For weeks previous to the entertainment whispers of "such bewildering time we'll have at the Cut-Of were cur rent among the devotees to such occa- sions, and the ample responses to the generous invitations of the host and bis charming daughter.

We see 1t stated in one of our ex- changes that Fort Smith wants ' state convention of people who are interested in better roads. Let us have such meeting by all means. If there is one thing moro than another that will benefit the pcople-all the people--it is improved highways. If there is a state in the union that is suffering for the want of such im- proyements 1t Is Arkansas. We may build towns and cities with railrosd6, telegraphs and telephones, but the rural districts upon which the pros perity of the people depends will always be in the background while VIC aro without roads.

 Christmas is over and gone. the New Year with it's hopes and fears draweth near, and as we look forward to it we wonder what it will bring to us. Yet, if we could, we would not look into the future. We would not have removed that mystery that ever shrouds it, for there is always some- thing attractive. fascinating about the mysterious. It is better, therefore, to go forth to meet the future bu0yed by hope and strengthened by lessons taught by the experience of the past. Then should sorrow come to US we may meet it brayely. going forth courageously to battle with fate. and not with hearts bowed down by knowl- edge of coming woe. Should the con- ing year ring nothing but joy bells for us, yet we would not anticipate them, for unexpected joy is always sweetest, reyiving and refreshing the dropping heart even as heavens pureSt dew drops revive the dropping flower.

CLOSING PRICES OF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS.
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Friday, April ZIP. m
The stock market was nearly stagnant today.
In the early dealings Northern Pacific preferred
seemed to be pressed for sale, but its extreme
decline was only per cent, and the greater part
Of the loss was promptly recovered The last
hour was distinguished by a smart attack on
Atchison but it's final loss was only IA per cent.
Both movements may have been caused by selling
for the short account but there is little doubt
that in both stocks gradual liquidation has
been going on for some time The earnings Of
these companies. together with the prospects Of
traffic in the nsxt few months. cannot be con
sdered encouraging while the constant selling for
European account naturally exerts depressing
influence Outside these stocks the market pre-
scented no interesting features. Reading was less
aggressivcly prominent, and after narrow fnctua-
tions it closed at it's fret price, which was a com
porative gain Of q small fraction. Louisville and
Nashville was unusually active, and the buying
was so effective that an advance OF l2 per cent
was established. There were plausible eXplana-
lions Of the movement, which were wholly indie
pendent of the intrinsic merits OF the stock, al
though the earnings OF the company have bcn
unexpectedly favorable. The final variations In
the general market were insignificant. They were
usually declines, but the exceptions were ntmer-
Gus and in fact the closing prices were not widely
different from the opening figures.
The renewal of the outward movement OF gold
was apparently without effect on the course OF
prices The ENGAGEMENTS amounted u 81 $4,000,
And Paris is the destination Of the whole sum. En-
ports OF gold are both natural and 6easOnablc, ana
there is no reason 10 suppose that they will not be
continued as usual through the next two months
The mercantile demand for remittances is large,
while the low prices of agricultural products d.
minish the available supply OF commercial bills.
There is always, moreover, the unknown factor Of
the International movement OF securities. lf
Europe is not energetic seller OF American rail-
way securities, il certainly Is cautious and almost
timid buyer and the balance Of the transactions
is undoubtedly against this country. The financial
and political conditions abroad are thoroughly
adequate excuse for thi, S e ulatlve hesitation.
THE DAY IN THE BOND MARKET
There were again transactions in Government
bonds but the market was firm, and asked prices
for As were advanced. The closing quotations
were as follows:
