The Stock Market

New York, April 24.-Trading was of a
 listess sort to-day and except for an early spurt in the specialties, prices
 dropped to the end, which was weak. Smart recessions appeared in many stocks, while most of the active list was lower. The strength of sterling ex- change attracted some attention, con-
 tinuing as It does in spite Of the com parative easiness of money, which rang ed from to for call loans. The fa- vorable bank statements of Saturday failed to arouse a noticeable increase in outside interest in the market and the bears accordingly reasoned that it was opportune to try some short ven lures. Anaconda mining was very strong rising points, only one of which it lost before the close. The advance in was associated with reports of some deal in connection with a cop per combination; moreover copper ad- vanced abroad. London was a seller of some 30,000 shares of stock, and selling came from New England and the west as we'll as from some large traders who recently had been heavy purchasers.

LIQUOR LAWS OF OLD.

Our Revolutionary Ancestors Were a
 Thirsty Generation.
 It was in the August of 1777 that the assembly of Connecticut took order for the spreading upon it's records of the declaration of the United Colonies that the memory thereof may be pre- served to posterity." As matters turn ed out, the declaration would have been remembered, in Connecticut and else where, even if that precaution had been omitted. Nevertheless the assembly, s order was entirely proper and laudable.
 The pages of the records immediate ly preceding those on which the declar- ation is spread preserve a couple of acts that will not command the ap- proval of our prohibitionist friends, but that give us an interesting glimpse of the Connecticut of the Revolution.
