The general list thls morning was some

The general list this morning was some
what weak at first, but later developed
considerable strength which many believed
might be the fCrerunner OF good recoV-
cry, especially in the railways. Specuia-
ton in the ihdustrials and specialties con-
linued active and erratic with little appar-
ent reason for the different movements.
The New York Traction issues were all
weak. especially Metropolitan. The Tobac-
co Issues were even mere buoyant than
yesterday during the first half hour CT
more all making new high price records
and the steel stocks were active with small
net changes in price. II is such market
as may develop into almost anything, but
careful observers are of the opinion that
the railway securities have been bought
steadily b. important interests during the
past two days, and that this weakness IN
the traction securities may have been
ruse to allow both shorts and longs to pur-
chase stocks. II this is the right analysis
Of the market an important recovery may
be looked for at any time. The long side
is undoubtedly the more attractive at this
level.
The squirt in the Tobacco issues has at
tanned 10 such proportion as to be mat
ter of much interest, if not Importance.
American Tobacco sold this morning at
126, which is equal to 252 on the basis of
three months ago, before the stock divi-
Gend of 100 was made. Continental To-
baceo common sold above 30, also a new
high price, and the preferred was very
strong The news regarding the Tobac-
co Trust is mostly hearsay, and may not
have any foundation in facts. One state
ment is that the Continental preferred
stock is to receive a dividend. perhaps
l S-4 per cent for the past quarter, and
perhaps 3 1-2 for the first half year of its
existence. Much skepticism is expressed
over the report of the latter figure, and
there are not wanting people who believe
that no dividend whatever will be declar-
ed Naturally the larger dividend would
be an inducement for the purchase Of
American Tobacco stock as we'll as Conti-
mental. as the two companies are so close
together as to be one for all practical pur-
poses, such as manipulation of stocks. An
other story in the Street is that the Conti-
mental has purchased the Buchanan & Ly-
all Company which was incorporated a
short time ago, ostensibly to fight the
trust

prices of yesterday but did not seem in

the opinion of many that a rally would

Monday night after a long illness. During
the valley campaign, which resulted in Gen.
eral Early's defeat, Moss services were in

OF the ground around. Dressed in the uni
form of Confederate soldier. he gained
the confidence of Southern sympathizsrs,
and the information gained from them OF
the Confederates' movements were inval-

his success. He expected large remunera-

hundred feet above the lake, which gives
a beautiful view of its surroundings. This
land at one time produced as heavy crops
and OF as good quslity as any farm In
Barnard; but change OF owners and an
nually selling on all the hay has resulted
in its present condition. House uninhabit-
ed, barns dropping down, pastures never
used have grown to weeds and bushes.
The orchards neglected, trees are rapidly
dying and those large smooth moving
fields are fast yielding to the inroads OF
the wild cherry and poplar, where once
grew the talltimothy and thick clover. All
the grass standing sold this year for 20
dollars. 1t has bad look ana we hurry
on up the bill, where we come to what
should he known as Barnard's folly. Here
is large farm of 200 acres that the town
of Barnard bought of John Gale, sixty
years ago, paying three thousand dollars
in year that real estate was cheap.
Building long addition to the house and
one new barn they made II farm for the
support OF the towns poor and Tor fifty
years it yielded great products under the
management OF the different oyerseers,
who we're generally chosen from the best
farmers.
The writer OF this can well remember
when at this establishment there were "a
paupers beside the Keepers family TO feed;
but at the annual appraisal In March there
would be, after wintering a large stock OF
cattle and sheep 20 tons OF old hay left in
the barns, 100 bushels OF corn,20 OF wheat,
so of oats, 10 of beans, bbls. OF pork, 2
bbls. beef, $50 bushels OF potatoes and
other produce in proportion. Now the
sole production OF this farm is the grass.
which sold the present year for the pitt
full sum OF fifteen dollars. What is the
cause About ten years ago the house
burned, and in an open town meeting
warned for the purpose the town voted
not TO build again and instructed the
selectmen to sell the old farm II they
could get a fair price and buy another as
in their judgement they thought best.
After consideration the board decided I
to sell this large productive farm, with /
no house bnt one OF the best timber lots /
in town, for 500 dollars and buy a smaller 1
one in far of corner next Pomfret line, /

How they could reconcile themselves 1
to such an arrangement seems strange;

Others would in time turn all Barnard in
10 pastures filled with bushes. IL seems
indicate fora man to censuTe his own
town, but there was no good reason why
they should hesitate to erect new build
ings, thereby having exactly what was
suited for the business, and instead OF
wiping out this grand old farm they
would have an institution OF great credit
not only for themselves but to the county
and state.
