From Wall Street To-Dav.

New YORK April 3.-The stock market
opened With squirt of activity this morning,
and there was fairly active business MAIN
tanned throughout the hour, with Atchison.
Reading and Northwestern leading. followed
by Chicago Gas, Union Pacific, Lackawanna
and New England. while most of the others
were dull and uninteresting. The opening was
firm to strong. most of the active shares show
ing advances over last evenings prices of from
Is to g per cent The forces at work in the
market, however, we're very evenly balanced,
and the changes in quotations were extremely
small, though a general dropping tendency
was noticeable from the start. A few shares
made slight advances in the early dealings. but
later the demand for stocks became less urgent
and positive weakness appeared in some por-
tiOns of the list. Lackawanna being the special
weak point, and a decline of IA per cent re-
suited i'll that stock. Missouri Pacific and
Reading came next, but their losses were only
fractional, and Atchison and Chicago Gas were
exceptionally well held. There was no other
feature of note to the dealings, and at IL
o'clock the market was active and weak at the
lowest prices of the hour.

THE IOWA LAND TROUBLES.
The Trespassing Farmers Threaten to
Resist If Arrest is Attempted.

Fort DODGE, Iowa, April 3.-The concerted
action of river land settlers to forcibly regain
possession of lands from which evictions were
made last fall continues uninterrupted. Three
additional farms from which occupants were
elected were seized yesterday by farmers, who
sowed crops in the name of the evicted tenants
small army Of men and teams, with machin-
cry aud seeds, will make tour of the entire
river land district and SOW crops wherever
evictions have been made. The excitement at
tendant on this bold action of the settlers has
been greatly heightened by the proposed insti-
tuition of legal proceedings charging all who
participate in this latest move with conspiracy.
Such action. it is feared, would precipitate the
long-averted trouble, az il would result in the
arrest of large number of farmers and all nm
able to furnish bonds would be placed i'll Jail.
A move like this would result disastrously to
farmers at this season. and it is announced that
rather than submit they will resist arrest.
County Attorney Moore is considering the best
mode of procedure.

Another Letter TO the Commissioners
by the Citizens of South Washington.

Messrs. Parker and Dwyer were at the Dis
trict buildings to-day, aud presented the fo,-
lowing letter to the Commissioners:
1t is with regret that we find il necessary to
refer TO the railroad question, but the injustice
is so great and the damage to South Washington
of such magnitude that it is simply impossible
to possess our souls with patience" as sug-
gested by an individual in Sunday paper-he
had not the nerve to put his signature TO has
poor excuse for violations of laws. but We take
it for granted he OWNS property which is in
jured by the railroad company and the illegal
actions of the District authorities.
Your action to-day transferring the permit
from the Bergner Engel brewing company TO
the railroad company may be considered by
YOU as an honorable answer TO four complaint:
We think otherwise. As IL seems that Won are
determined to retain the switch. and use the
charter rights of the railroad company TO in
directly benefit the Bergner & Engel brewing
company, We respectfully request the removal
of SO much of the switch as crosses the side
walk Immediately in front of property, No. COS

The railroad company may have the right TO
enter any ground owned by il on the line of its
main tracks, but we hardly imagine that you
will allow them the right 10 enter property. not
owned, leased or rented by the company. Now
can you show any justice in allowing the COM
walks abutting the lot of another-against the
owners protest? We now ask that so much OF
the track that may trespass on the sidewalk OF
house COS Virginia avenue be removed.
Our next in order IL the nat refusal OF the
railroad company TO obey your orders as TO the
removal of track on II street southeast. We
have asked verbally and in writing number
of times for some information TO what will
be done in this matter but all in vain. Don't
YOU think we are entitled TO same kind Of
reply? 1t will certainly result in the writer's
appearing in the Police Court to aid the Dis

spect we must insist on definite action
In reply to the writer in the Sunday Capital

the way was improved by the use of oyster
shells, we would ask the writer (if he owns any
property to proceed and improve the street

The passing policeman would soon show who

would be a fine. and yet the railroad company
improve the streets and assume ownership Of
the bed of the street, and may at some future
time claim absolute ownership without any

excitement, and many exaggerated stories re-
garding the nature of Simons' injuries were
circulated. Williams is president of the La
