Tills, however, was too short a term for a government which had embarked on wide schemes of reform and It would be a neglect of duty to abandon his share of the work. THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, AUGUST 10, 1903. SLUMP IH STOCKS IS CONTINUING, Almost Four Score of Stocks Touched. Lowest Record Reached Dur ing the Present Movement. Wall Street Sees No Lin ing to the Clouds. New York, August s.—Two more stock exchange failures, making a total of six in the last eleven business days, -were recorded today when Sharp & Brown and Hurlbutt, Hatch & Co. announced their inability to meet their obligations. Neither failure occasioned the slightest surprise; in fact, both had been discounted for a week or more. The failure of Sharp & Bryan came during the morning session, shortly after the market had recovered from its de moralized opening. That of Hurlbutt, Hatch & Co. was announced In the af ternoon, just as prices throughout the list were tumbling lower than at any time before. The day's business can best be sum marized by the statement that almost four score of stocks, fully two-thirds of the active list, touched tho lowest record reached during the present movement, which had Its inception last Septem ber. At the close of the day some of the solid Interests—and it Is suggested that these interests have been ’’out of tho market” for weeks past, save here and there when support was most necessary— spoke reassuringly. They declared that the financial atmosphere was clarifying but for all that Wall street, as a whole, could see no silver lining in the clouds, much less a golden one. Other failures were confidently predict ed and the names of several importation firms were mentioned as among those in financial straits. Sharp Break in Exchange. A sharp break in sterling exchange dur ing the day was coupled with the sug gestion that at least one international banking house had been making des perate efforts to borrow money abroad. Officers of leading local banks ana trus companies decline to discuss the situa tion, except to express confidence as to tlie sound condition of financial institu tions. _ The day began ominously. Opening prices on the exchange were decidedly lower almost all through the list, but the break was checked by supporting orders. In fact, veteran observers were heard to declare that but for this sup port a panic would certainly have oc curred. , . The Sharp & Bryan failure made but little impression on values, but toward noon the list receded, the decline em bracing virtually all the standard stocks. The market then became dull and hesi tating, but in the last hour and a half stocks were again thrown over ruthless ly and tlie closing was weak and ex tremely feverish. Today’s shrinkage alone aggregated many millions of dollars. Countless stop loss” orders were caught in the selling avalanche, and it is probable that hun dreds of weak accounts were closed in utter disregard ot the losses sustained by their owners Tht- list, of stocks that touched their lowest level included Atchison, Baltimore and Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio, Chicago and Alton common and preferred, Chi cago Great Western and the debentures and second, preferred, Chicago, Milwau kee and St. Paul, Chicago and North western common and preferred, Dela ware and Hudson, Colorado and Southern first and second preferred. Denver and Rio Grande common and preferred, Great Northern preferred, Evansville and Terre Haute preferred. Long Island, Louisville and Nashville, Kansas and Texas, Missouri Pacific, Ontario and Western. Rock Island common and pre ferred, St. Louis Southwestern common and preferred, Southern railway common and preferred, Texas and Pacific, Union Pacific and Wabash preferred. Another Firm Goes to the Wall. New York/ August 6.—Laidlaw & Gar rie. members of the consolidated stock exchange, announced their suspension to day. The firm did a commission business, which was not extensive. The failure was without general Importance. The members of the firm are William Laidlaw and Daniel T. Garrle. Laidlaw a few years ago sued Russell Sago, charg ing that the aged financier threw him in front of the bomb which Norcross threw at Mr. Sage. Laidlaw was then cashier for Bloodgood & Co. and happened to be in Sage’s office when Norcross entered it. Despite the marked Improvement fur ther talk of trouble and probable failures was heard on every side, almost to the close, which was really buoyant. Reports current in trustworthy circles suggest that several firms and individuals whose affairs were found to be In bad shape have been permitted to make pri vate settlements, thus saving themselves such sacrifices as would inevitably have been made had their holdings been thrown upon the market. Rockefeller Grabs Chemical Company New York, August 7.—(Special.)—By the purchase of $12,000,000 par value In stocks and bonds of the Virginia-Carolina Chem ical Company-Standard Oil interests, It is reported today, secured control of the great fertilizer and sulphuric acid concern of tlie south. already control the American Agricultural Chemical Com pany and the American Cotton Oil Com pany. They also control the American Linseed Company. These various chemi cal and vegetable oil companies give to the Rockefellers practically a monopoly of the phosphate and cotton oil business. It is believed that the raid in Wall street which terminated Thursday just before the close of the market, and which was begun on Tuesday by the remarkable offer of the Consolidated Gas Company to sell $9,000,000 worth of new stock when stockholders confidently expected that a dividend much larger than that would be paid, was for the purpose of un settling the market and securing this chemical stock. After the whole market had been thrown into a state of demoralization under heavy selling of Consolidated Gas and United States Steel shares, the chemical stock was attacked and false rumors of troule in strong houses were circulated. This brought thousands of shares ot the chemical stock into the market and they were eagerly seized by Rockefeller brok ers. Death of a Well Known Lawyer Montgomery, Ala., August 7.