NEW YORK, March 21.-Outside of the
continued manipulation of American To-
bacco. and the strength Of Chicago Gas.
there was no change in the speculative con-
ditions that have obtained for the past
month. The street is now talking OF lit
tie else than the commercial situation and
attributes the dullness in stocks and sag
cling prices to IT.
In view Of the prevailing apathy II is
plainly no time to bull stocks. at the same
time as the wedding out of weak concerns
is the result of past events it is obviously
unwfse to get bearish. 1t is plainly a wait
ing situation, which may be improved as
the weather becomes more seasonable, and
the dissolution of a campaign year" Con-
gress approaches and is plainly a time to
exercise patience and discrimination.
The weekly statement of the associated
banks shows to an extent the transfer this
week of four and one-half millions OF gov
eminent special deposits from the banks To
the subtreasury.
The transaction is not fully reflected as
the bulk Of the money was not paid In
until the last two days of the week The
decrease of $2.5O0OO0 in reserve brings that
item down to about $19OO0o0O as against

gagged in household duties, but she

Opinion of Blackbnrnc. the English Cham

Mr.. Dlackburnc, the English chess
champion, regards the game as dan
gerous intellectual vice, which is
spreading to rather an alarming extent.
Discussing the matter he said: II know
q lot of people who hold the view that
chess is an excellent means of training
the mind in logic and shrewd calcula-
ton, provision and caution. But
don't find these qualities reflected in the
lives Of chess players. They arc just as
fallible and foolish as other folk who
don't know a rock from pawn. But
even if it were form Of mental dis
cipline, which l doubt, l should still
object to it on the ground of it's fatal
fascination. Chess is kind of mental
alcohol. 1t inebriates the man who
plays it constantly. lie lives in chess
atmosphere, and his dreams are of
gambits and the end of games. have
known many an able man ruined by
chess. The game has charmed him,
and, as consequence, he has given up
everything to the charmer. No, unless
man has supreme self-control, it is
better that he should not learn to play
chess have never allowed my chill
dren to learn, for have seen too much
of its evil results. Draughts is better
