STOCK MARKET GOSSIP.
The Overwhelming Influence of
SnEnr and Third ANenue Recently.


NEW YORK, March 4-The fine recovery
in the stock market yesterday has been the
subject of much discussion among finan-
cial people today, and there is much hope
fulness over the outlook for this week.
Careful market critics. however, while ac-
knowledging that there is excellent ground
for hope. do not express any certainty over
the situation. The market was much over
sold during the entire week and il was in
evitable that, with conditions as they were
there should be heavy covering at the close
Unless there is good buying for the long
account tomorrow and later the advance
will end when the equilibrium is restored.
There is a good chance that there will be
this buying, however, If not tomorrow, on
Tuesday or Wednesday. 1t is a theory of
! number CT conservative market people
that there will be investment buying in
Sugar soon as the dividend announce
ment is made. whatever the directors may
decide to do The stock is considered by
them to be selling at a sufficiently low
price now, even if the dividend is to be
passed This buying of Sugar may be taken
as an opportune time for general bull
movement in the market.
The bears continue to state that prices on
nearly all securities are too high. There
are no sound arguments on which to base
any such statements. The large volume of
securities are selling at prices 10 to 80
points below their actual worth. Earnings
dividends. money rates, the business out
look-all make intrinsic values high and
will in time undoubtedly result in much
higher prices to correspond. Trade reports
for the past week show business to be
fiourishing handsomely. Railway earnings
are enormous. The bank clearings are
larger than ever before, in as far as they
represent purely business operations
The Sugar mysteries and the Third Ave
nue. troubles, which are no longer mys-
FERROUS, have hurt the market badly during
the past two weeks. The better outlook
now for some solution of the Third Avenue
business and the climax of the Sugar mat
ter on Wednesday may result in the be-
ginning of the upward movement. Wall
Street continues extremely optimistic also
regarding the probable effect of the Cur
rency bill. The outlook for another strin-
gent money market would be good. ac-
cording to the critics, except for the money
that this law will put in circulation.

ATHLETES TRAINING AT YALE.
Work of the Winter in the Nature
of an ENperiment.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. March 4.-Yale
athletes will finish their indoor work the
coming week, and ttie=new systems Of
training which have .bees introduced into
ev9ry line OF sport will be tested in the
field and on the river as they will appear
in the actual competition of the intercol-
legiate contests.
Most of the training at Yale during the
past winter has been in the nature of an
experiment Every captain has inaugural
ed different style OF preparation for his
team from that of his predecessors.
In the case of the track athletes the
change is the most apparent of all. Jim
Robinson has kept them off the gymnasium
floor all the winter. instead of allowing
them to work on the gymnasium track for
weeks, as former Yale track teams have
done.
Runners, vaulters, and hurdlers have
alike been gathered into a squad and
given an afternoon run over the city
streets. This has been heightened, and
strict training has been put into effect
until the track men are ready as soon
as the Yale Field is in condition TO begin
actual practice in their events.
Yale track teams competitors this year
will be limited to the following events and
dates: April rs, Yale spring games; May
IL, Yale Harvard dual track games at
Cambridge; May 30, Intercollegiate track
games in New York.
The only indoor event which will be
held at Yale this winter will be the run
ming high jump. This is now in progress
at the gymnasium. John Flanagan, the
worlds champion hammer thrower, will
take charge of the Yale weight candidates
the coming week. They have not been in
Guided in the athletes who have been
training for about a month.
For the first time since 1891 Yales base
ball candidates began work this season I'M
der the eye of a professional coach. Char
ley Nichols, the Boston pitcher, takes
charge of the candidates tomorrow. He
was engaged to drill the pitchers and
catchers especially. but he will give
few general directions to all the candi-
dates
Captain Camp expected to be able TO
set his men to work upon the diamond
this week but heavy storm kept them
indoors and now they see no chance of
getting out of the cage for more than
week.
Captain Allen has enforced strict train
ing for the members OF the crew. begin
ming with the past week, and has also
reduced the members of the squads from
l15 men TO about ninety.
A few OF the oarsmen were taken down
the harbor a week ago to try the new
shells. but the cold weather of the past
week has driven them back. and there is
little chance of their leaving the tank
for few days more.

