are that there will bo no hitch anywhere

of his ability and merit.

car loaded solid with pineapples from

tacked on either side of the car, and will
go through with it to Pittsburg. This was
the fitst carload of pine3 to pass through

Tampa Tribune: The first solid car of
Manatee county tomatoes fer this year
arrived last night cn the steamer Mana
tee. They were shipped by F. C. Arm
strong, the well known vegetable man of
TVrra Ceia. The shipment consisted of 480
crates. They brought $2 per crate on the
wharf. All of them were of excellent qual
ity. This shipment goes through to Den
ver, Col., which is an illustration, in it
s If, cf the extent of the demand for
South Florida products. This first car will
now' be followed by many others, and the
crop will be moved in the course of the
next two months. The reported destruc
tion of the tomato crop the recent
floods was much exaggerated. The ship
ments bid fair to exceed all past records.
Tampa Herald: Before the brethren
condemn Senator Taliaferro too severely
fori his vote to seat Quay, they should re
member that In the half dozen similar
cases which have previously come before
the Senate there have been distinguished
Democratic leaders of that body who have
uniformly voted to admit. Whiie we do
not agree with the theory that the Gov
ernor may api>oint a senator in case the
Legislature fails to do its duty and elect
one, it must be admitted that there is
plenty of ground for a contrary opinion.
Senator Taliaferro's vote gives insufficient
ground for captious and personal criti
cism.
Friday morning at Evavllle, a few miles
from Bayard, a negro by the name of
JacJtson killed, his wife. They had not liv
ed together for some time, but he met her
on the road' with another woman warning
from her sister’s place and at once told
her that he Intended to kill her. When
he grabbed her the other woman ran. He
threw her to the ground and with his
knife, cut her throat so that it nearly sev
ered her neck. He then went home and
dressed up, and to someone remarked
that he was ready for the officers, and
stated that there was no use being scared,
as he had killed three before and came
clear. He ste placed under arrest and
taken to St. Augustine.
Titusville correspondence Times-TTnlon
and Citizen: G. F. Duren is strongly of
the opinion that animals have reasoning
faculties in a marked degree, pfoof of
which was afforded him the other night.
Owing to symptoms of hydrophobia ap
pearing among certain dogs here, an or
dinance was recently passed ordering all
dogs running at large to be muzzled. Mr.
Duren has two pel cats around his butcher
shop, whose life has been made miserable
by the badgering of a vagrant yellow dog.
The day after the ordinance wenLtnto ef
fect the dog happened around tTo shop,
and was spied by the cats, who noticed the
stout leather strap around the mongrel's
jaws that served as a muzzle. This was
their golden opiwrtunity, and with one ac
cord, they leaped upon the back of the
helpless canine and proceeded to wreak
their pent-up vengeance upon his hide.
That lwrticular dog will give Duren's cor
ner a wide berth hereafter.

Contracts Rosin Firm, But the
Market Shows an Element ot
Weakness—Cotton Quiet and Un

Markets.
Morning News Office, May 14.—The feat
ure of the markets to-day was the firm
and advancing tendency of the turpentine
market, which closed at an advance of
Ii cent, with the promise of making fur
ther gainst shortly. The local demand,
coupled with the requirements for stuff
with which to fill May contracts has given,
the market much strength. The demand
‘is such as will probably absorb stuff rap
idly the balance of May. The rosin mar
ket was posted firm, but there was an ele
ment‘of weakness. At the decline on sev
eral grades considerable sales were made,
but it is stated the receipts for the past
three or four days are still in factors’
hands. The lack of * foreign demand does
not promise any immediate change in the
situation. *The cotton market closed quiet
and unchanged, with pothing doing local
ly. Reports from New York were to the
effect that considerable selling was being
done in the future market, due to the re
ports of more favorable weather through
out the cotton belt. The wholesale mar
kets were steady and active. The follow
ing resume of the different markets will
show the tone and quotations at the close
to-day:
COTTOX.
The cotton* market closed unchanged.
Reports from the outside were to the ef
fect that considerable selling was being
done at New York, due to the improved
weather conditions. New York futures
went off. The local receipts were 117 bales,
against 1,969 the same day last year.

COTTON FUTURES.
New York, May 14.—There was an ac
tive selling movement and a heavy busi
ness was transacted In cotton to-day. The
opening call developed a decline of S@9
points under the pressure of accumulated
orders to liquidate long aceount%while lo
cal sentiment was very bearish. Subse
quent business increased the decline to
B@ll points. The weakness was primarily
due to exceptionally fine weather and crop
accounts sent to the other side with the
result of unfavorable influencing the Eng
lish market. The intelligence at hand this
morning from the oottOir belt increased the
disposition to sell and left the market
without support, except that which it re
ceived from the shorts themselves when
ever they covered. The selling movement
was quite general with Wall street or
ders a conspicuous influence. Orders from
the South are also quite heavy on the sell
ing side. As the session, progressed some
of the room traders were tempted to se
cure profits. This gave occasional reac
tions to the market, but rallies were fee
ble and local sentiment remained weak.
The market in the afternoon reflected a
disposition on the part of the local con
tingent to act with caution in view of the
fact that since Friday the market has
had a decline of %c without any substan
tial reaction. Exjjort houses bought con
siderable cotton, being short on their or
ders abroad. Closed steady, 3 to 10 points
net lower.

