There was a good deai of realizing however and the market soon eased off to last night's closing. Weakness in the stock market and an unfavorable view of the Mexican situa tion seemed to promote scattered local selling later in the morning and the market gradually sagged off TO a net loss of six to nine points. Continued absence of any aggressive demand for old crop positions combined with unsettling rumors as to tire Mex ican situation, seemed responsible for more active liquidation during the early afierrWo'n and May contracts sold 23 and later delvedes work about 8 to 10 points net lower.

Acute weakness of a few leading is sues led to liquidation and short selling elsewhere until the whole list became unsettled. The decline was influenced largely by the latest turn in the Mexi can situation. Houses with Washington connections received reports regarding the possi bility ot a serious crls.s which were cir culated through the street and gave the bears a plausible reason for putting out stock on al arger scale than at any other time recently. The decline continued, a large number of stocks gomg 1 to 2points lower, un til the movement halted while the mar ket digested the effect of the Union Pa cific dividend announcement. Heavy plunging on the short side in steel later drove it down to 57 7-8 and the general decline was resumed. Bonds easy. Closed heavy. Supporting orders were distributed on the announcement that the Atlantic fleet had been ordered to Tampico, and prices rallied 1-2 to 1 point. Receivers, however were not ful ly held.

Firm Stand Taken by Millionaire. Aiken, S. C. —A rather unusual con ciition existed on Hifchcock's farm last week, all the day laborers going on a strike. There were some twen ty darkies and six or eight, white hands all day laborers. The demands were SI.OO per day, an increase ot 15 cents. It was known in the city early last week that the strike was on, but it was thought that It would soon blow over, and nothing come of it. There was no violence at first but on Friday night a mob visited the house of an old darkey and it is said shot about 200 holes through it. In the morn ing Mr. Williams, the manager of the farm found a note on his door, warn ing him to leave, and a how of crepe. The only offence the old darkey had committed to excite the wrath of the mob, was that he was the tender of dogs on the farm, and had worked to the extent that he had fed the dogs during the week. The violence aroused the indigna tion of a number of the neighboring farmers to Mr. Hitchock and also some eight or ten automobiles Tillel with men went to the farm to talk to the hands and try to show them the error of their way. Talked to Them. Mr. Hitchcock had the strikers as sembled and made them a nice talk, and trieil to show them their error. Mr. Hitchcock told them that he could not pay the increase very eas ily without materially adding to the gross expense of his farm, but that it would not be fair to his neighbor farmers to pay the increase, and end ed with the positive assurance that their demands would not be granted. The strikers went into the barn to discuss affairs and after some hour or so. gave the assurance that they would go hack to work. The crowd then came back to Aiken, hut Sheriff Howard, who had also gone to the scene, brought hack with him Mr. Lonnie Craig and Mr. Weathersbea, two white men, who were charged with disorderly conduct. On Satur day morning Mr. L. W. Heath stood their bond, and they were rel -ased from jail. The preliminary will bo hold later. The strikers did not go to work Saturday morning, but yesterday morning they all reported for work, with the exception of four white men. including Messrs, Craig and Weathersbee. Observations. Mr. Hitchcock has a 13Te farm, land It has been count'.-wide talk ! how kind he is to Ills laborers. As | it is stated above the average wages in this county for farm hands is 75 j cents nrr day, hut Mr. Hitchcock I pays 85 cents, and a number receive SI.OO To sav that the strlkp was uncalled for is to express it ml'dly, as a laborer in the employ of Mr Hitchcock is in better hands than un d< r most conditions. » This striae would never have come about on the farm of a southern far mer. The laborers rather tried to take advantage of this northerner, as thnv thought he w'uild have to meet their deinati is. More than one of the neighboring fanners who were present would have settled the quos •inn In a few minutes. The negro. Hut 7cr Winfield, who is no well known about the cit'- P'fed as the leader of tie negro strikers and tie was one of those who In tste l that he was worth SI.OO a flay, if others receiv'd It.

A committee Is going to wail on the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Asso ciation this afternoon to ask their aid In making up the balance, and M Is even hoped they m*y persuade that public-spirited Institution to assume the entire deficit. By the way, there was a mysterious envelope left 111 the office yesterday for Susanna, containing $1 45 In small change which had been collected by "C. and Ft.” Would B and kindly make their identity known?
