Senator Clay's Indorsement.
In a letter written to an Atlanta man
ufacturer. Senator A. S. Clay strongly
commends the movement herd to secure
the patronage of home-made goods. He
says he has often been mortified to see
people go away froifi home to buy for
eign goods, when the same *lass of
goods could be purchased at home,
probably cheaper, too.
Senator Clay thinks we should man
ufacturer not less than two-thirds of
our cotton crop. He believes we can
raise or manufacturer anything we
need right here, and that people should
not go away to buy goods when the
same thing can be obtained at home.

UNDERTONE STRONG
IT THE
Advances Predominated at
the Start, But Were Lim
ited to Fractions.
By T. C. SHOTWELL.
NEW YORK, March 5.—Stocks ad-
vanced In Wall-st. this morning as a
continuation of the covering movement
which was begun In the last hour yes
terday. Gains were limited to fractions!
however, but the undertone was strong,
and there was no liquidation on the ad.
vance. The Important factor seemed to
be holding together for gome develop
ment which they expect in a few days.
This development ha* something to do
with Secretary Taft’s visit to New
York. Antagonistic- legislation at
Washington and at Albany Influence Is
passing away and Indications are that
lawmakers do not thoroughly under
stand what they want to do. and It Is
believed the conservative element will
prevent action until there Is a. clear
understanding of the subject In hand.
The Bank of England reduced Its dis
count* rate to- 3 1-2 per cent. Promise
of harmony among tfie British railroad
operators caused an advance of 1-2 to
11-2 In home rails. American stocks
were steady throughout the session.
Mining shares were firm In Boston
and New York. The gold shares led in
a fairly active market on the curb.
Cotton was firm and wheat was up
Mftlc a bushel.
