New York, April S.r-The stock exchange
was open to-day for the first time on
Good Friday in over thirty years. When

spone 10 a motion put on the board to
forego the usual holiday 1t was expected
that the Presidents message would be
presented to Congress on Wednesday and
that by Friday the shock of war might
have come. The resembling Of the motion
was discussed when the postponement Of
the Presidents message was announced,
but no action was taken. As the event

trade even yesterday.

exchanges were all closed, II was supposed

engagement of gold for import was suffi-
