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.

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. , WHY HE CORES.'

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.

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.

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.
