The evening times., 1899-03-22

The tone of the stock market this morn
ing was strong, although there was MOTH
ing sensational about the buying of stocks.
1t is a clearly dscernibie fact that the
standard stocks are held tenaciousiy by
the leaders and the public, IN the firm
conviction that they will have no further
declines of Importance. Also on all dips
they are bought by the leaders, which Is
still more hopeful sign because IL indi-
Gates that the hope for q bull market IN
the near future is held by these gentle
men. The early trading today differed from
that of yesterday in the fact that while
the centres of interest were still the rapid
ly moving stocks like Sugar and Tobacco,
these stocks were steadieT than they were
yesterday. Sugar had an advance at the
opening and then shaded of point or two
but seemed to receive support around 16o.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit opened of and
then began to climb. The remainder of the
list was up fractionaliy. The money ques-
tion had not developed in the morning
/ hours but il is thought likely that and 6
per cent may be the ruling rate for sew
/. eral days which may prevent any good
advance in the general list for the present.
The coalers were the features of the
market, aside from the stock heretofore
mentioned Reading first preferred was
very strong and soon had reached 67 and
a fraction. The others of this group were
also strong. AS has been said before in
this column several times recently. the
friends of these stocks expect TO see a
good advance in them at any time. An
nouncements regarding the anthracite coal
roads deal will probably be made immedi-
ately after the adjournment of the New
Jersey Legislature
Steel and Wire, common and preferred,
were both very strong this morning, as
they were yesterday afternoon. There is
unquestionably buying by the insiders
around the present prices. The break in
the common stock was points, but since
the stock reached its lowest figure ii has
been picked up at every dip.
Peoples Gas was strong this morning
and the buying by Mr.. Flower and other
friends of the stock was good. In the opin-
ion of careful speculative people the stock
| is getting ready to have a good advance
shortly. 1t is now al the top prices in its
history, but this does not deter those who
understand the position of the company,
| and who expect that the entire market is
| at the beginning of fine boom in prices.
Tennessee Coal and Iron was tri1e off
| in price at the opening today, but there
was no suspicion of weakness In the stock.
| The rumors that there is to be combina-
| tion between this company and the Federal
Steel concern have been denied, by Federal
| Steel officials but they are still heard on
the street. Buying of Coal and Iron by
| people understood to be identified with
| the Federal Steel interest was taken as a
| good indication that the denials were for
policy only. all

Lnndslides on Railroad Tracks.

Bordentown, N. j., March 22.-Owing to
the recent heavy rains a large amount Of
sand, clay, and gravel slid from the hill
side of Commodore Stewart's property, near
this place, about o'clock this morning and
blockaded the Camden and Amboy tracks
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Had it not
been for the prompt action of the railroad
men in putting up danger signals pas
senger train would have probably been
badly wrecked. The slide occurred at the
apex of a curve and the engineer of the
train would not have been able to see it
until almost upon it. Traffic was delayed
for over an hour.

HON. JOHN W. NYCE
Postmaster and Attorney at Law. Cald-
well. Kansas

When VIM. Penn in good faith and
honesty entered into a treaty with the
dusky natives of North America by
which he secured from them that por
tiOn of this fertile land named after
this noble pioneer, he laid the founda
ton for a race Of noblemen, whose no.
bility did not consist of high sounding
but empty titles and ign0miROus deeds,
but rather of those high and noble
principles, truth and honesty, which
have been the guiding impulses Of all
worthy citizens. Upon these principles
he founded a great commonwealth
which has produced some Of our best
examples of American manhood and
sent them out into the boundless prai-
ries of the fertile west.
Among the worthy and respected citi-
zens Of Sumner county of this class is
Mr.. John w. Nyce, .jw postmaster at
Caldwell. Mr.. Nyce is a native of
Pennsylvania, where he was reared
and educated. He then devoted mis- en-
ergies to reading law, and in 1877 was
admitted 10 the bar in Pike county,
Pennsylvania. There he practiced uR-
til 1879, when he was elected district at
tOrney. He served in this position for
two years, when he resigned and came
west to Caldwell.
Shortly after arriving here he was
admitted to the bar, but instead Of TAX
ing up the profession he engaged in the
stock business for one year. Upon the
organization Of the Stock Exchange
bank at Caldwell he became one Of its
directors, and was also appointed as
sistant cashier, position he held un-
til 1885, when he was promoted to cash
ier. This position he held until 1895,
when he resigned and took up the prac-
tice Of law. He followed his profession
until 1897, when he was appointed post
master. Mr.. Nvce is one Of Caldwelrs
most progressive citizens, and few men
have done more to advance the inter-
ests of the city. That his services were
appreciated by the people is evidenced
by the fact of his election as mayor for
two years, president of the board of
education, city attorney ana city clerk.
Mr.. Nyce was also clerk of the district
court of Sumner county. He has al
ways been a staunch Republican, help
ing to fight the battles of his party
whenever he could, rejoicing in ner vic
tories and bearing her defeats with
manly resignation. Few men are more
popular, and the esteem in which he is
held has been earned by an industrious
enterprising and honorable career. Mr..
Nyce affiliates with the |. o. o. F., A.
o. L. w. and Masonic orders, being a
Knight Templar and "Shriner."

ty-eight years, eighteen of which has
been in Caldwell. For sometime he was

secured during these years made pos

II is now an exploded idea that any

branches of business, demands that II
