CLEWS ON THE MARKET.
The Effect OF Easter on Stocks, Bonds
and Money.

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE approach
OF the Easter holidays has tended to re-
strict operations during the week both
here and IN London. So also has the
uncertainty respecting Richmond Ter
mlnal affairs. AS soon as these him
ORANGES are out oI the way We look tor
AL active ana improving market, tor
both natural and speculative forces are
arranging themselves towards Just such
= course. The market has been sub
lected TO far test OF Its strength dur
ing the last few weeks of reaction, the
''bears" had free fling at it and the
outside public having almost foreaken
it. and yet 1t has throughout showed .
force OF resistance which demonstrates
that 1t has solid bottom. This strength
IS the more remarkable considering the
very large amount OF securities that
has been steadily flowing in upon US
from Europe, amounting to probably
considerably over one hundred millions
In value, within the last twelve months,
and also considering the dlsappoint-
ment OF the common expectation that
our large crops would bring us cores
pondlngly large imports of gold. The
forces that have been employed to
break the market have manifestly ex-
hausted their vitality, aud affairs nave
reached position in which . recovery
IN prices seems TO be naturally in order.
We are now through with the usual
transfers of cash for effecting the April
settlements, and the money market has
settled into q condition of case that is
not likely to be disturbed until next
August. Also, there are reasons for
supposing that the ease may continue
we'll into or through the fall months,
for at all the financial centers of the
country the accumulation of money Ia
the banks IS unusually large, while the
coinage of silver keeps up a constantly
increasing imitation of of the currency.
and the lowhess OF prices reduces the
requirements for money. At the same
time the railroad interest is getting into
n moro consolidated and harmonious
condition. It's weak spots are being re-
paired-though in some cases with ''un-
tempered mortar''-snd its revenues
are steadily increasing. 1t IS clrcum-
stances such as these that encourage
the speculative spirit and stimulate the
buying of securities for the temporary
employment OF idle funds, and We look
for the effects of these factors from
this time forward through the summer
months in rise of prices IN good &C.
curties generally. Ii would seem likely
that the condition OF the European
money markets may also foster re-
newal of speculation. The amount OF
epecie IN the SIX great national banks
averages 8 per cent ABOVE the amount
held year ago, and the rate of money
in the open markss st London 10 i(G
II per cent, at Berlin and Paris l. per
cent and At Frankfort II per cent.
These facts forecast some sort OF effort
10 find employment for money, even
though il be nothing more than swap
ping pennies"

the police fore - nov on the retired

sisted in putting behind the bars runs
into the thousands. Among iheni have
been murdereis. burglars. thieves OF
all descriptions. disorderlies and

has drawn the little patrol wagon since
il was first put in use. For years he
served both night and day. Every
b.sie coat respected him. Ii made no
difference whether there were two
men in the wagon or 3 box iuil. Ii
was Just the same with binn. He would
start on a run even before the word
was given and never siacken hs pace
whether he was running up grade or
down grade. During the time of the
strike he was sorely tried. The strain
told upon HIM and he began to fail.
Ills driver, Tom Maher. noticed II from
day to day. But old Plot did not give
up. His Intentions we're AS good IA

says, he disliked tn show tiInt the days
of MS usefulness were fast slipping
away. He would struggle and tug and
when his strength gave out human sor-
row wUuld be depicted on his intelli-

autobiography, as did Black Beauty,
he could undoubtedly tell an interest
ing story. The city paid $3.50 for Pilot.
He has paid tor himself over and over
again. "Iie was true hlue." said Cap
tam johnson. 1T breaks the heart of
all the boys to see Pilot CO." The
board of police and tire commissioners
sold Pilot for $50.

Instinct in a Dog.

The feats performed BY animals in find
ing their way home over territory thai
they could not by any possibility have
traversed are sometimes almost incredible.
About three months ago friend of mine
received as "A present valuable pointer
dog. The man who raised the dog lives in
southwest Missouri, about 200 miles from
this city, and the dog came by train in the
baggage ear and was brought TO his house
near the center Of the city in a covered ex
press wagon. The animal was then chained
up in the cellar till it was supposed he had
become accustomed to his surroundings.
The dog never seemed satisfied moped
about the house for two or three weeks
and then disappeared. 1t was supposed
that he had been stolen and after search
bad been made and reward offered, with
out result, the hunt for the dog was given
up as hopeless
About month after the dog was missed
my friend received letter from the man
who gave him the dog saying that Cato
had come back home, dirty, half starved
worn out, and with every indication of hav
ing made a long and severe journey. OF
course he was allowed to remain A dog
that could find his way home from dis
lance Of 200 miles was worth keeping, but
how the thing could be done is marvellous
II almost seems as if dogs and some other
animals have a special sense of locality and
direction Otherwise how could this ami
anal have found his way OUT OF a great city
and back home over 200 miles Of ground
which he had never travelled ON foot?-St
