MARCH 27, 1903 MANY GOOD FARMERS SWEAR BY BERRY’S COTTON To "Whom It May Concern: We, the undersigned, do hereby certify that we have planted Berry’s Early Big 801 l Cotton Seed and read his claims for It, and they are not extravagant nor un founded. It is a different and distinct va riety from any we ever saw. It is not the same variety as the Truitt Cotton. We have raised both or seen them growing and Berry’s Early Big 801 l is a very su perior cotton to the Truitt Cotton. The bolls are larger and different shaped boll*. The stalk is larger and stronger, having a heavier foliage and a larger, darker col ored leaf and is more prolific and has al together a different staple. It is the best upland staple we ever saw and is about two weeks earlier than Truitt’s or any other big boll variety we have ever tried. We find Mr. Berry’s Cotton comes up to what he claims for It. XVe are well pleas ed with our investment. We find Mr. Ber ,ry's Cotton Seed to be the best and purest we ever saw. They are nearer all the same size and the same color and the stalks are more alike than any we ever saw. We think it is the best variety we ever planted or saw grow and can cheer fully recommend it to all who want a bet ter Cotton.

EXILESIWSH SNOUT'fflt TOLSTOI" PLAY AT THEATRE IS STOPPED BY RIOTOUS DEMONSTRA TION IN THE BAL- CONY. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) ST. PETERSBURG, March 6.-An at tempt will be made to reopen the St. Pe tersburg university and, it is supposed, other higher educational institutions, on Monday, March 10, If it proves a failure, the university authorities say, no further attempt will be made until the autumn, perhaps even longer. The matter was dis cussed between students, to whom special invitations were sent, and the representa tives of the faculty yesterday. The stu dents desiring admittance were required to sign a pledge that they would attend no illegal meetings or participate in any disorders. It is doubtful if the experiment will stay. Many students declared, imme diately after signing the pledge, that they regarded it as a promise made under con straint, and that they had no intention of keeping it. The fermentation has attained the ec clesiastical seminaries, and it is said that nineteen of them have been closed. It is understood that there is only a remote connection between the trouble in the in stitutions and the secular schools. The complaints of the future priests are pure ly domestic. Several incidents have latterly thrown doubt upon the wisdom of the government in sending its ‘•politically untrustworthy” elements to the-rural districts. It would appear that the latter are making rapid progress in assimilating the doctrines of the new residents. The following incident which occurred at Pultava, and which is related on the basis of two separate pri vate letters, is perhaps characteristic: I Some sixty St. Petersburg exiles are liv ing in Poltava, a town of about 50,000 in habitants, in'the agricultural south. Pre vious to their arrival it was regarded as a typical somnolent place, the population being mainly distinguished for Illiteracy. During a repetition in the local theatre a few days ago some one rose in the balco ny and shouted: “Long live Count Tolstoi, the excom municated.” The cry was taken up by other persons in different parts qf the house and the house and the play came to standstill. The police finally cleared the balcony and the same evening arrested all the exiles in their homes and then lodged them tn a frail Jail with common criminals. They demanded the reason for their arrest and an immediate hearing but received no sat isfaction. They thereupon determined to refuse food in order to force concessions, but finding famine monotonous after 35 hours, began a riot. How the affair ended seems uncertain. One account says all the common criminals who joined the po litical offenders, escaped. SEMI-WEEKLY MARKET HEPDBT Spot Cotton Market Atlanta, steady, B%c. New Orleans, steady, B%c.

NEW YORK, March 24.—The cotton market opened firm, with prices unchanged to 5 points higher on vigorous demand from shorts and fairly active bull support. Light port receipts and a better showing on Liverpool s part than due on the New York close of yesterday were the Incentives to the early buying. But soon after the call it was seen the brokers credited with handling the Wall street bull contingents business were free sellers of May and July. This led to a quick change of front by the room trade in general and by the first half hour May had settled to 8.50 and .July to 8.55, or 4to 7 points below early prices. Speculation was active in a spasmodic way with sentiment very much mixed. Port receipts bid fair to reach only 11,000 bales as against 22. <95 the same day last year, a fa ’V n * more 50 per cent. Just before 11 o’clock room made a quick dash for cover, believing that market to have been pretty thoroughly sold out for the moment.

NEW YORK, March 26.-The receipts of cot ton at ports were over 12,000, against 23,000 last year, but even this small movement had little effect on sentiment, the bear point being that on all sides holders are reluctant to let go since the market commenced to go down. On the other hand bulls accepted the decreased movement as a positive indication of exhaus tion. The market opened 5 to 8 points higher on covering of shorts. No little business for Philadelphia account was executed, especially for May. and the early strength generally was largely ascribed to this. The main question was. is liquidation about over, or will it be resumed in as big a scale as ever? Cables were 3 points lower. Local prices lower after the opening, but there was little lire to the market and a disposition to await new developments. People who have confidence of a crop not ex ceeding 9,500,000 now admit that the figures to day point to at least 30,000,000, and how much more they are nqt willing to say. But even so they say supplies are not large enough to meet the world's requirements and that ex pectations of much higher values must of ne cessity be based on a decidedly decreased move ment in the very near future. The decreased shipments of spots from the interior are as cribed to the fact that holders will not accept the current prices. Either this fact or actual exhaustion, it is argued, must explain the slow er movement in question. The margin between cotton and yarns has Increased in the English centers and the mill situation abroad is said to be healthier than generally supposed. Money and Bond*. x NEW YORK.

