The stock market was rather dull to
day, but compared with yesterdays
semi-stagnation, 1t had the appearance
of considerable animation. The largo
increases In the prices of stocks which
resulted from the comparatively small
dealings nre a striking evidence OF the
small floating supply of stocks now Of
ferlng In the market. The opening deal
ings were on an extremely small scale.
but the. market gained strength and
volume as the day progressed. The
railroad stocks were especially well ia
ken, but the industrals and specIaltles
had their full share In the strength OF
the days market. The list of securities
dealt in showed considerable length
ening over. that for some time past. A
number Of factors co-operated to cause
the, advance in prices. The excellent re-
sistance offered yesterday In face of
the violent decline and heavy liquida-
ton in Brooklyn Transit was in itself
motive for advancing prices on the
part of the professional traders, whose
constant aim is to see prices move and
who only need to see the impossbllity
demonstrated Of movement in one d.
rection to start q movement in another
direction. The convection that the
monthly crop report would show ma
terial improvement in the conditions
not only in the spring wheat belt. but
In those portions of the winter wheat
belt which had suffered from too much
rain, played a large part In the days
advance. and large, short lines were
covered in the stocks of all the grain
carrying roads,. The vociferous alarm
over the corn crop professed by some OF
the crop experts was evidently viewed
with skepticism by Wall street and
the corn carrying grangers shared in
the general strength The widely dis
seminated reports Of an open competi-
ton between the great steel companies
was 4 subject of rather quizzical indif-
ference on the part OF the professional
operators, rs was testified to by the
late general advance in the steel
stocks. The more cheerful tone In the
foreign markets in response to the bet
ter news from China had n larger in
fueHce in this market than news from
that source has had previously. The
better tone in Berlin was especially
marked and doubtless the buying back
Of Americans sold last week from that
center accounted for the special
strength of the Pacihcs and other Ber-
lin favorites. The strong weekly state
ment of the imperial bank OF Germany
showing heavy contraction both In
loans aud note issue and substantial
gain In cash. showed the measure of
the recuperation of the financial sItua-
ton effected in Berlin. The continued
drain from the sold resource Of the
Bank OF England causes surmise as TO
the possibility of gold going from New
York this week, but rise In sterling at
Paris to-day showed relaxation of the
principal strain on the English market.

The Rush Of Modern Times.

The dire effect of the present driv-
ing rate at which life is forced along is
beginning to show itself in two i'm
portant directions First. while the
average of life is longer because of the
improved condition of child life. the
life of men and women, but especially
men, Is growing shorter. The pressure
to go fast Is making men old before
their time and Is laying many of them
in the grave. Good John Woolman.

to toll and moil as they generally do

but by every word that proceedeth out
of the mouth of God" This rush all
day long is lot life. Second, with this
rapidity of pace we are told that origi-
nality Is becoming rarer every year
and "a casual type Of mind" is being
developed. The pleasures of the mind
are being sacrificed Notwithstanding