—(Special.) Thomas Stubbs, a well known lawyer of this city, was found dead sitting In the Exchange hotel billiard parlors about 10 o'clock this morning. Mr. Stubbs w’as seen io enter the billiard room and take a seat in one of the cushioned chairs around the wall for spectators, but there being few persons In tho billiard parlors WANTED. Timber and Mineral Lands TO SELL. Atlanta Real Estate and Investment Co., No. 2 S. Broad St., Atlanta, Ca. at the time his condition was not no ticed. The colored boys who wait on the parlors were busily engaged at the time he entered In cleaning up and passed near him several times. He was seen sitting with liis head drooped to one side, but it was thought by those who knew him that he had fallen asleep. When Albert Corzelius, who attends the billiard parlors, came down in the morning to go on duty he observed Mr. Stubbs in the chair, with his eyes closed anu appar ently asleep, but looking unusually pale. He went to him, caught hold of him and found Stubbs dead. The coroner was notified and the remains were removed. —. *. PEACE PACT FOR NATIONS. Arbitration Treaty Between England and France Likely. Paris, August s.—Baron D’Estournellcs de Constant, who headed the French par liamentary arbitration group on its recent visit to London, has written an important letter to Foreign Minister Delcasse, set ting forth the results of the recent ex change of views in London and Paris between members of the British and French parliaments and the leading min isters of the two governments. The conferences included those with Foreign Minister Lansdowne and Colonial Secre tary Chamberlain, and there is good rea son to believe thajt Baron D’Estournelles, in the references he makes In his letter to the conclusion of an arbitration treaty’ for the settlement of the outstanding An glo-French difficulties, has the distinct approval of those controlling Great Brit ain's foreign policy, while his suggestion for a reduction of naval force is due en tirely to tho initiative of the leading members of the British ministry. The letter says that during twenty’ years the fear of parliamentary opposition has alone prevented the settlement ol the Anglo-French difiicullies. and that now that fear is dispelled noti.ing prevents the adoption of a col.ciliatory policy. All the British statesmen whom he saw, -with out distinction of party, says the baron, were unanimous in desiring this suggested new policy, which piust be clearly defined as the fojxner one was obscure. The new policy has three ggsential ob jects: First, the conclusion of a reasonable ar bitration treaty, similar to that negotiated between Great Britain and the United States, and in accordance with clause 19 of The Hague international arbitration convention; second, a reduction In the overwhelming naval an agree ment with France and. Russia concern ing which the baron claims to have received categorical verbal and written assurances; third, a friendly settlement of the outstanding differences, which, for twenty years, have vainly exhausted the resources of diplomacy. Baron D’Estournelles urges Minister Delcasse not to let this favorable moment slip by’ and declares tlqit with equal good will on both sides these throe general agreements with Great Britain can be signed in a few months. They Work While You Sleep. Every reader will recognize the title as the famous catch-line of C’ascarets, Candy Cathartic, familiar to every household. ‘‘Work w’hile you sleep,” was the motto of Major H. L. Kramer, the man who made C’ascarets famous, before he record ed his wonderful success with this won derful medicine. They say that Major Kramer succeeded by incessant work pluck, not luck—and that he not only worked while others slept, but worked w’hile he slept himself. Now he lets news paper advertising work while he sleeps. TROOPS CLAIM MILLIONS. Gomez Completes List of Cuban Soldiers Entitled to Pay. Havana. August 3.—General Maximo Go mez, the chairman of the committee, deal ing with the matter. has just completed a list of the revolutionary soldiers entl tlod to poy, * In an ntervicw with tho Associated Press correspondent, General Gomez said the list consists of about fifty thousand soldiers, and does not include civil em ployees. He believes that the pending loan will not cover .more than half the claims and anticipates that the Cuban congress will provide for the payment of the balance in some form of due bill, payable with Interest, after a consider able Interval, and probably discountable and transferable. The general says the work of his commission is final. General Gomez said the rate of wages allowed to an ordinary soldier is $1 a day during the period of his service. Ser geants and commissioned officers are separately computed, tho amounts al lowed ranging from a few hundred dol lars to $20,009, the latter sum being al lowed 'to himself as commander In chief. The pay of many generals and colonels is fixed at SIO,OOO and upward. Tho ma jority of the privates will receive in the vicinity of s99'.', indicating two and a half years' service. General Gomez said tho total altogether exceeds the commission’s expectations, but tho claims were re viewed so carefully that there is no doubt as to their justice. The decidedly popular idea entertained by the soldier element that they will be paid in full does not find much credence in administration circles The total amount of the claims has caused some surprise, and the matter is at present in an indefinite shape, but it is not believed that, the government will consider It ad visable to go beyond paying the veterans proportionately to the full extent of the loan. According to present indications, the amount of the loan will not meet more than 50 to 60 per cent of the total claims. Do You Suffer with Files? Do they protrude? Do they bleed? Do they pain you?

