NEW YORK. March 2l-Third Avenue
Railroad stock continued TO command a
premium in the loan market today. an
Indication that the short account. while
doubtless heavily reduced. is as vel not
altogether eliminated. The stoakagainoc cu-
pied the most conspicuous position no the
market an early advance of over ten
points taking place in the stock In the
initial dealings. Conjecture as TO the
losses and the more extensive losers was
again active. and the interest felt in this
regard seemed to be rather more acute
than that taken in the actual future OF
the property. Little or nothing that was
new in this last regard developed with
the course OF the day. The moral effect
OF the Third Avenue episode was plainly
reflected in the general dealings Not only
was there further heayg covering Of short
contracts in various quarters OF the market
but there was a marked increase IN out
side interest and, further. more agrees
sive manipulation in certain directions
than has bsen witnessed in many months.
Little that was new Of general importance
developed.
The money market was active. but most
OF the borrowing on call was effected
at yesterdays level London houses traded
very actively IN this market. and an bal
ances purchased a round amount OF inter
nationally listed stocks. The more extern
sive movements in prices were again in
local traction issues and in stocks such as
Peoples Gas, and others OF more or
less speculative grade. but material ad-
vances were scored also In the railway
list The conspicuous features there were
Southern Pacific. the Baltimore and Ohio
Issues, particularly the common stock.
Wheeling and Lake Erie, and Northern
Pacific The favorable interest taken In
these securities seemed to be based alto
gether upon consideration Of their earn
Ing power and consequent possible dividend
payments. The particular strength Of
Northern Pacific common was attended by
statements that the management OF the
company regarded its position as sufi-
GENTLY assured to place the common stock
upon a definite 4 per cent basis Appear
anoes OF irTegIlarty were not wanting
IN the market and the days dealings were
indeed marked by some uncertainty and
by some rather jerky fluctuations A much
more cheerful temper however. was dis
cernible. and his was reflected In the
general diversificatiou Of business and
other evidences OF a broadening outside
interest.

CHICAGO. March 2l.--Wheat was firm

Of steady cables and crop damage reports

turned easier in the last hour selling for
some account. There was very little out

$50, 900 bushels and at the seaboard 20
loads
Today's corn range was only 14c. To-

There has been very little shipping in
them, practically no business at all The
speculative position has also been dull.
Corn has felt, in IA measure, the weakness

Oats were steady, but duh. They closed
a little better than Tuesday notwith-

FOURTH BERKELEY SERMON

Preached in Trinity Church on Sunday
 Night by Rev Dr. Brent of Boston.
 The fourth sermon under the auspices of the Berkeley association was preach ed in Trinity church Sunday night by Rev. Dr. Charles H. Brent of Boston. These sermons which are especially for the students of Yale university, are al- ways of great interest to the members of Trinity church, and Sunday night was no exception, the church being crowded with parishioners. A large number of Yale undergraduates listened to the sermon, the center aisle being reserved for them.
 pr. Brent impressed upon the minds of the young men the importance of Christian work through their college course, and showed some of the many ways college man might interest him. self in the great work. of God. He said that man must not forget his religion when he starts out into the world, but must keep it up, as a clerk, engineer, salesman. professional man or whatever branch of life he undertakes.
 The preacher said that the man who performed the Christian part of his life just as surely as man who performs every duty in his business career faith fully will be rewarded by his employer. The sermon was one that will long re- main in the hearts of all who heard it.
