There have been no combinations OF any
of the alleged railway deals since the
close of business last THURSDAY The
Northern Pacific-G Great Northern Burling-
ton deal is still only rumor, as far as
the outside world is concerned, at least
So is the Rock Standardization deal. So
is the New York Central-Delaware and
Hudson. So is the U,Iion Pacific-lllinois
Central-Chicag go and Alton deal. Nearly
all the securities representing these va
rious lines have been pushed skyward
during. the past weeks in nticipation of
the confirmation of these pmors. 1t is
unpleasant to consider what would be
the consequences if authoritative denials
OF them all were made today.

STOCK MARKET COMMENT
A Week of Feverish Speculation
in Prospect.
-Four Days Business, Endine Last
Thursday. Aggregated 100000
shares-The Public still Eager 10
Buy-Bank Statement n Poor One.

NEW YORK. April THE stock mar
ket this week will have the attention of
the entire business world. The opening
of business tomorrow, after the three
DAYS holiday will be watched with an
eagerness almost unprecedented. what
the week is to develop no one on the
outside has any right to predict, except
that 1t is certain to be a tremendous one.
with big fluctuations in prices, big trans
fers of stock and excitement the most
intense, no matter how the prices tend.
The market of the week past was
one of intense interest to all speculative
minds and cannot fail to open new trains
of thought among those who bother
themselves enough to think about the
results which certain causes precipltate
in the speculative community. during
the four business days of last week the
traffic in shares was enormous, each DAY
being close up to record days, and far
SURPRISING days of the elimination OF
any previous bullish campaign. The ag-
gregate for the four days was 1881 2O9
shares The end of this extraordinary
week found quotations a little below the
highest of the period and a good able
market prepared to absorb almost any
amount of shares at a slight concession
There were what seemed to be immense
reaiizations on each day, the effect OF
which was that the general market was
as a rule droopy and depressed in the
afternoon hours.
Spectators know that the public in
variabiy appears in the morning in the
work of the commission houses. Even
ing thought and gossip with acduaint-
ances induce most of the orders coming
from outsiders which are sent to brokers
at the opening, because the people who
give such orders have their own business
to attend to until late in the afternoon.
The professionals and emi-professionals
are. OF course, in evidence all the time.
and therefore the business of the morn
ing hours is apt to indicate the current
of the public mind in its operations The
public is nearly always wrong The in
ference drawn from these facts by most
careful students of the market is that the
public is now buying stocks blindly and
foolshly at the TOP and that the insiders
are liquidating, carefully but neverthe-
less heavily, and as rapidly as possible.
The market is immensely broad, how
ever. and the Morgan clique is more
powerful than any that ever operated
before and this fact makes ii utterly out
of the question to predict when the in
is advised against, but the taking of
profits is urged strongly.
The bank statement Saturday was
again poor one and the banks have
very low surplus of reserves on hand.

The increase in tonnage this year has
been in the better paying classes of
freights, and much OF the increase in
earnings Is due to that fact Shipments
of grain and of many low grade freiShts
on which earnings are small We're not so
heavy as in other years. Rates have been
well maintained. In comparison with 1895
and 1882. especially the latter, allowance
must be made for difference in rates,
which are not much lower on many i'm
portant classes of freight. The larger
earnings this year, therefore, represent
an enormous increase in tonnage com
pared with 1892, and earnings this year
are 56.I per cent greater than in 1892. Be
low earnings of roads reporting are given

money rose to per cent at the close Of

A SHADOW.
Brought TroubI to the one VINO ga"
1T But 1t Was Quickly
DispeIled-

Mr.. Barkins said it was pleasant SIT
tino in the freight, and he hoped Mrs.
GRAY wouldn't light the gas on his ac-
count. Besides. the street lamp threw
a strong glow nto the room and even
made the wall at the END OF the pdch
drawing-room as bright as a white sur
face can be, writes Grace Dune boy1dh'
in the Chicago ~JOurnal.r
So Mr.. Barkins sat down IN a rocker
at the front window and Mrs. Gray
took a similar chair six feet or so away,
and as they talked of the election and
the weather they rocked, one to the east
and one to the west, n Mrs Gray,
who was an energetic little person,
bobbed-h her head to a~ccentuate every
thing she said.
Mr.. GRAY, who had been out 10 borrow
a hammer from the next-door nelgh-
Dor. happened on his return to enter
the house by a side door and &C into
h back parlor first. Once there he
stopped and stared at the wall as one
stupeied. The shadows of the people
in the other room were thrown on the
white surface, and the huge, distorted
shapes seemed to rock toward eacn
other. kiss, separate. and rock onward
again.
Jealousy clutched the husbands
heart. Here was a tri1e lighter than
air. since it was a shadow. But what
proof could be more strong? He went
in one brief moments space. through
all the tortures he had read of in MS
life.
annie" he cried, in anguish, and,
as the condemning shadows met again
she answered:
'Yes, dear. Come in. Nj. Barkins is
here waiting for YOU"
He strobe in, his neighbours hammer
in a rigid hand. Mr.. Barkins was gent
" rocking in the window and Mrs. Gray
swayed in her wicker chair six feet or
so away. He glanced out and saw the
shadows meeting.
How are you. Barkins, old man!
How are you?" he said, cordially
.Glad o came up. Take off your over
coat and stay to dinner"
But he only laughed that nigh1 when
after the guest had gone, Mrs. Gray
said: 81 never knew before that you
were so fond of that man Barkins!'

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.
Tasty Novelties in Hats, Gowns and

An extreme novelty in yelling is the
chiffon veil of black or white, with
dots of gold and black.
The "beaver'' felt is again in evil
dence. in quite the fashion of a dozen
years ago. The soft, wide brim IS
caught up at the front by sweeping
ostrich pIumes, held by a large steel
or gilt buckle. The fiat crown is sim
ply draped with velvet, ending in
points, a the New York Tribune.
Some of the new lace gowns shown
in the shops are exquisite. One, for
instance, is of creamy net, inset with
white lace figures, outlined with black
chenille and embroidered with jet.
Floral sprays in raised work Of gold
run between these lace figures.
Royal blue is used in some of the
newest gowns. A wool costume OF
this rich shade has a Directoire jack
ct. with short sides and narrow coat
tails, open waistcoat of Persian panne
and chemisette of tucked ecru NOUS
seine trimmed with gold braid. The
skirt has the front panel and the
back laid in side plaits. The side
cores are vandycked over black vel
vet, covered with cut work of the

One of the prettiest imaginable fan-
mel waists has a bolero and upper
sleeves of a fancy flannel and under
bodice and undersleeves of plain fan
mel to match, or vice versa.
White flannel and white mohair are
popular materials for shirt waists, and
usually are stitched with black and
trimmed literally with tiny black but
tons.
A dressy bodice is made of white
silk, overIaid with tucked black silk
mousseline and rows of black inser-
ton. The collar and yoke are of alter
nate rows of black cording and pink
panne. Scarf and bow of the muslin,
corded on the edge with pink panne,
