Matter of Music,


Something of a hornets nest seems to
have been stirred up by the recent an
nouncement of Chairman E. B. Hay of the
music committee that patriotic airs should
not be played by the bands In the parade
to the exclusion of all others, naming par
t!cularly ragtime. Among~the protests that
have been received was the following,
which came this morning from Miss Nam
ME g. Davis, secretary Lincoln Woman's
Relief Corps, No q, Department of the Po-
tomac:
AT the regular meeting of Lincoln W. r.
G., NO. ., l was instructed by unanimous
vote OF said body of $50 patriotic women
to write to you, entering our most solemn
protest against the action Of the chairman
on music for the coming encampment, that
he will arrange his program and instruct
all bands. so that patriotic and national
airs only be played to the exclusion of rag
time and all such during encampment
week. There is nothing to these old de-
tenders of the country so soul inspiring as
these weu-krown' and well-loved tunes
with which all of them are familiar. Es-
pecially is ii appropriate that here in our
national capital. where so many Of these
same old soldiers marched after the war

ANOTHER Big DEALCL0SED
c.. r.. +. & y. SECURES VALUABLE
TERMINALS AT ST. LOUIS.
No More 100 Miles an Hour Runs on
the G., r.. q Q.-Numerous OfficiaI
Changes in Railroad Circles.

NJ. a. Low. general attorney for the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific, at St. Louis,
stated yesterday that his road had pur-
chased the ST. Louis, Kansas City & Colo
RADIO Railroad, operating between st. Louis
and Union. Mo-. and had authorized the
Mercantile Trust Company TO negotiate for
the purchase of the Virgins Ferry stock
az $500 a share. With the purchase of the
ST. Louis. Kansas City & Colorado Railroad
the Rock Island secures right of way into
st. Louis and with the acquisition of the
property of the Virgins Ferry Company
ample terminal facilities will be had. Mr..
Low declined 10 state the price paid for the
Colorado road, negotiations for which. he
said had been going on for several weeks.
He said the Mercantile Trust Company had
secured an option on a majority of the
stock of the Virgins Ferry Company, the
purchase price of which would be more than
the 100000 recently mentioned.
THE Colorado Railroad" said Mr.. Low,
was bought several weeks ago, but final
papers were not signed until last week.
With this property we have the right of
way into ST. Louis and the Virgins ferry
holdings will give us ample terminal facili-
ties. | am assured-and | have no reason
whatever to doubt the correctness of my
b~elief-that the Rock Island road has a
majority of the ferry capital stock. The
Mercantile Trust Company is simply act
ing as our agent. The original proposition
was made in New York by President Soul
len, of the ferry company. After a con-
ference with the Rock Island directors the
sum of $500 was offered for each share and
Mr.. Sctllen said he thought he could get
the stock at that price. When he returned
to st. Louis the Mercantile Trust Company
was officially authorized to represent us.
l believe this movement on the part of the
Rock Island will be of immediate benefit
to st. Louis. 1t will mean that there will
be a competitor to meet on terminal bust
ness here. as with the ferry property we
Will have ample facilities for handling
freight on this and the other side of the
river"
Mr.. Low advanced the opinion that the
Rock Island would probably expend a large
sum for improvements. The largest holders
OF Colorado Railroad stock were David r.
Francis and John j.. Scullen, president of
the Virgins Ferry Company. At present
the road has only built to Union, Mo, but
is being extended 10 Kansas, where il will
meet the Rock Island. There was no
change to-day in the contest between the
Mississippi and Mercantile trust companies
over the Virgins ferry stock Both sides
still hold firmly that lIe controlling inter-
est has not yet passed.

LOCAL TRADE IMPROVING
BUYERS COMING IN WITH THE AD-

Prices on Several Lines of Dry Goods

Well Maintained.

With the spring-like weather trade Is
p~erceptibly improving. The dry gooos
houses are enjoying excellent business. on
several lines of goods advances were mace
yesterday and all lines. merchants say, are
very strong in tone. They also say that'
despite the cool weather which has pre-
vailed through April, their business has
handsomely exceeded that of April. 1901.
The wholesale grocers are, as well, very
we'll satisfied with the business of April IN
the aggregate. In no line of trade has there
been so few changes in values as In gro
ceries. Sugars and coffees have been some
what unsettled. but prices have varied but
little during the entire month. Druggists
are having a good trade. especially in oils,
paints, etc. Linseed oil has gone lie long
est time in many months without change
prices seemingly having settled on a more
permanent basis. The leather market Is
frmer. but not quotably higher The hide
market is very firm at the advance OF Mon
day, il now being q OF a cent higher than
on April 1. The produce market seems
daily on the verge of breaking in prices.
but it continues much the same. owing TO
the large sumpt increased receipts
not even affecting prices greatly. only IN
butter has there been any decline in prices
calling for note. On Commission row Irish
potatoes continue king as TO prices, but rev

toes are about off the market. Cabbage Is
more plenty and prices are easing of. Or
anges are still in fair supply and prices un-
hanged. Lemons are moving better ana
prices are hrmer. Green stun is In good
supply and selling at low prices for the sea-
son. New tomatoes are coming in from the
South more freely and prices are easier. In
trade circles everything moves along WITH
out any friction or any marked excitement,
it being unusual in the spring OF the year
to have so few fluctuations in values. rms
is due in some measure TO the fact that on
