The most talked of event at the Baptist
invention that adjourned sine die at
tiffin Sunday afternoon was the resig

u:r of history and philosophy in Merc r
diversity, the great Baptist School. The
Sort is being made to keep the matter as
luiet as. possible, but it has created any
mount of discussion because Prof. Mosely
las practically become a Chr.stian Scien
!■: The hoard of trustees for Mercer met
'relay night and Prof. Mosely went be
ore them. He stated that he was making
main inquiries along the line of £’hr.s
ian Science, and, w hile he had not lden
ifit-d himself with the order, he was
taking seriously on that line. Knowing
hat it would be damaging to the college
or him to pursue his investigations, he
fished to tender his resignation and ask
d that it be accepted. The resignation
ras accepted with regret, as Prof. Mosely
.ash, en a very valuable man and very
opular with both the faculty and the
tudents.

SAVANNAH, GA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 1900.
PRESIDENT FINK IS PLKASED.
Pennsylvania Purchune of Norfolk
and Western.
Sew York, April 2—President Henry
Fink of the Norfolk an<l Western Rail
road, to-day confirmed the report that
the Pennsylvania system had purchased a
considerable amount of the company's
common and preferred stock, although the
total Is far from enough to Indicate *j
change in control.
He said that he was very much pleased
with the interest taken by the Pennsyl
vania in the Norfolk and Western, and
was confident thnt the position of the
road and of its securities had been mate
rially strengthened by recent develop
ments.
The newly acquired interest of the Penn
sylvania in Norfolk and Western, said
Mr. Fink, has been taken with the same
idea in mind as that which in the past
four months has prompted large invest
ments in Baltimore and Ohio and Ches
apeake and Ohio. In none of these cases
| have the purchases been large enough to
give the acquirer the power to dictate
policies, and this has not been desired.
I; has resulted in n change in personnel
in the board of directors in the two last
named roads, and when the proper time
arrives, will show in the same way in th**
Norfolk and Western board of directors.
Fnder the plan of reorganize.ion of hs
Norfolk and Western, the comm n stoe’e
does not have the same representation as
the preferred and will not until September
of next year. At present the p eferred ha a
the right to elect two-thirds of the board
of directors. For this reason the larged
part of the buying by Pennsylvania In ti i
has been Norfolk and Wed rn preferred.
In talking about the matter to-day Pres
ident Fink said that it was yet t o early
to indicate the retiring of the members cf
the board of directors and their likely suc
cessors. He added:
Thinks It In n Good Thing.
“I think that the interest that the Penn
sylvania has taken in the Norfolk and
Western is the best thing that could have
happened. It gives us a strong ally and
the fact that so powerful a corporation as
the Pennsylvania has a direct conce-n in
our property increases our prestige. The
talk that Pennsylvania has made a move
to stop rate cutting is senseless. We have
for a number of yea's had very clcs* traf
fic relations, and there have been no dis
putes. As for buying to checkmate seme
probable purchase by the Southern Rail
way,l regard that also as having no basis.
I don’t think the Southern ever strongly
cens'd red buying the Norfolk and West
ern.”
President Fink said that ore great ad
vantage to his road of- the Pennsylvania
interest was a relief from the ultimate re
cess.ty of extensions from Columbus. 0..
# to the lakes and from Hagerstown. Md.,
north through Pennsylvania. Connections
arc now made with the Pennsylvania at
i oth of these points. He said that the con
tinued acquirement cf representation by
large financial interests in different rail
road properties was simply an clement of
necessity grow ng out of the law forbid
ding open agreements on rates. In his
opinion the small road is gradually be
coming less influential and must finally,
ir present conditions continue, find its
greatest strength as a working part of
some system. ' B
—On being asked the other day to what
he attributed his long life and excellent
health. William M. Evarts replied: *1
don’t know unless \i is that I never took
any exercise.” The questioner regarde 1
this as a joke, of course, but it is a feet
that the ex-SN r.a r or objects to any phy
sical exertion and often hires a cab to
avoid walking a block. ,

In spite of hundreds of requests yearly

Morning News Office, April 3.
The feature of the market to
day was the drop in grades
that brought on considerable trading. Up
wards of 1,400 barrels were sold, and the
demand for lows was such as to keep the
trading moving along briskly had not
about all the offerings been absorbed.
Spirits turpentine closed firm at 53H cents,
with reported sales of over 500 casks. Re
ceipts continue on a small scale, and un
less something unforeseen' h*lps the move
ment the chances are that very little
stuff will be received during April, as com
pared with the receipts same time last
year. The cotton market closed quiet and
unchanged, with no transactions report
ed. The demand is very light. It Is re
ported that less than 5,000 bales remain
in factor’s hands subject to sale. The
, wholesale markets were steady and active.
The following resume of the different
markets will show the tone and the quo
tations at ihe close to-day:

While there was an Improvement in the
New York future market to-day. due to
> he better Liverpool advices, the spot m ir
kets were in the main unchanged. The
Savannah market closed quiet and un
changed, with no tran-ac.ions reported.
There is apparently no demand at present,
and until one springs up th'ngs are apt to
remain at a standstill, as is the case at
present. The receipts to-day jacked ore
bale of being 2,000.

