The Thomas Tea Store,

The public flock to the store of Thomas the tea, coffee and spice deal CT just as they did in days of yore. The reputation of the store for excel lent goods, long ago established, is steadily maintained, and people, as ever. find that it pays to buy tea, cof- fee and spices at Thomas in the inward satisfaction occasioned by the using of them; and another reason which telnpts the buyer to call again outside of the pleasure afforded in dealing with cour- teous, obiging people, is the scrupu- lous neatness which everywhere per yades the store Good business capaci- ty and enterprise marks the manage ment of the store throughout.

DECAYING VILLAGE.

Not in forty years has there been as many vacant houses and as few inhab- itants in Riverton, as there is this spring Never since the Messrs. Steph- ems came here thirty-five years ago with the rule business has there been as few employed in the shop, the paper mill closed and just now nothing at the sleigh shoe business in the old scythe shop, so as there is nothing for the people to do there they, of course, have to go where there is work.-Waterbury American.

The Stock Market.

New York, April 14.-Trading was rather sluggish most of the day, trans actions only exceeding by little half million shares. Local transportation shares continued prominent in the deal ings, while the railways moved within narrow limits The idea that Brooklyn Transit might be benefited by some of the mooted electrical combinations made the stock in keen request. The stock sold, ex-the subscription rights, which were quoted around 2, to 3A, and the stock itself, ex-rights, ranged from 129 to 134A, closing at 134, against last nights 13O Manhattan, too, ran up some points. while Metropolitan, after an early display of strength, broke ' points, closing with net loss of 3. Among other strong specialties were Sugar, Peoples Gas, Continental To- badco, Federal Steel, Rubber and Ten nessee Coal, the two last named rising 3 and 6, respectively.
 The railway list although neglected most of the day, was strong in the late dealings. Influences at work on sent1- ment were easy money, hopes of fla yorable bank statement tomorrow and rather better reports on wheat. Mobile and Ohio advanced on small dealings on the belief that deal was pending which would secure the road an en- trance to Chicago over the St. Louis Short Line,
 A number of brokers have secured large time loans so as not to be forced to pay high rates for call loans in any possible squeeze in money. Transac- tions for foreign account were very small. In the final dealings the pres sure against traction stock caused some recessions from the best prices, but the undertone was good.
 To-days bond market showed good breadth, and there were some good gains in issues which have lately ob- tained prominence in the market. Total sales $3,600,000.
 United States threes coupon advanced 1s, while the old fours coupon and the new fours declined A per cent. in the bid price.
