ACTIVITY in THE MARKET
Stocks Eacillate Between Sharp
Declines and Advances.
Weakness OF Certain shares Coun-
terbaIanced by Strength i'm Others.
mors Of Further Reductions i'm the
Rate of the Regular Dividend.

NEW YORK. March 15.-The Stock Mar
ket opened active and feverish. There were
sharp declines in Third Avenue. Sugar
Refining, American Tobacco, Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. and Missouri Pacific, with
the dealings in these instances in large
volume. On the other hand, the granger
group showed noteworthy strength, par
ticularly for Burlington and Quincy, which
advanced rapidly in the initial dealings.
The pronounced strength of this quarter
OF the market had subsequently a good ef
feet on the remainder of the list, which
after the opening assumed firmer tone.
The weakness in Sugar was again at
tended by reports that further reduction
in the rate of dividend was likely. The
dealings in Third Avenue reflected the
technical position of the stock in the mar
ket rather than anything new bearing
upon the property. Discussion of the re-
ceivers report upon the property was
again active. but inferences, drawn from
the figures. were by no means encouraging.
The stock opened down at an extreme de-
cline of four points from its closing prices,
but IL subsequently recovered part OF
this loss. The advance in Burlington and
Quincy was attended by reports that an
other stop in the refunding plan of the
company viii soon be announced.
The London market was exceedingly ir-
regular, and the dealings here for foreign
account al the opening of business were on
both sides of the market. The specula-
tive sentiment of the market appeared TO
be unsettled in regard to the monetary
situation, il apparently not being def
nitely understood as TO how operations
of the new Financial bill would Offset the
cash losses which the New York banks are
now suffering on one account or another.

Prof. Henry Todd's Criticism of n
Railway Schedule


Prof. Henry D. Todd of thc naval obser-
vatory last month invited the attention of
the superintendent of the institution. Cap-
tain c. H Davis, United States navy, to
the unsatisfactory manner in which cars
on the electric railway from George

Interruptions this line, the delays had
become more numerous and vexatious un-
der the new management than under the
Ola one He has, he reported, been COM
PEELED to wait for a car from twenty min
utes to an hour, and the uncertainty of
the officers and employees of the obserya-
tory reaching the observatory by this line
caused them much Inconvenience, and also
materially affected the efficiency of the
observatory force.
Captain Davis. in forwarding the COM
plant TO the District Commissioners, stated
that Prof. Todd's charges were under
stated, II anything, and the captain re-
lated some of his experiences, agreeing
with the professor that the condition of
the road is not only an interference with
the business of the observatory, but also
a source of great annoyance to its officers
and employees.
Captain Newcomer, one Of the assistants
10 the Engineer Commissioner, has in
formed the Commissioners that a new
schedule on the railway in question was

states. gives a interval of fifteen min
