STOCKS PARALYZED.
A Six Months Record for Dullness Broken
Sugar the Only Feature, But Some
Fairly strong Spots-The
Money Bugnboo.


NEW YORK, March 22-The dullness in the
stock market, which has been such a feature
for the past week, was still more pronounced
to-day and the transactions were the smallest
for the morning hours for more than six
months.
The strong tone of yesterday remained, how
ever, as the impression that the bank statement
was to be good one was most universal and
the selling was very cautious, while covering of
shorts was indulged in to 4 marked extent, con-
sidering the limitations of the market. The
general list remained within the narrowest
limits and the stocks among the usually active
list which fiuctuated over range of more than
u per cent could be counted upon the fingers of
one hand.
Sugar was again feature for one half the
session, but the traders sold it on the theory
that the dividend news having come out the
stock would be sale. Tennessee Coal was the
strong feature, rising to 81, against 541, but it
reacted late in the last hour to Sc. Hooking
Coal and Iron sympathized with it and scored a
net rise of ~ per cent, closing at 21.
In the railroad list the Flint and Pere Mar
quette stocks were specially strong and the
common at 34z is up ~ and the preferred
at 1905 is up 21s per cent. Among the other
speciaItes which showed considerable strength
the Wheeling and Lake Erie shares and Louis
vile, New Albany and Chicago were promi-
nenr. The other movements were entirely
without significance. The market closed dull
and strong at the best prices.
Railroad bonds showed the same dullness and
steadiness which has marked the declines
throughout the week, and on very limited
business only slight changes were recorded.
The Post says: Almost the only active stock
that is not lower than last week is Union Pa
cific, though there are larger declines on a few
of the specalties. such as Oregon Short Line
and Louisville, New Albany and Chicago,
which are respectively two and eight points
lower. Everything seemed to Indicate during
the week that the apprehensions of tight money
were the chief obstacle to a further advance in
prices of stocks. And yet, when the bank
statement was announced, it did not have the
immediate expected effect on the stock mar
ket, for in the 20 minutes before the close of
business prices fell off ID to e for the majority
of the active stocks.
The fact that the early prices in London were
lower than the closing prices here last night
may have had some effect to induce selling here
for the time being. But all things considered,
the entire situation, both as regards the pros
poets of the railroads for good earnings, and
also as regards the money market, have i'm
proved so much that it can scarcely fail to have
a tendency to make higher average prices for
stocks next week.
The following table shows the prices or active
stocks on the New York Stock Exchange yester-
day. Corrected daily for THE DISPATCH by

bers of New YORK Stock Exchange. 81 Fourth ave-

Dull and Stubborn Market, With Bulls Con-
fident of Higher Prices.

fident of Higher Prices.
Special to John NJ. Oakley & Col
NEW YORK, March 22-The stock market
to-day was duler than ever, if it can be intensi-
fed. We believe that there was not sale OF
Lake Shore. and only a scattering sale here and
there of standard stocks. Manipulators took
advantage of the few entries in the speculative
race. and trotted out some dark horses. Hook
ing Coal and Iron, Evansville and Terre Haute
and Flint and Pere Marquette common and
preferred were favored.
Next to these came Sugar Trust and Ten
nessee Coal and Iron. Lead Trust was slow,
possibly on account of Senator Sherman's trust
bill. and Sugar hesitated to go up with a "a per
cent quarterly dividend pending, because the
public distrust the whole outfit on account OF
the trust legislation and litigation, and further
because of the proposed reduction OF duties on
sugar.
The market was very stubborn and strong,
but no one seems to be willing to venture In or
to try to get out. Bulls are confident OF higher
statement, which showed a gain in reserves OF
about 81, 500, 600. There was a fractional reac-
ton after its appearance. and the market
closed with tirmness and dullness as its only
characteristics.
The Reading Company will squeeze out and
pay to its first income holders q of l per cent
on its coupons due last November. Ihe

stocks still hold up their speculative heads as
proudly as if their 'black diamonds were real
gems.
Trade reports are not as satisfactory as they
were a month or two ago. Country merchants
are asking for extensions; collections are only

from grain and provision merchants, and man
ufacturers' requests for renewals are also large.
Very few banks are taking new paper from out
side applicants. Merchants complain that COL
lections fail to show any improvement since

especially slow.

TIE STING OF THE ADDER.
A Qacst;on as TO Whether the Bites Are
Necessarily Fatal.

