Was Very Wild During the
Past Week.
PRICES OF SOME SHARES
Varied Very Greatly, Especially in
Specialties--Money Was Scare
err Than For Some Time.

New York, April 1.-Stock trading this
week was often wild, and dealing aver
aged over $1,000 600 daily for the four
days Good Friday being a holiday. The
largest volume preceded the check which
the advance received about Wednesday
noon. In the earlier trading there was
a considerable Investigation of interest,
later the actively manipulated specialties,
which had already been prominent, con-
centrated attention with an easing OF
prices in the railways for the lack OF IN
terest. The Flower stocks, on enormous
dealings. were pushed up at a lively rate
without very important news appearing.
Brooklyn Transit, which has sold at is,
and within a year at So, touched 1864,
with a subsequent easing off, but closing
with a 15-point net rise. Federal Steel
rose 11$s and Peoples Gas, too, was
strong. Manhattan ex-rights sold up 61s,
American Tobacco Is, sugar Z, with most
of the other specialties showing advances.
Excepting the Morgan properties, espe-
cially the c%OalerS, the railways were
strong at some time, although afterWard
dropping. The VanderbiltS were all
moved upward on q. REVIVAL of the talk
that appeared during the boom, of an
amalgamatiOn of some of the properties,
but there was a partial recession as the
report was discredited in some circles.
Northwest advanced 16 points, six of
which it failed to hold.
The spectators gave much attention
to the Samoan and Philippine situation,
the money market and sterling exchange.
Call money shortly before the close on
Thursday touched the highest figure-12
per cent-that has been witnessed in a
long time. The extreme rate was to be-
lated borrowers making provision for
loans carrying over until Monday. Money
ranged from 81 to II per cent for call
accommodation, with most of the bust
ness transacted not far below the extreme
legal rate-6 per cent-to which figure
the banks advanced their funds. The
strength and advance in sterling ex-
change coincident with stringent money,
was attributed to the preparations for
April foreign dividend and interest dis
hursements. This was accounted for by
others as being partly due to anticipa-
tory purchases connected with the forth
coming settlement of the Philippine in
deInnity.

depressions on both sides of it the streams
flow between the mass n the hiilsides.
Thenatives say there is nothing new
about the phenomenon, that the mass is
always IN very gradual motion, and
though they till a part of the surface they
have given up attempts to build houses
on it because they always tumble down.
Though this information is made pub
lie without by so high an au-
thority as Sir Martin Conway, the editor
of Nature, in which it appears, seems in
clined to regard it as afish story and
dlsclaims responsibility for it. If the in
formation is correct it would seem that
the slope of the + ock underlying the al
luVial mass is sufficiently steep to over
come the friction to a considerable ex-
ten , permitting a slow movement of the
earth down the valley, as glaciers move
to lower levels.
This phenomenon appears to be midway
between the landslides that are frequent
in mountain regions when the lower part
of the earth mass becomes saturated with
Watr. making the rock slope on which it
rests srppery. and the very thick. black
mud avalanChes that Sir Martin Conway
and other explorers have described as
rushing down the steep nullahs in the
HimalayaS at the rate of several miles
an hour.

STREAM OF EARTH.

New York Sun: Captain Roberts. of the
BRUSH army writes to Sir Martin Con-
way, the explorer of the Himalayas. OF a
curious phenomenon he has seen among
the mountains of the extreme northwest
ern part of India, not far from the Upper
lnuus. Ihere is a very narrow valley or
nul!ah among these mountains. the head
OF which is about II, 600 feet and the foot
1900 feet above the sea level. The earth
on the moor Of this nullah is moving down
