ITALY's EIEcTRIc RAILWAYS
The Trolley System 1R in Vogue anA the Building of Roads I@
 Progressing.

In company with the members o xhe Institute of Electrical Engineers says Mail correspondent of tht London Mail, have visited the Adr1 attic Railway company, Italy, whicf has recently applied electrical work anR to it's 67-mile section of hnt originally built for steam locomotives and running along the shores of the lakes of Lecco and Como and from the junction of Colico to terminus al Sondrio The achievement is likely tc have decided weight in considerations of @ similar nature now daily under discussion in Great Britain. The DOT tion of the Italian railway on which the work has been carried out IS not one that was considered the most Ia vora.ble for the practical demonstra' tion of electrical working, but one oI which it might be considered that if successful result were obtained many other sections offering less onerous conditions could with absolute cer' tainty be readily converted.
 In Investigating the general meth ods that have been followed by fhe en' gineers who have carried out the worB on what is known as the Vafteaf1na section of the Adriaaic company s-sys' tenn, there is practically ro evidence of alteration to the permanent way beyond connecting the rails at every joint with a stout copper wire, so that the return current finds an easy pass sage. It is still possible to run steam locomotives over this part of the rail way, and any of the company's or dinary passenger or goods carriages can be coupled on to the electric train and pulled along just as of old
 Special cars, fitted with electric mo- tors capable of developing 600 heWse power, have been constructed wdt& a small cabin in either end, in which is located the apparatus by which the driver controls the starting, running and stopping of the train. Thesecars weigh about 50 tons each, having a seating capacity of 40 passengers and can haul at speed of 40 miles per hour five coaches. of the ordinary rolling stock. The goods traffic is handled by specially constructed eAec- tric locomotives, resembling in ex- ternal shape those of the Central Loaa- don railway, weighing about 46 tons. and capable of starting a train weighing 27o tons up the steepest in cline of the Valtellina section.
 The electrical energy is conveyed to the trains by means of overhead troll ley wires, such as are seen in every day use in connection with electric tramways, but there is difference in the 'tpressnre" employed of about six to one in order to avoid unnecessary loss in the long transmission along the line The passenger traveting by the train finds that he can sit and en- ioy the view without the objectionable smoke of the locomotive, and that a regular speed is maintained through out the journey. Gradients and curves, which are numerous, are cas- fly surmounted, and there is the satis- faction tothe shareholders of the rail- ways of increased dividends.
 The general success of the under taking can be readily ganged by the fact that a further length oe S1 miles, giving a connection with Milan, will be converted to electrical working aa soon as possible.

East and West Side on the Ball Field
 Yesterday.

The east and west side business men played the much talked of game on Hotchkfss field yesterday afternoon The umpire gave the game to the east sidrs. The game was full of fun and very exciting CD The most interesting features were Manager O'Conne1ts po- lite inxftation to Umpire Croty to get off the field and Attorney Neary's longing to hit the ball Had A P. Mccarthy held down first base for the west sides they would have won the game, so they say, at least 1t is to be hoped the two teams will play again in the near future. Charlie Brennan promises to have his arm in excellent shape for the next game. The score

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April S.-To-days bust
ness at the Stock Exchange aggre-
gated barely 5000 shares, which is
back to the low level of activity. The
fact that Friday is the date also for
the expiration of the Southern Pacific
pool confirmed the disposition to keep
out of the market. There is an almost
infinite variety of conjecture as to
what the effect of this event will be
upon the market at large.
The distinct easing of the money
market yesterday seemed to give no
relief from the pressure of liquidation.
To-day there was distinct relaxation
of this pressure to sell and effective
support at some points where the sell
ing was continued, but the market con-
tinued to hang in suspended and in
animate condition. Yesterdays weak
ness in the United States Steel stocks
was sufficiently explained by the de-
crease in net earnings for the past
quarter reported after the closing yes
terday. The corporations new per
cent. dipped to new low record price
this morning at 1914, but complete re-
covery, following the buying of the
stocks on the exchange was attributed
to the account of inside and syndicate
interests such as have not been per-
ceptible in these stocks for a long time
past This support has been a good
sympathetic effect on the general mar
ket.
The heavy selling of Rock Island,
which was a feature yesterday con-
tinued to-day from the same sources,
but there was evidence of inside sup
port in this stock also, Amalgamated
Copper was decidedly weak in connec-
ton with the violent relapse of Ell lis
Cd per ton in the London price of cop
per- There was some attempt to con-
meet the selling of Amalgamated with
the involved speculative tone in the
bond market. The prospects in the
money market were considered favor
able, but an advance to &c in the call
loan late in the day somewhat chilled
this confidence. The banks have
gained a small amount from the sub
treasury since Friday, and the move
ment of currency on the interior ex-
change is believed to favor New York
Much Importance was attached also
to a report from Philadelphia that the
Pennsylvania Railroad has determined
to repay it's $40000,000 six months
loan maturing in June with the pro-
ceeds of the first installment of sub
scription to its new stock. Wide de-
clines in prices Of dormant stocks

The cotton markets closed without
snecial feature to-day. The demand
for spot cotton was moderate, and
SPECULATION seemed to be on rest. Of
ferings through the f. o. b. market were
fairly free, with basis good middling
currently quoted at 1880. The naval

cline. Turpentine closed firm at SOC,
with the demand fairly good. Whether
this is to last or further declines must
come to develop further demand re-

Baxter and Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, April S-Prices in the cot
ton market opened los points lower to-
day on very moderate business. Ca
bles were without enough feature to
have any effect on local dealings. The
only developments worthy of note were
reports of rain, of which there was an
abundance in Georgia, Alabama and
the Memphis region. This is of no
special consequence, except that it will
simply further delay crop preparations
already so backward. The outcome of
the May corner is still a problem. Re-
markedly higher prices are predicted,
and on the other hand we hear all
sorts of talk as to the amount of cot
ton that will reach this point before
the close of May. But apart from the
May question it is claimed that the
general market is entirely too high,
while others believe that nothing can
seriously weaken prices until the sta
tistical position is weakened decidedly,
and there is nothing to show that it
is going to be weakened. Still the
bear element succeeded in undermine
ing confidence to-day and prices weak
ened after the opening. Port receipts,
$4,000, against 1000 last year. The
