FINANCE and TRADE.


NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Com
mercial Advertisers London financial
cablegram says:
There was scarcely any business in
the markets here to-day, except clos
ing books before the holidays. The
tone was dull on the tightness of mon
ey and impatience with the inaction of
General Roberts.
Americans were heavy for the start
but there was little movement in them
till the afternoon, when they broke
sharply on New York sales, closing
decidedly weak. The only stock New
York supported was Baltimore & Ohio,
which London now avoids, regarding
the stock as entirely under Speyer con-
troll.
No gold was taken or received. The
bank did large business In loans at
per cent for the week. 1t is using
loan money for discounting six months
paper This is unpopular with the
market, as it means keeping money
tight.
NEW YORK, April 11.-Money on
call steady at 3@31a per cent; last loan
at 31a per cent.
Prime mercantile paper 4A@5 per
cent.
Sterling exchange strong with actual
business in bankers bills at $4.S712 for
demand, and at $4.839s for sixty days;

Real heroines are not as scarce as the
story books would have the public be-
lieve. Scarcely a metropolitan newspa-
per is printed which somewhere does not
contain the doings of heroine, young,
middle aged or old. But unlike the hero

may be as homely as ginger cake and not
nearly as piquant. In a string of emer-
