On the spot was found a Wayne cotton mill pay enelope for the week ending March 23. iLast week in Wilmington at a dance a young lady present lost a handsome diamond earring, valued at $200, and it could not he found anywhere. The Wilson Times gives an interesting ac count of how it was found. Miss Kate Hawley, of this city, was present and while she was dancing some one called her attention to a glittering object in the folds of her dress. Miss Hawley at once recognized it as the earring lost at a dance in Wilmington week bo .'ore last, at which she was present. She had worn this same dress twice once In Wilson and once in Fayetteville since the diamond had lodged in its hem or ruffle and it is the greatest wonder it was not lost. It was found purely by accident and returned to its owner by registered mail Friday. Fayetteville Observer. The raging waters of the Catawba washed from their resting; place last week, the 'bones of one of the members of a tribe of Indians from which that noble stream derived its name. Near Beattles ford, last Friday, a farmer chanced to see near the (bank of the stream, what at once seemed, the skel eton of a sheep. Curiosity prompted him to make a more thorough exami nation. This revealed the fact that the bones were of a human and that, ttoo, of a man. Around the shapeless neck was a string of (beads just the kind that the tribe of ICatawba Indians were known tovwear. There was other evi dence going to show that the skeleton in life was none other than one of the band of Red Men that Inhabited that section of North Carolina. Just where the grave of this Indian was located, will never be known. That It was near the waters of the CataWba is certain and that the lonely spot was washed by the flood 'waters of the recent fresh et is also true. So.pire J. Watt Hood saw the tones and he says that th-y are those of a man and he is also satis fled they are those of an Indian. Whon first discovered they wore still satur ated with water but when allowed to remain In the sun, they became brittle and would crumble almost at he touch. The skeleton was allowed to remain where the waters had washed it for a day r more, gome one pas sing, digged a new grave, close beside the river and again covered what the waters unearthed.