COTTOX BETTERS.
New York, May 14.—Hubbard Bros. ft Cos.
say: "Liverpool was the mrkel affe tel
by the liquidation of the interests In the
markets which has been in progress during
the past week. In what position the mar
ket will be left after it is all adjusted, re
mains to be seen,but i' ha certainly not
Improved the outlook for an active gp/vula-
Mon. May and July have been bought by
the parties who were believed to be sho t
and the trade believe this to by part of the
ariangement Outside liquidation has !>oen
noticeable all day with the Bouth scl'lng
r.ew crops on the crop prospicts. Until
the market assumes more normal condi
tions and responds to factors which ordi
narily govern prices the trade will have
only a small interest In the Summer
months. It is generally believed the bull
party were the shorts In the near posi
tions."
New York, May 14.—Murphy ft Cos. lay:
"Cotton In Liverpool declined l-]6d oj
spots, sales 10.000 bales. Future* openel
2-64 to 4-Old lower ami closed abut 6-64 db >-
low Saturday on old and about 4-6ld on new
crops. Our market opened 4to 11 point*
below Saturday owing to the weakness ip
Liverpool. It weakened further .on long
Belling and some short selling cf n w
crop deliveries owing to the favorable
weather in the South, and Became steadier
toward noon on heavy buying of summer
months by the Broadway house. The
market is not strong owing to the lack ot
outside support.”
DRY GOODS.
New York May 14.—There has been no
change in the demund from the home
trade for cotton goods, but on the part
of the exporters an inereaso of inquiries
has iietn noticeable, and a good export
business shortly appi ars probable. Price,
of all descriptions of staple cottons are
without material change. Prints are dull
at previous prices and ginghams quiet.
Print cloths inactive, but business In
quantity seems to be impending. White
goods firm in all lines for both this season
and 1101.

ket is firm and advancing, with
the prospects favorable for a much high
er price before the close of the week. The
opening to-day was firm at 47% cents, and
closed firm at 48 cents. The demand was
strong, and the tendency for further ad
vances. At the opening sales of 255 eagles
were reported at 47%. and at the closing
further sales of 62 at 48. The receipts were
1,686, sales 317, and the exports 25.
Rosins—The market for rosins seems
to have struck a dull period. The receipts
for several days past are still in factors'

mestic, there being no request for stuff
for foreign shipment. Several grades de
clined to-day at the opening. Water white

STOCKS AND BONDS.
NemtYork, May 14.—The price movement
In the stock market was extremely irreg
ular and uncertain all day. The last
prices of the majority of stocks were
higher than at Saturday’s close, but the
best prices of the .lay wero nowhere main
tained, and wide inroads were made in
some of the Industrial* and specialties.
The professional traders were IncHned to
take a very bearish view, and came down
to the street this morning prepared to
sell the whole list. They were not de
terred by the evidence* of strength In
the London market, which were due to
the progress of Gen. Roberts' campaign,
and lo the easier money conditions.
While selling the list, the traders made
fierce raids upon the specialties. Sugar,
Metropolitan. People’s Gub and 'Brooklyn
Rapid Transit were all subjected to at
tack and yielded from 1 to over 3 points.
The bears found, however, that the heavy
offerings to liquidate which was a feature
of last week's market were not forthcom
ing, and they also found themselves In u
numerous company, anxious to secure
stocks to cover short contracts. By b'.d
uii>K against each other this company ef
fected a material rally in prices. They
then pa 11 sol in some discouragement and
confusion. Borne rather positive evidences
of strength at different points added to
their difficulties. There was large buying
of Burlington all day at an extreme ad
vance of over 2 points on renewed rumors
that a plan had been perfected to refund
the consol bomls of 1903. The movement
helped the wtiole Granger group. The
efforts to bid up Missouri Pacific were re
sumed with some success, and the Pacifies
generally showed good recoveries.
The borrowing demand in the stock loan
department of the Stock Exchange indi
cated that the short interest had become
somewhat unwieldy, and the market over
sold. The demand to cover from that ele
ment Is the cause for the most part of
the day's show of strength. New York
Central advanced a point, but the South
ern group of trunk lines, which have been
influenced by the Pennsylvania company's
extensive operations for control, were
generally heavy. Baltimore and Ohio sold
down at one time to 72%. It is argued
that since the stock Is allowed to decline,
the syndicate which underwrote the new
Issue of stock at 80, has probably realized
on Its holdings. In the late dealings,
while the market was hanging in an un
steady condition at the high level, the steel
Industrials suddenly gave way nil around,
federal Steel and American Steel und
Wire losing 3 points, and Tennessee Coal
and Iron about 2%. Other members of
the group showed smaller declines. The
general list gave way under the Influence
of this break, and the closing was active
and weak with the gains largely reduced.
Fears are felt that the easier money
conditions abroad ore only temporary,
and a disposition is monlfest to curtail
speculation until they become more set*
tied.
-There was considerable activity In the
bond market, hut the tone was Irregular.
Total sales, par value, $1.280,0(X).
