Vines growing over the framework of
this particular spot render it cool and
shady. Inside of the inolosure, run
ming all around the supports, are box
shelves, lidded with wire gauze,
where the snails are confined.
Snails are great trave lers. If not
guarded they wander faI. from home.
so here they have plenty of room and
comfortable quarters. Each box is
furnished with sections of porous
earthen pipe, where the little crea-
lures may retreat at night or in cold
weather, attaching themselves to the
inner surfaces by means of yiscous
fluid which oozes from around the
edges of the shell.
The first snails imported from
France by Nine. P,.rnot were of the
variety escargot Bourgogne, but they
did not long SURVIVES. The smaller va
riety, escargot Boulxlelaise, were then
tried, and the three dozen which ar
rived in the month of June in good con-

There was some credence for d | suggestion that the marketing of the new stock just announced had involved 1 the creation of large short interest in 1 the market, for the relief of which new stock will not be available as delivery | until the formalities of listing on the 1 stock exchange have been compiled with.

 The rest of the market showed the ef-
 feet of realizing at the last and some
 important stocks closed with net losses,
 notably New York Central, Manhattan,
 Chicago and Northwestern stocks and
 Rock Island. Some of the minor rail-
 road stocks which have recently ad-
 vanced were also sufferers While
 large number of important stocks were
 included in the advance, the moVe-

 many prominent stocks were neglected and sluggish, United States Steel stocks
 still conspicuously so. There was also
 the usual assortment of violent move-

The late furry in the call money market was reminder of the narrow resources of the present money market to supply any extensive specu- lative movement, but it did not affect the determined buying of the central element in the speculation. The easier tone of exchange was attributed to re- newed borrowing from foreigners in- duced by the present profit level of in- terest rates here.

h Notable Speculative Movement.

New York, April 9-There was a mo-
 table speculative movement in the
 stock market to-day which universally
 is attributed to the operations of an
 important combination of wealthy
 western men who were important fac
 tors in the constituent companies going to make up the United States Steel Cor
 poration, before that corporation was organized. In the ordinary acceptance of the terms there was no news to ex- plain the movement of stocks or the enormous buying which caused it. There was abundance of rumor, which centered mostly about Louisville and Nashville, which was again the leader of the market in point of activity and sustained strength. The rumors reach ed the stage of an alleged formation of a community of interest project for the whole southern field which would SUD- pOsedly take in the Southern Railway, Illinois Central and possibly minor systems. In fact, rumor did not go into elaborate detail when it ar rived at this stage. There were minor explanations growing out of the an nounced policy on the part of the road to extend into new territory which in- volyed the absorption of connecting

 day.
 New York, April 9.-Again we had a tolerably firm opening of the stock mar ket brought about in a measure by en- couraging advices from London and a genuine satisfactory development of affairs at home. There is az reat diver gence of opinion as to what the govern ment report on condition of winter wheat crop will be, the trade at least as far as professional operators are concerned, prognosticate low condi- ton as compared with last year when for April it was 91.7 which was way ahead of the condition of previous years because in 1900 it was S2.1, in 1899 it was 77.9, in 1898 it was 867, in 1897 it was S1.4 and 1896 it was I'll.
 We have tried to sound people gener- ally well versed in the grain market and they tell us that there is absolutely nothing threatening in the reports they get as to crops or preparations as to spring wheat which has gone into ground so far under favorable condi- tions.
 Corn also with the increased acreage now under consideration in the south and southwest is promising. Europe was a moderate buyer of stocks here, the balance of trade probably amount ed to 10000 shares in favor of purchases of various kind. There were no new de- velopments at least as far as the aver age operator could see to influence to- days market Commission house busi- ness is slowly broadening but is not as large as it was at this time a year ago and yet the substrata of business in general are much better than at that time. Money market unchanged for time but call rates are still to ' per cent
 Wheat has been steadier on expecta- tion of a comparatively unfavorable bu- reau report tomorrow. We are not against prices of wheat but we think there is very little encouragement with the exception of foreign orders to buy it.
 Cotton acts strong and in our opinion all indications to higher prices. We re- iterate that the early new crop months seem to us cheap purchases.
 The stock market in the closing hour lost nothing in it's strength or final be- | lief of higher values hereafter Reali- | zations of profits of course took place | but in the main there was a good un | dertone and faith in present values. The | final close was strong and indicating | higher plan of values. Total sales 977, 900

The conventions at Lancaster last
week attracted correspondents here OF
the rival Milwaukee newspapers and a
war has been on ever since over the re-
ports as sent in by these correspon-
dents. Dwight T. Parker of Fenni-
more, chairman of the Republican
County Central committee, and by the
way one who should take an impartial
view of state politics in an endeavor to
promote party harmony and success
for Republicans in Grant county, has
taken sides in favor of the Free-P Press,
the Stephenson La Toilette organ, and
in lengthy letter to that paper Tues
day declares the Milwaukee Sentinel
correspondent view of the convention
as "pure rot" The Herald differs with
Mr.. Parker in his statement that it
was due to respect for Col. Clark only
that the latter's decision was not cor
tested and over-ruled in the matter Of
endorsing the state administration.
A poll taken Of the delegates would
have found two-thirds of them to have
been decidedly stalwart and the COVER
nor's henchmen very wisely concluded
to let the matter rest. Mr.. Parker
was so disappointed over the cool re-
ception given his La Toilette resolu-
lions that he took the first train for
home and was not in attendance upon
the congressional convention proper
on the following day. The Herald is
not DESTROYS of carrying this state
scrap into county affairs, and we heart
ily favored Col. Clarks ruling, still at
the same time we do not believe it the
duty of the Republicans in Grant
county to sit way back and allow Gov.
La Toilette to dictate affairs in our
county conventions.

Protege of Beverage Gets the Prize.
The secretary of state state geOlo-

late. court were nominated by accla-
nation. For every other position on
the ticket there was warm fight.
The principal contestant the one
upon which the most interest centered
was the nomination for attorney gen.
eral. Miller was generally credited
with being a prOtege of Senator Bey-
eridge and he comes from Goshen, i'll
which place Judge Baker, who was
recently appointed to the federal
bench at the instance of Beveridge,
also resides. Miller's opponents tried
hard to make this tell against him,
saying that Goshen had received as
much patronage as it could expect.
The final vote was: Miller, 9041a;
Bingham, 357A: Moores, 422; Dean, 3.
Defeated Ones Are Not Kicking.
A warm fight resulted in the vote
for clerk of the supreme court, result
ing in the nomination of Robert A.
Brown on the third ballot +. A. Cot
ton, of Newcastle, was nominated for
superintendent of public instructor on
the third ballot. Although the contests
were exceedingly warm, not one of
the defeated aspirants showed any
outward bitterness, and in every in
stance the nomination of the success
full man was made unanimous by ac-
clamatiOn, the motion to that effect

walls. The convention adjourned sine

The plan to change the day Of inaug-
uration of presidents from March 4th
to the end OF April, by amendment of
the constitution; has been dragging
through several congresses. There is
no very strong reason for it except to
give the people of Washington gayer
holiday. Real life might be given to
this proposal by uniting with it the
change of the day of the meeting of
congress from December to the pre-
vious January-tw instead of thir-
teen months after the election of mem
bers. This would be a reform of &C.
tual public Importance. 1t would en-
able members-elect to begin their work
when fresh from the people, and would
prevent the present absurdity of re-
jected members sitting and legislating
for whole session after their success
sors perhaps of different political
views-had been chosen.
