Company's branch ofiics, No. ZIG Middle
street, Portland, Me.)
New York, March 13.-The course Ct to-
days money market was pleasant sur
prise to the street. IL had been expected
the rates would rule higher than they did
yesterday, as matter ef fact the average
was somewhat lower, four per can't was
the ruling rate and no loans Ct any I'M
portanoe being made ct over six per cent.
Both the W. U. and Manhattan com
psny's declared the regular quarterly
dividsnds, but inasmuoh as they had been
expected they had no effect upon TIE
price Of the stock. The railroad earnings
that came to hand were of sasisfaO,ory
nature, more especially that Ct the b and
o. for February which showed net eirn-
ings Of ss09, sic as against $40. leo for tie
same period of last year. For the nrst
week In March the Southern rail way
shows an increase cf ,ii6. London was
a moderate buyer Of this stock during
the last half hour. Inc feature towards
the cloes was the strength and heavy buy
ing Of Atchison PR fsrred. It Was believed
that large consolidated interest was
either covering or going long, this cover
ing theory is the most probable inasmuch
as large blocks Ct Atchison preferred
which had been borrowed for some time
were returned this afternoon. In fact tho
loan market showed falling of In the
demand for all stocks. Sugar WAS Diff

AFFAIRS IN WEST INDIES
Return Of Gen. Davis, Military Governor
Of Puerto Rioo
With Other Army Omcers He Call nj
War Department and COnfers
With Secretary Root.

Brigadier General Davis, military COVER
nor of Puerto Rico; Colonel Heyl, inspector
general; General Sanger. who has just re-
turned from Puerto Rico, where he has
been engaged In making a census, and
Brfgadfer General Wilson, the military
commander of the Cuban provinces of Ma
tanzas and Santa Clara, all called at the
War Department today and had confer
ences with Secretary Root respecting con-
ditfons in Cuba and Puerto Rico. General
Wilson was accompanied by Lieut. Turner
of the 10th Infantry, and General Davis by
Lieut.. ]. S. Battle of the 18th Infantry.
General Davis and his aid. Lieut.. Battle,
are at the Metropolitan Club; General Will
son and Lieut.. Turner are at the Arlington.
General Wilson took luncheon with Secre-
tary Root this afternoon and both he and
General Davis will have personal confer
enceS with the President regarding affairs
in Cuba and Puerto Rico.
Generai Sanger expects that in about six
weeks the work of tabulating the results OF
the census in Cuba will have been complet-
ed and that of Puerto Rico shortly after
ward. In both Islands the work has been
accomplished in satisfactory manner Ex-
traordtnary precautions were taken to see
That the enunferators We're given thorough
instructions and were thoroughly qualified
for their work, with the result that the
Cubans feel gratified with the manner in
which the work has been accomplished.
The schedules covered questions bearing on
population, education and agriculture.
General Sanger believes the census Of
Puerto Rico will show there has been an
increase in the population of the island
since 1887, when the last Spanish enumera-
ton was taken. He is not able to speak
with any accuracy regarding Cuba, al
tabulation from that island showed a fall
ing off in population.
