An Unusual Reception.

II Is seldom that a bride Is accorded
such u reception as was given last
evening by the children of Hampton
street to wedding party in the 1900
block Fully two hundred youngsters
had gathered in front of the house,
each armed with a tin can loaded with
stones.
such II racket as they created would
make Buffalo Bilrs battle of Tien-Tsin
pale into insignificance. For fuzzy an
hour the wedding guests were tortured
with the most unbearable noises, and
the screnadcrs were lined up on the
fence and in front of the house in
large numbers. The presence of Pa
troman Hart was necessary to duell
the rnrkot.

The Philadelphia North America q
yesterday contained a story to the Of
feet that George Gould has obtained
a controlling interest in the Lacka-
wanna Iron and Steel company. The
story then goes on to say:
THE two mills of the Lackawanna
Iron and steel company at Scranton
will be enlarged. it is stated. and the
great plant upon which work has been
commenced at Stony Point, near Buff
falo. completed. Lake ores will be
used at the latter plant. while the
ores for the Scranton works will be
drawn. as now. from the Cornwall iron
beds, near Lebanon. in which the
LackaWanna owns a large interest.
"Thus it would seem that Gould
has played his cards in manner
which not only opens a way into
Pittsburg for his railroad system. but
which also places him in Il position
most difficult to attack. The Wabash.
having "A line of its own TO Buffalo,
is pretty we'll protected in that direc-
tion. The Delaware. T.ackawanna ana
Western, which. it was recently an
nollncCd. had become one of the Gould
lines, gives an outlet To New York.
Up to this time all talk of an eastern
end for the Gould railroad system has
ccnterod upon the Luckawanna. but
in this direction. II is hinted. there
may be further surprises in store

This and That.

The miners who have been on strike
for the past few days at the keystone
colliery. Hudson, will return TO work
this morning. All grievances have
been satisfactorily adjusted. The
cause of the trouble is attributed to
the fact that boys and outside labor
ers were docked during the time the
breaker was idle for the want of coal.

warded his resignation from the posi-
tion of member of the ma ational cXccu-
tive board of the United Mine Work

THE RICE MARKET.

The movement of the week showed a
decided gain over the previous one; the
quickening mainly local and from larger
out-town centres; from the smallest
points there was next door to nothing. "
Reports from the latter are of uniform
tenor, Things hereabouts dead slow and
will be until there is settled weather and
passible roads" There is an encourag-
ing note, however, in nearly every in
stances reference being made to light
stocks and imperative need of full lines
at some early date.
Advices from the South are of irregular
character; along the Atlantic coast there
was a considerably enlarged movement
more general interest evinced than for
several weeks past. In New Orleans and
interior points, alternate days were ac-
tive and dull, but the roundup showed
an aggregate closely approximating the
previous week and over double the cor
responding period last year.
Cables and correspondence from abroad
confirm report of last week relating to
damage by rains, to the Burmah crop.
Only earliest shipments escaped damage
ard being free from stackburn are held
at full prices with prospect of higher fig
ures.

late dealings. The most effective leaders
of the market were Atchison and Union
Pacific. The dealings in both were on a
very heavy scale and a professional cam
paign for rise was clearly being con-
for the rise, was that Atchison was to be
placed on a four per cent dividend basis,
AID that Pennsy v;tulA interests ware to
be represented in the directory as re-
suit of the alleged requirement Of a large
interest by Pennsylvania in the company.
In Union Pacific it was said that the
Southern Pacific collateral bonds were to
be redeemed thus releasing the Central
Pacific stock, and that Union Pacific was
to cooperate with Northwestern in the
formation of transcontinentaI system
to offset the Burlington deal Atchison
enjoyed an extreme advance of Pa as a
result of these manoeuvres and Union Pa
cific was lifted az. There were other
advances amongst the Southwestern and
Southern railroads. which were largely
sympathetic. The New York public utili-
ties had their period of strength as did a
number of other specialties, notably Col
orado Fuel. Tennessee Coal, New York
Air Brake. Pacific Coast and United
States Express the latter on the election
as directors of officials of other express
companies. The gains in this lot of stocks
ran from about three to ten points. The
relaxation in the money market had the
greater effect since there was no respon-
sive hardening of the sterling exchange
rates. Dealings in bonds continued large
and the market irregular. Total sales

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 1S.-New York, April
18-The promise of a good bank state
ment on Saturday and the further relax
alton in the money market, which result
ed, were the main motives in the renew
ed speculative buying of stocks today. The
movement of prices was exceedingly ire
gular and profit taking was on a very
heavy scale. The reawakening of specu-
lation was not achieved without agrees
sive leadership by the professional ele-
rnent, who called to their assistance all
the arts of manipulation to move prices
upward SO as to afford the requisite at
traction to the outside speculative world
The influence was still manifest Of a fail
ure to announce the terms of the Burling-
ton deal, and also of the suggestion coming
from ST. Paul that President J. j. Hill
had sold out his holdings of Erie stocks
at a speculative profit and that no great
trans continental system was projected.
The Erie stocks Burlington, Northern
Pacific and the Changers were affected by
these considerations early in the day.
The active profit taking in Amalgamated
Copper and in Sugar were also influences
on the side of the depression. Sugar was
temporarily strong because of the advance
in the price of the refined product after
the market had closed last night, but
sagged away in characteristic manner
on the good news later in the day. It's
depression was emphasized by the heavy
import duty levied upon refined Sugar in
the British budget. Amalgamated Cop
per on the other hand scored practically
a complete recovery of its loss in the
