New York, April 25-Dealing in stocks to-day was rather dull. The market was genrally heavy in the fore noon, while in the afternoon some strength appeared, especially among those stocks which had been more de- pressed early. The grangers initiated the improvement coincident with the weakness in wheat. London was a sell CT of the internationals, particularly Of Louisville and Southern. Although the professional element was bearish, spec ulation throughout displayed an under tone of resistance, which caused many of the trading element to reverse their tactics.

$S0,0OO FOR NATIONAL GUARD.
For Equipment Before the Annual State
 Camp is Held.

For Equipment Before the Annual State
 Camp is Held.
 The adjutant general has ordered Quartermaster General Newton to pur- chase for the National Guard a full equipment of arms, uniforms and camp equipage. The uniforms required con- sist of cap, blouse and trousers, and there will also be required belts, bayo- net scabbards haversacks, canteens, tents, tent poles, bed sacks or mattress es, cooking ovens and utensils, about 200 stands of arms, non-commissioned staff officers swords and a quantity of quartermaster's stores aggregating in all about $S0000, an exceedingly large expenditure to make without special legislative authority.
 The order coming from the adjutant general is something like a mandate, but the quartermaster general, when he comes to study the subject, will find himself in d quandary, for he hasn't a dollar with which to make the purchase. The board of control made an approprf- alton to the retiring quartermaster gen eral to cover deficiencies caused by ex tra expenditures resulting from the war with Spain, and the current approDria- ition according to the quartermaster generals report, will only be enough to carry the department through the pres- ent fiscal year. Now the quartermaster general is ordered by the governors chief of staff to eXpend 000 which he hasn't got, nor is it even in sight. The committee on appropriation has not yet considered the military appropria- tion and when reported they will not be available until the next fiscal year. There is a statute which positively pro- hibits any state officer or person en- trusted with state furds expending more than appropriated or mourning any expenditure, making any contract, or in any way rendering the state lia- ble for money in excess of the sum ap- propriated.
 Were Quartermaster General Newton to buy the uniforms, equipment, etc, or make any contracts in excess Of an appropriation now available, he would be liable to impeachment by tke gen. eral assembly as well as to forfeit the amount of his bond to the state, which is considerable.
 It is surmised that this action of the adjutant general, who is not yet the law. making power, is so as to provide the state troops with proper equip ment before the annual encamprent is held.
