Weary Trials Of the
First Piano in Gang

THE new piano was brought up on
one of the very late boats and ar
rived at Circle in good order about
the first week in September bearing
on the box the address of the man
who kept the big saloon on the cor
ner of the front street, in the same block
with the company stores.
It's advent in camp created almost hol-
iday. and the saloonman was at once sat
isfied that he had made no mistake, costly
as his purchase probably was by the time
il reached him. For three days from the
hour the thing was put up on the pedestal
prepared for IT and formally thrown open
with great eclat it did not again become
silent.
The saloon keepers wife hammered at
It most, but everybody in the town took
his turn, struck the chords he loved the
best, sang his collection of comics and
sentimentals" and gave place to the next
impresario on the keys.
On the night of the third day the place
was filled with men of the rough miner
sort. gathered in groups about the piano,
the big stove, the faro bank and along
the bar. A few women were in the crowd
near the piano which was doing its
noisiest. The group at the faro bank was
quiet and absorbed, that at the bar was
irving in drunken fashion to keep along
with the song, the smoke-blue atmos-
phere quivering under the influence of
Just tell them that you saw me and
they will know the rest;
lust tell them that I'm looking well,
you know.
In the middle of thesong the pianist was
pulled off the stool, and the next man In
the long line waiting to get whack at
the piano was pushed toward it. Though
il was the night of the third day this
stranger had not yet taken his turn al
though he had been a constant and impa-
tient attendant. This night he had taken
a drink or two more than previously. he
fell on the stool with a sigh of satisfac-
ton and hiccough. The stranger seated
himself and struck the keys with both
hands. Suddenly his face changed, he
forgot the ribald crowd about him and
with only few preliminary chords he be-

intended it should be sung, with dignity

The first verse was not finished before

NEW YORK, March 21-The profess
sional character of the trading today
was shown by the fact that of the COL 300
shares traded in nearly half were in the
two stocks which moved most erratical-
ly, Sugar and Brooklyn Transit.
Immediately after the opening the lead
ing industrials were pressed for sale
sympathetically with the sudden declines
In Sugar and Brooklyn Transit. An idea
Of the violence of the movement in the
specialties is conveyed by the fact that
Sugar dropped IA points from the high
est in the morning, and Brooklyn Tran
sit Az. Subsequently they recovered 7
points from the lowest, leaving Sugar 8
points off on the day and Brooklyn
Transit 1ss up. Accompanying the de-
cline In Sugar there was disseminated
the denial by an anonymous official of
the company that any deal with COM
petitive firms was in existence. The
early decline in Brooklyn Transit appear
ed to be caused by realizing on the an
nouncement OF the companys ABSORPTION
of Brooklyn Elevated The rally seemed
to be due to buying on advance infor-
nation that the Brighton Beach railway
had been bought in the interest of the
Transit company.
The prospect that the Third avenue
line might have to give up It's Amster-
break of 1a4 in Third Avenue, which dip
ped to 200. The general market showed
moderate sympathetic movements with
the leaders and developed weakness
when CALI money rates reached per
cent. and then rallied when money work
ed easier to per cent. The bulk of the
business was transacted around per
cent FOR call money, and time money was
up half to per cent for four to six
months on railroad collateral, with in
dustrial collateral accepted at higher
rates. Besides the financing of indus
trial combinations, there are several rea-
sons for the present stiff money rates
One is the settlement every ten days,
making six payments In all, Of a million
dollars to the government in settlement
of Central Pacific obligations Another
reason is the preparation for April divi-
dend and interest disbursements, and a
third Is a tendency to discount an IN
terror movement of money, which 1t was
calculated would last about three weeks

fluctuations closed with some improve
ments. The Pacifics, except Northern
Pacific preferred, were up fractionally,
while Central Pacific and Southern Pa
cific gained over a point each The
grangers moved but slightly either way
and the market closed with an unset
tied tone.
