THE CROP
H Was Still Paramount In the
Market Yesterday.
MUCH DAMAGE REPORTED
Bleel Securities Again Conspicuous by
Their Heawin????The Tone of the
Late Afternoon Was
Steady.
(By Associated Press.)
NEW TORK, Sept. 16,-The same In?
fluences that have dominated th?; stock
market for somo time nn.it ?v?ro Again In
?iontrol to-day, The crop situation con?
tinued to be the paramount Issue, and
out of the mass of sensntlonnl rumros
end reports recently circulated, It Is at
last clear that serious harm has been
wrought to crops In certuln sections
of the northwest, From Ocorgla and
Alabama camo roporls to-day of dam?
age to cotton by high winds and heavy
rain fall?. Trading during tho early
session was noteworthy chiefly for a
renewal of yesterday's selling movement
for WcHtorn accounts, Chicago taking a
lending part, As In tho early week, Sled
securities were again conspicuous for
their heaviness, both the common stock
and the five per cent." bonds declining to
new low levels. Bales of th? bonds were
very heavy/ transactions for the first
two hours aggregatine nmmldjerably more
than one-half of operations for that pe?
riod In the liond department.
Declines In the list wer? ?smeral at the
outset, but ? the tone soon changed to
relative steadiness. Atchlson seemed to
be taken up quietly end Union Pacific
.was another one of tho few stocks that
offered resistance to the early selling
pressure. Commission houses reported
little buslnoss and out-of-town operations
?wem doubtless curtailed by the, storm
which caused serious Interruption to all
telegraphic service. The specialties were
almost entirely neglected, a . notable
exception bolng International Paper, pre?
ferred, which declined, almost 3 per cent,
below the last recorded sale. Brooklyn
Transit registered a 2 1-2 per cent, loss,
but later made Almost complete recov?
ery. At midday the market was almost
at a standstill. A rally. In no sense
proportionate to the decline, soon follow?
ed on buying attributed to Important lo?
cal Interests, but support was still lack
Inr In the Steel Issues, the con-mon
selling lower than In the morning, while
the bonds continued to be pressed. for
?ale/ Sugar, which has taken a place
ln the Inactive list, was sold for Boston
Interests. It Is said.
The steady?' tone of the late afternoon
was more attributable to short covering
than to any real buying dornend. The
Steel bonds more than regained their loss
of tbe early peirt of the day.
The local money situation continued
unchanged. The bond market -was slight?
ly lower this morning, following the sharp
break In United States Steel, second 5's.
The tone Improved later, but the closing
was Irregular. ,

months except September, which was 1 point
lower, following the English cables, wblch were
disappointing as to that position, though tbe
Ister deliveries were quit? up to local anticipa?
tion!?. For a time the market showed firmness
on further covering and bull support, with tho
solive months shortly after tb?? call from 4(80
points higher. At this lev?) selling again be?
came aggressive, accompanied by rumors that
prominent bull Interests were unloading, and:
tb? Initial gains wero soon lost, with a decline
of about St?(4 points from yesterday's finale an
parent. G
Then tho weather news which had not beon
so bad early, began to grow Very much worse,
and the 'market rallied sharply, lleavy rains
were reported throughout the centrnl belt and
low figures were recordad In the northern por*
tlon of the western belt with forecast promising
little better conditions for teh Immediate future..
This led to mor? or less covering, and that bust*
nera was not more active was probably du? to

of the storms, September sold up to 11.28;

Answers Crltles In the Doc

HE ONLY DID HIS DUTY
Made Every Effort to Oommunicato
With Judge Homes, but If Latter's
Views Confllcled Wltn Com?

sult Would Have Been
. the Same.
Goverfor A. J. Montague last night Is?
sued a signed Btntcmont, addrosscd to
the commlltee of tho ^recent Chase City
meeting, roplylng to tho resolutions
adoplod on tho subject of Doo Bacon's
rcsplto.
Tho Govornor rovlcws the wholo caso
at length, taking up each ono of tho
r?solutions separately and making strong
answer. Ho goes on to stato that he
made every effort to roach Judge Homos
In ordor to consult his views along with
tho?* of tho Commonwealth's attorney,
and having been, unable to do so ho acted
upon tho advice of tho latter, and ls con?
fident that ln so doing ho only did his
duty.?
Tho Govornor makes no apology for
his actions, but on tho othor hand, boldly
proclaims that had he beon able to get
Alto views of Judgo Homos ana the Judgo
had taken one- side and the Common?
wealth's attorney the other, ho would
have still felt.lt his duty to grant the
temporary ret-plte, whichever,-ofllcer had
asked.
THE ANSWED IN FULL.
The paper ls couched In the most cour?
teous language. It will no doubt bo wlde

