After some indecision yesterday in the
stock market, with views both ways to
influence the tone OF speculation, there
were declines and general weakness.
Prices went down in all the important
stocks and in some of them more than
fractionally. Tobacco was the only ex-
ception. London sold heavily and demor-
alization in that center was plainly in
dicated by the sharp break in consols.
The Supreme Court handed down its deci-
sion in the Joint Traffic case against the
railroads and this. of course also had
its bear influence. Under the stimulus of
these two factors the bears in the after
noon began a determined raid, and with
some success. Indeed, it Is somewhat
surprising that they did not hurt prices
more than they did. The market was dull
despite the declines. which did not seem
TO interest the general public in the least.
There is nothing in the days business to
promise good or bad things in the mar
ket today, and for the remainder of the
week both bulls and bears are confident.

quent and very positive rumors that the
decision would be handed down. Yester
day the papers said nothing about-it, nor
the market prophets. For this reason, if
for no other. the street expected the de-
cision. When it came il was disappoint-

expectation of many, even of the friends
of the road principally involved, that the
decision would be adverse. 1t is doubtful
If there will be any further weakness in
the market as a result of the decision.
Some people even are inclined to expect a
reaction. AS stated in The Times yester-
! day, the decision reverses the findings of
the lower court, upholds the antitrust
law, and decides that the Joint Traffic
Association is unconstitutional. The case
is very similar to the Trans-Missouri case.

Enough to Go Around,

Editor National Tribune: noticed whilo
on our march through the Southern
States that the boys, although they had
enough to eat and drink, would always
make a grand rush for anything new.
They seemed determined to have their
share of whatever was going, good or bad,
as the following incident viii illustrate.
One day in Georgia we came to house

We saw quite a crowd collected around
an open barrel standing in an old out

who only do lace during the long Winter
days; in the Summer they labor In the fields
all day long, and when Winter comes,
and covers the fields with snow, their great,
rough hands rest from the hoe, the sickle and
the sheaf, and weave the threads back and
forth in these dreamy, fowery mazes And
here one finds in the hands of these women,

hold nothing else than heavy toll, this fabric

hundreds of happy girls whose lives mean

her coarse blue apron and her clean handker-

was pretty independent, saucy girl, whose

ready to be as socable as you please.
Perhaps we were taking the world too
seriously, but her ideas of travelling were
sometimes startling. She asked US if we had
been to the picture gallery, and on our mega
tive reply expressed so much disappointment
that we thought we had discovered some
reason for her being over there-that she was
artistic, perhaps painted or studied pictures.
We had read of the Rubens masterpieces
here and of the Van Dyclls, and we're rather

enough: "Oh, its a grand gallery. You ought

THE BATTLE-GROUND.

Malvern Hill is an elevated plateau,
about mile and a half by three -fourths
OF mile in area. nearly cleared of timber,
and with several converging roads run
ming over it. In front there are numerous
ravines. The ground slopes gradually to-
ward the northeast to the wooded plain
beyond, giving clear ranges for artillery in
different directions.
The batteries were advantageously post
ed on those hills, while the reserve troops
were sheltered as much as possible by the
ravines. The artillery of the reserve was
placed in position as to bring the con-
centrated fire OF 90 guns to bear upon the
enemy's front and left, approaching from
Richmond or White Oak Swamp.
