New York. April 6.-There was 1ufther

and in the absence OF support found llttie
difriculty in bringing about lower prices.
Jersey Central started off well and rose
70 Within a fraction of as. Later, under
beor sales. the stock dropped TO 40 Ia, the
decline being accelerated by adyices that
,he PENNSYLVANIA legislature would m
vastiuate the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal
Comnany, leased by the first named. Lack
awanua. on moderate sales, fell to 40 rs,
and Reading declined to 20 S-S.

Bradstreets this week has an article
comparing the decline in stock values which
has followed the announcement of the Su-
preIne Court s decision in the trans-AlissOuri
case, with the blow which the market re-
ceived from the Venezuela message. In
both cases the market had no expectation
of the trouble and was i'll prepared to sus-
tain the blow. In both cases liquidation
OF speculative holdings, supplemented the
positive effort of bear opeatOrs TO produce
a low range OF stock values The Vene-
Zuela decentralization amounted TO panic.
OF soine thirty OF the more active trad
ing stocks the decline between December
Is and December 21, 1895, was anaverage
of fully nine points. The quotations for
the same securities dropped on account Of
the Supreme Court decision only about an
average of three points. The Supreme
Court decision has given bad setback to
all speculative interests, and leaves the
bull side without adequate support AT
the same time neither the actual decline
nor the resulting condition in the market
at large can be compared To the Venezuelan
complication.

The mississippi Levees.

To the Editor of The Times:
Year after year the public are treated
to feast of suffering from floods and
foundations along the Mississippi. Why
have not the different States adjacent To
this river appropriated each legislative
session funds for building and strengthen
ing the leveeS in such a manner that
when the rains descended and the floods
came cinhabitants would dwell in safety?
But these States have ever waited, like
the foolish man, and then appealed to
the General Government for aid and re-
lief There are thousands of unemployed
workmen who would each year gladly in
the winter season labor upon such Ievees,
and from st. Louis to New Orleans the
banks would rise above the danger level,
and the planting of trees and culture Of
grasses would in few years make them
not only safe, but beautiful TO look Upon.
All such labor should be systematic and
under the control OF levee board that
should be required to make to the governor
an annual report on or before the lst day
of January of each year. By so doing
the levees would be kept perfectly safe
and all good people laugh instead Of cry
when the Father of Waters RACES.

The Plumbers Trade.
Editor of The Times

To the Editor of The Times:
III a recent edition OF The Times. under
the heading, Far reaching in Effect,
the following occurs; The Plumbers
Union OF Washington Will permit only a
limited number of apprentices TO learn the
trade. A man | know, himself a plumber,
desired me TO aid him in securing posi-
ton under the Government for his son, /
said: Why doa I you make him a plIHuber?
He will 30 better in the end the father
replied: i can't make him plumber, for
the union will not permit IL. These
remarks were made by ex-senator Ed
munos, in speaking OF the recent decision
OF the Supreme Court in regard To trusts.
An assertion OF this kind, coming from
such an eminent authority as ex-senator
Edmuuds. will no doubt receive great at
tention. and it is only just that the pub
lie, as wen as ex-senator Edmunds. who
has, no doubt, been imposed upon, should
know that the above statement is false
in every particular. As an employing
plumber, as well as a member OF the
Master Plumbers Association Snf this
city, | deny that there is any law pro-
hibiting, or in any manner restricting, the
learning of the plumbing trade, or the hir'
ing of apprentices The plumber from time
immeinOrial has been the butt OF the
newspaper Jokes, and the public gener-
ally are ever ready 10 believe anything
of him that may appear in the press.
Now, wish to say that while we always
en- JOY joke, even at our expense, and are
often met with assertions and remarks that
IL directed against any but plumber
would cali forth a vigorous protest, we
cannot allow such statement as the
above to go uncontradicted.
Yours, respectfully,
WILLIAM KOCH,
President. Master Plumbers Association.

A Correction by Mrs. Jones.

At the request of Mrs. Norma W. Jones
we cheerfully make the following coTrec-
tion in our notice of her answer and cross
bill. which appeared in our issue of April
6. The date on which Mr.. Wills came TO
this city from Lynchburg. Va, was the
fall of 1881 instead of 1851, as erroneously
stated. She also states that the arrange
ment that he should get all OF the mail
in the old cases of W. II Wills & Go. was
never satisfactory to her, and thati was
she who became so dissatisfied at last
that she gave the order to withhold il
which resulted i n this suit and the ap
pointment of receivers.
