The World of Business

Business was brisk and prices strong on
Wall street yesterday. The fine steady adj
vanees were enough to remind one that the
Mckinley boom is some time overdue For
the moment everything was favorable to
the bulls, and they got the best OF the ar
gument, quite considerably, even receiving
toward the last OF the session much help
from deserters from the bear ranks. As was
pointed out in this column two days ago,
and as the traders are now beginning to
realize, the Cretan war scare, as far us it
will have any effect on American securi-
ties is very small affair. The powers
all seem to be on the side of Greece in the
trouble, and they will not allow war. 1t
should be remembered every day now and
every hour that the Inauguration is near
and that the market is sure TO rally, some
what discounting the changing OF admin
istration. As has also been pointed out
two or three times here, the Lexow In
yestigation is really sworn-to bull argu-
ment. 1t seems preposterouS that traders
should have sold Sugar on this investiga-
ton, which in its every step has shown the
sugar trust such money maker Other
factors which helped along the advancing
| prices yesterday were the recovery or the
| steel rail market both In tone and prices,
| with such remarkable readiness, and the
| continuing good reports from the railroads.
| Railway stocks advanced moderately and
were firm throughout, IL good demand
| prevailing for the high-priced issues. Lake
| Shore rose 5-S to1 54 3S. odd lots of New
| York, New Haven and Hartford brought
| TO The Grangers were strong through
| out the day, Burlington showing a net
| advance of 2, and st. Paul an advance
| of 5-S The report of st. Paul was ex-
/ pected to be excellent, and everything
pointed to this st. Paul and burlington
/ are surely two of the stocks that ought
| to be bought.
/ Sugar was again the leader of the mar
| ket, not only in the amount OF business
done, but in its fine rally from recent
| lower prices. 1t is said by good many
| now that Sugar is going back to the prices
/ prior TO the Lexow investigation, and
| that 8 should be reached this week.
| In addition to the general decay OF be-
| lief that the Lexow investigation will hurt
the sugar company there was rumor
| during the day that the decision OF the
| Wilson-Arbuckle case would be in favor
of the sugar people.
| The belief is gaining ground that the
tariff bin will deal lightly with the sugar
| company Why, say the traders, who
usually know what they are talking about
| should a Republican administration want
to jump on such large business enter
! prise as the Sugar Trust? Why should one
Of it's first acts be destructive rather than
building up? Sugar started at 112 yester
day, went up to ia 5-S and closed strong
at ia 3-S, showing the best advance of
the day, 3-e. The whole course of the
stock was such as to indicate that the adj
kSance will be continued today and tomor-

was ascribed to them in large measure.

on the 10th. As a rule, the stock is sent
up by the Havemeyers to around 120 at
the time the dividend is declared. Fifty
Thousand shares changed hands yester-
day. 1t may be remembered that from
yesterday morning this column made the
suggestion that indications pointed to a
rise yesterday in Sugar and to decline in
the other industriais. This program sug-
gested by me was carried out TO the letter
by the gentlemen on the stock exchange.
Tobacco Leather and Gas were all weak
during the morning, but rallied later in

Probably the most interesting feature

in these schoolhouses that the great

create ideas, which control behav-

Of and spent most Of his spare time
In preeuing, and he was beginning
to think seriously Of trying his

Stillman of New York city was re-
porting a disturbance in Greece for
the London Times, report was sent
out that he had been beheaded. One
of his friends, hearing the report,
telegraphed to the correspondent
this message: "Rumor here that
your head has been taken off. Is it
true9" TWAS not until the message
had been sent that it occurred to the
sender that if the rumor were true
stillman would be the last man in
the world to speak about it. But the
message reached Stillman, and this
was his reply: "My dear boy, a
newspaper man never loses his

member Of parliament who is blessed

long since dead, used to repeat with
great good humor a story which
told against himself. During the
course of a recess he was delivering
an address to his constituents, and
in order to impress them with due
sense of his public services he en-
phasized the fact that in the last
session he had put to ministers more
than 800 questions. He paused to
study the effect of his statement,

Why Grant Never swore.
General Horace Porter, in his
Campaigning With Grant," in The
Century, says: While sitting with
him at the campfire late one night,
after every one else had gone to
bed, I said to him: General, 1t
seems singular that you have gone
through all the rough and tumble
Of army service and frontier life
and have never been provoked into
swearing. I have never heard you
utter an oath or use an impreca-
ton" "Well, somehow or other, I
never learned to swear, he replied.
when boy, I. seemed to have an
aversion to it, and when became
q man saw the folly Of it. have
always noticed, too, that swearing
helps to rouse mans anger, and
when a man flies into a passion his
adversary who keeps cool always
gets the better Of him. In fact, /
could never see the use Of swearing.
I think it is the case with many peo-
pie who swear excessively that it is
9 mere habit, and that they do not
mean to be profane. But, to say the
least, it Is q great waste Of time"
His example in this respect was
once quoted in my hearing by a
member Of the Christian commits
sion to teamster In the Army Of
the Potomac, in the hope Of lessen
ing the volume of rare oaths with
which he was italicizing his Ian
guage, and upon which he seemed
to be placing his main reliance in
moving his mule team out Of mud

Owing to deficiency in appro-
priations for expenses of United
States court, and there being no
funds for the pay Of jurors, the
notices to jurors for the May,
1897 term at Fargo, have been re-
called and there will be no term
held for the present. Court con-
vened, however on May 18, and
the term is held for the trial of
all court cases, until new appro-
priation for pay of jurors is availa-
Bile, at which time the jury will be
summoned.
The New York Press of May s
has an article entitled Fighting
with Reno the Little Big Horn. "
1t recounts the adventures of Pri-
vate Morris, who was with M
Troop, Capt. Thomas H. French.
The article has much to say of
DR.. Porter, who had so close an
escape in this fight, and it is en-
bellished with some hitherto un-
published pictures by Barry, the
celebrated photographer of In
dians, who resided at Bismarck
tor so many years.
A report from Lisbon says:
THE experiments under the
Campbell soil culture at the Sol
diers' Home here under the direc-
ton of Major McIlvaine were
very successful. A machine could
not be gotten over the river last
fall to do the threshing and the
results therefore were not known
until spring. The wheat yielded
2oA bushels, while adjoining fields
with ordinary culture only return
ed from 5 to z. The barley was
5oA, while the old method re-
turned only from 13 to Is. The
dent corn yielded IS bushels per
acre and the flint 80. Potatoes
were from 50 to IS per cent bet
ter under the new system. The
garden produced great results, the
sugar beets yielded at the rate of
10000 per acre. The additional
expense of working the ground
under this method, which consists
of sowing the grain wide apart in
drills and cultivating the surface
lightly and frequently, was found
both at Lisbon and Dawson to be
but o5 cents an acre, computing
the services of man and four
horses at 50 day and man and
two horses at So a day."