Report of Subcommittee of Mexican Monetary Conference. Mexico city, August 3.—The third sub committee of the monetary conference has adopted a report made by Ricard Garcia Grandaos, which, after citing figures regarding tho world’s present stock of gold, says these figures demon strate to the point of evidence that gold is at present nominally "not scarce," but tends to predominate absolutely as the sole standard and measure of values, silver being relegated to a secondary and subsidiary role as a token of coin age. The report continues; “Our commerce is carried on at pres ent almost exclusively with gold stand ard countries, and if we wish to avoid or mitigate a monetary and mercantile crisis it is imperative that we Intro duce a monetary reform that will give stability to our currency." The adoption of this report by the commission is taken to indicate that a gold standard is likely to be recommend ed in a modified form by the entire mon etary commission, which met (oday in full session. GROWTH OF PRESBYTERIANISM Fig'll res Issued by Stated Clerk of the Assembly. Paterson, N. J., August 3.—The Rev. Dr. W. H. Roberts, stated clerk of tho gen eral assembly, has issued the figures of the Presbyterian church of 1903. The most striking feature is the falling off in the number of ordinations.

Futures opened quiet and steady with prices at about yesterday's closing level.

World's Visible Supply of Cotton. New Orleans, August 7. —Secretary Hes ter’s statement of the world's visible SU P" ply of cotton, made up from special cable and telegraphic advices, compares the figures of this week with last week, last year and the year before. It shows a decrease for the week just closed of 119,980 bales, against a decrease of 130,135 last year and a decrease of 123,938 year before last. Tho total visible i- 1.567,843, against 1,687,823 last week, 1,637,120 last year and 2,097.051 year before last. Os this the total of American cotton is 742,843, against 828,823 last week, 990,120 last year and 1,190,051 year before last, and of all other kinds, including Egypt, Brazil.

Os the world's visible supply, as above, there, is now afloat and held in Great Britain and continental Europe 833,000, against 960,000 last year and 1,004,009 year before last; in Egypt 12,000, against 50,000 last year and 82,000 year before last; in India, 493,000, against 384,000 last year and 464,000 year before last, and in the United States 230,000, against 2-11,000 last year and 457,000 year before last. Comment on Bank Statement. New York, August B.—Tho New York Financier says: "The striking feature of the official statement of the New York associated banks last week was the increase of $3,832,600 in loans. This was entirely con trary to expectations, a decrease being confidently looked for as the result of the liquidation In the stock market and to consequent cancellation of bank loans. It appears probable, however, that the reason which was assigned in the bank statement analysis of the previous week for tlie failure of the loan item to reflect the stock liquidation was correct and that the otherwise unaccounted for changes in this item were due to reloan ing ot money released by the cancella tion of collateral loans, and also that loaning by banks at call has largely in creased because of the abstention by trust companies of such loans in conse quence of the prevailing low rates for monev. The not cash reserve was de creased $1,839,300. This was larger by $1,296,700 than was estimated from the traceable movements of money during the week. The deposits were increased $2,- 414,800. Tills sum was greater by $151,- 500 than tho total of the increase of loans, less the net decrease in cash, and consequently the statement does not balance. The required reserve was in creased $603,700 through tho augmented deposits. Adding this sum to the net loss of cash, as above, makes a. decrease of $2,473 000 In surplus reserve to $21,587,- 075.

Corn in most parts of the middle west is making unsatisfac tory progress. In Illinois and Indiana cool nights retard the growth of the crop. In parts of Missouri the crop is deteriorating. From lowa and Nebraska reports indicate hot weather and rains, but prospects are only for three-fourthi of a crop. In most parts ot the south the crop Is making excellent progress, and a good yield is assured; and in Texas the yield will surpass preceding years in New York state the weather is too wet and cool, and the crop is not gaining. W inter wheat still shows unsatisfactory yield. Threshing is making rapid prog ress, but quality is only fair. In soma sections ot the spring wheat states rams have helped the crop and heads are ill' ing well. Harvesting of oats Is well ad vanced in most sections of the middle west, but reports from lowa, Wisconsin. Missouri and Ohio Indicate considerable damage by rust, much more than at firs’ anticipated. In New York state tin* growth is heavy and quality will be good Cotton is still making good progress In tlie Atlantic states, though the plant is small and late in some parts of the gulf states it is fruiting well. Storms of unpre cedented violence in Texas cause some uneasiness, but no serious damage is yet reported. In Oklahoma the plant is in bloom and fruiting, but still small and very late. Tobacco in Virginia, Ken tucky and Ohio has been benefited by recent rains. Early plants are rapidly nearing maturity. A good yield of excel lent quality is promised from Virginia, in Connecticut there is no improvement and the condition of the crop is very unsatisfactory. The railroad car will carry as much as twenty teams of horses could haul, and the great ocean steamer will transport as much as four hundred railway cars can carry.
