physicians who examined her she was
married and had four children. Then
she increased the number of children

New York, March 22.-The inter-

the most strength at he outset We're
freely sold, especially the Changers and
E.ies. Meanwhile many of the minor
railroads and industrials were brought
strongly upward.
Some of the active stocks which de-
cined early, were helped by sudden
uplift in Burlington to 1874. RecOveries
however, were not we'll held and there
was heavy realizing among the special
ties which had risen earlier. Pool ma

sorbed heavily, the common rising 4ss
and the preferred 81. Prices We're low

Prices continued to run off until sharp
advances in the Wabash issues served
as steadying influence. North Ameri-

stocks recovered a point in sympathy
but prifit taking continued heavy The
closing was inactive and irregular, above
