STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York March 21.--There were inn
pressive elements of strength in the
stock market today, due to the large and
confident buying of some of the railroad
stocks. The market was not very broad
the demand being restricted to compare
lively few stocks, and there was not
much evidence of what is called in Wal,
Street public interest in the stock mar
ket The buying was undoubtedly based
however, on the expectation that the
public will shortly come into the stock
market, and apparently the present move
ment has been inaugurated with view
10 affording an object lesson in increas-
ing values. the outside public usually
coming in only when prices are invitingiy
low. The price movement today was
actively manipulated and was carefully
nursed. 1t is based primarily upon the
generally prosperous conditions of busl-
ness, the high level of railroad earnings
which is being maintained, and the
symptoms of an early relaxation in the
money market. While the movement
thus far is confined to the taking on of
stocks by wealthy professional operators

or by insiders in the various properties
it is to be remembered that SUCH
movement is a necessary forerunnef or
the broader and more comprehensive ad-
vance which comes with an active specu-
lation. The feversion of the Third Ave
nue. to the strong hands of the Metro
politan affords lot little relief to all
circles in Wall Street AZ not only remoV-
ing a disturbing influence from the stock
market but business circles generally
The speculative movement today hau
some basis in the relief afforded by
this development in Third Avenue al
fairs. The shorts in this stock spent an
other bad day today, the price running
up to tt2 and f1uctuating between that

active but showed a notable tendency
towards relapse late in the day. The
convincing evidence that Third Avenue
stock is cornered leads to diligent eff
forts on the part of the bear operators

ment. The possibility of such a result
makes the professional traders timid and
cautious about operating in the stock
after the recent violent advance There
was disposition to refrain from active
operations elsewhere in the list while
Third Avenue was going through it's
erratiy changes. 1t was after the stock
had become rather quiet that the aa-
gressive demand developed for the Pa
cities, including Missouri Pacific and
Southern Pacific, the Baltimore and Ohio
stocks. Pennsylvania and Norfolk and

New York, March 21.-Bear speculation
governed the cotton market today al
most from the start and prices eased Off
to about the low point reached on Mon
day. The opening was steady with prices
unchanged to five points lower. A rapid
decline followed on late cables telling Of
steady losses in Liverpool market under
liquidation and Southern crop accounts
doomed up bearshly. The opening figures
proved to be top of the day. as, while
there were several feeble rallies, the
feeling was bearish and selling orders ex-
ceeded demand. Receipts were consid-
erably in excess of early estimates,
Southern markets showed no further
gains of Importance and the investment
public manifested no further desire to
re-enter the market at the present stand

OF see-saw nature, though averaging
against the market. Trading was not
active and consisted principally of pro-
fessional interchanges. The close was
steady with near months TO II points

The money that labor earns is not
the property of labor, but a mere loan
granted him to sustain life. If the
money is his, why can he not keep it?
He must pay it all over to a common
fund or starve. If he has a small sur
plus, and keeps what he earns, his
wages are reduced by the amount he
withdraws from circulation. How
could labor exist without returning to
capital the money earned in wages?
If labor kept all it earned, there would
be none in circulation to pay more
wages. This is true and it always will
be true until labor is permitted to pro-
duce money, which will become an ac-
cretion to the circulating medium, and
an increase of wages by the amount Of
the increase. This is the whole finan-
cial question in nutshell so far as la
bor is concerned.

Chinese Do not Want Opiu,n

The Chinese on the west coast of
New Zealand have united with Eng
lish colonists to hold meetings. form
q committee and petition parliament
to suppress the import of opium into
the country. The Chinese are fewer
in number there than they formerly
were, almost all the opium used is
consumed by them for smoking pur
poses, and this degrading habit is in
creasing not only among themselves,
but among the European youths of
the colony, They, therefore, beg the
government to limit and control the
import of the drug. Almost all right
thinking men and women feel sym
pathy with these people in their en-
deavor to check the use of the vile
drug We do not want to have upon
our conscience any of the reproach
that still clings to the mother country
concerning the forced introduction of
opium into China. a.-Corresrondence

Who can say, after reading the fol-
lowing, taken from the Baltimore
News, that mans memory for feminine
wear is not discriminating and ac-
curate. A southern family, not over
burdened with wealth, was blessed
with six daughters. They were all in
genious-the kind of girls to make a
dress in the midst of fun and chaff, and
dance in it at night. The cleverest
daughter recently made a beautiful
shade for the piano lamp from pink
evening dress, and trimmed it with
roses from her last summers hat. The
same evening young man called on
her, and to low-tuned music they
chatted. How do you like our new
lamp-shade?" she asked demurely.

From the Kansas City Star: Doubt
less Mark Hanna is skillful political
manager and organizer, but his great
ness does not go to the extent of show
ing to himself what his limitations
are. He is not good speechmaker.
He probably never delivered an ad-
dress that did not harm the cause he
advocated. He made some foolish re-
marks on trusts at Cleveland, the pur-
port of which were: TRUSTS are all
right; they are good things and need
to be fostered rather than restrained.
But even if they are bad, the Repub-
lican party is the best one to give the
country relief from them" That is
