Another sensational two hours charac-
terized the opening Of the stock market
this morning. Prices in nearly all parts
of the list went up and in one or two in
stances there were spurts equal to that of
Burlington yesterday, almost. The DAYS
of the best part of the boom a month ago
are recalled, except that as yet the public
has not gotten into the market And this
peculiar condition has developed The
commission houses almost without an eX-
ception have failed to advise their Gus
toners to buy stocks. During the entire
week while prices have advanced steadily.
they have talked of a traders market"
and advised taking profits and selling on
all spurts. They have all been wrong. The
professional operator, also, with one or
two exceptions have failed to grasp their
opportunities. The advance has taken all
these people by surprise in fact, and en-
tirely overturned their ideas The situa-
tion is much like that of two months ago
when despite the continued advanced of
the market the professionals talked of re-
actions and sold out their stocks
The situation is one that deserves the
most careful consideration. 1t may be that
prices have nearly reached their high
prices again, and that at any time a reac-
tion may come. On the other hand after
such an advance as the last week has seen.
STEADY ana continuous, and In practically
all parts of the list, is it not to be sun
posed that the public will begin to buy in
large volume soon? And il this occurs
may not the beginning of another great
boom have started? The ordinary spring
advance comes usually not much later than
this Why, in this year of unusual condi-
tions, may the discounting of this boom
not already have been begun by such
shrewd operators as Mr.. Keene and Mr..
Flower? The entire outlook, if carefully
scanned has much in it that points in this
direction. Practically the entire specula-
tive community believes that the year Is
to see higher prices than at any time be-
fore in twenty years. The only question
involving any difference of opinion is as
to when this advance is to begin.
st. Paul and Rock Island were the feat
ures of the morning market AS was to
have been expected these two stocks could
not but act in sympathy with the remark

A HAIR-CLIPPER CAPTURED.

Wednesday night while in the act of cut

one of the police officers with his shears.

stock was active this morning, but no
new advance was made in its price, On
the other hand both Rock Island and st.
Paui went up steadily and rapidly. st.
Paul started at 128, the price of last night,
and within an hour had reached within
small fraction of 130. There was reac-
tion fractionally after that but it seemed
likely that before the day was over this
stock would, like Burlington, have passed
its previous high mark Rock Island went
to within a fraction of 120 in the first hour
and yielded only fractionally later. There
is again talk OF the dividend in st. Paul,
but it is realized that the boom is not
caused by any certainty OF higher rate
St. Paul is worth more than its present
price at per cent, especially when per
cent and considerably more is earned.
Metropolitan Traction went to pa this
morning, another advance of points above
the previous high price. Four dollars
day has come to be in a manner the
regular advance ofithis stock. But 244 for
a per cent stock is such an apparently
outrageous price that few of the public
will touch Metropolitan, and in the long
run this will probably prove to be the
safe and wise plan.
One of the Interesting features OF the
general situation Is the very apparent fact
that LONDON mas practlcally soid OUT lts
holdings of American shares. The idea
was that they could be bought back at a
smaller price, but up to this time this has
proven q mistaken notion. And now Lon
don is buying again at higher prices. In
some cases. it is said. London brokers are
refusing to quote such stocks at st. Paul
because of their inability to get the stock
to deliver.

occasicned by game Of poker at the

invited number of students of the
academy Of the Northwestern univer-
sity to the house and cards were pro-
posed. In time money was wagered,
and when the excitement was running
high a member of the First Methodist
church, attracted by the clink CT silver,
looked into the window. The sight that
met his eyes made him gasp, and he
lost no time in notifying other mem
bers OF the congregation. -
Yesterday morning the boyssWho had
taken part in the game were called
before DR.. Fisk, of the academy. The
result Of the inquiry has not been

JEFFERSON DAY DINNER.
States Carved From the Louisiana
Purchase to BE Represented.

NEW YORK, March 3.-Honor to the
memory of Thomas Jefferson by the
Democratic club on April 13, the ami
versary of his birth, will take the form
of dinner, with speeches by men of
national renown, whose keynote will
be expansion.
These things were settled by the
board of governors of the club, after
they had had a good laugh at a pub
lished story that former President
Cleveland, William J. Bryan, former
Senator Hill and Richard Croker would
sit at the same table and celebrate in
harmony the birthday of Democracy's
great eXemplar.i =;, -
Perry Belmont, president of the club,
made the suggestion which resulted in
the decision to make the feast dem
onstration in favor of expansion, and
his idea was indorsed without a dis
senting vote. Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Bryan have declared themselves foes
of expansion, and Mr.. Hill once de-
clared himself against Croker in the
Democratic club. so there is little like
lihood that they will be present
Mr.. Belmont called the attention Of
the governors to the fact that Thomas
Jefferson was the first great expan-
sionist of the United States. 1t was
under Jefferson, he said, that the
louisiana purchase was made. That
province extended from the Gulf to
Canada, and out of it since have been
made Louisiana, Arkansas, Kansas,
Missouri. Minnesota, Montana, Nebras-
lsa, Iowa, Wyoming, North Dakota,
South Dakota and part of Colorado.
Acting on Mr.. Belmont's suggestion,
it was decided to have present rep
resentative of each of the states that
were made out of the purchased ter
ritory
This dinner will be held in the Met
ropolitan opera house, and is likely to
be the largest ever held in New York.
The price of tickets was fixed last
night at $40, and any one of the 1900
members of the club will come up to
| what is expected of him If he buys one.
Mr. Croker will be the final judge as
| to who shall be invited and who shall
| speak. and said that no names have
been considered or will be until his sub
! committee meets again.
