Past Weeks Weather.

and prospects were, up to last Satur-

be seeding. Saturday night it be-
gan to rain, turning to snow, and
Sunday morning the ground was
covered by about four inches of soft
snow which mostly all melted Sun
day. .
Sunday and Monday nights there
was light fall of snow. Tuesday
night heavy fall, showing all day
Wednesday, subsiding in the evening,
with light fall during the night.
The air was calm and. the snow quite
damp, so there was no drifting. Tenn
perature mild, melting considerable.
There must have been fully ten
inches fell since Saturday night.
The fall was very timely as the
ground was very dry and needed
the moisture. The ground being in
such a condition that when the emo "
melts it will soak in instead of run
ming off as it usually does in the
spring.

MERGENTHALER's DIVIDEND.
Business in the Local stock Market
Brisk Yesterday.

The local stock market was surprised
yesterday by the announcement Of the
usual per cent dividend on Mergenthaler
Linotype stock. a week or more in advance
Of the usual time Of the directors meeting
The dividend was announced as a regular
dividend of - per cent and an extra"
Of 2 - per cent. in accordance with the
method adopted recently. The expla-
nation was made for the earlier meet
ing that some of the directors intend to
sail for Europe before next week.
There has been some comment during
the past two months over the possibility
that the dividend would be cut at this
meeting. but il has received little attention
IN wcil-informed quarters. As has been
stated in The Times heretofore the bust
ness Of the company is more nourishing
than ever before
McrCeuthaler stock has been particularly
active in the local stock market recently,
and until a few days ago it was trihe

While the baseball outlook for the COM

aging as last year, still there are good
reasons TO think that In the end she will
have a team in the field capable Of up
holding her honor. The loss of four old
players-Stutsman, third base; Bumgard-
ner. left field; Brooks first base. and
Davis, shortstop-is a serious handicap,
but it is the general belief that the new
candidates with the experience they have
had and hard practice will make credit
able showing. The exact makeup of the
team has not been decided upon as yet
The first game of the season will be
played with the Washington Young Mems
