FINANCE AND TRADE
Sugar Advances as the Result of
Continuous Purchases.
GENERAL ELECTRICS EARNINGS Less

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening StaE
NEW YORK. May 1.-Opening prices
this morning were barely steady. and were
inclined to yield to the professional clamcr
for reaction. The May day celebration
in London deprived this market of an i'm
portant speculative factor and had a ten
dency to restrict the volume of business
in railway shares.
A further advance in the price of refined
sugars and liberal purchases Of the stock
representing the company profiting most
by the advance had a good influence on the
entire market and prevented any pronounc-
ed selling movement. Had sugar been In
sympathy with the yielding tendency else
where noticed substantial concessions would
have been recorded at the close Of the
days business. The bulk Of the trading
was attracted to this stock and the price
advanced more than ~ per cent on con-
tinuous purchases of large amounts. The
condition Of the trade Is said to he per-
fectly satisfactory for this season of the
year. with marked Indications of further
improvement.
General Electric was marked up Y per
cent during the early trading, but sold OF
later on a small volume of business. The
annual statement of this company. on
which most of the recent activity has been
based, reflects a net decrease for the year
of 81, 49,, $50.
Distillers sold down y per cent on a fair
volume of business. and American Tobacco
reacted to 102h on a few transactions.
In the railway list Northwest was the
feature at decline of l per cent, due to
renewal Of bear attacks In anticipation
of adverse action ON the dividend Ques-
ton. The weakness in the property was
reflected to a moderate degree in other
members of the group, but the small vol
ume of business prevented any significant
declines.
The undertone Of speculation contains
little encouragement for the advocates of
mitted that no reaction consistent with
the extent Of the advance has been had,
and until such a movement sets IN buyers
will be more or less cautious in their trad
ing 1t is not unlikely that period OF
caution will be substituted for one of re-
action and that any activity Will be In
the direction of advanced values.
1t is a significant fact that the buying on
an advancing market is at present superior
to tho selling on a declining one. The in
dustrial group continued to monopolize the
trading during the closing hour. and In
most instances the best prices of the day
were recorded toward the close Of the ses-
sion.
Sugar advanced to 11c during this period,
and encouraged purchasers Of other menu
bers of the Industrial group. There was
some difference of opinion as to the inter-
probation of General Electric's report, but
the majority considered it all that business
conditions could reasonably warrant The
railway list closed dull and irregular with
out significant changes.

THE HEALTH OF THE CITY.
The Death Rate for n Week-Causes OF
MOrfalitY.

The weekly report of the health depart
ment. issued today, says: There was a
material rise in the number of deaths last
week in the District as compared with the
several preceding weeks. The mortality, as
reported at the health department. from
1O3 reached 40. and the death rate went up
fl om 1910 to 1891. The principal causes for
this increase were affections of the lungs.
These numbered 81. as against b as by the
last report. There were also a large num-
Der of deaths among aged persons, Of
whom II died. These constituted nearly one
third Of all the deaths. and about double
the average of this class so advanced "in
life On the other hand, the city seems
to be comparatively free from acute con-
tagious maladies. There was no fatal
case of typhoid fever. whooping cough
nor diphtheria reported. and but one
from scarlet fever while at the same time
there was a corresponding decrease in the
number Of cases of these two last men,
toned diseases"

in Alexandria County.
The Outlook for Overthrowfng the
Gamblers in the Coming
Campaign.

The republicans of Alexandra county
met in convention at noon today at Con-
| valescent Camp, in the county, to nominate
candidates to run for county officers at the
general election to be held May %.
The convention was composed Of five
delegates from each of the three districts
in the county, and in this case all were
colored. The room was well filled. and not
more than dozen white men were in the
crowd.
r. w. Johnston, commonwealth's attor-
ney for the county, called the convention
to order and ]. w. Pendleton was chosen
as chairman. with Frank Williams secre-
tary. The members of the convention,
shortly after its organization, retired to a
room to hold caucus, and on their return
and while waiting for the report Of the
committee on credentials, r. W. Johnston
made speech. In which he denied the ac-
cusatlonS In the press. Mr.. Johnston
made an attempt to defend the position he
mas occupied In connection with the race
tracks of the county, admitting that he
owned horses ana raced them daily at
Alexander Island. W. l.. Holmes also made
an address. The committee on credentials
reported all delegates correct and all the
delegates were present.
The Nominations.
r. W. Johnston was unanimously nomi-
mated for the office Of commonwealth attor-
ney.
w. c. Wibert was nominated for county
treasurer. H. L. Homes was chosen by ac-
clamation for the Office of commissioner
mated for sheriff.
After the nominations had been made the
convention dissolved itself into a general
meeting, and discussed the political situa-
ton.
The Star reporter called on Mr.. H. H.
Young, clerk Of the county court, this
morning. and was informed that the candi-
dates who would run against those nomi-
mated at today's convention would be VIII
Palmer and r. w. Veitch for sheriff, VIII
H. Douglass for commonwealth attorney,
and for county treasurer. Duke Torrison.
Ihere Will be no opposition to the com mis-
sioner of revenue.
Mr.. James E. Clements, in a speech made
at Carne's School House last night, stated
that it would be impossible for him to be a
candidate for commonwealth attorney, as
was anticipated The "moralists" as they
call themselves. have gotten together and
are well organized, and the fight will be a
hot one.
Effort for Good Government.
The outcome will mean good government
in the county Of Alexandria or the con-
tinuance Of the lawlessness that now ex-
lists there, and tine fight is watched with a
great deal of interest by all good-gove-n-
| ment people In this section Of the country
A prominent politician of the county told
The Star reporter that the reason James
E. Clements had withdrawn from the
fight is that he Is promised no opposition to
his candidacy for the legislature next fall.
The Veitch-Johnson combination have
plenty of money and are backed by the
gambling element.
The republicans feel confident of carry
Ing the county by large majority. There
are 800 voters in the county, coo Of which,
1t is said, can be bought.

Seed Wheat.

We know now for certainty that q
great deal of the wheat rust is brought
on our farms through the seed, and the
spores of the rust are held over from
year to year in the seed. Seed that is
taken from the field where the rust has
been prevalent should always be subject
to the hot water test. The seed we pur-
chase from seedsmen should also be
treated in this way, for we know not
how many rust spores may be in the
seed to begin growing when the favor
able conditions are given. The hot wa
ter test is the only sure way of killing
rust. If done properly, there is no dan
ger of injuring the vitality of the seeds,
while all the spores of disease will be
thoroughly destroyed, writes an Ameri
can Cultivator correspondent.

As soon as the hop harvest is over,
growers ought to set their yards in order

If burned in the yards, there is danger

The hop roots require care and protec-
