Diversions, such as yacht races, va
cations, etc, have materially checked
activity in the stock market, writes
Henry Clews. Besides these interior
ences, it is evident that the big lead
ers are postponing operations until
crop and money conditions are beyond
uncertainty. Still another cause OF
inactivity is that the street has not
yet fully recovered from the severe fit
Of pessimism by which it was attacked
a few weeks ago; while the public, as
usual, awaits some positive indication
of leadership before venturing with
any freedom after such experiences
as recently witnessed, Nevertheless,
confidence is steadily reviving, and
after a period of sufficient rest it is
reasonable to expect both a more &C.
tive and stronger market if unfa-
vorable developments do not interfere.
1t is important to know that nearly
all the forces now at work are either

able financing being at an end. Re-
cent liquidation has left the market in
a somewhat lame and exhausted con-
dition, but the injuries were local and
are daily becoming more favorable to
recovery. Wall street, in it's final ac-
counting, depends upon national pros
perity; and this, fortunately, has not
been seriously interrupted by financial
excuses. Indeed. the Wall street col
lapse, serious as it has been in some
quarters. has had a distinctly bene-
fetal effect in other quarters through
forcing spirit of conservatism in mer-
camille and Industrial circles that was
much needed, and without which we
might have ere long run into a more
serious setback than Wall street exper-
lenced,

THIRD-CLAsS TRAVEL.
Mode Which Sets Everybody at Ease,
Whether OF High or Low
Degree.

Nowadays everybody travels third
that Is, if one may be allowed the ex-
pression-some Of everybody. There is
no class or set of people, unless, of
course, 1t be royalty, of whom we may
not meet representatives in a third
class railway carriage, says the London
Spectator. Every one is on footing of
equality. 1t is perhaps the only per-
fectly neutral ground. We believe there
are men who, ii they never travelled by
train, would never know by actual ex-
perience anything about those below
them in position. But for this meeting
ground the working classes would re-
main for them simply a picture or a
problem. They see crowd in the street;
they discuss wages or the housing
question; they admire the toiling figure
or farm laborer thrown into relief by
a sunset, and wonder, from an aesthetic
point of view, why any one should pre-
fer to live in slum. Beyond this they
know nothing. With the appearance
OF their domestic servants they are, OF
course, familiar, but often they know
little of their personalities. Again.
there are others generally women
who make point of visiting occasion
ally at the houses Of poor people, but
even in this case they often remain
not much the wiser Both hosts and
guests are generally shy and somewhat
embarrassed. They talk respectively
down and up to each others supposed
levels, neither are quite natural and
the end of the interview comes as re-
lief. But in a train we are all at our
ease, even the poorest and the least
educated

WENT TO CHURCH TWICE.
Roosevelt Reception Committee at
Sioux Falls Blunders.

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 6-President
RoOsevelt's special train arrived here
about 8 o'clock Sunday morning and he
was met by delegation headed by
Mayor @. W. Burnside and State Sena-
tor A. H. Stiles. Senator Kittridge also
greeted him. The president was escort
ed to the Catacele hotel by detach-
ments of the two militia companies
here and enjoyed d day of comparative
rest. the first he has had since his trip
began.
He attended church both in the morn
ing and evening and IN the afternoon
went for a horseback ride accompanied
by Seth Bullock, superintendent of the
Black Hills forest reserves.
The fact that President Roosevelt at
tended divine services twice was due to
a mistake on the part Of the local COM
nittee. The committee had the impress
sion that the president was member
of the German Lutheran church and
accordingly arranged to have him at
tend that church in the morning. Later
1t was learned that the president WOr-
shipped at the Dutch Reform church
and arrangements were made to have
services held in the evening at the Liv-
ingstone Reform church here. While it
is not the custom of the president to
attend services on Sunday evening he
consented to make an exception to his
rule when the facts were presented to
him The morning services were con-
Quoted by the Rev. Herman Self. presi-
dent of the German Ellish college at
WelIton Ia, who came here for that
purpose The German language was
used throughout the sermon. The
length of the programme at Milwaukee
did not permit the president TO reach
his car until after midnight He has
been Obliged to announce that hereafter
he will, in the evening, begin speaking
not later than $50 o'clock and win be
back in his car by 10 o'clock. He will
adhere strictly to this rule
A pickpocket tried to work his game
in the crowd gathered in front of the
Lutheran church. Just as the president
was about to enter the edifice a man
who gave his name as G. W Earl took
500 from the pocket of A. Dockstader a
resident of this city. He was detected
in the act. but before he could be seized
he handed the money to a confederate,
who disappeared. Earl was arrested.

was again a very strong demand for July
which next to May. was most active The
bulls maintained their attitude of last
week and did what they could to discour-
age the advance. but were helpless in the
face of the unusual conditions. Over 100
coo bales are due in Liverpool and the
visible supply in this market is barely
half of last year. Good weather, improved
cables and the great excess of exports
over receipts make a combination which
the shorts found impossible TO overcome

its firm tone all through the first hour.

shorts advanced the price of May to $lO.34
