A GHOST MEETING.
Unique Demonstration at Salvation
barracks Last Night.


A ghost meeting held last evening at
Salvation Army headquarters was unique
and interesting II was the purpose of
Ensign bearing and those who assisted
him to so present 10 the audience the
power of faith and the evil effects of
sin as to be an object lesson to all who
saw and heard. In this the efforts of
the Salvationistst were eminently sue
Cessful The effect of the meeting was
Illustrated by the conduct of two young
ladies. When they arrived they were in
excellent spirits. When the tableau of
Death" was shown they broke down,
one bursting into tears, while the other
tried TO close her ears against the touch
ing words of What Shall the Judgment
Be?" which was sung with much feeling
by Mrs. Pebbles.
The other tableaux shown were
WASTED Years" Broken Vows, ="
Habits" Mothers Prayer and The
Eternal Sepulchre." All of these sub
jects were illustrated with Bible read
ings by Miss Fitzhugh and appropriate
songs and hymns sung by members of
the local Army corps Among those
Lewis, Cadet Andrews, Miss Bond, Mr..
| Oscar Schneider and Mr.. Smith, who ar
ranged the scenes.
The birthday Of Gen. Booth, which falls
on Sunday, will be celebrated with a
| pound party at the barracks on Monday
| evening.

ORDERED TO JAMAICA.
VIII Preserve Neutrality in Event of
Spnnish-Anerican War.

Halifax, y. s., April s.-A cable from
the war office in London today caused
CONSERVATION to the officers and men of
the First Battalion of the Royal Leinster
Regiment, which is quartered here. Their
orders are TO proceed to Jamaica, the
date fixed for their departure being the
5th Of May This unexpected order is TO
prevent the use of Jamaican ports as
base for affording assistance TO the Gu
bans, or in the case of war between the
United States and Spain TO prevent either
side awaiting itself of Jamaica for often
sive or defensive operations Of any kind.
It has been concluded by the British
government that affairs have become so
grave that II is judicious that the British
forces in Jamaica be more than doubled.
The Leinsters number 1000 men, while
that position Of the Berkshire Battalion
now in Jamaica comprises not more than
a couple of hundred, rank and file.
II the laws were violated by the af
fording Of help 10 either side from ia
maica, in case Of war between Spain and

New York, April S.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: A sensible quoting de-
mand for staple goods is perceptibie in
the various trade reports coming to hand
this week. At the East the drift of mat
tiers affecting our foreign relations has
been such as to discourage new business,
but this tendency has been considerably
accentuated by unseasonably cold wealth
er, which has checked the usual Easter
demand to a considerable extent. Reports
from the West are that the heavy rush
of Spring business is about over and that
orders coming in now are of a filling-in
character. Here again reports of un
seasonable weather are met with. A
fairly good business is reported at the
South, but a slight check to our export
trade is reported. growing out of the
raising of freight and insurance rates
consequent on the disturbed foreign out
look. Frost is reported to have injured
the peach and other crops and early
planted tobacco. A fairly satisfactory
trade is reported at the Northwest. Lake
navigation is now open and anticipations
are that prosperous years business will
be done. Rather less activity is noted
in most of the country'S great staples.
Cotton goods have moved fairly WELL
ginghams especially being in excellent de-
mand, and except for low grade cottons
notably print cloths, which have made
a new low price record of &c. per yard
this week. the situation is as favorable
as could be expected. Wool is duh, re-
fiecting uncertainty as to future business
and unsatisfactory margins of profit. The
iron trade continues to report n large
volume of business being done, but it is
becoming evident it is chiefly on orders
previously booked. Engagements for fu-
ture work have diminished alike in num-
Der and volume, particularly in the East,
pending the outcome OF foreign comDiica-
| tons. Speculation in cereals and other
food products here reflected the prevail
| ing uncertainty in most cases, but a spec
ulauve squirt has appeared in the cof-
fee market, in which prices have been
marked up more than lc. per pound dur
ing the week on reports of possible higher
duties on this product. Anthracite coal
shows no Improvement and a reduction in
the list price of 25c. has been already
more than anticipated in the reduction in
dealers prices of soc. per ton.
iSie - al the moment temporary
stagnaIion but it is due TO the uncertain
~ that the Administration has forced
on the country by it's policy of hesitancy
| There are many that believe that the
weeks that have been passed through
since the great majority of the people
decided that there must be war have
been more harmful than war itself will
ever be-
Tobacco was the only exception to an
opening drop of point or no more Ii
was strong and buoyant all day. An
unusual amount of trading was done also
! in the tobacco scrip at advancing prices.

The STOCK MARKET DULL
Bond Market Neglected Except for
Few Speculative Issues.
stocks Developed Some Strength
Through Circulation of Rumors
Concerning Delay of Message.

New York. April S.-The postponement
of the transmission of the Presidents
message to Congress made quite unneces-
sary the action of the Stock Exchange in
keeping open for business today. AS
might have been expected in the general
circumstances of the dominant situation,
the profound dullness of the weeks stock
market was accentuated and for periods
the ticker was unburdened with the work
of recording quotations. Those made
stood chiefly for the futures Of the pro-
fessional room traders with modicum
of liquidation by commission houses.
1t was presumably on the belief that the
message would not go to Congress- on
Monday that the market developed
strength with the course of the day. The
first prices showed general declines, which
extended to over / point for some stocks
and during the greater part of the day the
market sagged until the majority of the
list showed similar declines. With the
spread of the idea noted the market turn
ed and a good part of the early losses
was recovered.
There was no. an item of news all day
bearing upon the general situation that
received any attention asid, from that
in regard to the developments in the
diplomatic situation. and this was an
unusually barren field day The meager
total of the days business was made up
chiefly of the dealings in Union Pacific
preferred the granger shares, Sugar Re
filming and American Tobacco. The bond
market was neglected, except fo- a few
speculative issues.
Government bonds were frac:ioEaIly
lower.
