CLOSING PRICES OF BOSTON STOCKS.
Friday. March 26-p. N.

Considerable confusion OF opinion still exists
over the probable outcome Of the recent Supreme
Court decision as regards the future OF railroad
traffic associations. and although calmer view
is being taken of the situation there Is litte dis
position among the customers or Stock Exchange
houses TO resume the active trading whlch the
Transr,issouri decision so suddenly interrupted.
To-day's market like that OF yesterday, reflected
the absence of outside dealings and the hes
itancy Of professional traders to operate extern
sively for lower prices the general course OF
business showing much irregularity and small
operations conducted within narrowed price
variations The pressure Of liquidation by fright.

into dulness without noteworthy movements or
change in values. The opening to-day was weak.
and small declines followed. but subsequently

partial recoveries were made last prices in the
majority OF stocks showing fractional net losses.
About one-half OF the total dealings were done
in Sugar Refining. American Tobacco, Burling-
ton and St. Paul, while elsewhere the principal
activity was in Jersey Central Omaha. Chicago
Gas Reading New-York Central and Louisville
and Nashville. The last-named stock WAS strong
on the good showing made by the company for The
third week in March, its gross earnings having
increased S25l10 as compared with the same
week year ago. The Southern Railway for the
third week gave increase OF SlS3l3 Sugar
Refining declined about H. per cent as a result
OF the contemplated trade opposition in Brook.

and American Tobacco on heavy sales lost IN

to-day. and the recent purchases for foreign ac-
count were reflected in an easier foreign ex-
change market due directly 10 an increased sup
ply OF security bills. Although the stock market
has fallen into disfavor with the public in the
last days. there is little reason TO suppose
that n long period OF dulness has begun. The

The women of the Methodist church
out in Nebraska and Kansas seem in
clined to visit on the Lord the sins of
their male associates in the church.
The men have refused the women re-
presentation and the women meet and
resolve to strike all church work I'M
til they get recognition. This may be
right as far as the clergy of the church
are concerned and the male members,
but how is it going to strike the
Great Head of the Church, the Lord
Jesus Christ himself? That might be
a resolution that would meet the wo-
men unpleasantly when they stand in
the judgment.

Uncle Sam has been monkeying so
long over that Nicaraguan business
that the lil,Ig state seems to have
grown disguised and taken steps to
grant a concession to British parties
to navigate the San Juan river and
build railway along its course. Mic
aragua is a little premature as the
Nicaragua Canal company has not yet
voided its rights, it's days of grace not
having expired and the prospect be-
ing good for the necessary action be-
ing taken by the United States Con-
gress.

Secretary of agriculture under Cleye-
land Morton, is telling the farmers of
his section that if they will mix brains
with their seeds in farming they will
raise bigger crops. The farmers al
over the country are putting more
brains into their work and calculations
every year. The work of the agricul-
tural colleges and the experiment sta
tions is aiding them in this, and the
young blood that goes onto the farm
straight from the agricultural colleges
and experimental school, goes there
with ideas of the nature of soils and
their needs that will prove advanta-
geous. The farms of this country
are being more and more intelligently
cultivated each year and pay better.

In unearthing some freight car rob-
bers in Georgia conspiracy of huge
proportions has been brought to light,
involving prominent merchants of Dali
ton. The whole matter has been COM
pletely uncovered by the spies en-
ployed who became members of the
gang, and so acquainted with the bot
tom facts. Merchants received the
stolen goods that were thrown out on
the road by the robbers who entered
the cars, and thus it was impossible to
trace the goods to where they were
disposed of. 1t is thought that over
100000 of merchandise had been stolen
during the years that the gang has
