= The market orened mp with a vim this
morning that argued well for future prices,
md showed that the bulls had not been fright
ened from the field by the bear attacks Of
yesterday.
London certainly gave no evidence OF any
terrible war scare. Consols Were only OF o-o
per cent, as compared with last Thursday
close, and were 3-6 per cent bighsr than they
were on February 22. when war was fret
suggested, and the significance of this
must be patent TO all. American rails were
firm TO buoyant today. st. Paul showed an
advance Of Ia per cent and Louisville gain
Of IL per cent. while the other issues We're
fractiOnally higher. The New York foreign
houses had buying orders for about 1900
shares Of the active stocks
In speaking Of the war rumors, f. J.
knight a Co. snid today
why war between Greece and Turkey,
in which there is comparatively little danger
that other big nations should become engaged,
should make IL impossible for the foreigners
20 continue 10 hold our securities is mystery
that no one seems able TO explain. IL the
trader would substitute thought tor impulse
be would see that a war between such distant
countries could only work for our benefit. \
war in Europe means that our products will
be more demand, and the greater tho war
the better IL will 10 for our production. -
The market judges seem TO feel very bullish
i'm regard TO tho various stocks. 81 IS said
that there is new deal pending In General
Electric that will put IL many dollars above
tho present price and IL is believed that Pa
cihc B all viii show better profits than any OF
tho iow-priced stocks. It's annual meeting
will be held in few weeks. ana m the mean
time the stock win sell much higher.
Ii IS stated that Louisville Ia another excel.
lent property. London was "A fairly heavy
buyer today, and there was very little pres
sure TO sell the stock. The condition Of the
property Is very different TO what il was
stands better today than at any time since

Joseph is very confident that ST. Paul has a
great future before it. He says: 1T is "A

Oficials Of the road, men whose words can be
reiied upon, evince no anxiety, and right
here il mny be said that the directors individ-
ually and collectively hold more stock than
they have held at any time in flour years.
This does not look as If St. Paul had anything

Kelley Tells the Story Of
the StiCkney Murder.
Says That He Didn't Intend
TO Kill Cashier at First.
As he Appeared TO Regain Con-
sciOusness Kelley Used Knife.

Boston, April 20. "A special from Mon
treal says-Joseph Kelley confessed this
morning. Chief Carpenter and Detective
Cole were present
1t appears that this morning while talk
ing with Cole he said In sort of ques-
tlOninR manner that he thought IL would
bo probably best for him 20 tell all he
knew and asked To see Chief Carpenter
When the latter came To see him he told
the chief that IL was no use hiding any
thing, that the jig was up and that the
best thing he could do was Co take his
medicine like a man and stand up 10 IL.
The confession was that he did murder
Stickney and robbed the bank all by
himself. He vehcmently insisted, however,
that he had no intention whatever OF kill
ing the cashier, but that he had TO do it
because the old gentleman recognized
him. He really thought that he had
killed him with the blows on the head but
when he threatened To regain conscious
ness he slashed him with the knife. These
were not his exact words bat his confession
was 10 this effect as far as the central
Office men could tell IL.
Kelley Is the coolest man that has ever
hecn seen in Montreal under similar cir
cumstances. He was smoking cigars and
talking rs calmly and unconcernedly rs If
he was in his own room. Before retiring
he asked for something 10 eat and half u
dozen sandwiches and some coffee were
provided. He ate about three Of the
sandwiches, drank two cups of coffee and
went calmly To sleep.
