New York, March 26.—The activity
and excitement arising from the re-
port of the census bureau on yester-
day were evidenced in today’s cotton
market. At first heavy realizing at-
tracted by cables a shade lower than
expected eased prices off a few points
but almost immediately a flood of buy-
ing orders from New Orleans started
prices upward, there being also a goqd
buying of general character and the
market ruled strong. May sold up
to 15.19c and July to 15.290 before
the end of the first half hour, net ad-
vances of about 30 to 40 points. The
market ruled generally firm, closing
only a few points down from the best
under realising. The final tone was
steady with a net advance of 31 to
49 potnts. Sales were estimated at
300.000 bales.

New York, March 26.—Today’s
stock market was a small affair and
trading centered again in Union Pa-
cifla. That stock fluctuated over a
range of slightly more than a point
above last night's level, with constant
reactions. The suggestion that the
distributing of the Northern Securi-
ties assets should be submitted to ju-
dicial decision was the unsettling in-
fluence in the market in spite of the
various assurances that there was no
danger of hostilities between the
great forces concerned in the element.
Home excitement was caused all
through the stock exchange by the
outbreak of a dangerous fire near at
hand on Broadway, and attention was
diverted from the market.' Trading
was dull and languid. A reaction be-

The March of Progress.
Conditions have changed in Texas
more rapidly and perhaps more prog-
ress has been made thAn in any coun-
try on the globe. Thirty years ago fee
in Texas cost the consumer 10 cents
per pound, and could only be obtained
in limited quantities and in the larger
towns. Such a thing as a brewery at
that time in Texas had not been
thought of, except, perhaps, on a very
small scale.
Today the San Antonio Brewing as-
sociation is shipping all over the
country carload after carload every
day of beer that has been pronounced
by eminent authority to be pure and
wholesome.. Dr. Amo. Gray, in the
United States health reports, says of
the product of this famous brewery;
•’ Texas Pride’ and ’XXX Pearl’ yield
the greatest tonic strength so much
desireg to assist digetlon." These ar*
two of the leadinlhtds that are fa-
vorite. all over Tex... and are fast
