FAMOUS HOTEL GONE.

Guilford, April 2.-The Guilford Point
house, one of the largest and best
known summer hotels in this vicinity,
was destroyed by fire last night, caus-
ing loss OF $1,000. The fire department
succeeded In saving. the surrounding
property. The hotel was owned by j.
M. Hunt and had been in the family for
nearly half a century. The fire started
on the floor where some painters had
been working. Mr.. Hunt carried an in
surance of $1,000 until few weeks ago,
when the protection was allowed to run
out.
The Guilford Point house was one of
the most noted hotels in Connecticut.
small boarding house was erected on
it's present site in the year 1897, by a
North Guilford man. He kept dozen
boarders, and finally in 1917, the house
was enlarged, and become popular re-
sort. In 1874 Robert Hunt took charge
of it and moved the buildings back to
where they stood until recently. The
present management commenced in
1870 when James A. Hunt became land
lord. The hotel was a long, wooden,
two story structure, painted white and
of ancient design.

NOTES OF THE MAhKETS.

Mr., Thomas H. Bolmer of Prince &
Whitley, New York, brother Of C. B.
Bolmer, New Haven manager for the
firm, said yesterday, as quoted in the
New York Times, that stocks should
have a small rally especially in those
that have been notably weak, and prob
ably the short interest in some stocks
predicated a further advance. There
was nothing in sight, however, at pres
ent, to assure that stocks If put up
would stay up, or rather that the adj
vance would hold-not for another
month at least. General conditions are
none too good. Much hinges on the
coal stocks, and especially on how New
Jersey Central acts on it's dividend
question Proceeding Mr.. Bolmer said:
The supreme court decision in the
Trans-Missouri matter is, to my mind,
an extremely bad factor. The decision
has been handed down, and it must be
accepted as the law of the land. l be-
lieve its bad influence will be felt
throughout business circles until we
have some modification of it by con-
gress. The fact that it affects not on
ly the railroad interests of the country,
but also industrial corporations, gives
it an even more important bearing on
the general situation.
Il believe firmly in the Improvement
which is to come, and feel confident
that the future will bring with it a
substantial upward movement in Sc
curities. But there are numerous tenn
porary influences to oppose any such
betterment, and until they are out Of
the way we may have to wait"

crop reports from Russia and reports
of an advance in wheat of marks at
Berlin at the close helped to stimulate
the market, and, after a slight hesita-
ton at the opening, prices advanced
and closed firm at half cent above last
nights closing quotations.

was steady, with gains In the grangers

| Mr. Morgan's arrival at London was
cabled to this side, and his presence
there, together with President Hill of
the Great Northern, Mr.. Siemans of
the Deutche bank Of Berlin, and a
representative of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
created an impression that some kind
| of deal in connection with Northern
| Pacific and the question of refunding
| the bonds of the New York Central and
Michigan Central railroads was on the
| tapis, and the bull interest took advan-
tage of it to bid up prices. The foreign
situation remains in statu quo.

Et1ramcIaI.
Stocks Were in the Main Firm Yesterday,
and Some Gains Were Made.

and Some Gains Were Made.
New York, April 2.-Stocks in the
main were firm to-day and at intervals
the market was inclined to heaviness
on sales by the chronic bears, but at the
end of the session the usually active is
sues show gains of 14@1ss per cent. on
the day. Delaware and Hudson, Jersey
Central and Leather preferred were
exceptions and closed with losses rang
ing from * to n per cent
The Improvement In the market was
due to a desire on the part of recent sell
ers to accept profits rather than to any
material changebin the situation. Re-
ports of the arrival of prominent Amer
lean bankers and railway men in Lon
don, including J. Pierpont Morgan and
President Hill of the Great Northern
appeared to disconcert the bear leaders,
especially as there were rumors of i'm
portant deals pending.
1t was said that Morgan would take
up the New York Central funding
scheme at once and that the meeting of
the representatives of the Northern Pa
cific Great Northern Deutsohd bank
interests was for the purpose of bring
ing about a close working arrangement
between the roads traversing the Pa
ciflc Northwest.
| The anthracite coalers were benefited
| by official statements that the Jersey
Central will not pass it's dividend. A
meeting of the directors Is looked for
early next week, when the matter will
| be decided. Western Union was also
influenced by dividend rumors. The
stock early In the day broke to 80, but
later recovered the greater part of the
| loss. Director Sage was quoted as say
| ing that If business does not improve
considerably he will certainly favor a
reduction in the dividend rate to
per cent. basis.
The grangers, Northern Pacific pre-
ferred the Vanderbilts and American
Spirits preferred showed the greatest
| recuperative ability. Northern Pacific
preferred rose to 81 and American
Spirits preferred 81 to 33.
