n" Sensational Features ManIfested
In Operations To-day.

New York. April 1.-THE stock market
vas less active in the early dealings than
had been the case lately and considerable
irregularity was shown. The more encour-
aging news with regard to the Samoan
controversy was Offset to some extent by
the fear of a furry in call money later in
the day The dealings were largely of a
professional character. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit subscription rights sold at to
3-4. The stock exchange rights ruled
from 120 TO 1S1. Manhattan advanced over
per cent and there was a rise of 4 per
cent in Metropolitan Street Railway.
Rumors were current that political ele-
ments had been assured of so successful
developments in Traction affairs as to be-
come liberal buyers. Third Avenue opened
up per cent. Most of the changes in the
general railway list were fractional. The
market showed hardening tendency after
the early transactions, but the speculative
temper was not entirely settled. Govern

Burlington was in the lead with gain
of nearly two points In a short time. St.
Paul went up fractionally as did also Rock
Island and Atchison. The latter stock was
a point above the low yesterday before
noon. The unexpected strength of these
stocks at this time leads many people to a
revision Of their opinions and confirms 9TH
ers in the belief that they are now selling
around the bottom prices and that the ad-
vance from this time will be good if per-
haps slow.

inns morning though no new records were
made. The grangers and other railway
stocks after hesitating and sagging some-
what in the first hour showed some
strength later. The beginning Of the ses-
sion therefore can be considered as moth
ing but favorable. AS a matter of fact
1t was better than had been expected by
the general speculative public after the
selling OF yesterday. The outlook at l2
O'Clock was good. though nothing in the
way OF boom for today was expected
The trading was somewhat dull The two
theories as TO the future course of the mar
ket are sharply defined. There were pre-
dfctions this morning by Wall Street peo-
pie that the bull market is over and that
from this time stocks will be a sale on all
rallies. On the other hand many of the
leaders and large section of the public
are enthusiastic over the prospects for
good advances during the coming week and
later. The strength of the grangers this
forenoon in the face of the advancing
price of wheat was one of the best signs
of the intrinsic strength. Of the market at
this level.
The evening times., 1899-04-14

The grangers are especially noticeable
at this juncture. Wheat this morning sold
above IS cents, or an advance Of cents
from the low price of yesterday. This ad-
vance was accompanied by more stories of
damage to the crop which might almost be
supposed to be totally destroyed from the
news that is already out on 1t. Some Of
the most careful people in the Street pre-
dicted that there would be drop in the
grangers today as result Of this news.
Nothing of the kind occurred. The open
ing prices were a trifle lower than those
at the close yesterday, but they were the
lowest of the morning trade. The stock

CANCER AND CATTLE.
DO Human beings Derive the For-
mer from the Lntter-st is
said They Do.

II. Jasper More, Esq, NJ. p, has writ
ten the following interesting letter 10
the secretary of the Cancer society:
"At the request of Sir Charles Cam
eron, beg leave to send suggestion
as TO the origin of cancer, which Oh
Walter Foster and others haze thought
well worth consideration, anil 10 which
| should have drawn attention in the
house had there been any discussion Cd

ed the opportunity.
Having for many years ms an anna.
teur devoted what attention l could To
the question, am happy TO think your
society affords chance of theories be-
ing examined.
.'At the annual meeting of the Royal
Agricultural society, held in the rooms
of the Medical society In Hanover
square at the end Of last year, n mem
Der said there were many cancerous
cattle, and much cancerous meat eaten,
and that he thought the question OF
whether. cancer in human beings owed
| its origin to this cause should be eN-
amned quite as much as the connection
between tuberculosis in cattle and con-
sumption. / followed him and tried 10
draw further attention TO the point, but
il seemed TO take the president and
council by surprise, and no mere was
said.
"Since then have made considerable
inquiry into the question among farm
RS of al kinds whom | could trust. |
have inquired, first, whether cancer is
common among cattle, and, secondly,
whether the meat is sold for food when
il is known the animals suffer from it.
"The result of my inquiries is that
cancer is far more common among cat
lie than tuberculosis; and secondly,
that the meat Of those cattle suffering
from II is generally sold for food.

THE EDIroR AND THE People.

A editor who had conducted news
paper for 30 long years one day de-
cided that If he could find man in his
town 90 take charge for week he
would go on a vacation. He therefore
started out In search, and put the ques-
ton TO lawyers, doctors and men of all
professions. To his amazement each
and every one replied:
"1'll take charge for you, OF course,
and I'll show you that you never knew
how TO run n paper" When through
with the professions the editor went
among the mechanics and laboring
men, but still the answer was the same.
At the end of four days he had found
but one single individual who doubted
himself, and who said:
81 am subject 20 fits and periods OF
temporary insanity, and perhaps l
ought not TO tackle the job, but / can
tell you one thing just the same.

him and said:

leave you little except my good name.
In roaming around few days ago l
discovered big piece of meat hang
ing up in peasants woodshed, and
il is easy 10 get at. When you have

and divide it equally between YOU"
When the father had drawn his last
