Here was treason to God, to nature,
to country, constitution, people and
common honesty; for all contracts, OBJ
legations and debts were at once dou-
hled against the debtors; not only
doubling all private Indebtedness, but
the public debts, county, city, State and
National, which the people will have
to pay, principal and interest, in doubled
taxation. At the same moment (unex-
ampled enormity). all wages, prices and
values fell to half-price, and credit fed
bowling.
But we are assured that If there are
half-wages, half-work, and half-values,
and no credit, all is made even by half
prices and half-demand for productions.
Even if that were so, labor and produc-
tion are brothers, and neither wishes to
live off the others misfortunes; hut
where is the evening? Are half-wages
and half-work, or no work, offset by
half-price for necessary products which
labor itself produced? But the half
price, or grading, does not extend to
debts, taxes and many others, unaffect.
ed by the scaling of wages, prices and
property values. After the laborer buys
his necessaries Of he cam, he discovers
that, If there is any cash over, it must
go to these fixed obligations, and he has
no surplus at all for comforts, Injuries,
or pleasures. He has to wear his ola
clothes to rags; his wife cannot buy a
new calico frock Cheap as it isl, and she
is ashamed to go to church as she is:
the children cannot go to school because
they have no shoes for the cold weather
or they have to be put at some thing
to help support the wretched family.
Dazed for moment, he seeks relief
in his wife's and children's resources
but their butter, eggs, chickens, vege-
tables. fruit and small crop of corn
and potatoes, sadly needed at home,
bring little in trade ''at the store" and
there is no demand for his work or
theirs. He is forced to recognize the
cold fact; that he and his have been

children must be kept from school: no

WALL STREET'S DOINGS.

Prince & Whitley in their last even
ings summary Of yesterdays market
say:
The pace set for values of securities
in our market at the opening, and espe-
cially for specialties, was too fast per-
haps to sustain properties which other
wise would be deserving of considerable
attention and which on reactions had
to suffer proportionately with the stocks
under manipulation. At the same time
we can only reaffirm that there is more
inquiry and investment demand for all
classes of well established securities and
that all signs point to an incre ased spec
ulation and consequent gradual higher
level of values.
London was expected u to u above
our Saturdays close and orders for in
vestment ran in the Pacific group of
stocks from that source, which, being
held in very strong hands, could be fill
ed only at advancing figures. The mar
ket in London after the regular close
was strong and higher for Americans,
with a good demand from the continent,
especially of the Pacific stocks.
Foreign exchange, on account Of no
demand, was easy at unchanged rates,
actual 4S3A@% and 4.85as.
Money was in more active demand,
loaning as high as per cent. on call on
mixed securities. We quote per cent.
for average loans to-day.
Although the money rates were SO

high to-day they seem to be better un-
derstood as being temporary only; in the
meantime prices Of securities suffered
under these rates.
Railway earnings for the second week
in March reported to-day.
Commercial reports as they come to
hand to-day are in the main very ia
vorable.
The wheat market was very firm on
European buying and short covering,
closing one-half cent from the highest,
but still one-half cents higher than Sat-
urday
The price is not high and admits of
many possibilities.
The action of values in the cotton
market is surprising; still, with all the
professional traders bearing and put
ting the screws to the element long who
needed their margins on stock transact
lions and forcing cut longs, it Is not
surprising that under the heavy liquf-
dalton the market price should be low
err.
We think to-day's market offers an
opportunity to buy cotton which will
not often occur
During the late trading the high rates
for money exercised a depressing influ-
ence on the market and recessions were
general throughout the list. With Mr..
Vanderbilts return from the south the
long-mooted consolidation between New
York Central, Northwest and Union Pa
cific is the gossip of the street again.
The market closed irregular, but not
inherently weak, although prices are
lower than the highest of the day.

The Stock Market.

New York. March 20.-The market af-
ter a sensational movement in Sugar
and the local transportation shares,
| closed weak with mixed net changes.
Interest largely centered in Sugar
in which the transactions were over
| 1911 900 of total Of about 100000 shares
Sugar opened with an advance of about
8 points ran off 80, and then touched
| 1872 with subsequent plunge OF IL
points, closing with net loss of about
s points. The extraordinary movement
of this stock had wide influence In
other directions. Brooklyn Transit was
lifted over points and then lost much
of the gain Pronounced strength APP
peared in the Vanderbilts, Union Pa
citic. the coalers and Chicago Termin-
al preferred, while some of the interna-
tionals made show of str ength In the
early dealings in sympathy with the
higher range in London. Tobacco
stocks were extremely feverish. Amer
lean Tobacco broke 61s, rallied 8, and
left off with a loss of q Continental
Tobacco slumped 14a, and was off 3
points at the close. The liquidation in
these stocks was attributable to the re-
ported formation of a new opposition
tobacco company. Manhattan retain
ed the greater parto Of point rise.
There was a disposition of the pro-
fessional element to let commission
house purchasers have stocks, and sub
sequently while Sugar was tumbing
and call money reached per cent,
prices were freely offered down. Stand
ard stocks, while easing with the drift
of the market, receded in an orderly
manner and the reaction in those secur-
tiles from the best did not exceed three
points except in special cases. Money
on call toward the close eased with the
last loan at 4 and offered at s, but the
market failed to respond to the chang
ed conditions due to the supply of mon

Brooklyn Transit was coincident with |
published interview with the presi-
dent of the Brooklyn Elevated railroad |
to the effect that an exchange of a ma |
Jority of the Brooklyn Elevated stock |
for Brooklyn Transit stock had been
arranged. The advance in Union Pa
ciflc and New York Central was timed |
with the announcement of the return
of the leading interest in Vanderbilt
stocks and gave rise to a renewal of ru-
mors that Union Pacific might be alb
sorbed by the New York Central. The
opinion was expressed, because Of the
action of the market that the rise in
London, which was a purchaser at the
opening only, was manipulated from
this side to facilitate the liquidation
which was evident In the market.
