The Stock Market.

New York, April 5.--To- days stock market was almost utterly stagnant and there were minutes at time dur ing the session of the exchange when ed. Small as the total volume of busi- ness was, most of it was made up of transactions in 8 few of the leading stocks, Sugar and the grangers ab- sorbing the largest proportions. The dullness itself was expressive of the prevailing sentiment of waiting and of extreme doubt. Not only were reports very conflicting as to what would be the tenor of the presidents message to congress tomorrow, but opinions as to how the message would be received and disposed of differed widely. There was practically nothing left of yester- days sanguine anticipation that a sen- timent would grow in Washington against war-like measures. There were in fact significant reports that the or ganized pressure which has been ex- erted upon congress during the last few days against hostile measures has rather defeated its purpose by awaken ing resentment Wall street counted much on the effect of these united rep resentations to congress.
 Prices show small losses throughout as a result of the days trading. The opinion is still 4tenaciously held in some quarters that hostilities may yet 1>a I~ +l.; entertained to-day were based on the possibility that Spain would be in duced to yield to the demands of this government by the representations of the pope and the European powers. An expression of the prevailing uneasiness was the decision by the stock exchange governing board ito keep open for busi- ness on Good Friday. The money mar ext continues to, o,refect the stress over the relations with Spain as forcibly as does the stock market. Funds con- tinue to move to the interior for the purpose of strengthening the reserves of interior banks The proportion of reserves of all the banks in the country have been enormously increased in the last few weeks and New York has made good the consequent drain upon its reserves by a large contraction in loans and by heavy imports of gold from Europe. The owners of money are very loath to put it out in loans. The prevailing rates of 5 per cent. for time money and the varying rates for call loans are admitted to be largely sentimental and based on apprehension of war. The position of the banks is admittedly strong, the supply of availa- ble funds large and the demand for the use of money not very active. But with rates stiffly held gold continues and will continue to come from Europe An casing of money in London and Berlin facilitates the import gold move- ment and the engagements announced o-day amounted to nearly $3,000, 1000.
 Transactions in bonds were on very small scale, but the market shared the depression with stocks. Total sales, $1, ,225, ,00O.

 "I deplore this war talk" yesterday, said Rev.

These are dead geese set up in such fashion as to resemble a flock feeding, bt sometimes i've ones are used
 The geese and brant congregate on Maine Prairie by the tens of thou sands in March, where they seem to organize in armies for the flight to the north. In their morning and after noon flights from the bay they circle round and round over the prairie and work splendidly to the decoys, the shooters meantime being out of sight in the dugouts.
 Each visitor is guaranteed at least twenty-five geese per day or is enter tained ong enough to get that number. The average shooter will, however, bring down from fifty to seventy-five a day, and often bigger bags than this are made.-Solano News-Record.
