STOCK MARKET GOSSIP.
Hopes Expressed That There VIII Be
Greater Activity This Week.

NEW YORK, April 29-The stock mar
ket during the past week has been dull
and devoid of interest, but there are evil
dences that more business will be done in
the coming week. Prices during the re-
cent decline reached the lowest level since
the December crash. and in some instances
We're even as low as at that time, but
careful people state that this last slump
was caused entirely by the Steel and Wiie
scandal and that the effects OF this are
wearing off. 1t seems not improbable that
the steel securities may continue weak
fer time longer, but The railway list gen.
orally Is now entitled to good rally.
Railway earnings during the first three
weeks of April increased IL per cent over
the corresponding period of last year 1t
is needless to state 20 people familiar with
railway history that this continued great
increase in business and in profits is
bullish argument of the finest kind. Ex-
ports of grain and cotton and of manu-
features continue immense. The outlook
is that there will be a far better grain
yield this year than last. The cotton crop
is likely TO be large as far as anyone can
know at this time and prices will GER
tainly be good. There is a fine prospect
of big business in the export of coal at
good prices.
Money is TO continue cheap for a long
time TO come. as is evidenced by the bank
statement yesterday. Banks and trust
companies in New York quote 2 per cent
as the minimum rate for call loans, though
early in the week bank loans were gener
ally at 1-2 per cent. Not much business
is done in time contracts. the offerings be-
ing liberal for short dates and only mod
crate for long periods, while the enquiry
is largest for the latter and small for the
former. Quotations on good mixed stock
exchange collateral are 3 per cent for six
ty to ninety days, and 12 and per cent
for four months or for longer periods, the
rate being governed by the character of
the security. Only small business is
done in commercial paper among the New
York city banks. the buying being princi-
pally by out-of-town institutions, chiefly
in Eastern cities.

PoTrsVILLE, Pa. April 2s.-Paul VOL
Young and John Hauptby had thrilling
escape from death yesterday while robbing

the top OF tall pine tree. Hauptby arm
ed himself with a club and climbed to the
nest.
Just as he was about to take the eggs
he was attacked by six hawks. They
struck him in the face with their beaks.
and beat him with their wings Hauptby
defended himself until he weakened, and
then when the birds made a fresh attack on
him he fell. lodging in the lower branches
of the tree.
Woll-Ioung went 10 his companions as
sistance and then climbed up to the nest
only 10 receive the same treatment as
Hauptby. Both are full grown men, but
they were so cut and bruised about the
face. eyes, hands. and reck that they
