The Queerest Town.

The most remarkable city in the
world is Fish City, Mich. In a
way it suggests the tented towns
of the Arabs of the desert. 1t may
be folded and carried away in a
night. 1t is not built on land, nor
yet is it a city of boats. 1t has no
existence in summer, yet in winter
it is teeming thriving place. The
ice Of Saginaw bay is the town site.
The same sheltered cave is used
every season. AS soon as the bay
is frozen over the bay springs into
existence. The houses are built of
rough pine boards, we'll chinked
and protected from the winter
blasts. The population varies from
year to year. In 1894 it was
5000, and in lS94-5 it sprang up
to 5000. This year there are 5000
souls are sheltered in the pine
cabins of Fish City, every one of
when is engaged in the catching,
cleaning and packing Of late trout
for the market. A mayor is elected
for the season, who has the support
of the town council. There is a
fire engine, a Roman Catholic
chapel and union meeting house
and the necessary stores and liquor
shops for the accommodation, of a
busy population.

There are signs, however, that this flow is

alton
Associated Press Special Wire


NEW YORK, March 21.-Today's stock
market was fairly active, and the business
was distributed in small amounts over a
wider range than usual. Only one stock,
American Tobacco, reached a commanding
total. AS usual for some time past, the
dealings we're almost entirely professional.
The sentiment appeared to be rather bull
ish. The market received a setback at the
outset from lower London cables, but the
effect on prices was only momentary, and
covering movement by the shorts caused
sharp advances all along the line, the in
dustrials being the more prominent. The
closing was strong in tone, with the list a
fraction higher in most cases.
Speculation during the week has been on
q moderate scale and in most cases the
transactions have been based on manipu-
lation by professionals on various more or
less flimsy pretexts. The event of the
week was the publication of the plan for
the rehabilitation of the great Northern
Pacific system. The mortgages of the
company were heavily dealt in early in the
week and scored sharp improvement
which was most pronounced in the consoli-
dated fives. Toward the close, however.
most of the gains were lost, with the thirds
close of the previous week. Exchange was
heavy, but lack OF inquiry was the chief
cause of that condition.
Time funds improved to five per cent,
ranging up to six months. but the volume
of business was only moderate and toward
the close lenders we're less exacting as to
the quality of the collateral. Despite the
increase in the treasury gold reserve to
above $12S,OOO,OOO and the sharp in
creases in railroad earnings, notably by the
St. Paul, apprehension as to the mercan-
tile situation in connection with the keen
discrimination in commercial paper by
money lenders disposed buyers to the short
side. Another unfavorable influence was
the succession of disturbing political re-
ports from Europe. A few stocks were at
tackled on account of the special trade con-
ditions. Sugar was helped by favorable
trade reports and by the action OF the Ger
man legislature on the sugar bounty ques-
ton. The closing dealings of the week
were marked by degree of firmness, and
by general recoveries from the extremely
low point. Railroad bonds today closed
slightly lower. Sales S5S3,OOO. For the
week bonds are generally lower. The ag-
gregate dealings were $9,656,O0O. The
Northern Pacific issues we're the chief fea-
lures and in them early advances we're sue
ceeded in cases by net losses. The thirds
were exceptionally heavy, reacting per
cent to 74H. Governments were firm on

CHICAGO MARKET
The Days Transactions on the Board q
Trade

The Days Transactions on the Board Of
CHICAGO, March 21.-In wheat there
was a good trade and moderately active
market. the features being the active and
heavy covering by shorts. The market
was rather excited for a time and sold up
fully one cent but lost part of the advance
before the close. Opening prices for May
were at slight decline due to the light ex.
ports shipped from both coasts for the
week, only 1,592,OOO bushels against 2 :
4Ol 900 bushels the week before, and q
9S8, 900 bushels the same week last year.
This showing had depressing effect for
the moment and there was enough selling
in it to carry prices off trifle. But the
predictions of cold wave, tho arrival of a
good many bad crop reports and the rather
sensational publications of that character
in morning paper soon turned the senti-
ment. There was active covering by shorts.
The political situation abroad was also re-
ported as increasing. in gravity and
this increased the desire Of shorts TO
cover ana the market hau I. season OF de-
cided strength. But after the most urgent
shorts had covered, trade fell off and then
early buyers began to realize. There was
also considerable short selling under which
the gain was lost. The Argentine ship
