YESTERDAY'S STOCK MARX Fl.

Modification of Merger Decision Ad-
 vamces Prices but Reaction Follows.
 New York, April 20.-There was much hesitation and irregularity in to- days stock market. This tendency was attributed in the early part of the ses- sion to the dread that the United States circuit court at St. Paul would refuse the petition of the Northern Securities company to modify the decree against the company, pending the appeal so as to allow the payment of dividends by the Northern Pacific and Great North ern companies to their stockholders. The general expectation in Wall street was that the petition would be refused and the unexpected decision in favor of the modification caused a precipitate buying movement, in which the short sellers of the morning were conspicu- ous. This advance met opposition be- fore it had proceeded far and prices were carried backward again, after which the market hung practically stagnant for a time. The professionals bid up prices again at the last to the top level, and the market closed steady with showing of net gains reaching point or over for a number of the conspicuous leaders To-days modifi- cation Of the Northern Securities de- cree leaves the situation of the com pany practically unaffected until the supreme court shall have decided final ly the question at issue. The move- ment of Northern Securities affected the general market all day.
 The early stock market fiuctuated un- certainly between the contending infiu- ences of the strength in the Gould group and the weakness of Reading. The depressing factor against Reading was the investigation by the interstate commerce commission of the coal com b1natlon The lockout reported at the Reading collieries owing to a dispute over the Saturday hours for work helped to depress Reading and some of the other coalers and the Penns, lvania group lost ground in sympathy.
 The bond market was dull but quite steady. Last weeks dealing in bonds reached an aggregate in the par value of $l5, 5,5o0, which is decrease of no less than 46 per cent. compared with the corresponding period of last year. Total sales par value $2,435,0O0.
 United States threes coupon and the old fours declined IA per cent. The new fours advanced IA per cent. on the last call.

Two more students in the advanced
class of the school of Jurisprudence and

signified their intention to appear upon
the stage Tuesday to receive the degree
of doctor of civil law, in spite OF the
fact that Mrs. Bailey will also receive
this honor. They are Edwin c. Dutton
and John K. Hench.
This leaves but three of the class who
are still TO be heard from, one of whom
IS now out OF town. Dutton and Hench
say that they, too, protested to the fac

a degree. They were led to this action
by adverse statements of persons not
connected with the university in regard
to Mrs. Bailey's thesis. They say that
having since learned the faculty had
passed favorably upon this thesis, they
have decided to present themselves for

Their position is defined in the fol-

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
Our names have appeared several
times in the local papers recently, in
articles stating in substance that we
would not take the degree of D. c. L.
from Columbian University June be-
cause of the action OF the faculty con-
cerning the graduation of one OF the
members of the class.

p--sident adverse statements which had
been made By persons not connected
with the university pertaining to the

that the best interests of the instisu-

We have since learned that the
faculty have passed favorably upon said
thesis. and we shall present ourselves
for our degree on the evening of the