COTTON FI'TIRES.
New York, April 3.—The course of the
cotton market to-day trap varied, with
each side subject to period* of nervous
ness. The stnngth of the Liverpool mar
ket was a surprise and our marker open
ed steady, with prices 1 to 6 points higher
in consequence. Short* were excited buy
ers throughout the call. A quick reac
tion in the English market led to local
liquidation and prices fell rapidly to a
level, 11/3 points under last night's fig
ures. On the break bears resumed their
aggressive trading, attacks principally at
the summer months. Near midday the
market once again made a sudden shift
I an*l quickly recovered from the depres
-1 sion. with noon figures showing a net rise
| of '/hi points. On the rise report* came
| in through houses having European con-
I nectlons to the effect that the selling
| movement had about run its count* in the
1 English market, as most of the weakly
i held long stuff had been eliminated. A
bullish semi-weekly movement report
j added to the better feeling In the mld
! afternoon, while predictions for waning
interior receipts kept the late market
1 steady. Trading v.-a> only fair. The mar
ket closed quiet and steady at a net ad
| vance of 4QII points.

COTTON LETTERS. t
New York, April 3—Hubbard Bros. & Cos.
say; The expected reaction occurred in
Liverpool to-day, our cables stating a
better tone existed there after the open
ing decline. Selling orders from that mar
ket were responsible for the break here af
ter the opening call, which claused local
selling. Efforts were made to check the
decline, which were unsuccessful, and
turned the local sellers into buyers, Caus
ing the recovery of the entire decline, Au
gust reaching 9 cents. Receipts at the
ports are heavy, but very small at the
interior towns. Local traders are look
ing for rather more of a rally in Liver
pool, as the large portion of the exports
go to the continent rather than to Liv
erpool. The in sight movement this week
will be heavy on ihe inclusion of the ship
ments to the Pacific slope. Weather con
ditions are favorable for planting prepara
tions throughout the cotton belt. Rain is
indicated for Arkansas only to-morrow.
New’ Y’ork, A|>ril 3.—Murphy & Cos. say:
Cotton in Liverpool declined l-32d on spots,
with sales of 10,000. Futures declined
3-64d during the forenoon, reacled and
closed 2-64/1 above yesterday's prices. This
market opened irregular, 4 to 10 points up
on old crop and 5 to 7 on new crop posi
tions, then ruled easier on realizing new
crop deliveries in Liverpool, relatively
firmer than this market, as Southern op
erators are not disposed to buy far months
owing to expectation of Increased Cotton
acreage and a larger drop if weather con
tinues good. The cotton goods trade is
very quiet with an easier feeling. Re
ceipts are fairly liberal this week and
the come In sight may reach 125,000,
rgainst 136,000 last year.
DRY' GOODS.
New Y'ork. April 3.—There has been no
relief to the monotony of the market for

change at firet hands in any direction,

• STOCKS AY3 BONDS.
New York, April 3.—The two most po
tent factors in to-day’s stock market was
Federal Steel and the Baltimore and Ohio
stocks. The pressure to liquidate the for
mer had a decidedly unsettling influence
on the w hole market In the morning and
the strength of the latter stock served to
stiffen prices during the afternoon and to
retrieve lo a large extent the early de
cline.
The opening in Federal Steel was wide
and the price was soon carried down to 49,
a drop of 4% from yesterday’s close. It
rallied 2 points, but went off again in the
last fifteen minutes of the market to
the lowest, developing renewed signs of
weakness in the rest of the list. Selling
of the stock was zluc to the practical ad
mission that the failure to amend the
charter yesterday at the annual meeting
was equivalent to the abandonment of
furiher dividend distributions this year,
owing to legal obstacles. The strength
in Baltimore and Ohio developed after the
Executive Committee had convened. It
was generally understood that the meet
ing would consider the granting of addi
tional rights to stockholders and new ru
mors wz-rc rife. The common stock
touched 88% and the preferred 85. and both
reacted nearly 2 points on profit taking,
h'lplng to the easier money In the clone.
London was a free seller in the early
dealings and helped to the opening reac
tion.
"While there were no very large offerings
brought out at the decline the demand
for stock was decidedly less urgent than
in the recent market, an/1 when the dull
ftess and firmness prompted to an ad
vance large offerings to realize were
brought ozit, when prices got back *0 last
night’s level. The market gave evidence
of the pressure of large speculative hold
ings to realize, but holders evidently felt
themselves strong enough to withhold
their offerings at any considerable con
cession. Outside a few stocks the day's
movement in prices was narrow. There
was considerable strength in the Grang
ers under the leadership of St. Paul,
based on a very heavy grain movement
now going over the Western line*. The
trunk line* were firm on the large east
bound sfaipments, besides Ihe sympathetic
effect of the movement of Ihe Baltimore
and Ohio stocks. The rally from the low
jmint reached a point in a number of
pr/unlnent railways, bu* the final easing
off left most of the day’s net changes
small and mixed between gains nn<l
loeses. Sugar was actively dealt in. but
after an early decline of over a point,
mounted upward 4 points on the reported
easing in *he price of raw sugars. The
price eased off In the late decline, bring
ing the net advance down to 1%.
Th money marker worked somewhat
easier to-day. as the influence of the April
disbursements Is beginning to be f )t.
There is no further apprehension in stock
market circles on money market consid
erations. The bond market continued
qul'e active end changes In prlcee were
maintained. To'al sales, par value, 81,-
