THURSDAY. APRIL 2.
ONE CONIES! IN
HOMING PMIH
That Will Be For County Com
missioners' Places. Probably
No Opposition to Mr. Plun
ket. If Should Be No Contest,
Committee Could Call Off
Primary Election.
ffe the Herald yesterday afternoon
Cl official announrpinent wan made
y Mr Guy Sturgis that he would not
run for Hiierlff till* year, aa he hal
•xperted to do. Mr. Sturgis la bailiff
of the city court anil a very popular
and officiant officer. IT he had made
the rare he would have undoubtedly
polled a largo vole.
There is now only one candidate
for nherlff, Deputy Sheriff Thomas
riunket and It la believed that Mr
Plunket will he unopposed. He la a
a, lendid officer and a very fine man.
In the event no one should an
nounce against Mr. Plunket there will
be contests only for the county com
missioners' office, Messrs. Nixon,
Rooks. Holley and PUIII having en
tered the race for the positions now
hpld by Messrs Nixon and Rooks,
and E. P. Verdery, whose terms expire
on the first of next January.
But for the contests for these three
positions It would be unnecessary to
go to the expense of having a pri
mary and the primary committee
could declare all candidates the nom
inees of the primary. They would
then be formally elected at the gen
eral election next fall.
Mr. Sturgis, in his withdrawal an
nouncement, says:
To the People of Richmond County;
1 TAKE THIS MEHOD OF NOTl
fying my fellow citizens of Richmond
county that I will not be a candidate
for the office of sheriff. The date,
fixed by the County Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee Tor holding the
primary is much earlier than I antic
ipated, and It will be impossible for
me to discharge niv official duties as
Special Bailiff to the Solicitor of the
City Court and make a canvass with
in the time intervening between now
and the primary.
I desire to express my thanks to the
friends who so generously tendered
me their support.

NEW YORK COTTON
New York.—The somewhat unsettled
feeling which prevailed in the cotton
market yesterday afternoon was in evi
dence again today. Opening was steady
one higher to three lower; later active
months sold three to five net higher on
renewed covering and spot holt* buy
ing. Private cables reporting good spot
demand in Liverpool, on continued good
business at Manchester probably en
couraged support.
Cotton futures closed very steady.
oemand from spot houses seemed to
increase on every slight reaction and
the market continued very steady during
the early afternoon with active months
about twelve to eighteen points net
higher.
Favorable weather forecasts failed to
inspire increased offerings and tHe mar
ket sold ten to fifteen points net higher
before midday. Trading then tapered
off and prices reacted threo <*• four
points under realizing.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York. While speculation langu
ished on the stock exchange after noon
today, yet confident operations had
teen resumed after an early period of
hesitation. The ready response of the
market to increased buying confftined
assertions of bullish traders that no
considerable demand could lie satisfied
except at higher prices, owing to the
meagre floating supply of stocks. Hope
of an early adjustment of the railroad
rate problem was the predominating in
fluence.
Union Pacific was strengthened by the
court ruling that the preferred stock
should not participate in the extra di
vidend disbursement. The general rise
ran up to a point in various instances,
witn larger gains among specialties. A
few stocks were heavy. Buying Black
ened toward noon, and the list eased ofl
from its best prices.
After 12 o'clock bull operators aban
doned efforts to force prices higher in
face of inexplicable pressure against
Baltimore and Ohio.
Bonds steady.
