Compressed Air Locomotives

Messrs. II. X. Porter & Co., Pittsburg
have recently conducted series of ex-
periments upon one of their compressed
air locomotives to determine the rela-
tive efficiency of working with hot and
with cold air. The results showed that
when the reheater was used a much
greater amount of work was performed
"a gain of 1854 per cent in pounds of air
used in one test, and All per cent in an
other. 1t is calculated that If the water
for reheatlng had been heated to $50
degrees instead of 23s and 800 degrees in
the the two tests respectively, the gain
would have been from 40 to 81 per cent
over the showing made by cold air. The
tests were made on locomotive for the

The Stock Market

NEW YORK, April 9.--8radstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say: AL
though the market has been a profess
efonal one, and at the beginning Of the
week exhibited further heaviness, the
covering of shorts on an extensive
scale set in on Wednesday and carried
prices in many instances 10 considera-
bly, better level. The movement was not
attended by any very striking news, but
would seem to be the result of over-sell-
ing by the professional traders and their
allies. The fact that the railroads did
not justify the hopes of the bears in re-
gard to their action upon the trans
Missouri decision, and have studiously
refrained from inaugurating a rate war.
was OF course an important factor in
this connection, and 1t may also be OBJ
served that except in few stocks, like
Jersey Central, where special reasons for
liquidation existed, no large volume OF
investment stock came upon the market
during the recent declines. Loosely held
long etockrwas, however, forced out, but
II IS now evident that the short selling
was upon . II uch more extensive scale
than had been supposed, and as further
unfavorable velopments seemed far
oft, uneasiness IN the part OF the profess
eionals caused 4 general desire to close
their contract IN the bear side, but this
disposition has doubtless been accelera-
ted by manipulation on the part OF some
leaders of the bears, and 1t may be re-
marked that the commission house buy

In the market, has been lacking. The

NEW YORK, April 9.-The Evening

The stock markets continued good today
on cheaper money. Gilt edged stocks were
naturally the best and were most affected
by the change in the bank rate, the specu-
latve markets being dampened by the ap-
proach of Easter, TO say nothing of the un-
settled political situation. The settlement
has been satisfactorily concluded. Ameri-
cans were good but the close was under the
best. There was some disposition by those
who bought Americans just after the elec-
tions to realize as soon as they can get a
fair profit. Canadian Pacifics are bid for
in the street. About f200,000 in gold from
the Cape has been bought for Japan and

CHICAGO MARKETS
The Days Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, April e.-Liverpool disap-
pointed the wheat traders at the opening
by quoting a decline of I'D per GENITAL in
derision of Chicago's tip the day before
that the decline had gone far enough. That
causing starting prices here to show from
"a to u cents per bushel lower. May COM
menced at 66ss this morning and July at
65zs to 66B For about twenty minutes the
tendency was downward, until at 66. the
price for both months came together. That
amalgamation of the quotation did not last
over two or three minutes, however, and
when they separated 1t was found that July
had changed places with May, inasmuch
as during an advance of cent per bushel In
May, which began after touching 66 cents,
it led July by little over ss for when May
touched 81, July could not be sold for more
than 66ik to 66ss. The highest quotations
referred to were made at II 80 and by II 40
the prices were down again to 66as for May
and 66 for July. The advance was caused
by fresh batch of Kansas crop damage
reports and the. strength of the st. Louis
Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were ss4
cars against 2S9 last week and the same
number last year. About IL o'clock stam-
pede of holders commenced. which in fif-
teen minutes tumbled the price of May to
64h. Closing cables were no weaker than
those received earlier in the day and the
only cause for the fresh break. which
threw everything INTO demoralization l
ing which a market SO devoid of support
from outside speculatioS displayed. Clos
ing prices for May were 647s and for July
64la. The latter sold as low as 64as Corn
ruled weak. offerings to arrive being lib
eral and demand rather slack. Shorts were
good sellers of oats and with the assistance
Of heavy liquidation by the long element
