The advance in the stock market con-
tinued yesterday under the stimulating
influence of continued weakness in wheat
and corn and Of bull manipulation in a
number of the specialiies. Prices ad-
vanced fractionally all over the list and
important gains were made in some quar-
tiers. The close was near the top. So
much having been said of the surface
strength Of the market, 1t is necessary to
state that there has been no change in the
situation. The professionals still control
and the market is sin narrow and Of little
significance. As long as these conditions
prevail the advances may be expected to
be followed by declines. and i; will be fool

BACKING OUT.
General Roberts Abandoning District Near
BlOemfolteln TO Beers.

London, April 4.-General Colville
and Genera. French have given up
the movement against the Beers east
of BlOemfOntein and have rejOined
the main army. 1t doubtless seemed
to Lord Roberts vain thing TO send
from 10000 to $1,000 Of his best troops
into the wilderness with a field trans
port in the direction at a right angle
with his chosen line Of advance. The
Beers have probably moved elsewhere,
and If to the southwest, General Col
vile could as easily strike them from
Bloemfontein as by following them
up across the plains.
These inferences still leaves the
situation bewildering for the time
being. The enormously superior
British forces appear inactive iD
every part OF The war field, while
waiting, probably, for the accumula-
tion Of material for a swift advance
upon the Transyaal frontier. The
London military commentators and
the public to some extent are irritated
aud confused by the situation.

City issued improvement bonds In the
sum Of $4,000 for the purpose Of
building a city hall. The building
was built, and the city claims that IL
put more than $4,000 in it. The
building is said to be worth about
$4,000, or little more than One-third
the amount Of the bonds. The city is
not paying interest on the bonds, and
when an action was brought to compel
payment, the city entered a cross
petition asking that the company be
compelled to take the building aud
release the bonds, as the city is unable
to pay either principal or interest. 1t
is au odd suit aud the outcome will be
watched with interest. Good legal
talent is arrayed on beth sides, ard it
is expected that the decision reached
may be regarded as final, and altor-
neys are intensely interested.
