MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, April 21.-This was day of
very active and varied speculation In
stocks, but the campaign for the advance
received rather a severe check. The day
started off with indications of repeti-
ton of the successful tactics adopted last
weak, of heavy buying at some new
points TO offset realizing at other points.
But it so happened that the stocks in
which realizing was attempted. namely
the Western and Pacific stocks. were
acutely depressed by the threat of harm
to the crops and by the leave granted to
the state of Washington to file suit in
the supreme court against the Northern
Securities Co.
The leaders of the campaign for the adj
vance recovered their position to some ex-
tent late in the day by vigorous buy
ing movement in Southern Pacific up to
69A and in Reading and Manhattan,
which were lifted respectively AZ and 81
over Saturday. This induced general
covering movement in the whole market
and in substantial rallies, which materl-
ally reduced the losses but still left
prices generally below Saturday. The
setback came in the face of promising
auspices for the advance.
The steamship merger was accepted as
additional indications of the confidence o.
large capital in continued prosperous con-
ditions. The reports of hot winds in the

Colombo, Ceylon. 1T has been some
two years since the City Dispensary

affect the grain market, but the simple
recital of the temperatures touched at
points in Nebraska. Missouri and ISansds
were sufficient to cause a reflection OF
anxiety in the stocks Of the roads run

showers may have had to do with the late
rally in the market.

A New Tax System in Ohio.

Those interested in tax reforms and
experiments will watch with close IT.
tention the operation of new system
which Is to be tried in Ohio. by tne
passage of the Cole bill which now be-
comes a law, the Ohio Legislature has
taken radical and far-reaching step
by completely abandoning the direct
property tax as a means of raising
State revenue. The newly adopted
scheme requires all quasi-public cor
porations to pay into the State treas
ury tax of 1 per cent. on their gross
incomes. This law doubles the rate of
tax imposed a few years ago as the
entering wedge of the general tax re-
form scheme advocated by Governor
Nash in his messages to the legislature.
A still further advance in the reorgani-
cation of the tax system of the state
was the passage of the Willis bill
which requires Ill private corporations
formed for purposes of profit to pay a
tax of one-tenth Of l per cent. on their
capital stock. 1t is reported that the
plan of reorganization will be still fur
Their extended before the session closes
by the enactment of law levying a
tax of 21a per cent. of their premiums
on all foreign insurance companies
doing business in the state.
1t is estimated that the Cole and
Willis laws together with the proposed
tax on foreign insurance companies,
will add nearly 100000 a year to the
state revenues. It is reasonable to
suppose also that the revenues from
this source will constantly increase as
the state grows in industrial wealth
and the earnings of the corporations
become larger. Under this reorganiZa =
ton as at present planned the property
taxes, both on real estate and PERSONAL
ty. will be left to the counties and mu-
inequalities and when carried out to its
final completion the revenue for the
state government will be derived en-
tirely from the corporations.

We shall never know whether it was

Stockton has died with his lips sealed,
and no other man knew which it was
that came forth from that door. In
fact, Mr.. Stockton always declared
that he himself never knew, but the
world has refused to believe him. 1t
was perhaps the most famous short
story ever written. It's limitations
have been legion, but the original
stands alone Mr.. Stockton has been a
busy writer for many years. and has
pleased and amused the world with
many novels and stories, but by "The
Lady or the Tiger" and 'Rudder
Grange" he will be best remembered.
His stories are always wholesome,
their humor abundant and the style
easy. Few writer's have been able to
make the most improbable adven-
lures and impossible situations seem
as real and vivid as they do in his sto-
ries. They well deserve their wide
popularity in this country and in Eng
land.

having the same where it rightfully be-
longs there is probably only one way
out OF it and that is by the appointment
of a commission to whom the matter
will be left by the court. This par
ticular town line is the only one which
gave any trouble when the work of
looking over the town lines was done,
last year. and much time has already
been expended to get at the facts. The
old line recognized for a number of
years seems to be ona curve and there
appears to be no way of avoiding
trouble. The man whose boundary
line in his deed is that long recognized
as the town line, may lose hand by the
change and quite number of property
holders will be affected no matter
which way the line is Strengthened.

Editor Dunning claims for Captain
John Smith Of jamestown, Va, the
honor Of being the original American
fish liar. He wrote to a friend that so
many fish were being speared off the
shore of the colony that at times the
water was red with their blood. No
wonder Pocahontas felt the tribe
couldn't afford to lose a gentleman of
such talents! Sacred and profane
literature are filled with fish stories
so numerously that the word has come
to be a synonym Of everything in
credible. No matter how loud or how
long man talks nowadays-or indeed
at any day since the time of Queen
Elizabeth, the one word which will
puncture him and make the struc-
ture of his thought resemble q debated
balloon is "Fishy." 1t is always the
last word, just before the battle. The
angle germ is terror that walketh at
monday. 1t fastens on the human
frame and stays till death. The
symptoms of the resultant fever are
terrifying indeed-sleepless nights,
restlessness about 3 A. NJ, desire to go
out of doors in pouring rains, neglect Of
business, distaste for the arts and
sciences. Indifference to the benefits
Of religion, absence from church, ten
dency to associate with powders,
pastes, buffers, liquids and compounds
intended to kill insects but a menace
to the integrity of the family, gross
extravaganza in the accumulation of
bamboo rods and other accoutrements,
and a total disregard for the truth or
for any Of the established institutions
of society. He who fishes is lost, no
doubt. But they do say it is great
sport at Sebago and likewise at
CobboSseecontee.

Editor Dunning of the Portland Adj
vertiser has been making short range
study of fishermen and the fishing
habit. 1t is timely study and his OBJ
servatlons are of much interest. He
remarks that If every day'll be Sunday
by and by, no less is every day at this
time Of the year a Friday, in that it is
dedicated to fish. Many respectable
citizens who at other seasons are con-
tent to be the worthy heads of their
families and to walk soberly between
the curbings to business daily, rise at
unholy hours and HE them to the cOun-
try where the swollen ponds offer
tempestuOuS joys for the hardy
angler. 1t is strange disease. 1t is
said Of good fishermen that they are
the only men on the planet who can be
satisfied with nothing. The rest of us
demand that whatever we do shall
have some results-and the more labor
the larger the product. But to the true
angler there is no such ethics. He is
glad for opportunity, whatever it
brings him-or does not bring him. To
be fisherman of the first class you
must be quite willing to skin your nose,
prick your fingers. sit with your feet in
icewater. wear unspeakable apparel,
go without food, be abused by road
side urchins. joyously lie until you are
black in the face, and after all come
home empty-handed. In sportsman
ship seems to lie the essence Of
spiritual patience.

An Aroostook correspondent says
that indications now point to a light
hay crop in that county the coming
summer. The snow disappeared much
earlier than is usual, and the cold
nights during the past week or two,
with the ground unprotected by it's
mantle of snow, have served to work
havoc in the clover fields. the roots be-
ing killed by the cold. However, con-
siderable depends on the weather yet
to come. and here's hoping Aroostook
may have its usual good-sized crop of
hay this season. Next to potatoes
shipping hay to outside markets forms
about as large part of it's income as
anything else.
