THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review

New York. May 4.-The stock market main
tained its narrow and professional character to-
day. As though to vary the appearance of re-
cent monotony III the market, yesterdays slight
upward movement was continued at the op,n.
ing today, instead Of starting IN the opposite
direction. But this was hardly more than a
device OF the small traders TO give an appear
ance Of strength TO the market and their realiz
ing sales before the close brought prices back
to about last nights level and left the net
changes insignificant, except in q few usually
inactive stocks. Sugar retained its prominence
though a decreased volume of dealings. 1t
was lifted above yesterdays close twice
with difficulty, and lost about a point on the
day. Long Island ran off 3l2, seemingly on
realizing on the signing by the governor Of the
bill authorizing railroad bridge at Hell Gate,
hut in the late dealings the stock scored a
rapid recovery of Az points The steel stocks
showed some rather languid evidences of posi-
tive strength without any particular news to
account for it, beyond the published opinion Of
the president of one Of the companies, arguing
that the present low stocks in the yards and
the impossblity of competition from Europe
insureS against any considerable reaction in price
The strength of the London ket helped the

Those who claim to have made the
experiment say that the mesquite bean
which grows in such abundance in
Arizona, makes 2 delicious substitute
for coffee, that it has the stimulating
effects while it lacks some of the dele
terious effects of coffee. II this be
true, there is a large and profitable
industry opened to score of people.
The mesquite forests of Southern Ari-
zona produce thousands Of tons Of
beans annually. The Star comment
ing on it thinks the subject Of the
mesquite bean should be referred to
the experimental station of the Uni
versity of Arizona for experimental
purposes as to it's value as q substitute
