THE STOCK MARKET.

| ReactionRry Movement of Tuesday Com
tinued During Enrly Hours Yesterday.
New York, April 1.-THE reactionary
| tendency which developed in the stock
market yesterday continued during the
early hours to-day. The selling was
active and widely distributed and
seemed quite urgent in some stocks.
| About noon, the pressure to sell was
| somewhat relaxed and friends of va
rious stocks took them in hand and bid
| them up. The rally in prices failed to
| bring in any notable outside demand
| and the market became rather heavy
| again and closed In that condition.
Dealings We're very largely in profess
sional hands and efforts of the bears to
force down prices and dislodge stop
loss orders met with considerable sue
cesa in some quarters, The character
of the buying at the decline Indicated
that commission houses have orders to
buy at varying levels below present
prices. Prices of Americana We're de-
pressed in trade before the opening
here, but the New York market fell be-
low the London parity and arbitrage
brokers bought stocks to cover sales at
the higher level in London This buy
ing was especially large in Union Pa
cifc when that stock got below 81 and
was material aid to its late rally of
over 2 points, with sympathetic effect
on the other Pacifcs. Baltimore and
Ohio preferred and Louisville showed
aggressive strength and Mssori Pacific
rallied we'll from the morning sharp de
cline. Otherwise, the railroad list was
rather quiet and sluggish. The most
violent movements as usual We're
among the industrials and specialties.
The fact that Third Avenue stock still
COMMANDED premium for use in the
stock loan department last night showed
that the short interest had not been en-
tirely eliminated by yesterdays violent
rise. An active speculation resulted in
the stock and it was forced up at one
time points, then collapsed II points
and rallied again points. The net
gain was 2, Sugar waa somewhat en-
ratio at higher level on the good con-
ditions in the trade and reiterated ru-
mors of trade war settlement Ameri-
can Steel and Wire was subjected to
further severe pressure, with sympa-
thetic effect on the metal group gener-
ally, The resisting power developed by
Federal Steel and its rise to l 1-2 above
yesterdays price had revivlng inf1u-
ence on the group. There was no news
to account for the movement in these
stocks. The bond market was moder-
ately active and prices were inclined to
yield. Total sales par value, 81 665, 900.

OHIO POLITICS.
Interview with Former Maine Man
Now Visiting In State.


Among the guests who are at the Con-
gress Square hotel is MIR. w. III. Smiley,
a native Of Oakland in this state, but
who since '84 has been living in Ohio.
For the last eight years he has been at
Niles where he practices law, being a
partner of Judge Ezra B. Taylor, who
was the successor of President Garfield in
Congress and who served in that capacity
for several terms. Mr.. Smiley is former
newspaper man. He learned the trade of
compositor on a Lewiston paper and then
went to Washington where a number of
years he was correspondent for Maine
newspapers, He went into the newspaper
business when first going to Ohio and af-
forwards studied law.
Mr.. Mckinley was born in Niles, as
you know, said Mr.. Smiley last evening.
But he did not live there after he was
twelve or thirteen years old, My law
office Is on the site Of his birthplace.
have met Mr.. Mckinley a number of
times but do not know him very well.
live in the old Garfield district which is
famous for the fact that it has made few
changes in It's congressman. Garfield was
it's representative for many years. Then
he was succeeded by Judge Taylor, who
was followed by Judge Northway. The
latter died about three years ago and was
succeeded by Charles f. Dick, who is
secretary of the Republican national
committee AMI, by the way, one of the
shrewdest politicians in the country. He
is now devoting his time to managing
the campaign in Ohio. Dick is one of
Senator Hanna's closest friends. The
district is overwhelmingly Republican SO
that there is no question that he will be
again elected this year.
Mrs. Garfield is still living at Mentor.
One of the sons, James E Garfield, is an
ttractive and promising young man who
is much like his distinguished father,
and who, think, will go to Congress
some day. He has already served in the
state senate with distinction. He has
shown himself to be Independent in his
views and for this reason he has been
strongly opposed by some elements in the
cities of the district.
Senator Foraker is a very able man
and is greatly admired by the people OF
Ohio who would be ready to forget many
things in order to honor him. A few
years ago he was about as aggressive as
any man in the country; but like all of
us, as we grow older, he has seemed to
settle down quite degree.
81 think that when the census has been
compiled 1t will be found that Cleveland
has larger population than Cincinnati
which has always been the metropolis of
the state"
Mr.. Smiley starts for his return home
today.

Sport Krpt Up While Horses COul Id
Be Seen.
2.16 Trot Easy Winning
For Phillip E.
Two Heats to Credit of Two
Horses in 2.I3 Pace.

Old Orchard, August l5.-There was SO
little sunshine today that the track had
not completely dried out, but about four
O'Clock the horses were called out and Old
Orchard s second race meeting of the sea-
son was begun. The sport was kept up as
long as the horses could be seen up the
back stretch, one race being concluded
and the other going over till tomorrow.
The 16 trot was an easy winning for
Philip E. a 6-year-old gelding owned by
Philip Hendrie Of Taftsville, CT whose
record Of 2 16]a, made on half mila ring
at Holyoke, was lowered in the third
heat. The performance was considered
especially noteworthy, as the track was
so heavy near the pole that the drive was
made half way toward the outside fence.
The 2 13 pace was hard home drive
every heat. Ned Wilkes, on the strength
of his liz, performance at Dover last
week, was picked as favorite, but the
tirst two heats went to Dark Wilkes, an
Old Orchard winner Of three weeks ago.
Ned Wilkes took the next two, in a whip.
ping finish. Distance was waived, on ac-
count of the condition of the track. The
attendance was as good as was ever seen
at the track on an opening day.
Tomorrow's programme will include
the 2 16 pace 2.14 trot, and 2 II pace.
Summary:
