FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONDITIONS.

An authority the foreign exchange market
says:
In the first week of April short sterling had a
further advance of u cent sixty day sterling 9.
cent short reichsmarks Lie per cent and long bills
3-l6 per cent Francs alone remained unchanged
The weeks advance added to that of the previous
week. amounts to average of q per cent The
rate of demand sterling, which only two weeks ago
stood within l cent of the gold import point
stands within cent of the gold export point, and
if the present pace IS continued gold shipments
should commence in less than two weeks. Whether
they will not cannot of course be foretold with
any degree of certainty. The supply of commercial
bills is still diminishing although the official
turns show that, however large our imports of
merchandise, exports for March are still far
ahead, and in fact. larger than those of any
previous month of March. 1t cannot. therefore be
the balance of trade which calls for gold shipments
from here. 1t must be that Europe has been SELL
ing here amount of securities far in excess
of its purchases. With the prices which many of
our stocks and bonds have reached here during the
last few days more particularly some of the So
called international stocks. the temptation TO sell
was naturally too great for the Europeans TO re-
sst. While money is as easy here at present we
can afford to take all that Europe wishes TO sell

ST. LOUIS AND SAN FRANCISCO STOCKS.

The earnings of the st. Louis and San Francisco
Railroad are increasing at which will show
for the year a large surplus above the per cent
on the first preferred and per cent on the second
preferred. 1t is understood that the second pre-
ferred stock will be placed upon a per cent basis
this summer. Formerly part OF the Atchison svs-
tenn the ST. Louis and San Francisco has developed
into one of the important factors in the railroad
situation In the Southwest. and its record in the
three years of its reorganization as separate svs
TEN has astonshed its best friends and caused con-
siderable regret on the part of the Atchison re-
organizers that they severed the Frisco line from
the Atchison property. The company has maid 1
per cent on its first preferred stock since 1898
per cent on the second preferred in 1895 per cent
in 1899 and the chances favor per cent in the cur
rent year. The total capitalization amounts TO only
SIG 443 $50 of common. 100000 first preferred and
$4,000 900 second preferred From July to Febrn-
airy Is the company's gross earnings amounted m
*4335s against 81 S33 0S1 in the preceding year and
net earnings to s2.269lS6. increase of s3i4 9S3
While the securities OF the other Southwestern
roads have recently enjoyed periods OF activity the
st. Louis and San Francisco stocks have remained
practically lifeless. The first preferred is selling
under other per cent stocks of no greater merit
AS prospective per cent stock. the second pre-
ferred Is selling many points under it's real worth
AS speculative proposition, with the chances of
future investment position the common stock
should be attractive.

at the base of general trade and business are 20

of good volume. speculation was active and prices
of staples were advancing. Failures were few-tne

with the smallest liabilities reported for twelve
years. Under these circumstances IL was thought
fair TO say In these columns that business NOR

made as regards failures and liabilities during the
first quarter of the present year Is even a better
one than that reported year ago; Failures are

'Dun's Review" says:

Quarterly reviews to-day show that. outside the
immediate effects of stock speculation and Indus
trial consultations the volume Of business has been
larger this year than a year ago. At that time the
extensive rise in wages which followed combination
in many cases had not yet taken place, and the
purchasing power of the people was smaller than II

Newton Journal. The following is
vouched for by good reliable men:
James Oldham came to Reasnor the
other day to sell some hogs. While
Jim was at the stock yards, a large
hog was noticed coming toward the
yards. And now the real part comes
in. Jim's hog, knowing of his reso-
luton to sell him, sought to save the
trouble of hauling him over, broke
from his pen, followed Jim over and
was on hand to be sold just as the
train came in.

Careful reports from users
Of Washburn, Crosby's Gold
Medal Flour establish the fact
that the famous flour makes
from 40 to so Tbs. more bread

The average is 40 lbs.
The reason for this Is that

from the finest hard spring
wheat grown. 1t contains so

Breach of DIpIomatic Usage.

The inhibition of cipher dispatches
to the ministers, while a serious
breach of diplomatic usage, is not re-
garded here with apprehension. The
Chinese government, it is pointed out,
is suspicious Of the actions and intent
Of the powers and probably has adopt
ed this precaution to prevent COM
munication to the ministers of de-
tails of military movements. 1t is
evident from the adoption of this
measure that the imperial government
regards itself as antagonistic TO, if
not actually at war with, tfg powers,
Thus far no inhibition has been
placed upon cipher dispatches passing

A definite reply 10 the secretary's

Game Not AccurateIy RepOrted

To the Editor Evening Journal
Dear Sir: Will you please allow me
brief space in your valuable paper 10
correct a "doctored' score (Which ap-
peared in the Sunday starr, sent out
from New Castle concerning the Dover
and New Castle baseball game on sat
urday? A few of the mistakes follow
They have New Castle credited with IA
hits when they only made 8. Dover is
credited with IA hts when IL were
madc. as follows: Burris, .; Charles
4: Baker, 3; Hoover, 3; Morine, =;
McDormsn, 2, and Reeder, i. Dover
is credited with s errors, when were
only made. They also omit the three
base hit made by Baker in the sixth
inning, when the bases were full, and
three runs crossed the plate, and they
emit also the two-base hits made by
Charles and Hoover. Not only this,
but they have Burris down as catcher,
when he played second base, and Nc
Gonigal who played two innings in
left field, they have down for second
base. MOrine, who caught and bat
ted in the sixth position, is omitted
from the report Of the game alto
gether. They praise McGuire's pitch
ing and other plays made by New Cas-
tie, but seem to have forgotten the
fielding Of Baker and the great catches
made by Leach and Donoho, and the
pitching of Charles, as any impartial
spectator will admit that the Dover
twirler was handicapped by the UNI
pire. Now. we admit that Manager
Shearer and the New Castle people en-
tertained us royalty, but we think II
will be better in the future for the clut
to see that tho games are reported
more accurately especially wher
they are played on the New Castle
grounds. FAIR PLAY.
