BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
Benrs Make Another Drive Mt Railroad
Shares, but Meet Defeat-They De.
pended Too Much on a Bad
Rank Statement.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The stock market was
again dull and after temporary depression
developed a materially stronger tone than it
has seen in some days. There was drive at
the list as usual in the early trading but its re-
suits were not of special importance. and as
during the week persistent pressure of the
bears to force down prices has met with but
partial success, the depression to-day was only
temporary.
The attack this morning was made upon the
expectation that the bank reserves would show
falling of about two and one-halt millions, but
the statement of the loss fell million short of
the amount. and as there had been good buying
all along the line at the concessions. the rush
to cover after the result was known made
sharp and material rally Of course the de-
cline in sterling exchange rates and the
furry in money incident to the disbursements
of the lst of the month were partly responsible
Tor the lowering, these rates gives q promise
that there will be receipts of gold from the
other side and consequent improvement of
the speculation.
The bears were hammering Union Pacific
today by rumors OF an unfavora6le nature in
regard to the annual report, but the foreigners
were buyers and heavy covering was done.
The bituminouS coal stocks were specially
weak also in the early dealings but the rally
brought them up again and Tennessee Coal
scored handsome gain. though Colorado Coal
was sluggish.
Sugar was the strongest stock and was put
up by its friends to catch some stop orders.
The remainder of the market was devoid of
feature and the market finally closed quiet
but strong, generally at shade better than
the opening prices, The final changes are
slight fractions as rule, but Sugar is up 81
and Tennessee Coal 23s.
Railroad bonds were duller than usual of
late and the transactions in the two hours of
business reached only s372,0O0. The natural
tone was generally steady, but all the impor-
tant changes in quotations are in the direction
of lower figures.

brightest, most jubilant days you ever had
on earth and compress them all into one
hour, and that hour would be requiem, a
fast day, gloom, horror as compared
with the poorest hour they have had In
heaven since its first tower was built or Its
hrst gates swung or its first song caroied.
"oh." you say, ''that may be true, but am !
so afraid of crossing over from this world to
the next, and 1 fear the swapping of the cord
between soul and body" Well, all the
surgeons and physicians and scientists de-
clare that there Is no pang at the
parting of the body and soul, and
all the seeming restlessness at the
closing hour of lite is involuntary and no
distress at all. And 1 agree with the
doctors, for what they say is confirmed by
the fact that persons who were drowned or
were submerged until all consciousness de-
parted and were afterward resuscitated de-
clare that the sensation of passing into un-
consciousness was pleasurable rather than
distressful. The cage of the body has q door
on easy hinges, and when that door Of the
physical cage opens the soul simply puts
II fear ID 60 because the future Is so full OF
mystery" Well, 1 will tell you how to
treat mysteries. The mysteries have ceased
bothering me, for 1 do, as the judges OF your
courts often do. They hear all the argu-
ments in the case and then say: 81 will take
these papers and give you my decision next
week."
THE PHILoSoPHIC VIEW.
So 1 have heard all the arrangements in
regard to the next world, and some things
are uncertain and full of mystery, and SO L
fold up the papers and reserve until the next
lao L., ~ hnr
study all the mysteries to better advantage,
for the light will be better and my faculties
stronger, and will ask the Christian phil
osophers, who have had all the advantages
of heaven for centuries, to help ME, and l
may be permitted myself humbly to ask the
Lord, and think there will be only one
mystery left, and that will be how one so un-
worthy as myself got into such an enrap-
tured place. Come up out of the sepulchral
shadows. 1t you are not Christians by faith
in Christ come up into the light; and if you
are already like Lazarus, terminated, but
still have your grave clothes on, get rid of
them. The command is: Loose him, and
let him CO."
The only part of my recent journey that
1 really dreaded, although I did not say
much about it beforehand, was the landing
at Joppa. That is the port Of entrance for
the Holy Land, and there are many rocks,
and in rough weather people cannot land at
all. The boats taking the people from the
steamer to the docks must run between
reefs that looked to me to be about 30 feet
apart, and one mistroke of an oarsman or an
unexpected wave has sometimes been fatal,
and hundreds have perished along those
reefs. Beside that, as we left Port Said the
evening before an old traveller said: 1.-The
wind is Just right to give you rough laud-

The selling fever was still uppermost at the
stock market Saturday. and all the business
transacted was at still further concessions.
Street railway shares were conspicuously weak.
Pleasant Valley sold down to 24lI, and closed
at "a bid. The fractions were in the same boat.
The weakness in some of these stocks is said to
he due to the dissatisfaction of Eastern
holders with the action of Councils in granting
privileges to so many competing lines.
The natural gassers also developed further
proof of lack of recuperative power the
only strong feature among them being Char
tiers The demand for it is said to be from the
inside. There was All active request for bank
stocks, and some of them were higher Rail-
ways about held their own, but electric the

course of prices and declines in nearly all cases

The Hide Market.
Markets are very dull, and prices are nc
below rates of last week. This is the season of
the year when tanners don't care to buy, as
hides are poorest in quality at this time by rea-
son of long hair and grubs. The wise tanner
who has the wherewith to enable him to carry
stock buys heavily in the fall when hides are at
their best. Not more than 10 to Is per cent of
those now on the market are free from the
ravages of grubs, and all are more or less
weighted by the dirt which gathers in the long
hair of winter hides Calfskins suffer from the
same cause, but owing to their scarcity are
firm at nc higher prices than prevailed week
ago,
