Holders Show Confidence in . Rally bv
Keeping Out of the Market-No signin-
cant Price Changes-ConditionsI Improv-
ing-Features of tho Week.
There were no developments in the stock
market during the week upon which to base
extended comment. Business was fairly
good for the midsummer season. Total sales
were ss1 shares, against 1910 tho previous
week. In addition about 500 shares were sold
at auction. The only sale yesterday was that
OF 40 shares of Luster at 1875.
Closing prices as compared with those Of
the previous Saturday show the following
changes in the active list: Luster gained III
and Airbrake n. Philadelphia Gas lost Ii,
Wheeling /, Central Traction 81, Pleasant
Valley 1s and Switch and Signal T. There
were no fluctuations of consequence in other
parts of the list.
The tact that with so little doing prices
are, as q rule, well sustained is more signid-
cant than appears upon the surface. The
business transacted in Pfttsburg is solid and
enduring. There is very little kite-fiying or
rainbow-chasing. Stocks representing these
interests are therefore of high class and
possess intrinsic value. They are thus
lifted above the exigenctes of chance and
placed on the same level as staple merchan-
disc. This explains why Pittsburg securi-
ties maintain their high standing while
mushrooms are going to pieces.
There was some good news during the
week and none very bad. The announce
ment that the Westinghouse works at Will
merding were to be run full time made a
good impression in business circles. The
financial situation was stronger. There was
a better call for money from commercial
sources. A large amount Of funds was
shipped West to move the crops, but as 1t
will soon find its way back, the bank sur
plus is in no danger of permanent impair
ment. Gold exports have almost ceased,
and the counter movement will soon set in.
Europe is in need of breadstuffs.
In regard to the outlook for stocks, 1t Is
somewhat hazardous to speculate. But it is
not risking much to say that all signs point
to revival of activity in the fall. Good
crops are assured, railroad earnings will be
large, labor troubles are settled, or on the
eve Of settlement and money is abundant
Local dragnets have been removed So far
IS can be seen there is nothing in the way Of
4 bulge; and that this Is the prevailing opin-
on is shown by the light offerings on
Change, and the refusal to make oonces-
'ions. One thing Is certain: Those who are |
ying low for cheap stuff will be disap-
pointed.

Mormon elders, who have been preach

Of that county. were visited at night by
sixty-two armed horSemen and forced
at the points OF their guns to leave the

county for over year and had been
quietly at work preaching their doc
triueS and proSeyting among the
country people. They were
well-educated, shrewd fellows who were
always ready for debate with any of
the country people on Scripture sub
jectS, and by their superior education
and SOphiStry usually managed TO out
argue their opponents.
They were succeeding in getting quite
a following Of disciples, but in so doing
they only aroused the hatred of others,
who determined the MormOnS must 90.

THE EXPLOSION AT ROME.
victims In the Hospital Die.-The Pope
Severely Shocked.

ROME, April 24.-The explosion yes
terday AT Pozze Pantaleo, which caused
serious damage and loss OF life, created
great alarm at the Vatican. All the
windows of the Pope library were
broken and number Of precious relies
were destroyed. In addition many val
liable paneS Of cOlored glass in the prin-
cipal window of st. Peters baSiica were
smashed to pieces. The handsome
stained glass window over the chair OF
st. Peter was also broken.
In st. Paul'S Church all the stained
glass windows were damaged. Many
most valuable relics in the monastericS
have also been destroyed.
1t tranSpireS that the Pope had just
concluded the celebration OF low mass
and was engaged in prayer, when the
explosion shook the Vatican building.
So severe was the shock that His Holi-
ness tottered, and would have fallen
had not one of the servants sprung for
ward and caught the venerable prelato
in his arms. His Holiness has now re-
covered from the shock he experienced
through the explosion.
The investigation made by the mill
tary authorities into the origin Of the
explosion shows that it was caused by
the accidental explosion OF some shrap-
mel shell capsules. a few of the peo-
pie who were injured at the time OF the
explosion, and who were taken to the
HOSPITALS have since died from the eff
feet OF the injuries they received. King
Humbert to-day called at the hospitals,
and visited the wounded people. The
Kings sympathetic action in conveying
some Of the wounded in his own car
riage to the hospital yesterday and In
visiting the wounded to-day is highly
appreciated by the populace of this
