MARKETS AND STOCKS.


New York, March 19-Business at the
Stock Exchange today showed a material
falling off, the sales footing up only l1S,VW
shares. At the opening the tendency of
prices was upward with Sugar and the
gas stocks as the futures. The improve
ment in the leading stocks was equal TO
l4al per cent. After midday Jersey Cen
tral suddenly broke over three points.
The decline was attributed to rumors of
probable reduction in the dividend rate
at the meeting of the directors. The
Grangers, Omaha was inclined to weak
ness on realiZatiOns which is only natural
in view of the recent sharp advance in
the specialtes. Northern Pacific Pre-
ferred, Manhattan and Western Union
We're especially weak in the closing deal
ings. In the lndustrials, Sugar, after an
early advance, fell to ia. Leather broke
a couple of points, and the market closed

A CALL FOR TROOPS.
Officers Asked How They Would
Answer II.
Letters S:nt TO Adjutant General-Lieut.
AbbOtrS Explanation.

Recently Adj. Gen. Sackett sent let
ter to every company and field officer in
structing them to let him know by letter
before Dec l3 just !.what each would do
IL his company was ordered out at mid
night to report at the Newport arm DRY at
$3.50 tho next morning. The officers met
last night at Brigade Headquarters in the
Elizabeth building'l0i North Main street,
and the problem was explained and dis.
cussed and some OF the letters tnat hau
been received were read.
Adj. Gen. Sackett. who presided. said
that he was pleased with the replies he
had received anu the Interest shown in
the subject Lieut. Abbott OF the regular
army exclaimed the order and showed
how such an order might be necessarily
issued at any time, and said that IL was
essential That every man should know
lust what TO do in the emergency. He
recalled the DorT war; when troops were
suddenly anu Unexpectedly called out,
and the call for volunteers following the
attack on Fort Sumter, and only re-
Gently the fixing OF an indemnity on
Hayti by Germany, Internal GisseDtion,
as u riot, or invasion by an enemy from
the coast might be cause for calling out
tho troops.
The orders as sent out were much
briefer than they would be IL the troops
were called out for actual service. This
was purposely done so that the command
ing officers might show just what they
would do when thrown on their own re-
sources The order mentioned no means
of transportation as it was desired to see
how the officers would provide for it,
Gen. Saokett lead some OF the bost let
ters received, and some of them described
very minutelv every detail Of such an
emergency. About every letter selected
the railroad for transportation though in
the discussion a mum ber urged transpor-
tation by boat.
Lieut.. Abbott then told what ne
thought ought to be done.
lie spoke strongly OF the need of look
ing out for the safety OF the troops while
Oh route and favored the idsa Of having
each man provided with printed instruc-
tious SO that he would know exactly
what to do In case a call was made.

When Birdie nung the mistletoe
Upon the chandelier
She little thought that she should know
The pain of awful fear.
For Birdie is courageous, and
Fears no antagonist.
She knew she wouldn't raise hand
To keep from being kissed.
But awful fear did Birdie know,
A fear that sent chill
Through her whole beng and with woe
her anxious heart did fiji.
When Charlie called on Christmas day,
Her dread she haraly hid
That Charlie wouldn't see the spray,
And kiss her-but he did
