THE STOCK MARKET.
Activity and Variety In Last Half Hour
 of Yeatsrd dny's Trading.

New York, March 14-There was
 more activity and variety in the last
 half hour of to-day's stock market than
 during any other period of the session.
 A buoyant rise in the Erie stocks, led | by the second preferred and followed | by the other coalers, caused covering
 movement among the shorts all around
 the room and smart rise in prices. 1 The bears rallied their forces and raid
 ed stocks here and there sufficiently to | check the advance and unsettle the | close. The advance in Erie second pre- ferred and the final bulge was 4R, and the other coalers rose between 1 and 2
 points in sympathy. The St. Paul divi- dend increase seemed to fall flat on the
 market. The expectation of the after
 noon action had held the market in check all through the day The stock
 was run up ? points during the morn ing, but when the increase in the divi
 dend was announced selling to realize
 wiped out all but small fraction of
 the rise.
 It looked as though the heaviness in
 St. Paul would carry down the whole
 market until the rise in the Fries stiff fened the tone. For the rest the mar ket was rather dull and narrower than of late. It continued to be characterize ed by the movement of specialties to large extent The southwestern railroad stocks continued in large demand on the general ground of the prosperity of that region of the country and the ex- pectation of a coming amalgamation of important railroad properties there. The Wabash securities came to the front in the movement and were bought on a very large scale.
 Many of the minor railroad properties continued unusually conspicuous on the professed belief in their coming absorp- tion by the great systems. Several of the subsidiary Vanderbilt lines were in- cluded in this movement to-day. Chi cago, Indianapolis and Louisville and New York, Chicago and St. Louis first preferred moved up points, and other stocks of those companies and Canada Southern between 1 and points, Lake Erie and Western, after an early ad- vance of point, broke and closed un- The Minneapolis and St. Louis stocks rose for the common and 21s for the preferred. St. Louis and San Francisco suffered from realizing, losing at one time 11a.
 There was large realizing going on under cover of the points of strength, and many stocks which advanced re- acted on profit taking during the course of the day. Amalgamated Copper after | early weakness turned very strong, closing with a net gain of 19s. Conti- mental Tobacco preferred rose 3A per ,ent.
 The continued ease of call money, in ! spite of the calling of some loans, qui- 1 sted apprehension on the score of mon- " rates. The calling of loans was in for to-morrow's large divi- lend disbursements, including $20,OO0,- 100 by the Standard Oil company The | disbursement of these dividend funds is ooked forward to to replenish the mon " market or to find employment in the tock market. It is worthy of notice in

ENTERTAINMENTS
Hyperion rheatcr.

| The benefit performances to be given | by the White Rats of America, with | their own vaudeville company, will take place at the Hyperion tonight and to- morrow matinee and night. A glance at the programme will be sufficient to
 expect something, which has never be- fore been seen, or equalled in this city.
 The headliners to appear, and they are all headliners, will comprise Maurice
 Barrymore and company and Dorothy Morton. Comment is needless as far as these entertainers are concerned. Thelr
 reputation is world wide. Then we see,
 or will see, Eddie Gerard. late of Don- nelly and Gerard, who brought "Natur-
 al Gas" into so much prominence, MT.
 Gerard being known as one of the fun
 niest men in comedy. He will produce sketch in conjunction with Miss Jes- sic Gardner. George Evans, the best,
 absolutely the best black faced singing comedian in America, and Tom Lewis,
 who was one of the principal end men in Primrose and Vests, and the Haver- ly minstrels. His partner Sam J. Ryan, late a star with Mark Murphy in "O'Dowd's Neighbors" and who also made hit with Barry and Fay-will appear, and probably the greatest hit will be made by Polk and Rollins, who are by far the greatest banjo players in the world. All these will appear at the benefit performance, and many more, so that there can be no possible reason of the entertainment falling short in any degree from those lately given in New York city.
 Seats now on sale. Prices: Night, 25c S5c, soc, 75c, S1. Matinee, 25c, 50. No higher.

this connection that some of the recent buying of stocks is attributed to inter- ests who will benefit by morrow's dividend distribution.
 London bought quite freely in this market, and especially of Chicago Great Western, and a cheerful tone was re- ported there by reason of the belief in early peace in South Africa. Sterling exchange hardened here in spite of cas- fer money in London and the buying of stocks here for London account. Buy ing for remittance /on account of sub scriptions to German municipal loans is believed to be the cause of the higher exchange rate.

 President Fox's Report.
 In submitting this, my report fer the second year of the Commercial League of Pine Bluff, I will say, that while the work accomplished by tha league has not been what we had hoped for, still there has been some work done. And the very existence of commercial body, that means concert of action on any public ques- tion by our business men, is an in- portant feature for our city The league has worked during the year with some newspaper men that re- suited in advertising our city and bringing to the notice of the world our commercial importance.
 would again call your attention to bills that have been introduced by our law makers that would result in keeping out capital that wish to in vest in factories, also other legisla- tion that would cause the withdrawal from our state the strongest insur- ance in the state, and would suggest that We use our pedsuasive powers to counteract such legislation.

To keep up the interest in something bet

sequently rearrange themselves into more
natural order In the first half of each
month the odd numbered player can chal-

a good appetizer in the way of interest.

HOLDS WIFI HAND.
Freedman Slated to Jump to Ameri-
can League Next Month,


In spite of all the talk about the Ameri-
can Base Ball League having made ar
rangements to enter New York city it is
deemed certain by those on the inside that
no actual move has been: made to place
club there on any known grounds. 1t Is
denied in New York that the lot at 59th
street and 10th avenue has been leased.
This comes, according to New York pa
pers, from the persons who control the
land there.
President Ban s. Johnson and his col
leagues of the American are now looking
forward to the National League meeting
next month, when, it is believed, a split
may occur.
The ten-year agreement has expired, and
the probable program, surmised by
those who hope for disruption in the Ma
tional, is that Freedman will order things
around and demand a lot of hard condi-
tions before he will consent to renewal
Of the agreement.
Then, it is supposed, some Of the dele
gates will kick over the traces ard refuse
to pull.
Freedman, on the other hand, may jump
to the American League as the result Of
having two strings to his bow, and the
American will be in New York for good.
