Lower PRICES TIE RULE
The Stock Market Interests Few
Beside the Professionals.
The Day Almost Devoid of Important
Developments standard Railway
Issues Largely Neglected - Little
Attention Paid to the Bank state
ment Owing TO the Currency Bill.

NEW YORK, March 9.-The dealings in
today's stock market were again charac-
terized by very little Of particular or gen.
eral significance. At the opening of bust
ness lower prices were common, but sub
sequently the early losses were, for the
most part. fully recovered. The dealings
were again almost wholly for professional
account, and the professional element ap
peared 10 take the view that tomorrow's
heavy expected loss in the bank reserves
has been fully discounted. In consequence
there was a general disposition to cover
outstanding contracts, and as there were
no considerable offerings for outside ac
count, it was natural that prices should ad-
vance.
The day was almost devoid of any i'm
portsnt developments. The figures of the
dealings between the banks and the Sub
Treasury last Friday showed loss TO
the former of over s., 500, coo. but the
movement OF money otherwise, and the
changes in the loan account, were more
or less wrapped in doubt. There was again,
however, a general disposition to accord
less than the usual attention TO the bank
statement, owing TO the belief that the
operations Of the currency bill would soon
Offset the loss in cash on other accounts.
The standard railway issues were almost
wholly neglected, and the net price changes
were limited 10 small fractions. There
were the usual fluctuations in the local
traction group. and In Peoples Gas and
Sugar Refining. Nothing whatever that
was new bearing upon any of these stocks
came TO light. During the interval in
which Third Avenue affairs will be under
examination by the temporary receiver of
the property 1t is highly probable that the
street will be treated to all manner Of ru-
mors as to its condition, its prospects of
reorganization, and its ultimate DISPOSE
tion. 1t will probably repay the average
Spectator TO await the publication Of the
receivers report on "Wednesday next
Aside from Third Avenue, the local trac-
tion issues were generally depressed, pre-
sumably in advance of the report of the
franchise taxing commission. Consolidated
Gas was firm. The stockholders at their
meeting today authorized the increase in
capital stock necessary for the purchase
of the New York Gas, Electric Light, Heat
and Power Company. and the issue of an
injunction in the forenoon against the pur-
chase was announced without any effect on
the stock.
There were no other movements in the
market attracting special attention, or
which called for particular comment. An
interesting incident OF the day was the
issue Of a circular by a prominent local
banking house announcing that they had
been authorized 10 receive and forward any
applications for subscriptions TO the new
British war loan. 1t was significant. as re-
CARDS conditions in the local investment
situation, that many millions OF dollars
were subscribed TO the loan before the
close of business

DEALING IN OPTIONS WAGERING
4 Court Holds That Suit for Losses
VIII Not stand

LINCOLN, Neb.. March 9.-The Supreme
Court decided today that dealing in OF lions
on the Chicago Board of Trade was a
wagering transaction, and no suit for re-
covery CT Iosses could be maintained The
case came up from Dixon county, where a
grain buyer. who was dealing in options,
induced 4 Chicago brokerage firm to carry
him for 81, 100. He did not pay up, and
suit TO recover was brought.
The court holds that contracts for future
delivery OF grain. where no grain is trans
ferred or intended TO be delivered. are
against public policy, and therefore void
and non enforceable. The opinion says
that perhaps not ] per cent of purchases
and sales of wheat on change represent
bona fde transactions. the remainder bsing
mere speculations in the fluctuations of
the market price. The true test is held to
be the intention in the minds of parties 10
purchase for actual delivery and that the
contract would be valid even if the s lier
did not have a bushel of grain. The ques-
ton had never before been passed upon in
this State.

The Discoverer OF this Great Remedy.
1t dispels all gloom or doubt, removes all
kidney and bladder weakness. and puts life

wishes it known TO all who suffer from
any form OF nerve trouble, no matter what
it is, that ne will send free by prepaid
mail, a large, full size treatment, enough
to last two weeks, and the benefit from
just this single treatment will be the most
wonderful and welcome experience you
ever knew.

they will gladly send you free in plain

medicine absolutely free. Do not under
any circumstances miss this genuine and
philanthropic offer. Write today without
fail.
Now, when they say free they mean free,
and you won't be asked TO pay for it after
awhile, nor do they ask for references,
testimonials, or any pay whatever in any
manner or form. They want every ner-
yous suffering man or woman to try this
remarkable cure, knowing that when you
experience its great merit you will be more
likely to buy another two weeks treatment
for so cents than you would II the free
offer was tangled up with deposits, refer
ences, or some other scheme. two weeks
treatment after the first free package costs
only so cents. and at this price 1t is the
greatest advancement yet made In bringing
the cost of valuable medicine within the
reache of all.

