 Football Committee to Hold Important
 Meeting in New York Soon.
 It was announced on the campus last night that the rules committee of the Intercollegiate Football association, consisting of Walter Camp of this city Paul Dashiel of Annapolis and R. D. Wrenn of Boston, will meet some time during the latter part of this week in New York for the purpose of making changes In the rules for the season of 1900.
 It has been understood for long time that some of the leading colleges and several of the minor ones desired some radical changes in the rules, and re- quests to send In suggestions for changes were made to the football au- thorities in nearly all of the eastern col leges. It is not thought that the com mittee will make any changes in the scoring system, as the system has given general satisfaction for the last two years.
 All football enthusiasts will look for ward to the result of the meeting of the committee with much interest as this will doubtless be the only meeting for the purpose of a revision.

D velops aM Impressive show of
 Strength.

D vrlops aM impressive show of
 Strength.
 New York. April 26.-The stock mar ket developed an impressive show of strength during the latter part of to- day. The principal influence in the rise was a resumption of the upward move- ment in Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio stocks The recent reaction in these stocks has been accompanied by rumors that important speculative interests, which had been prominent in the advance, had sold out and taken their profits. The news of the very heavy outlays in prospect for perma- nent betterments and increased equip ment awakened some apprehension of dividend increases being indefinitely postponed not only on Pennsylvania stock, but on Baltimore and Ohio, and many others which have been subject of rumors of increased dividends. But to- day the reports of a probable increase in the Pennsylvania dividend rate took form again and was circulated with great explicitness.
 Bids were made on the board for tle next semi-annual dividend on Pennsyl- yania on thousands of shares oI stock at 2% per cent, compared with 2k per cent, the last rate The meeting of the directors for the purpose of fixing the dividend rate is fixed for Tuesday next These reports in regard to Pennsylvania had the most direct influence on the Baltimore and Ohio stocks, next to Penusylyania itself but the whole rail- road list responded in varying degree to the influence of this movement. The pools whose operations for a rise were interrupted by the steel and wire cpl sode resumed their operations to some extent This was notably true of the Gould Southwestern group, which are subjects of teeming rumors of prospec-

tive cOmblna tiOnS or concentrations.
 The determined firmness of Sugar and its bpoyant upturn later had sympa- thetic effect orl the market The move ment Is still attributed to the demand from the shorts, but the doubt which always hangs over affairs of this com pany gives force to the many assertions of favorable developments in the trade war. number of unusually favorable railroad statements also had strength ening effect on the market. Increases in net earnings for March were report ed by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe of 53 per cent, by the Hooking Val- ley railway of 105 per cent and by the Central of Georgia of 30 per cent. Re- turns of gross earnings for the third week in April were also uniformly fa- vorable. These factors of strength caus- ed growing uneasiness among the rather unwieldy short interests, and the de- mand from that element had no small part In the rally in the market.
 The unsteadiness of the sterling eX- change market to-day gave ground for renewed doubt as to the continuance, for the present, of the gold export move ment. The strong return of the Bank of England for the week, as well as that the Imperial Bank of Germany, had some effect on the exchange market. The sub- treasury'k k debit balance at the clearing house showed a further decline to-day, falling to S300,119. compared with the recent average of over a million dollars. If this replenishment to the money market is cut off it may serve to prevent the outward flow of gold.
 The bond market showed increasing activity and strength torday The total sales par value were $2,SS0, 900.
 United States bonds Were unchanged in bid quotations.