There was some show of strength at the opening of the wheat pit on better cables and small receipts. May was % to ‘4c higher at 72% to 72%c. Fairly liberal selling set in at once, however. Influenced by additional rains in nearly all sections of the growing wheat country. The outside mar kets started slightly advanced, wut the late cables declined a trifle and St. Louis turned weaker. Good weather favored the crops and seeding in the spring wheat sections was reported In full swing. These factors depressed May to 72%c, but there was a revival of the eaffy demand and May rallied and advanced to 72%c. Local receipts were 3n cars, none of contract grade; Mlnenapolls and Duluth re ported 158 cars, making a total for three points of 188 cars, against 290 last week and 381 a year ago. May corn opened %o%c to %c higher at 58%c to 59%@59%c on higher cables and the wheat advance. Trade was not large and on the tendency of the local crowd to sell May slipped off to 58%@58%c. Commission houses, however, executed good buying orders, wheat showed ad ditional strength and May corn sold to 58%c. Receipts 124 cars. Offerings in May oats were fair at th* open ing and influenced a slight decline. There was otherwise littl* change in the general oats situation. May started %c lower at 42%c and weakened to 42 on selling. When other grains grew stronger, shorts in oats covered, some support developed and May rallied and ad vanced to 42%c. Receipts 88 cars. Provisions again showed that marked strength that has characterized the market for the past week. Hogs at the yards were high er, the list opened slightly higher and a gpod demand in pork at once set in. The grain strength also influenced advances. May pork started 214®5c higher at $15.95@15.97% and sold to $16.10; May lard unchanged at $9.6214 and worked up to 29.79, and May ribs at $8.75 and advanced to SB.BO. CHICAGO QUOTATIONS.

