IN THE STREET TODAY
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS,


New York, April IS-With the London
stock exchange still closed for Easter
Monday. there was nothing to indicate
the outside view OF the Northern Securi-
ties decision before the opening here.
Prices declined sharp fractions and in
some cases made immediate rccoverics,
showing a very feverish tone. Secondary
prices were better than the first prices.
Prices moved htfully. though there was an
upward movement. The most important
losses were partially recovered under the
influence OF supporting orders. and prices
rose substantially above Saturdays close.
St. Paul, New York Central. Ama!gamated
and sugar showed special hrmness and
offset scattered selling OF less wel-kuown
stocks. Southern Pacific fuctuated fever
ishy between s7H and s5B. Near /:
o'clock the market became heavy and de-
clined below the opening prices on active
selling. Reading gained "a, ST. Paul.
Union Pacific Canadian Pacific, Baltimore
& Ohio, Northwestern and Amalgamated

Northern Securities OH the curb sold
from Io2 u to Ior.
Prices showed close sympathy with the
movement OF Northern Securities on the
curb. Support for that stock accompanied
the rally on the exchange, but the North
crn Securities, after momentary rally,
broke violently TO oSH, loss from Thurs-
days final prices of sB.
This led to renewed liquidation Ola thc
stock exchange. Losses reached to
points in the Pacifcs, Atchison. 81. Paul.
Rock Island. Texas & Pacific. Reading,
Baltimore & Ohio and other leading active
stocks Dealings were in large volume on
the break.
Bonds were heavy at noon, in sympathy
with stocks.
A drive against the Gould and Southern
stocks checked a momentary rally and
prices sagged rapidly. Texas & Pacific
broke 4, United States Express 3M, New
Haven 5, ST. Louis & San Francisco Al,
and American Express and Lackawanna
10, United States Steel preferred dropped
ass to 80. Southern Pacific fell to 5Als
and bounded up again to Sc, with some
slight effect on other active stocks.
Liquidation was renewed on a large
scale Just before 1 o'clock and in St.
Paul. Baltimore & Ohio, Union Pachc,
Reading and Missouri Pacific losses gen.
orally ran from 2H to over 4 points. In
the active list prices were the lowest Of
the current downward movement
There were few feeble rallies when
the pressure OF liquidation was momentar-
lily relaxed but prices dropped weakly
again to the lowest OF the day before 2

source OF disturbance. the Union. Southern
Pacific controversy. has been partially relieved
by liquidation Of the Southern Pacific pool. as
well as by the legal decision that Union Pacific
may vote its majority holdings in the southern
Pacific. Even the appeal against this decision
was construed favorably a. IL pos,poncs hos
titics and will doubtless result in sustaining
the present decision. 4 good deal OF unen,i'
ness has been felt over the Northern Securities
case. As this will be appealed, its effect will
not be so serious as feared besides. the dcci.
sion comes when prices are down. and viii
were at top level. Approximations of an unia.
yorablc decision have been current ior many
months and had much TO do with the late
decline. a great deal has been said about
undipcstcd securities. Some OF the estimates
spread abroad are undoubtedly exaggerated:
yet IL is trre that the amount OF securities held
al first hands for sale is unusually heavy.

ing Of the Northern Securities decision, says:
"1his decision should affect but few stocks
for any length OF time. and at present all the
Western railroads seem TO have about all the
traffic that they can accommodate. With the
full restoration OF the money market 10 normal
conditions. the Southern Pacific affair practi-

sion at least partly discounted, IL would seem
that at last all the bad news was out. Icchni'
cally the stock market may be said to he IN
very strong position There is undoubtedly 2
very small amount of stock now held on weak
margin. and there is considerable short IN
tercst that has yet 90 cover. quite possibly on
advancing prices \ very strong bull card IS
likely to be played over the holidays, especial
~ bearing on the Granger stocks, namely. the
first Of the monthly reports issued by the agri-
cultural department at Washington on the
winter wheat. Experts claim that the showing
thus far indicates the biggest crops ever raised
in this country Past experience shows what
this will do for the Granger roads and without
extremely uniavorabc developments OF some
other sort this should mean large advance
this summer in the price OF Atchison and Mis-
souri Pacific. even should prices first work a
little lower. IL Is too early OF this writing TO
predict the course OF prices today (Monday),
but temporary slump is probable"

but il seems that the gentleman was
sane and rational enough TO know what
he went out there for. He knew what IS
cents was worth and what it was for, and
he took it, When they began shooting he
had sense enough TO run down that hill
and get into that buggy and whip tie
horse like a Tarta, so the other gentle
man associated with him said, and | think
it would be foolish to have another trial

You can go on and perfect your appeal
you have a year to do it,
"Well, Mr.. Kirby, Section 3oa Of Tie
Penal Code makes robbery punishable by
a term of not less than one year nor more
than 20 years in state prison, and you
were convicted of previous olfense and
sentenced to IL years, and the habitual
criminal practice act provides that where
a party was previously convicted, the pun
ishment can not be less than 10 years.
In this case | will give you 10 years
for the former conviction and 20 years for
this conviction. The sheriff of Silver
Bow county will take you TO TIE state
prison and see that the sentence is exc
cutcd."
The prisoner sat undisturbcd and APP
parently too sick to be interested in the
talk OF the court during its delivery, and
he never even winked an eyelid at its
finish. Mr. Mackel took an exception to
the order of the court denying the trial
for insanity, and deputy sheriff took the
prisoner back to jail to prepare for his re-
moval to the pentitentiary.

conference was held this afternoon
between Samuel G. Gosnell and NJ. J.!
Fitzpatrick Of the board of education and
County Treasurer Denny, when the county
treasurer said he was certain that enough
taxes could be secured in advance to make
up the $4,000 necessary to keep the
schools running.
The county attorney reported that this
method of securing the taxes in advance
would be legal, and that so long as the

New York, April I3.--IIenry Clews in his

For the next 90 days at least money market
conditions should improve. Funds will shortly
begin to return from the interior, and the
season is approaching when ordinary business
demands tend to diminish rather than increase
1t would be folly TO assume that this means
very easy rates for money. On the contrary,
good rates are likely TO prevail during the
renal nder OF the year; but loanabe funds will
Aprl, and good borrowers with satisfactory
collateral will have no difficulty in securing
reasonable accommodations. This means that
market will be vsibly moderated, and prices
should respond correspondingly. Another

While the conference was in session
the Mill and Smcltermen's union sent
word that it could raise about 10000 to
be used for the purpose Of keeping the
schools open, but the committee in charge
did not think this would be necessary, as
it thought the advance taxes will be suf-
fcent.
The board OF education requests that
all persons who are willing to pay their
taxes in advance send their names either
TO the board or to the county treasurer.

Camille IHpiess. a noted naturalist.
records q remarkable case of animal
saracity. AT the foot of the Jura
mountains In the canton of Vaud there
liyea q fnj1er who raises edible snails
(hSli biaAtia). He has as many as
sc, OO61cSkom at one time In an inclos-
ure surrounded by wooden fence
about two feet high. To prevent the
escape of the mollusks the top of the
fence II covered with board. the edge
of which u armed with sharp metallic
points. Lately the snails have discov-
cred the means to surmount this bar
rier. A number of them climbed the
fence until they reached the top, then
forming . sort of ladder, those behind
passed over the shells of the others in
front, and 80 all but one got safely
over the top without being impaled
ON the metal points. This simple
story proves" says M. Spiess, that
the vineyard snail is not without cum

evidence OF reasoning faculty such
as we have never before encountered
in his actions" One must go very low
