The Dealings in Wall Street Lacking
in Animation.
New York. April 2s.-The market for
stocks was lacking in animation today,
and sank at times into a condition OF
unqualified dizziness. although evidences
Of ilrmness and strength were not lack.
ing, and the small net decline was due
rather TO the sympathetic effect of tho
manipulation by the bears of special
stocks than 10 anything in the general
situation. Perhaps the dullness was in
some small part due to the Inauguration
OF the gold export movement today first
generally admitted to be due to normal
causes growing out Of the trade situation.

When gentleman Of integrity like Mr..
j. Harry Hoffecker, makes a statement
that two members Of the General Assem-
bly,lwhile conversing with him in mis- Of
h'e in relation to the application for the
divorce of Mrs. Mary s. White Cause
from her husband, h. Victor Cause, made
a demand for certain sum of money to
insure its favorable passage by the Legls.
lature, 1t is time an Investigation was
made. The members of that body owe it
to themselves as well as their constituents
to clear themselves of such o damaging
charge against their integrity and charac.
ter. MIR. Short who poses as one of the
leaders with clean hands, should insist
that an investigation takes place, and at
once. Delays are dangerous and every
man GU the divorce committee will be
looked upon with suspicion until this
charge is cleared up. The application for
the divorce has been Withdrawn from the
Legislature and will come up before the
court in our city. The charges have been
made frequently Of late, that Doodle has
had to be used If the parties who had the
money wished to procure favorable re.
port on their divorce pending before the
General Assembly. Where there is SO
much smoke there must be some fire. An
Investigation is demanded by the people
who sent these men TO Dover to represent
them and not to misrepresent them. The
sooner an investigation is ordered, the
batter for evpru ynap cDncornad In
Legislature has been called strike"
Legislature and Doodle one, and if Mr..
Hofecker's charges can DC sustained, the
parties should be prosecuted and lose their
seats in that body.
The silver Democrats and disappointed
II 'pubicans are talking about launching
fusion ticket in the field at the coming
city election. Such ticket, it is thought
would sweep the city and capture every

good thinking voters who have become
Tired OF blindly following leaders who
only want their votes on election day and

well known man, when the people should

govern our city, instead Of dong all the
voting Oh election day. A fusion ticket

Paris, New York, Calcutta, Toxic and
Shanghai for series of years, and of
course these are far below the average
rates. Prof. Fisher finds that the aver
age bank rate of interest from 1875 to
1879 was 3.S per cent. in the four gold
standard countries and 10.1 per cent.
in the three silver standard countries.
In silver standard countries the rate
had fallen but little, the average for
1904 being 1917 per cent. In gold
standard countries the rate had fallen
over 25 per cent, or from SO in 1904.
These facts tend to show that there is
some good reason why interest is
lower in gold standard countries. They
are confirmed by the further facts that
many large loans and some small ones
made in silver standard countries are
made payable in gold and at rates of in
terst far below those prevailing. One of
the alleged reasons why Japan has
changed from silver to gold basis is
to obtain lower rates of interest on
loans which she wished to negotiate.
There is more in this subject of cheap
