STOCK MARKET FEATURES.
As Reviewed by the House of Prince X
 Whitely.

| Whitely.
 New York, April 22-Great things were expected of the stock market this
 morning by such principally as only
 had a small interest. Their opinion was
 based solely on the good bank state-
 ment of Saturday. The parties most at | interest ware well aware of the work ings of the different deals and passing l their operations upon such knowledge extended their interest in such spec ialties only as they were well informed l about. In other words, 1t was not and is not market which should be bought | by the public in general at present val ues on the simple belief and faith that all stocks must go up. There are many l like the coalers for instance which on
 merit should have improved before this; there are others like. good industrials which on their earning capacity should go up and scarcely respond, and yet they show very little animation or resil- iency. Present conditions, commercial and financial, certainly are unprece- dentedly good at the same time if the high priced railway properties are to continue in their advance in value some of the industrials should certainly par ticipate in the markets advance.
 London this morning was strong and purchases for European account were established to amount to nearly 100, ,000 shares of the variously listed interna- tional stocks. The sentiment of favor of high values here at home is running so strong and principally among the larger interests that it is difficult to try and prosnosticate even where and when it will stop. All basic conditions ap- pear to be good All branches of trade, even the long neglected textile branch, are improving, money is plentiful and railway earnings large: In fact there is scarcely a period of time for years past when the present favorable one can be compared with.
 Foreign exchanges are firm and as long as rates for money are low here and discounts in Europe easy rates may go to gold export point. As it Is the United States treasury and the country holds more gold than at any time before, consequently gold exports should not disturb the market.
 Wheat was strong on weak condi- tions. Prices are nearly 11a higher, yet speculation is much restricted.
 Cotton has good undertone; the po- sition in itself is strong and the late- ness of planting of the coming crop is not conducive to help the professional bear element here. We look for much higher prices.
 During the last hour the stock market under heavy realization and in some cases short selling on the part of pro- fessional traders became quite reaction ary, prices yielding throughout the list, but the tenor with all that cannot be called weak. In fact, towards the very close the market sound tolerably good support. Stock exchange sales break a record to-day. Total sales. 2.3S9 BOO.

NEW PHASE
In the Clinton Liquor Case,

In the Clinton Liquor Case.
 The Clinton liquor case has added a new chapter. It will be remembered that the drug store of John B. Wright was raided five months ago, a large quantity of liquor seized and, after a six days trial, the owner was sen- fenced to pay certain fines and costs, from which decision he appealed to the superior court. Later, he concluded to abide the judgment of the lower court,
 pay fine and costs of $9797 in the crim-
 inal suit, and the total costs in the seiz-
 ure case, which, together with the de-
 struction of some $120 worth of liquors,
 was a somewhat costlier issue than the
 original sentence involved. It was sup
 posed that the case would end here.
 But it is reported that for certain
 reason it became desirable to measure
 the liquors seized and that Secretary
 Thrasher, of the law and order league,
 engaged United States Gauger F. A.
 Joachinson, of this city, for that pur- pose. In consequence of discoveries al
 legged to have been made by him MT. Joachinson made another visit of inves- tigation to Clinton yesterday, accom- panied by Deputy Collector Bryant, of Ansonia. On evidence furnished by the law and order league Wright was found liable to the United States government for violation of the federal malt license law. It appeared by his previous state ment in court that he had sold lager by wholesale to one Pratt for which it seems he had no wholesalers license. Yesterday he settled with the deputy collector by the payment of $75 It is reported that further investigation revealed the fact that barrel of whis- key and one of gin among the stock seized by the officers of the league, did not comply with the United States in ternal revenue laws, and that unless Wright can show that the shipper was responsible he must pay Uncle Sam a considerable sum in addition.
 It is stated in Clinton that Wright made tactical error in objecting to costs taxed against him by the courts, that If he had not done so the additional facts regarding violation of federal law would not have come to light. No gauger would have been employed to the liquors in that case. It was not learned what course will be taken in the matter left unsettled yes- terday afternoon.

The Rev. James Ensign, who is hold- ing evangelistic services at the Con- gregational church in Northford, is a man thoroughly consecrated to God. Through his meetings and personal work many souls are coming out on the Lords side. There is no uncertain sound inihis preaching. He says show me church with it's members given over to card playing and dancing and will show you a dead church."
 The comedietta came off Friday evening. Each one acted their part ad- mirably. All deserve great credit. es- pecially those who planned it. Only one thing happened to mar the evenings pleasure. During the dance which fol- lowed some one imbibed too freely and the result was a row, which, of course, was regretted by all.

WALIINGFORD.

The resignation of Rev. J. J. Blair as pastor of the Congregational church which was announced Sunday morning causes much surprise and sorrow among the members of the church and other warm friends of the reverend gentleman, who is popular with all de- nominations, and his departure from Wallingford, where he has been located for the past seven years, will be a source of regret to all.
 The rainfall in the borough since Sat urday noon has been 9.9 inches, which is very heavy. The total rainfall for the month of April has been 10 53-100 inches.
 Paugh pond is nearly full, and Sun day afternoon when Superintendent Burke was over there was within 1872 inches of running. The gauge showed 1141a inches. a gain of 11a inches in the past week. The canal was full and the prospects that the water will run over the waste way inside of week.
 The heavy rain of Saturday night and Sunday made sad havoc in the roads in and out of the borough. Mix's hill south of Yalesville. is badly washed, and from all parts of the town comes reports of bad washouts. Owing to the heavy downpour the sewers were inadequate to carry away the surface water. Cellars on Main street and oth- CT parts were flooded, and considerable damage was done.
 A few more such rainstorms and another appropriation for roads will be necessary, as the repairs made this spring already have necessarily used up quite a sum of money.
