NEW YORK, April 25.-Cbicsgo Gas WAS,
| OF course, the great feature OF the share
speculation in the Stock Exchange today.
Plenty of rumors had been circulated as
| to the adverse effect of the gas trust
decision in Iilioois. 1t was st tated that an
| injunction restraining payment of divi.
dends would be applied for at once and
granted; that the forfeiture of the charters
OF the several companies in the trust
would follow, and that total disruption
| OF the Chicago Gas would be the outcome.
As consequence heavy blocks of stock
| were thrown upon the market at the
opening. the first price being Ga which
was 2;;s per cant below yesterdays closing
figure, anG ZOO shares were sold between
that price and 63 before tue
Stock Exchange official reporters could
catch up with quotations. This
WAS the lowest point touched, and when it
Was reached buying orders were uncov-
eered. believed to be for the account O. in-
siders who had sold at the high prices of
last week. These purchases of the stock
had steadying effect and checked the
selling movement. As a result rally of
"a per cent. to 641s WAS made, and. al
tnough there were quite free sales there
after, the panicky feeling was absent and
the lowest figure subsequently recorded
was 6311 S, the final sales being ut recovery
OF or 2$< fellow the last price yesterday
Officials OF the company profess to feel
no alarm at the situation. Tney scout the
idea OF the forfeiture of the charter of any
OF the combined companies.
The stock market generally was sur
prlsiugly firm in view of the disturbing
lni1nences. During the morning the only
other shares which appeared in the trans
actions TO any extent were Sugar, Dis
tilling. st. Paul and General Electric. st.
Paul was strong in London buying and
rose %s per cent. Sugar was sold moder
ately aud after an advance of "a. reacted
per cent. Distilling receded q per cent
but quickly rallied and during the after
noon sold up per cent, losing "a per
cent in the final dealing. General Electric
lost only H per cent and then advanced /
per cent, closing within Is per cent of the
top figures. During the afternoon some
few OF the specialties recorded declines but
the market in the main was firm to strong
on small volume of business, and closed
firm with all the active stocks higher
than yesterdays closing, except Chicago
Gas and Reading which is Is per cent
lower.
The railway and miscellaneous bond
market was a trifis easier during the
morning, became firmer in the afternoon,

CHICAGO, April 25-Shorts in the oat
market today on the board of trade real
fzed that they were cornered for that de

sion. AS oats rarely advance or declin,
more than Is to Il cent per bushel In {

be seen that ~ cents advance is some

1t was all due to the fact that an old an6

DROUTH BROKEN.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 25-The drought
which has prevailed in California for over
fifty days was broken by light showers
this morning throughout northern and
central California, and indications are ex-
ceedingly favorable for rain in southern
California. The excess of heat did much
damage to grain and forage crops, and the
moisture is of great benefit except in the
district of San Juan river, where the in-
jury is widespread and almost beyond re-
pair. The rains were by no means heavy,
but they have done much TO relieve auXi-
~ty. Fruit prospects throughout the eu-
tire state are exceedingly good and the
cherry crop is reported TO be the largest in
many years. The dry spell baked the top

tion of orchards and vineyards was aban-

The Early Girl,

Principal North of the graded
school at Plantsville, Ct, recently
offered a couple OF handsome trout
poles to be given as prizes to the two
pupils who should catch the first and
second trout after Easter. He had
his eye on two bright curly headed
boys as the probable winners of the
prizes, and inwardly hoped for their
success. But the poles were not for
them. On the morning alter Easter
two pretty girls OF 20 rose from their
beds at the first streak Of dawn, don
ned tall rubber boots, borrowed their
brothers trouting gear, dug a box OF
horrid angleworms, and were whipping
a neighboring stream before
the bright boys were out of their
cribs.
They were back in time for break
fast, and an hour later displayed their
catch, a dozen handsome trout, to
the %astonished principal. Mr.. North,
however, vas equal to the occasion.
In the presence of the assembled
school he complimented his two smart
girl pupils on their ambition, alacrity,
and cleverness, and presented the
trout rods to them. Then the school
cheered. The old maxim about early
rising has since undergone a revision
in Connecticut. 1t now reads thus:
THE early girl catches the trout"