caso, and ls ln full ns follows?.
Commonwealth of Virginia,
Governor's! Ofllco,
Richmond, September 16, 1003,
Me-srs. Vf. F/ Clark and othors, Com?
mittee Chase City, Va.:
Gentlemen,?I beg to acknowledge ro
celpt ot tho resolutions adopted by certain
citizens o? Chase City and vicinity on
tho afternoon of the 5th Instant respect?
ing the respite o? Doc Bacon,
Just criticism of official acts should be
welcomed by the official concerned. If prop
or conclusion or action, either by him or
the people, Is thereby promoted. I &*>,
eume your action to hav.e been taken in
this spirit, and In like spirit I reply to
your resolutions,In their orde?.
1. We want no innocent man's life
taken,
Only a supreme appreciation ot tho
spirit of this resolution has constrained
my action; and I am soiro no citizen ot
your community would think that I der
sire the life of an Innocent man or the
freedom of a guilty one..
2. That you bellove the sontonce just
and sustained by the evidence
It Is presumed that this,and all other
sentences rendered In conformity with
the due process of law are Just, and that
the same should not be disturbed by an
executive save for grave and strong rea?
sons. But when a prosecuting officer ln
good faith asks for the temporary sus?
pension of'a sontonce, upon,the ground of
the Innocence ot the convicted man, then
no just-minded executive t'hould be satisfied
until he has given full consideration to
all tho facts and reasons presented. It
ls his belief, and not tho belief of others,
that mensures tho Intelligent and faithful
performance of his duty, If tho oxecutlvo
views his responsibility otherwise he must
be guilty either ot cowardice or oppres?
sion. ... "* ' ?
SUFFICIENTLY COVERED.
3. The comments contained under sec?
tion two are sufficient to cover your third
resolution. .'*"?*
4. You "do not understand why tho
Gcvenor Interfered in the matter with?
out having first cons/ulted with tho Judge
who tried the_case as well as with the
prosocutlng attorney."
In order that you may understand why
I did not consult with the Judge, the fol?
lowing facts are given:
On the night of September 1st. about 11
o'clock, the following telegram from the
Commonwealth's attorney of Mecklen?
burg to James T. .Rabil};, Esquire, counsel
for Bacon, was communicated to me:
"I would approve ot short respite for
Bacon, as I am doubtful as to his guilt
bolng fully established." ?
In accordance with official usage this
telegram was vorlfled by mo, and tho
sheriff of Mecklenburg was at once wired
to respite Bacon until Friday, tho 4th In?
stant. Of course, action had to bo taken
then and there, and no timo was glvon
for communlcntlng either with the Com?
monwealth's! attorney or the Judge.
On September 2d, the flay of the hanging
of Finch, Mr. Goode wired that he saw no
reason for further delay In tho exocutlon
of Bacon. I at once wired reriuestlng that
he would personally confer with me that
I might be apprised of the facts upon
which to base an intelligent statement of
my'action. Mr. Goode kindly gave me the
conference, nnd shortly thereafter I made
a. statement, whloh was published, refus?
ing further respite.
THOUGHT ? KG ?? IHJNG.
On Soptembor 4th. between 4 nnd 5
o'clock ln the afternoon, tome hours after
I thought Bneon had been hung, tho fol?
lowing telegram was received from Com?
monwealth's Attorney Goode:
"I have had a talk with minister who
recolvod Finch's confession, also Bacon.
I bellovo Bacon to bo Innpcent, and ask
thirty days' respite for him. Reply at
once to sheriff."
I nt onco wired tho ehorlff ns rorniested.
I did not wire Mr. Goode or Judge li?me??
nt this time, "Wbntove?? was to ho dono
liad tn bo done then nudi there, for when
my directions renohed the sheriff tlio con?
demned man wns about to start for the
gallows,
l'pnn reaching Ihn executive ollleo on
the morning of September (?th, some hours
prior to tho passage of your resolutions,
] wrntn a courteous letter to Judgo Homci
ro'iucstliig h|s opinion ijppn tho ftu-ts of
the case. One the 7th Judge Homes mudo
reply, and gave his letter to tho press, Us
will bo found In Tho Tlnies-Dlspatch of

letter of Judgo Home?, atiq" before the
receipt of hi?? original letter to mo, I wired
reouostlng u statement of ihe fu et h or
evidence, which recjiiost ho has compiled
with.
Therefore, it Is manifest that 1 confer?