A QacstEon rs TO Whether the Bites Are
Necessarily Fatal.
The question as to whether adder bites are
or are not necessarily fatal is one over
which doctors and scientific people have
long differed. While on one hand it is dog
matically averred that the bite of these
reptiles is in all cases attended with fatal
consequences, instances are given on the
other of complete and in some cases speedy
recovery from the poisoning.
In the current number of Hdrd1cicEe'S
Science Gossip Beatrix F. Cresswell fur
nishes case against the fatal character of
the adder's blte-at least as regards dog,
Last summer in Devonshire Pomeranian
dog was bitten in this manner, but the ami
NAL soon recovered on being treated. Miss
Cressweu also gives an instance of a
member of her family having been
stung years ago and recovering, and
she mentions a curious fact with regard to
dogs which have recovered from snake
bites. These dogs she says, perpetualIy
hunt their enemies, killing them cleverlv
by an attack from behind, and whenever
dog is known to be "dead on adders." il
may be assumed that be at some period has
been victim of their Yenomous sting.

TIRE VITALITY OF WEEDS.


GhsHsn feopie Alarmed Lest American Cnt-
tie Bring Other New Pests.
A writer draws attention in the Marx
Lane Express to the danger likely to arise
from the sale as manure of the waste food of
the cattle that are imported in tens of thou
sands from Canada and America. This waste
food consists of Canadian and American
hay, and may contain the seeds of undesira-
bic weeds or the eggs of destructive insects.
That the danger thus hinted at is not
merely imaginary one many facts may be
cited to prove. About half century ago
Cambridge don planted in the gardens OF
the Cambridge Botanical Society female
specimen of the now famous Canadian river
weed. No seed was possible, but
by its roots and suckers the small
specimen has spread out until 1t has
choked up the rivers and canals of the Fen
country. costing some thousands OF pounds
to clear the waterways of this encroachlng
plant. Nor is it limited to the Fens, for
borne on canal boats it has been carried to
other parts of the kingdom, and may now
be met with in most of the rivers from Corn
wall to Caithness.
The introduction of the ageratum into
Cevlon is another instance. This apparently
harmless annual was sown by lady in her
garden at Colombo, but it has so established
and diffused itself in CeYlon that it costs the
Cingalese planters a quarter of million
yearly to keep the pest from choking all
vegetation in their plantations. The English
water cress is not serious weed at home,
but its unlucky introduction to New Zeal
and, where it throws up strong, hollow
stems II feet long, choking the waterways,
is source of great expense and trouble.
Thirty years ago a small exotic veronica
was discovered in garden at Reigate, and
was fostered as novelty. Now it is the
commonest weed in all the fields of the
South of England.

TRIBUTE TO SPRINGER
rendered by Judge Noyes In His Decision In
,ba ID n Il tn Sui

the H.. Y. a. II. lax Su1t.
CINCINNATI, March 22.-Judge Moves,
of the Superior Court, to-day decided a case
brought by MorZanthaler, tax collector, to
recover taxes on Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
ST. Louis stock listed for the years 1881 to
1886, with penalty for failing to list. There
are a number of these cases, growing
out of the fact that by the ruling of the
Auditor of State such stock was con-
sidered not subject to taxation. After
ward the Supreme Court decided that
it was taxable. The test case was
against NJ. E. Ingalls,, but Reuben
Springer's estate is also involved. The
Court refused the prayer of the plaintiff,
and, referring to the dead Mr.. Springer,
said his returns were not false either moral
ly or legally, either on account of evil intent
or technically.
"If judicial decision" said the judge.
''can vindicate the memory of one who
never did a dishonest act-of generous,
kind-hearted, Christian gentleman, who
spent his life and lavished his wealth by the
million for the welfare of his feliow-men, L
gladly lay that tribute upon his honored
grave"
Taxes were allowed for the year 1886 only,
without penalty.

"An oil contractors life is not all sun
shine by a good DEAL" said Mr.. Fishel.
''He has to be on the ground to oversee the
work, and is thus exposed to all kinds Of
weather. This was the cause of my trouble.
l caught cold after cold until it finally de-
veloped into case of chronic catarrh. My
head and nose were constantly stopped up.
First one nostril would be clOgged and then
the other. My eyes were weak and watery.
There were roaring and buzzing noises in
nv ears. 1 had dull, heavy pain in my
forehead, directly over my eyes. L could
feel the mucus dropping from my head to