Walter S. Gurnee, James E. Woodward,
and James H. Smith 1t is stated that
two-thirds OF the preferred shareholders
had agreed to accept the exchange for the
common stock on a basis of $50 shares OF
common for 100 shares of preferred. AS
the acceptance of these terms was purely
optional on the part of the preferred
shareholders, it is not expected that all
the outstanding stock can be Cancelled for
long time, but the two-thirds vote in
sures the success of the proposition. The
capital stock of the company will be in
creased to $4,000, 600, all common shares,
of which Sl,200,000 will be sold for cash,
having already been uuderwritten at par,
less a small commission, the proceeds to
be used In acquiring three Sheffield fur
naces, $40 coke ovens, and 1900 acres
Of coal lands. II is expected that divi-
dends on the common stock at the rate
OF per cent quarterly VIII be commenced
about April l.
1t now appears that the plans Of the
Seaboard Air Line management for con-
solidation OF various roads, which will
make continuous route from Florida TO
this city, will be successfully carried out.
There have been many stumbling blocks,
not the least important of which was to Sc
cure the necessary charter under the laws
the Richmond and Washington Air Line
Railroad passed the Legislature of Vir-
ginia by vote of &c to % on Saturday.
The bill is in every way acceptable to the
Seaboard Syndicate, and under its pro-
visions the consolidated system will with
in short time have its own tracks from
Tampa, Fla, to Washington. ..---
In all the weakness of the past week
Pennsylvania Railroad has held up very
WELL There has been exceptionally good
buying OF 1t. The more important men in
Wall Street are getting more and more
bullish regarding the stock, and there ia
good-reason for il. One authority pointed
out yesterday that while ii takes So, 250, 900
to pay Pennsylvania semi annual divi-
dend of 1-2 per cent, the company's last
annual report showed a surplus over and
above the years dividends of s2.642 600.
For the four months since the last dividend
was declared the company has increased
its earnings 1884, 600 At this rae of
earnings 1t will show an increase for the
year of $4,000, 900, This does not include
increases from the Northern Central,
Philadelphia Wilmington and Baltimore,
and the West Jersey and Seashore all OF
which would make much larger net. The
company is carrying weekly 600 600 tons of
coal and coke. On April an advance Of 30
cents ton will be made on tidewater coal.
Assuming that only half Of the shipments
are 10 tidewater, this will mean an increase
to the company of s4.500000 in net. How
long Will II be possible. the street is ask
ing. for the company under such condi-
tions, to refrain from increasing its divi
dends?

Bonds and the standard railroad shares
furnished about the only consolation that
the bulls got out Of such market as has
ruled for the past ten days. The strength
in bonds is one of the features of the
situation, and is no doubt the result OF
buying by capitalists in anticipation OF the
advance in prices that probably will take
place when the Government bonds refund
ing under the new Currency bill is com
menced. The prices which the new 2 per
cent bonds Of the Government already
command make most OF the first-class rail-
roads and per cent bonds look very at
tractive at the figures at which they are
now selling. Norfolk and Western As,
Reading As Southern Pacific collateral
stock As. Erie prior lien As, with Wisconsin
Central As and other bonds in their class
are selling at prices which, with easy
money assured. render them very remu-
nerative investments and II is the opin-
ion of some people in the street that all
these bonds Will have substantial rise
in the next sixty days.

ty of infantry consisting of three com
panies of Royal Irish fusiliers and two
companies of the Ninth regiment
mounted infantry, near Reddersburg,
a little eastward of Bethany railway
station, within few miles of this
place. They were surrounded by a
stronger force of the enemy, with four
or five guns. The detachment held
out from noon, April 3, until April 4,
at in the morning, and then appar-
entity surrendered, for the reported
firing ceased at that time. Immediately
after l heard the news during the
afternoon of April l ordered Gatacre
to proceed from Springfontein, his

the Cameron Highlanders hence to
Bethany. He arrived at Reddersburg
at 1890 yesterday morning without
opposition, but could get no news of
the missing detachment. No doubt
the whole party were made prisoners"

Dam In Colorado River at Austin, Texas,

AUSTIN, Texas, April s.-This city
was last night in pitch darkness with
a raging river one mile wide and
swollen far beyond its natural banks,
roaring and surging through all the
lower part of the town, having spread
destruction and death in its wake. In
addition to the vast loss of property
interests, it is calculated that between
thirty and forty lives have been sac
rificed and the reports coming in from
the tributary country do not tend to
improve matters. The food is not I'M
like the disastrous Johnstown flood
some years ago in that a raging river,
already swollen far beyond its capac-
ity, bore too heavily upon an immense
dam spanning the river here, breaking
it and letting loose reservoir of water
thirty miles long, half mile wide and
sixty feet deep, to aid in carrying des-
struction down the valley of the Colo
RADIO river. The great dam in the Col
orado river gave way at noon yester-
day from the enormous pressure of
water and debris and with a roar and
crash swept the valley below the city,
wreclSing the immense light and power
plant and drowning eight worllmen.

President Steyn declared in spite of
the surrender of Bloemfontein he had
not lost hope in the triumph of the re-

forced upon the Transvaal and nothing
remained for the Free State but to
throw in its lot with the sister repub-
lies in accordance with the terms of
the treaty. The war was begun with
the object Of maintaining by arms the
Independence bought with the blood
of the forefathers of the nation and
had been SO successful that it caused
the greatest wonder throughout the
world and even to the Beers them
selves. After paying tribute to the
memory of Joubert, Steyn said the
British, notwithstanding their over
whelming numbers, We're violating the
flag of truce and the red cross, and
that he was compelled to TO report the
matter TO neutral powers. The at
tempt TO create dissension among
burghers by issuing proclamation had
failed, he said

SIOUX CITY, April 9.--The three in

over the head of 4. =. Stone, the miss

bank, have been dismissed ON motion
OF the county attorney. m 1896 Stone
skipped out following the failure of

that he had forged paper to the
amount of $50, 900. All efforts to find
him were of no avail, and finally at
tempts We're given up. But since that
time his wife and child have been de-
pendent upon friends for their support
and, moved by sympathy for them,
the men who secured the indictments
consented to their dismissal. 1t is
said Stone has been offered work, and
now that the chances of his arrest are
removed he can go to work and sup
port his family. But just where he is
located is only known to a very few,
and they will not tell. Before his
downfall Stone was one of the most
prominent men of the city, had fine
home and moved in the very best cir
