In this connection stress is laid upon the
large amount of cash which is to be paid
TO Washington people shortly by the Ste
vens syndicate. This amount will be sew
eral millions OF dollars, but cannot be es-
timated accurately. The belief now ex-
pressed is that the syndicate will not wait
to the limit of its time for making its full
payments, but complete the purchases OF
the railroads and the gas company within
the next two months. All of the railroad
stocks and very large part If not all of
the electric light and gas stocks will then
be Withdrawn from the market This will
result in an abundance of cash ana a pau
city of securities in the local market at
! the same time, and the belief of brokers
is that large advance is still to come in
many securities.

The New York city corporation stocks
were the features of the trading yesterday
from their extreme weakness, and it is
apparent that they had a strong influence
on the general list. 1t had been believed
that Brooklyn and Manhattan might lead
the list yesterday in the beginning of the
boom, and when they opened weak and re-
ceived no support from the leaders a de-
preston in the railroad stocks followed
Brooklyn Rapid Transit opened at 135, and
closed at i31 1-2, and at no time in the day
showed any strength. Metropolitan Trac-
ton opened al 247 ga and closed at 242 1-2.
Consolidated Gas declined from 1875 to 191.
Manhattan was weak all day, and only
failed TO decline because it had already lost
points on the day before. The leaders
bought some stock at the bottom, but
did not seem inclined TO prevent the prices
from going OFF. Much will depend upon
the attitude OF Mr. Flower and the others
tomorrow. whether the rally comes or not.
but the street is inclined 10 believe that
these gentlemen are now about ready to
see prices advance. and that they will
come TO the rescue early in the day.

The local stock market during the past
week has been in every way different from
the New York market. Business has been
the largest in its history as total. and
the record has been exceeded also on sew
eral single days in the number of shares
and the value OF the shares traded in
Prices have advanced steadily in nearly all
stocks and rapidly in a few. Some OF the
movements in individual securities have
been unprecedented. The activity of local
stocks is attracting much attention among
business men, and it is predicted that the
coming six months will be an era of even
greater prosperity for the local corpora
items and their securities than the last.

Rev. James *. Ever, pastor of the

ivered sermon yesterday morning on
The Menace OF Mormonism." Taking
his text in Joshua, vii chapter, 18th
verse, he quoted these words: There Is
an accursed thing N the midst of thee,
o. Israel" Great nations, said Rev.
MIR. Ever, have always been guilty OF
great sins. These sometimes bring
great national embarrassment and even
disaster Israel had dissembled and so
had suffered a great defeat. What was
the remedy? Up! sanctify the people,
for there is an accursed thing in the

Mormonlsm is one OF the accursed
things I'm the m DIST of the American
Republic For many years we have al
lowed this cancer TO grow upon the
body polite. Has not the time come
when heroic treatment should be tried
and the cancer cut out?
What is Mormonism in America?
Every American patriot ought TO un-
derstand how strong an aggressive
this pernicious system Is. In the state
of Utah. there are today 100000 people.
OF these. 2OO,0 900 are Mormons. Then
in the regions beyond are more. IN
Idaho. and Arizona .and Wyoming and
Colorado and Nevada and New Mexico
there are Mormon wards. Mormonism
is not weak. IL is even now drawing
recruits from Europe and America.

OF Christ Mormonism Is crime
AGAINST God and man. 1t degrades

REVIEW OF MARKETS
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Stocks, Money, Exchange. Bonds, Grain,
Cotton, Provisions, Etc.

New York, March Stock dealings
were in moderate volume to-day, which
induced sharp net gains generally, with
q firm tone prevailing at the close. The
realizing which appeared yesterday
continued but Il short time this morn
ing. and the market quieted down, with
an appearance in many stocks OF har-
dening tendency. Traders were in
Clined to cover to some extent on the
appearance of some so-caled good
buying, which encouraged endeavors
for the long account. Burlington, Atch-
ison preferred Sugar ana the steel
stocks. With the cessation of long stock
coming out, became decidedly firmer.
Brooklyn Transit was strong, because
of the announcement that the stock is
sued to acquire another company had
been absorbed by n syndicate. st.
Louis, Southwestern preferred was de-
cidedly strong and there were mum.
Der of advances among the specialties.
including Consolidated Gas, Metropoli-
tan Street Railway, General Electric,
Tin Plate and Tobacco. The upward
manipulation of the latter stock. which
reached 1871, was on the theory that il
would have monopoly of the trade
by its acquisition Of the Union Tobacco
Company. The success OF the Chicago
and Alton deal was the subject of ia
vorable comment because of the bene-
fetal effect on the general railroad
situa ton, which it was assumed would
result from the deal. Out of town
houses were purchasers. except those
in the West, which both bought and
sold. Arbitrage houses disposed of
some 10000 shares. a portion of which
