STOCK MARKET
 MADE A BIG SHOW Caused By Continued Upward Movement in Railroads. RUMORS CAUSED REACTION Unsteadiness ofsterling Exchange Gave Ground For Renewed Doubt as to Continuance of the Gold
 Export Business
RUMORS CAUSED REACTION

New York, April 26-The stock market developed an impressive show of strength during the latter part of today. The po- tent influence in the rise was a resumption of the upward movement in Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio stock. The re- cent reaction in these stocks has been accompanied by rumors that important speculative interests which had been prom inent in the advance had sold out and taken their profits.
 The news of the very heavy outlays in prospect for permanent betterment and increased shipments awakened some ap- prehension of dividend increases being in definitely postponed not only on Penn sylvania stock but on Baltimore and Ohio, and many others which have been subject to rumorssof increased dividends, but to- day the report of probable increase in the Pennsylvania dividend rate took form again, and was circulated with great ex- plicitness Bids were made on the board for the next semi-annual dividend on Pennsylvania on thousands of stock at 2a. per cent, compared with 21a per cent, the last rate. The meeting of the directors for the purpose of fixing the devidend rate is fixed for Tuesday next
 The unsteadiness of the sterling ex- change market today gave ground for re- newed doubt as to the continuance for the present of the gold export movement. The strong return of the Bank of England for the week as we'll as that of the imperial bank of Germany had some effect on the exchange market. The sub-treasury's debt balance at the clearing house showed further decline today, failing to $300119 as compared with the recent average of over million dollars. If this replenshment to the money market is cut off it may serve to present the outward flow of gold.
 The bond market showed increasing ac- tivity and strength today. Total sales, par yalue g, ,3S0, GOO. United States bonds were unchanged in bid quotations. + New York, April 26.-Money on call steady at 2Q2A per cent; last loan at 21a per cent

Murphy & Uompany.s stock Letter

New York, April 26.-The stock market opened quiet. but with a very firm tone, advances being common both in railroad list and in the industrial quarter. Sugar Refining was an exceptional at the opening of business, the stock breaking sharply, but it subsequently, rallied with equal rap idity. The remainder of the industrial quarter was neglected, with the exception of American Tobacco, which was decidedly strong. The dealings were heaviest in the railway list, and the strong features there were the Wabash issues, Pennsylvania, Missouri Pacific and Texas Pacific and the Baltimore and Ohio stocks.
 . The tone of the market at the opening was to some extent in sympathy with the London market for American stocks, which was shown at a higher level as compared with the local closing of yesterday and a very firm tone was reported. Speculative interest naturally centered around Sugar i in view of its rapid rise and violent flunc- tuations yesterday, but nothing definite came to light regarding that stock either. A feature of the market was the unusual activity in the bond department. where firm tone prevailed, notably for the Wa bash 'B' bonds on rumors that a dividend will be declared on these bonds in June.

COTTON MARKET :
 RATHER NARROW. Conflicting RumorS Regarding Number of May Notices. THIS WAS A BULLISH FACTOR Prices Opened One Point Higher to Two Lower and Moved Up Gem
 orally Several Points on
 Small Receipts
THIS WAS A BULLISH FACTOR

New York, April 26.-Within rather narrow scope of fluctuations and with a moderate volume of transactions. the cot ton market was interesting largely owing to the conflicting rumors regarding the number of May notices to be issued and guesses regarding their effect on the mar ket. It later transpired that May notices were not as numerous as expected. They were promptly taken care of mostly by exporters to be shipped to Liverpool. The notice" feature became a bullish rather than bearish factor, and exerted posi- tive influence later in the session.
 The market opened with prices 1 point higher to 2 lower and moved up generally points on smaller receipts.
 Public support was lacking, however, and prices by noon had drifted back to about the opening, the easier turn being promptly accounted for by better weather conditions. Again the market rallied and without being active in the afternoon showed considerable frmness, chiefly on the attitude of exports respecting deliver ies.
 The market resisted several energetic bear raids. Closed quiet and steady at a net advance of 1Q5 points. :

 Futures opened about 11a points higher on old and unchanged on new crop, but closed at last nights prices on former std f1a points down on latter. The early adviees from Liverpool were favorable, but this market opened somewhat lower and ruled weak after the call under rather general selling, particularly of May delivery, owing to notice of delivery. Receipts at ports are small. Bombay receipts this week are also quite moderate, only 12,60D bales vs. 16,0O0 last year. The indications are that tne sta tistics tomorrow at Liverpool will show a large decrease from last week. Weather conditions in the south are favorable, ex- cept local rains at points ia Texas To- ward noon prices became firmer and the early decline was recovered, due to the stoppage of May notices. that delivery is now IS points over August against 13 points premium early today.

THE vIADUCT PROPOSITION.

The Coal avenue viaduct proposition
Is now before the people. Its erection
will cost the city SIS, 900. and the keep
ing in repair of the structure after
completion. The Santa Fe Railroad
company offers to pay one-half the es-
timated cost OF the viaduct, SIS, 900. and
IL the city votes to pay for one-half
the viaduct. agrees further to erect a
large hotel. and passenger and freight
depots here. and II IL expected that
these improvements will lead to others
on the part Of the railroad company.
II Is the necessary duty Of the people to
vote for the erection OF this viaduct.
In act Ii appears plain TO those who
have studied the situation that this Is
the beginning Of a new era OF prosper
lty for the city. Here are located the
shops OF this great railroad company.
II this improvement Is made, 1t will
naturally lead to the enlargement OF
these shops. II the measure Is defeat
ed, the railroad company would not
feel friendly to the city. and he old
depot buildings might be allowed to
remain as they are for years, and the
shops could be gradually decreased,
and Albuquerque made a way station
on the great highway. The business
men and property owners should or
ganize and do everything in their pow
er to make the vote unanimously in
favor Of this greatly needed improve
ment. At present there does not APP
pea to be any serious opposition TO
the proposition.

LEST WE

While the people are listening to pro-
testatlons OF economy and reform from
the democrats. II Is well to not forget
their record in this territory In the
past.
Under carpet-bag judges from the
south the courts during the Cleveland
administration were prostituted to par
tisan politics. In this county justice
was a farce, and corruption was the
rule.
The nances Of the territory and OF
the several counties were at the low
est ebb. Territorial warrants were at
a heavy discount. and the debt was
largely increased at a heavy rate OF
interest. The republican legislature OF
three years ago passed a bill chopping
on useless expenditures. and making 1t
impossible 10 increase the debt OF cOun.
ties and cities. The last legislature
which was republican. funded the ter,
~ritorial debt at four per cent, and a
present there Is over $500, 900 in cash il
the territorial treasury. This countl
has funded It's debt at foul per cent
and will soon begin TO reduce lis in
debtedness.
Inuef u|efnotfdllc RUE TX Was lht Gus
tom for county officials 10 be default
ers. In nearly every county where thel
obtained control during the Cleyelan,
regime. the county treasury was loote'
in a bare-faoed way.
When the democrats run things II
this territory their leaders had an In
satlable desire to stun the ballot boXe
and commit frauds at the elections
They cannot break themselves Of thi
pernicious habit. as was clearly show
az the recent city election, when a
least fifty republican voters wer
cheated out OF a chance TO vote b.
leaving their names on the certihe,
lists OF registration. The democrat
think this Is a certain and sure wa,
Ia win elections and they will do 1
whenever they control election Judge
and registration boards. They learne.
the habit from the southern states AM
have followed. 1t in this territory when
ever they have had a chance.
Lest we forget, IL is well TO bea
these things IN mind when the demo
cratic curbstone reformers wall abou
republican corruption.
