 THE STOCK MARK EFT.
Attention Diverted 10 Fluctuations of a
 Small Number of Stocks.

| Small Number of Stocks.
 New York, March 5.-Attention in the
 stock market to-day continued to be largely diverted to fluctuations of a
 small number of stocks Manipulation
 by the bears was largely responsible for the changesl In the case of Sugar the 1 operations of the professional traders were interrupted by the unexpected &C., tion of the directors in declaring a quarterly dividend of only 11a per cent on the common stock. This sudden tearing aside of the veil of mystery | rather nonplussed the professional trad CTS who had counted upon a period of uncertainty until Wednesday in which to circulate vague tips and to keep up
 an excited fluctuation in the stock with opportunity for profit both up and down. The cutting in half of the divi- dend was about what Wall street senti-
 ment had settled upon. But coming suddenly upon the half executed plans
 of the speculative contingent it left
 them all at sea. The stock fell nearly 2
 points and encountered very vigorous
 support and was rallied to 1O51s by
 noon. A 2,OO0 share lot was taken at that price when the news became known of the divident action Selling for both accounts immediately followed and the price elumped by wide breaks with oc- casional spasmodic rallies to 97. Fluc- tuations were very wild on the recovery to par. The flood of offerings prevented
 the rise above that, but reaction to 97 brought large buying in order again. The enormous sale of stock reached 62,- 900 shares.
 The stock market gave evidence of it's relief over the settlement of this dis turbing question by smart rally many of the railroads rising to the best prices of the day. The market was again un- settled in the late dealings by an attack on Steel Hoop, Peoples Gas and Con- solidated Gas, driving them down to points. New York Central reacted 1A, but otherwise the railroad list was little affected and retained fair sprinklng of net gains Third Avenue, after hav- ing risen to 5SA, was forced down to 54 in the late dealings, and Tennessee Coal also yielded to pressure. A quota tion of BE per cent. was made for call mon- ey in the course of the late bear raid on stocks
 The money market during the day showed no sign of disturbance and there was no evidence of liquidation being forced by the calling of leans. London was not factor in this market, holding aloof from speculation pending the pre- sentation of the war budget to the house of commons. The money rate hardened in London and in Berlin, and the influences from foreign markets were on the side of depression. Fur ther reports of railroad net earnings for January showed extraordinary in- creases, but the gross earnings for the fourth week in February did not show gains as those for the third week. dt
 The bond market was rather dull and irregular. The total sales par value ag- gregated $.1,760,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged in big quotations.

STOLE FROM STUDENTS.

Frederick Root Took Two Watches and
 Chain Friday Night.
 Detective Sergeant Dennehy and De- tective Donnelly last night arrested Frederick Root on the charge of steal ing gold watch and chain and silver watch from the anteroom of Yale so- ciety whose rooms are in the Hoadley building.
 A number of students were in the rooms of the society Friday night and remained until early Saturday morning. When the students went home the above articles were missed and the losses were reported to the police. A description of a man who was seen in the building late Friday night was giv- efl and the case was turned over to De- tectives Dennehy and Donnelly. Yes terday they saw man answering some what the description given and followed him down State street. The man was recognized as a former prisoner and he was closely watched. He acted suspi- ciously and was finally arrested and taken to police headquarters On being sarched a gold watch and chain and also a silver watch were found on his person. The articles were later identi- fled by the owners
 Root is twenty-seven years of age and has a long police record. In 1890 he was arrested for theft, and year later Detective Sergeant Dennehy arrested him for burglary and he was sentenced to state prison for a year. In 1897 De- tective Donnelly arrested Root on the charge of theft and this time he was given three years. He was released from jail about a month ago.

mERElY'A PARALLEL

Once upon a time a colored preacher
of the old school was discoursing on
the Creation to a large, interested and
sympathetic audience which was spell
bound by his graphic portrayal of the
attending that great
event.
"Bruddern un' sistern," he said, lin
six days de Lord made hebben an
earth, de sea an all dat in dem IL, an
on de sixth day he made Adam an Eve
outten clay an sot 'em up agin' de
fence to dryl"
AT this juncture a young colored
man of inquiring turn Of mind, whC
occupied a place in the rear Of the
auditorium, arose and asked:
"Bruoder Jones, who made da
fence?"
The aged preacher Strengthened him
self up, looked at his questioner severe
ly, and said:
You set down dar, niggahl Who's
doin' dis talkin?"
And he sat down.
This reminds us very much of thl
declarations, questions and answer
that characterize Mr.. Bryan's Demo
cratic gospel meetings Of the Presen
day.

William Jennings Bryan came here
to make votes for himself. His mis-
sion was failure. The people of Del
aware rushed out to see him; they

demand the reelection of Mckinley,
whose prosperity and patriotism are
preferable to Mr.. Bryan's promises
