on THE STOCK EXCHANGE.

Wednesday. April Up. m.
Although the carly influences to-day were
against a rise In prices. tn" stock market at the
close showed decided advances. and WAS dis
tinctly strong Total transactions, however. were
not large. amounting only 70 1912 shares. At
the opening the tone was heavy owing To we'll
grounded assertions that no arrangement be-
tween General Electric and Westinghouse inter
ests was even contemplated; to declining quota
tons from LonGon due 10 the urfavorabl" traffic
returns Of St Paul. and to the probability that
the Baltimore and Ohio dividend would be
passed. There was rush to sell General Flee
the. and it dropped to 3la4, with only feeble
rally Later. the Baltimore and Ohio directors
decided against a dividend. and that sent the
price Of that stock to JlA. Declines big or .ittl"
seemed the rule Yet later, although no news
came to rcmoy- unple aeant carly impressions, or
t. contradict the stories on which they res.td II
was manifest that The tendency Of tho m2rkr'
was upward There was evident manipulation
in spots. but firm Is the convection among
traders that the market is bound u 20 up that
there was strong movement to pur,hase at the
declines. Hence the advance, although there
was very littlc outside buying. The most active
stock Sugar and IT gained point net, to
1852. In activity General Electric followed
closely. and after sharp decln" to 3l4.. ended
the session with only tire loss Of a at - a Con
siderable short interest Is said to exist in this
stock. Reading led the anthracite group and
scored a net gain Of "a. 10 lils; while Jersey
Central rose "A. to 80, and stayed there The i'm
preston prevails that H." managers Of these
coal companies really cannot allow IA" situ1ti IN
10 get worse. but impressions are not facts.
Despite its poor calning*. St Paul Vas pretty
strong. and for the day is only dOwn 4, to J9's
Rock Island was unchanged. while Northwestern
and Burlington advanced by small fractions
Strength marked the Internationally but the
general list attracted more attention. Man
haitian rose Az points clear, TO 1lSA. on evil
dent manipulation in behalf Of pool. While
Baltimore and Ohio lost finally only 2i2 points. TO
q ann In
regard 10 the dividend, other than the one pur-
sued. would have been unwise on the part of the
Baltimore and Ohio directors and their acti
justihcs many Of the doubts which have been
felt Of late about this property. Tennessee Coal
and Iron further advanced t. 2lli on INSIDE BUY
ing The market was strong and active at the
close.

BEATS GOLD BRICKS.
A New and Ingenious SWindle
Being Worked.
A Pointer to Gentlemen Who Desire
Short Route to Sudden Wealth
and the PenitentIary.

M. Aldrich, resident of Phoenix, was
arrested yesterday by Constable Frank
McCIintock on warrant issued by JUS
tice Kincaid, charging him with an en-
terprise which for ingenuity will throw
dense green shade around the gold
brick swindle.
The history of the transaction is in
teresting and whether or not Mr.. AL
drlch is held to the grand jury and
j subsequently convicted and sent to the
penitentiary valuable pointer is fur
nished gentlemen OF criminal instincts.
At the same time notification is given
against this new and peculiar kind OF
swindle.
The warrant against Aldrich was
sworn out by E. M. Doris, the second
hand dealer. He says that about a
week ago a colored express driver
brought to him a large piece of metal
which he represented to be gold mug
get, representation made easy by it's
juxtaposition to pin by which it
might be attached to scarf. In fact,
it looked as if it had long been worn as
a scarf pin. 1t was so heavy that Mr..
Doris readily accepted it as security
for q loan OF SIS and was told by the
colored individual that he was acting
with the consent of the nuggets owner,
Mr.. Aldrich. Mr.. Doris subsequently
met Aldrich, who corroborated the
statement of the expressman that he
hoI hn
Aldrich looks more like miner than
millionaire or a minister of the gospel.
Day before yesterday he called on Mr..
Doris and wanted to sell the pin. Mr..
Doris is not dealing in uncoined gold,
but he told Aldrich that Goldman &
Co. would probably buy it. At Aid
rich's request Mr.. Doris became the
salesman.
This circumstance itself was ingen-
ious. Nobody who knows Goldman &
Co., suspect that that long established
concern has any uncut eyeteeth in
stock. That is the last place on earth
man would undertake to sell spurious
gold. The nugget pin itself though was
calculated to inspire confidence which
would necessarily be strengthened when
offered by Mr.. Doris.
1t was readily accepted at its weight,
5000; $40 was paid for it. Mr.. Doris
deducted the amount of his loan to the
expressman and the rest was turned
over to Mr.. Aldrich. The Goldmans
are not regular analytical chemists but
suspicious were engendered against that
nugget. 1t was subjected to an acid
test which was convincing if not salts
factory and demand was made upon
Mr.. Doris for return of the $40. He
