MRS. NORRIS PLEADS GUILTY.
After Admitting the Theft of Jeweiry
Sentence Is Suspended.

Mrs. Annie Marie Norris presented
pitiable appearance yesterday when she
appeared before Justice Bradley in Grim
inal Court No. . to answer to the charge
of grand larceny. On account of her social
position the announcement of her arrest
last fall for the theft of a large quantity
of jewelry from local iewelry dealers was
the talk of the hour, especially when it
became known that the crime with which
she was charged consisted of series OF
offences and the value of the articles stolen
amounted to about $4,000.
When Mrs. Norris was arralgned on the
charge she pleaded not guilty, but yes
terday when called before Justice Bradley
she changed her plea to guilty to the siN
indictments for grand larceny which had
been found against her by the grand jury.
She stood the trying ordeal with remarka-

mother Then she broke down and wept

The stock market yesterday was a disap-
pointmenu tc the bulls in that while the
opening was strong and promising and
early prices high the level before the close
was point or so off in nearly the entire
list The day was most suggestive of
continuance OF the traders market, which
has been the rule for two weeks or more.
Opinion at the close was inclined 10 expect
Just such market for another two weeks.
In this connection a statement made by
Governor Flower in a letter 10 Washing
ton friend written last Saturday, is sig
nificant, as Mr.. Flower is certainly as
capable of judging the market as anyone
eIse This letter suggested the belief on
his part that prices will lag around the
present level until Easter,- going much,
il any, lower. After Easter the gov
ernor said look out for a big boom" All
evidences point this way at present As
soon as an advance is made in the general
list there are people willing and even anx-
ious TO sell and decline follows. On the
other hand, the leaders are undoubtedly
picking up stocks on the declines. so that
no breaks should be expected. That a fine
advance viii come in April there IS little
doubt expressed anywhere. The conditions
OF the country make il certain. despite the
fact that prices have been going up for ten

iidence that they will 90 higher shortly
even IL IL is Necessary to wait few weeks.
II is better TO hold stocks and pay interest
OIL them than 10 find ones self on the out
eide when the movement does come.
Evidences OF this kind of buying were
noticeable in Southern Railway Louisville
and Nashville, Pacific Mail and one or
two other stocks yesterday. In general
these stocks have not participated 10 the
full in the advances made in the general
list heretofore. They are all stocks about
the future of which there can be no doubt.
Each OF the three named above has been
carefully discussed in this column here
tofore. II Will be remembered that the
fine prospects of Southern Railway and
Pacific Mail have been especially dwelt on.
Southern preferred had a total advance
yesterday OF over two points and the net

may be made with regard to this fact.
One is that the leaders when they began
to advance prices may have found too
much stock ready to be sold at the slight
advances made If such was the case the
attempt to boom the specialties may be
given up for n time. Some of them un-
doubtedly will suffer this fate The lead
ers generally begin TO buy stocks openly
only when they have secured sufficient
lines for themselves at the bottom prices.
They do not care 10 buy later, and will
not take big blocks if they are offered.
In this list Brooklyn Rapid Transit seems
TO be conspicuous. II will be remem-
bered that notice of Flower buying was
given last Friday in this stock and that
par was predicted for it last week. As a
matter of fact, there was an advance OF
