NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK. April 27.-The stock market to-day
was short repetition OF that Of yesterday and
| reflected only the apathy Of operators and tho
prevailing temper among the professional and
room-traders. Prices to-day were weak from
tho opening to the close, while, was TO be ex-
pected from the limited volume OF business, the
fluctuations as a rule were without significance.
A few stocks were made the special marks for
bear attacks, however, and these shares showed
both more animation and a wider range Of
prices.
THE ATTACK UPON ROCK ISLAND,
which was started last evening, was continued.
and further loss of "a per cent. followed, while
the announcement OF the breaking on OF the
negotiations for the control o, n rival property
gave another opportunity TO sell Cordage down,
and Its decline was equally as large ~ that IN
Rock Island. The other Grangers, ana espe-
ciaIly Burlington, suffered with Rock Island;
but while such stocks as Reading and Atchtson
rolled up q large total OF transactions, the
changes in quotations were small The attitude
OF London on the market at present has q marked
effect upon the policy OF the professional eie-
rnent, aud sales By that c-ntre OF Its fayortes,
including Ere, gave much encouragement to the
drive at values and prevented any recovery OF
note.
IHE CLOSE FAIRLY ACTIVE, But HEAVY.
The first hour saw most OF the lowest prices
reached, but the Iallies were forcible after the
lifting of the pressure 10 sell. and the close was
fairly active and heavy At or near tho lC"est
prices OF the day. The final changes are almost
invariably losses but for small fractions 10 most
cases. while Rock Island lost "a. Cosdage, ",
and Burlington per cent. Sales listed stocks,
1000 shares: unlisted. 1000 sbares.

IRISH VOTERS AND BRITISH INTER.
FsTs

The number of voters of Irish birth or
parentage is very great in New York
State. 1t is safe to say that nine-tenths
of them at least are firm adherents of
the cause of Irish home rule. Many of
them have seen with their own eyes the
evils which British disagreement and
alien landlordism have inflicted on Ire
land. As rule they have generously
given both moral and financial support
to the champions of Irish nationality
across the sea. The effect of their ac-
ton has been admitted alike in the
British press and the halls of Parlia-
ment. 1t is a common saying among
Englishmen that but for American con-
tribution the persistent fight for Irish
self government could not be kept up.
The abuse and sneers which British
Tory organs and orators lavish upon
Irish-Americans for the aid they have
rendered to their oppressed coun trymen
is the best evidence that this aid has
been effective.
Yet great majority of Irish-Ameri-

EFFECT OF THE STATE SCHOOL TAX.

The figures furnished by State
Treasurer Field showing the practical
working of the State school tax have
been investigated by the mathematician
of the st J0hnSbWy Republican, who
finds that the law works in favor of the
small towns to the disadvantage of the
large towns. The Republican learns
that the law mulcted Middlebury about
$500 for the benefit of the smaller towns;
Bennington about the same; st. Johns
bury S97S.7l; Burlington S4746; st.
Adams $l5S3; Rutland 1914; Barre
about $500, and Montpelier $1,000;
Brattleboro S1400 and Rockingham
bellows Falls) $1,000, and Woodstock
about $3.50. 1t holds that the law in
fact is law to tax the larger towns for
the benefit of the smaller ones, and says
thst the taxpayers of the country dis
trlcts accept the windfall cheerfully,
and Immediately proceed to make their
own school tax just so much less.
In discussing the effect of the law the
Republican says: "The law benefits no
one on earth except these country tax
payers. No more money is spent for
schools than before, but the country
taxpayers save the amount which the
State takes from the larger places and
gives to them. 1t was just so with the
Huntington fund. The only practical
effect of the distribution of that fund
was that the country districts reduced
their own taxation by the precise amount
of their receipts from the fund"
There is manifest injustice here and
the repeal of the law by the next legis-
Iature would undoubtedly be demanded
by equity; but if the smaller towns are
benefited to the extent indicated it may
be as difficult to repeal it as it would be
secure REIMBURSEMENT of representation
in the lower House in proportion to the
population of towns.