Prime on the Grain Crop. From the Daily Stockholder. So far as spring progress is concerned, we have made very little since the date of my last letter to the Dally Stockholder of the 15th Inst. The country has had to contend with a general freeze up covering all the surplus grain growing states of the country. Wheat, so far, has made very little growth this season, and as the season advances the fact becomes more and more evident that the late sown wheat was more or less Injured by a dry fall in con nection with late seeding, and we are Just as much In doubt today as we have been at any time this season as to the extent and perma nence of this damage to the crop. For th* first time this season reports hav* been received of wheat being plowed up in th* southwest. At no.time, on the crop haye farmers been such poor sellers ’Of wheat' as during the present month. It would seem that with the great crop made in 1901, there ought to be plenty of wheat back yet, but the conditions seem to favor the idea that we have fed up this winter a much larger percentage of the wheat to live stock than ever before. With, the agiall reserves of corn which have been growing less every day. this situation is likely to continue Indefinitely, and we need look for no larger receipts of wheat until we have some definite Information as to how the growing crop will ultimately turn out. . , . The work of spring seeding has been brought also to a complete standstill by the sudden freeze which stopped the growth of the winter wheat, and practically nothing has been done in that line the present week. Seeding of ei ther spring wheat or oats is not late yet. Ear ly seeding Is not particularly beneficial in the long run, for we very often get caught a* we are today and the grain Is a great deal better in the bag In the bam than in the ground. , So far, the season is Just an ordinary normal year and the ruling element that we are start ing Out with is drier conditions than was ex perienced a year ago. Another very potent factor in the crop situation is the smallness of reserve* of all kinds ot coarse grains, and daily growing less and with no possibility of a change for four months at least, oats being the first grain that we shall handle. High prices of oats have caused farmers to sell very closely. We are now feeding more oats than at afiy time the whole year and this condition of things will continue during the growing season. So far our spring country trad* has been good. Stocks in the interior, of merchandise of all kinds, have been sold very freely during the past winter, and the city now is overflow ing with country buyers, all bringing to a more or less extent reports of excellent country trade. , McCullough Bro*. Fruit and Produce Letter. ATLANTA. March 27.—The nearness of Eas ter has caused somewhat of a stir in eggs, and the feeling is much stronger at quoted prices. Live poultry, such as hens, fryers, tur keys and ducks, are scarcer than at any time for the past six months, buyers do not quw tion prices, hence prices are high. Florida oranges, heavy weight. vCry active seller, at the best prices of the season. Grape fruit has taken on new life, and finding ready sale at advanced figures. Stock peas are more active at a slight advance, while white peas are mov ing slow at a slight decline. Country cured meats are moving readily, and bringing remun erative prices. Sweet potatoes were never so scarce, and it is not a question of variety with the trade now. but they will gladly take any thing they can get, provided the stock is sound, the highest market of the season now prevails. Strawberries have stiffened up 2% to 5 cents per quart from last week’s quotations, and the trade seems quite anxious to place orders lib erally for Saturday's delivery before Easter. Celery arriving very plentifully and moving slow. Bell peppers are not to be had, and en quiries are frequent. Cabbage carried over from last week are in liberal supply, and mov ing slow, while fresh garden stock'is finding ready sale promptly on arrival. Lettuce well headed, somewhat more active but liberal re ceipts would have a depressing effect on the market. Cauliflower scarce and active. Beets are in normal supply and finding ready sale. English peas arriving freely and selling low. Snap beans scarce and actlce at paying price*. Tomatoes, both choice and fancy, finding ready sale at an advance of 25 to 50 cents per crate. Cucumbers, squash, new Irish potatoes and egg plant are all a very scarce commodity and prices obtained will surely please the growers. MISS MARY HARRIMAN SUBDUES BAD HORSE CHICAGO, March 26.—The visit to Phoenix. Arizona, of E. H. Harriman, president of the Southern Pacific railroad, and party, was a marked event which, came near being a tragedy. Mr. Harriman’s party started for a horseback ride about the city, when Miss Mary Harriman, the young daughter of the financier, became engaged in a fierce battle with the broncho horse she was riding, says a special to Tin Tribune. Miss Harriman was no sooner in the saddle than the horse began to buck. With great clev erness the girl kept her seat, as the vicious horse reared and side-leaped. Mr. Harriman and a half a hundred other men rushed to the rescue, but could not get near the plunging animal. Miss Harriman sat like a veteran "broncho-buster” until the horse slipped and rolled over her. She escaped with an injured ankle, but it was considered a miracle that she was not crushed to death. Miss Harriman, who is a noted equestrienne and a familiar figure on the avenues of New York ants San Francisco, was warned against the horse, but refused to entertain any fear of the animal. She showed less anxiety during the fight with the horse than the spectators. PRICES OF FRESH MEATS TAKE JUMP IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, March 26—Prices of fresh meats are rising rapidly here and, although the retailers have not advanced their prices as the wholesale dealers Lave, they will do so within the next few days. Every spfing the price of meats go up, but this year the prices are higher than for many years past. Large demands for export are said to hav* caused the ad vance*. CIKBIOITE BECK SPOKE IT GRUND 1 tuesdhjight ' ■ HE MADE SEVERAL CHARGES AGAINST STATE SCHOOL COM- MISSIONER G. R. GLENNr SMALL CROWD. At the Grand Tuesday night Rev. A. J. Beck, candidate for state school com missioner, deliver an address, which con- y sisted mainly of charges against the pres ent incumbent. Hon: G. R. Glenn. And Mr. Beck agreed that if he could not prove the charges he would retire from the race and make an the amends in his power. He offered his retirement to Mr. Glenn if Mr. Glenn could disprove the charges, and then wanted Mr. Glenn to retire in event he could not disprove them. He agreed to leAve the matter to one of his friends and one of Mr. Glenn’s friends. ' j Mr. Beck had a number es supporters in the audience and they applauded h‘.s re marks frequently. Mr. Beck reiterated hi* charge that the school attendance had de creased 2 per cent. He contends that while there has been’ an increase in the enroll ment there has been a decrease in the per centage of enrollment. Mr. Beck argued that state uniformity would not cost the state $600,000. as stated by Mr. Glenn, but very much less. The conclusion of Mr. Beck's address was devoted entirely to the charges against Dr. Glenn. Mr. Beck said: . Standing, as I do tonight, between the multitude of Georgia’s children and the reputation of an official, I have to perform the most pklnful duty of my lite. With no personal feeling, no bitterness toward the man, I am compelled to bring charg es against the official life of the present state school commissioner. 1. Instead of preparing the question* for the annual examination of teachers, the state school commissioner has obtained them from the facility of a certain school thus giving advantage to the pupils of tnat school and putting at a decided disadvant age the pupils of ail other college*, and all other teachers who have to stand th* annual examinations. 2. I charge him with the illegal tssuin® of a state license in. » certain county of Georgia, said license being revoked ahd destroyed on the demand of tne board of education of the county in which it wa* Issued. 8. The Illegal issuing of state license to the pupils of a certain school in Georgia, without any examination and without shadow of authority. 4. The giving out of examination ques- tions for a county school commissioners’ examination before the day set for said examination. ' * 5. That some months ago—perhap* two years ago—the state school commissioner borrowed as much as $2,000 from a certain bank, under the indorsement of the agent ■ ‘ of a book company, thus placing himself 1 under obligation to that company to an extent that might warp his judgment and influence his action. If these charges are true, then Mr. Glenn is unworthy of the office he hold* and to which he seeks re-election. If they are not true, Aien they are slanderous. I make tai* offer: If Dr. Glenn will ap point a friend, I will appoint one; and to these shall be submitted the source* of my information. If these gentlemen find that the charges are true, then Dr. Glenn shall retire from his candidacy; if they find that the charges, are not true I win retire and will make nevery amend possi ble.
