MARKET DULL.
General Depression Reigns
Throughout the Entire List.
STANDARD Stocks Suffer With the specu.
Iatlye lssues-Cash Continues TO Flow
to the Inland States.

New York, March 12.-The profession
al traders were somewhat astonished at
the effects they achieved in prices to-
uay The bears who attacked the. mar
ket at the opening had buying orders at
the prices to which they desired to drive
stocks. The market showed itself so
weak when these prices were reached,
that the buying orders were quickly
Withdrawn. This covering movement
accounted for the sharp rally in the first
hour and there were some recoveries at
the close. Otherwise there was nothing
to relieve the UNMARRIED depression which
prevailed through the whole list Of
stocks and bonds. The closely held
standard stocks suffered with the pure
ly speculative issues, and in some cases
severely. Lake Shore is an example. 1t
sold at 1856, a decline of three points,
and closed with the bidding at only 1S0
Pennsylvania dropped three full
points. st. Paul suffered acutely, prob
ably on the uncovering of margins on
recent speculative buying. and was off
at one time 4ss per cent. Northwest
dropped "A, and Burlington three
points. The local traction stocks were
SQudlly weak. lit VI III JIM
nent stocks which show net losses of be-
tween 2 and points is very large. The
total sales in the two hours of trading
323, 800, was we'll up to the average Of a
full days business, for the week ex-
elusive of Monday, and blocks of seve-
raj thousand shares were frequently re-
corded. Part of these offerings were
speculative holdings dislodged by ex-
hausted margins, but there can be no
doubt that sales of investment hold
ings, such as are not usually influenced
at all by the speculative movement or
prices, are beginning to absorb an in
creasing proportion of the business on
the stock exchange. There was no
specific item of the days news that can
be pointed to to account for the demora-
lzation Of the market.
1t was caused rather by the general
conviction that the reports Of the Maine
board Of inquiry, and a statement OF the
further policy of the government to-
ward Cuba are imminent, and the un-
willingness Of operators to carry open
contracts over Sunday. The weekly
bank statement shows that the gold i'm
ports received for the week have not
been sufficient to offset the continued
Withdrawals to the interior, 50 that the
cash holdings show a net decrease of
S736, 100 But as the heavy drawing
down Of deposits has reduced the % per
cent reserve requirements by $2,634, 625,
the surplus reserve is enlarged by

For some time past he has told his
friends of angels that came to him while
he slept and urged him to take up the
mission of reforming the world. Satur-
day morning his reason gave way, and
he started out at o'clock on his work
of reform. He held up pedestrians cleo
trio cars and carriages in his frantic at
tempt to inform the people of the sin of
the world His actions were reported to
the officers and he was taken to the
police station, raving about religion.

Messrs. s. r. Leland & Son, Worcester,
Mass:
Gentlemen--In answer to your inquiry
regarding the number OF times a piano
should be tuned during a year, we would
say the first year the plano really should
times would probably answer, but it would
be better for the instrument If it could
have four solid tunings the first year after
1t leaves the factory. After that the piano
SHOULD be tuned twice year, spring and
fall.
A good tuner can do a great deal to-
wards the lasting of a plano, and it is
great mistake for customers to not have
their pianos properly attended to.
Very truly yours,
Emerson Piano Co., Edward S. Payson.

Messrs. S. r. Leland & Son, Worcester,
Mass:
Dear Sirs-Replying TO your favor of
March 9TH, we would state that all new
pianos that we send out are tuned four
times during the first year. We find from
experience that piano should receive at
least from three to four tunings every year
in order to give the best satisfaction. We
have known of instances. where pianos
have given general satisfaction, but for
critical musical ear a piano should GER
tainly receive the above stated number of
tunings In order to keep the instrument In
perfect condition.
Yours truly,