Yesterdays stock market was dull and
undressing. like all those that have pre-
ceded it for several weeks. but during the
last half hour of the day there was a
slight revival of business and a fractional
advance in prices all over the list. As a
result the majority Of stocks showed net
gains for the day.
The present market is not a bear market
Prices are not tumbling. The result OF the
entire weeks business, up to the present
time, shows few important declines, and
some securities are selling above last Sat
urday's prices. The situation is not bear
ish. In many years there have not been
so many supremacy favorable conditions
focusing at one time as there are in this
spring of 1900
The professional traders are bearish and
the tipsters nearly all Of them have taken
the pessimistie side. but in the absence OF
declines in prices and OF adverse news,
when the news is ali favorable in fact,
shrewd holders of securities will not sell
them because the market is dull, and the
professional giyers of tips talk of lower
prices. The professional tipsters frequent
ly find IL more profitable to take the bear
side when the market is on the eve OF an
advance. The entire outlook suggests that
such an advance is not far away at the
present time. The passage of the Currency
bill next week may be the signal for the
renewed buying by important interests
and by the public that will result In a sus-
tanned and important upward movement.
1t is possible that the passage OF the bill
may be discounted today and early next
week. but perhaps this is not likely in view
of the poor bank statement expected to-
day.
In any advance that may begin in the
near future. the help of the bear contin-
gent will be an important factor. The

CHICAGO, March 9.-Wheat was dull

Provisions opened off with hog and grain
markets, but recovered the early loss and

one Of the largest bought May pork and

bought May pork. The offerings were
largely from realizing longs. The cash

The most important real news yester-
day was the announcement late in the
afternoon that the Southern Railway di-
rectors have declared a liz per cent
dividend on the preferred stock of the
company. AS has been stated in this
column heretofore. this increase il the
dividend rate on the stock has been OK
pected for some time, on account of the
immense increase in the earnings of the
company and the known advocacy Of an
Increase among the directors. People
familiar with railway history tate that
there has not been more brilli-nt record
at any time than that of the Southern in
the few years since its reorganization, and
especially in the past two years. At pres
ent the company is earning a full 3 per
cent on the preferred stock, and something
N addition on the common shares and the
prediction is made In good quarters that
a very short time will see the preferred
safely on a ; per cent basis. 1t is for
this reason that the stock is now selling
very near its highest price while other
excellent railway securities are of TO
25 points. But IS. the closing price yes
erday, is not equal to the deserts of the
stock.

Great Britain knew that once in Ar.

stay there and would be one step
nearer the possession of CONSTANT
nople and the Dardanelles, and one
step nearer the British India empire.
So Russia's game was blocked in
Armenia, and for the present she
seems to have retired from her pro
gram of expansion" in that direction
to take it up in another where she
will not meet such formidable opposi
ton. On the contrary, Great Brit
ain seems as eager as Russia to get
a slice of Chinese territory, ana if
a division can be agreed upon, as
seems entirely likely, there will be no
withdrawal of European troops from
China. The conditions of withdraw
al are being made more onerous for
China every day, just as the determin-
alton not to withdraw grows upon
the invaders.

STATE RAILROAD COMMISSIONS.

State commissions for the regula-
ton of railroads are all right so long
as they do nothing injurious to the in
terests of the corporations whose ac-
tons regarding freight and passenger
traffic they are supposed to control.
A case in point has doomed up in Ne
braska, where there has been state
hoard of transportation for 10 years.
II is presumed that during that time
the rulings of the board have not
operated to the injury of the railroads
for the latter had made no objection
I'M to a few months ago. Recently
under the lash Of some OF the news
papers of the state, the board ordered
a reduction in the rates for livestock
transportation. This was too much
and the defendant corporations con-
tested an action in the courts to COM
mel them to observe the rule as pre-
scribed by the transportation board.
The case reached the supreme court
the other day, and when the attor-
neys for the railroad raised the point
that the act creating the transporta-
ton board was unconstitutional, it
was promptly sustained and the case
dismissed.
The moral seems to be that If
Transportation boards want to remain
in the enjoyment of fat salaries and
railroad passes they must not inter-
fere with the real interests of the
railroads. So long as they do moth
ing but draw their pay from the
state they may be permitted to exist,
but once they undertake to serve the
true purpose of their creation and es-
tablish equitable railroad rates, they
are committing official suicide.
