ANTHRACITE COAL STOCKS.

The strength which the stocks or the antnracHe
coal carrying roads have recently displayed may
be accounted for by the improved condition OF tne
coal trade The coal output for the first six months

months Of 1895 6l3 per cent OF the output Tor the

last six months OF 1899 be the same the output lot
the year would be $4,000 tons. 1t Is question:

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

There were inacton in stocks and declining
tendency in values yesterday until the Dank
statement made its appearance, when there were
q revival In dealings and gain In prices Inc
reawakening in speculation came 30 late, now
ever that the total of transactions was left far
below that of preceding Saturdays, and the res
toration OF prices was incomplete.
While the bank statement was by no means
satisfactory, II as good as could be expected
In the circumstances. and gave promise OF pro-
nounced improvement in the future. In orlef
the abatement was interpreted as indicating that
the worst was over In call money The increase
of S., 636275 In the surplus reserves to Sloo9o'-
$50 came plainly, for the most part, from the re-
duction in the liabilities of the banks, or, IN
other words from the decrease In deposits. Inc
ratio Of cash holdings was brought up from Zo1a
per cent in last weeks statement to 70 per cent
The increase OF 1927 400 in legal tenders was
said 10 be due to the surrender to the banks by
trust companies Of some Of their holdings TO
al,av the scarcity Of bills. The contraction Of
S171SO 700 In loans accounted for the pinch IN
call money that continued through the entire
week.
There was naturally considerable discussion of
the foreign financial situation. 1t seemed TO De
accepted that money abroad would hold firm for
the present at least. Proof of this, In fact' was
furnished by the action Of the Bank of England
IN raising its discount rate and by the possibility
of a further advance in It's rate. On the Contl-
nent especially in Berlin, the Strengthening dls-
position of money was apparent 1t was oouoteo'
much as the Bank of England desires to increase
its reserve, If 1t would seek to draw more goid
from New-York. In case more gold should go 10
the other side the explanation would be simple
1t would mean that Europe was again a Dor
rover here and was paying high for accommoda-
ton. What was expected was that dollar
loans' In heavy amounts would be negotiated by
Europe to keep from parting with It's goio as
long as possible II Is evident that the Unlteo
States is again becoming creditor country 70 d

Europe is affected thereby

ELEVEN INCHES OF SNOW
The Weather Clerk Is on Unfriendly
Terms With st. Georee-It Was the
Heaviest Snowfall OF the En-
tire Winter,

Yesterday was the boss April fool
Friday night and continued to heap
insult upon expectations until it had
buried the latter under a slushy, mushy
weight of II inches-l1 inches by actual
measurement on top Of pile of lum-
Der on Washington street at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning.
March, the reputed bad lion month of
the new year, acted the part of the
gentle lamb in comparison with the
ugly antics of April on the 22d day of
it's existence. The weather clerk has
shown conclusively that he is in full
accord with st. Patrick and on I'M
friendly terms with St. George, for the
18th of March was a bright, beautiful
day, and yesterday. st. Georges day,
was given knockout drops and put to
sleep under an Alaskan snow heap.
Excluding the thermometer from the
cast. Christmas was a more appropri-
ate April character.
For the past two weeks street sprink-
1ers have been pressed into required
service and there Were many other evil
dences that the backbone of winter
was broken. But the bone has knitted
and winter is doing business in his
usual clustering way.
1t must go on record that the heaviest
snow fall of the winter of 1S9S-99, in
Butte, occurred on April %, 1899, heav-
Ter by seven inches.
Yesterday morning the intricate net
work of electrical wires at the inter-
section of Main and Broadway re-
sembled so many white cables. The eff
feet was beautiful in the extreme. So
far the thermometer has not taken Of
Tense at the weather and gone down
into it's bulb, but when April acts like
it did yesterday people lose confidence
in it and won't be surprised if the Their
mometer concludes to make it's mark
below zero.
This storm recalls to mind the dis
astrous snow fall in April in the middle
los. Then the whole Northwest was
afflicted. In Nebraska many families
crawled out of their homes through
top-story windows and up trees to the
top of the snow. 1t is not so bad as
that in Butte, but men are cussing just
as hard as if there We're IL feet instead
of II inches of snow.

Longest Beard in the World.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Probably the longest beard in the
world is that of metal worker in Mar
seiles The man is "a years old. When
IA years of age he had a beard six
inches long. 1t grew from year to year,
and now his hrsute attachment when
unrolled. reaches the respectable length
of 10 feet 10 inches. When this man
goes out walking he carries his beard
rolled up in a big skein under his arm.
Since he is rather small in size, meas
uring but feet inches, the beard is
more than twice the mans height.
