ON 'CHANGE
Business Transacted and Prices Paid at Home
and Abroad

New YORK, March Increased ac-
tivity and higher range of prices occurred
in today's stock market. The dealings.
while to large extent professional, were
widely distributed, and more cheerful
temper was dscernible in financial cir
cles, despite further advance in the ex-
change market. Tho interest of the trad
ers, as usual of late, appeared to hinge
more on industrials than the railway
shares, but some of the railroad stocks
recorded fairly large totals. Some OF the
usually inactive railway stocks loomed
into prominence, notably Wabash pre- :
ferred and Atchison preferred. Little or no
stress was laid upon the gold export
probabilities, and the grangers were ad-
vanced on the theory of freer movement
of the crops in the near future. Influence
of special character operated to cause adj
vances in various shares. Sugar improved
134 on an advance in practically all grades
OF the refined product. The advances in
the general list were substantial. At the
top level Atchison preferred figured for
~. In the late dealings general realiz-
ing movement occurred, which cause an
easier tone at the close and led to recess
sions. Railway bonds were strong and
higher on transactions of 81 .252 900. The
Atchison issues were the leaders in activ
ity and strength, the four trust receipts
rose &c, the Atchson seconds n and Atch-
ison adjustment fours 2T per cent. Gov
ernment bonds we're firm on moderate
business. The sales were $7S 900.

pendent for the most part on agriculture
for it's prosperity. With the sharp compe-
tition existing for the breadstlffs trade of

profits. This state may, therefore. be con-
sidered very happy in it's adaptibility to
horticulture. Ten acres of fruit are easily
worth as much as 100 to 200 acres of
wheat, barley or corn. In this state no
section has prospered in the last five or six

CHICAGO. March. 31.-Fine spring
weather has depressing effect on wheat
today. There was fair trade early, after
which the market became rather quiet. the
range for the das being &c. The early
tone was rather firm and while higher
prices ruled, but did not hold. &c decline
following, after which 1S@Hc rally took
place, the close being gave loss. The
early firmness was due i'll a measure to
small weekly worlds shipments, only
5,7S2,0 bushels. against 6,744,000
bushels for the same time year ago and
estimated weekly requirements of 7,SOO,-
600 bushels. There were also reports that
the California crop had been damaged by
blight. Northwestern receipts too were
small compared with last week, and had
some influence. The out-inspection
made good showing and aided the early
strength. The signal service prediction
of cold wave for parts oi:the winter wheat
belt also had some influence on values.
With the advance there was rather free
offering and prices receded. Cables came
easier and outside markets ruled easy, and
then the cash business was of smaller pro-
portions than OF late. due principally to
the premiums. A prominent floor trade
sold freely, and in the absence of any out
side support prices sagged down. New
York reported that there was no export

Provisions particularly had some effect on
wheat. Corn was no more active or the
trade of more interest today than it has
been for 80 long. There was some activi y
in the oats market but the selling was
largely by professionals and the buying
scattered. The close showed very little
change from yesterdays final quotations.
Provisions were again very weak, with
longs the principal sellers and shorts about
the only buyers.

nearly all of which California may fur

PERSONALS IN WAsHINGToN.-Al let
ter from Washington says: In the last
week or two there have been more than
the usual number of personal" affairs
between persons prominent in public
life or in society. During the season"
it is cold week when one or more Of
these little incidents do not occur, but
by great good fortune for those concern
ed it is generally managed some way or
other to keep the knowledge of what
has happened confined to very limit
cd circle. Those which possess extra
emotional features will, however, get
out sooner or later. Not very long
since Senator, prominent in every
way and of abundant means, was
plumply denounced in a private poker
game for cheating, charge which he
did not resent.
Tuesday night, in a fashionable up
town hostelry, a lot of so-called society
swells engaged in a free fight, which
assumed such proportions as to require
a force of police to suppress it. Instead
of the participants being carried to the
station house, they were allowed to go,
because it was said some of them were
members of the diplomatic corps. 1t is
said, and without doubt correctly, that
in no capital in the world do attaches
of the diplomatic corps presume so
much upon their exclusive privileges
as they do in Washington. This ap-
plies, however, to the younger members
and very seldom to the heads. AT the
opera one of the former thought his
diplomatic function gave him the right
to stare and leer at handsome young
lady sitting near him, but her high
strung escort soon eflectually awakened
him from any such delusions.
