THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, March 14.-The stock and
bond markets were strong throughout
today. Different opinions were offered
A.; 20 the cause If this and probably
had some truth in them. That the ex-
Cess of buoyancy was a surprise to
many professional traders, even to
those who expected some natural re-.
hound from saturdays excessive de-
pre- sion, was evident. There was no.h-
ing N the news of the day to change
materially the political outlook and
that there were many holders of secur-
tiles who continued nervous was evil
dent from the large offerings to real
ize with the sharp rise at the opening,
but the reaction which resulted from
these offerings was more than over
come, even those stocks which showed
the largest gains at the opening ris-
ing again to the highest and those
which had been less affected at the
opening rising in some cases over a
point above the early high prices. The
irmness of prices was sustained to the
close. Total sales were 436, 800 shares.

Miss Lizzie Moyle, of Scranton, was
the guest of her grandmother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Higgins, Sunday and yester-
day.
Frof. j. l.. Morgan has received a
programme of the musical and literary
eisteddfod to be held in the Ninth re-
giment armory, at Wilkes Barre, on
Memorial day, under the auspices Of
the Young Cambrian Aid society. The
prizes offered are very liberal and it is
said there VIII be one or more entries
from here in the prize essay contest.
There has also been some talk of Or
eanizing a choir here to enter in the
grand chorus, Worthy is the Lamb"
The winning choir in this contest will
receive s400, with a gold medal to the
successful leader. Several years ago,
at Scranton, a Forest City choir, under
the leadership of Prof. Morgan, divided
the chief prize of 5000 with a Scranton
choir. Their chance of success in the
Wilkes Barre eisteddfod would be
equally as good as at that time, If not
better. We would like to see choir
organized in Forest City to compete
in the principal event at the eisteddfod
to be held on Memorial day.
