STOCKS AND BONDS.


New York, April 2s.-The listless drift
ing to which the stock market is becom-
ing accustomed was again notably in evi-
dence today. The board room was prac-
tcally idle the latter part of the day,
and brokers were driven to while away
time with such pranks as brokers are
prone to. With money TO be had on al
most nominal terms there is no pressure
on anybody TO sell stocks to realize cash,
and no one not forced to do would at
tempt to market holdings in such a mar
row and apathetic market as that exist
ing. On the other hand there seems TO
be nothing in the conditions of the pros
poets that can induce the buying of
stocks, in spite of the redundant facili
ties to be had in the way of borrowed
money. The consequence is the deep leth-
argy of capital which the market is wit
Messing, with puzzled guesses as to how
and when it may end. Indications are
plain that the outgo of gold will continue
under heavy scale, supplies here are
redundant and Paris is calling home her
capital from all availab quarters The
Sterling rate at Paris sank to 25 francs,
10 centimes today, thus widening the
margin of profit on gold shipments from
New York, in spite of an easier tendency
of sterling here. The payment of the
so, 100000 70 the Panama government was
also announced from Washington. but
no effect was produced in the local money
market. and practically all apprehension
has passed that the conclusion of the
Panama payments will cause any dis
turbance TO the money market. Yet the
market is obviously sensitive to the Of
ferines of any fresh claims on capital
resources. Projected capital issues are
known 10 be large. including the fund
ing of much of the temporary note is
sues now outstanding for railroad COM
panies. II is believed that many of the
projected issues will have claims on earn
ings ahead of those now outstanding, and
this, undoubtedly. is one of the influences
repressing any demand for present issues.
The formidable decrease of $4,000 in the
Eries net earnings for March. bringing
the decline for the nine months of the
fiscal year up TO s2,155, ,6l4, weakened the
stocks of that company and had a damp
ening influence on the whole railroad list
The sympathetic effect of these declines
was TO check the hardening tendency
elsewhere. due principally to early SYM
pathy with a revival OF activity and
strength in the London stock marke:.
Amalgamated Copper, which sold ex-div-
idend, was lifted nearly point, and An
aconda jumped six points. The weather
news was favorable to crop prospects, but
was of little effect on stocks. There was
some pressure on United States Steel
preferred, but the stock recovered to
shade above last night. The market
closed stagnant
Bonds were neglected and about steady.
Total sales, par value. $2,075.O0O
United States bonds were unchanged

MARKET GOES Lower
Eogs Decline Strong Five
Cents--Receipts Heavy
S4.70 WAS TOP PRICE
Cattle Business Dull--SteerS
Brought S4.25 Yesterday.

Regardless of the unfavorable condi-
ton of the market the receipts continue
heavy. Yesterday was another good day
fer large shipments and car load after
car load were pushed up TO the shoots all
day long. At the close of the market
most of the pens were full
The sales were quite numerous, al
though not as heavy as was expected.
Hogs were five cents lower and the buy
ers cared very little about straining the
price any. The demand seems to be a
little weak just at this time and it is
rather difficult to forecast anything very
promising for the market. Kansas City
and ST. Joe were both in miserable
condition and the prices were fully ten
cents lower than that of the proceeding
day.
The best price that was paid for hogs
yesterday was $40 and the bulk of the
seles went at $460 to s4.65. The grade
OF stock shipped in was not as good as
that of the day before. but a load of hogs
to bring $3.50 had to weigh above an ay
eIage of 200 pounds Anything under
this weight was hard sale.
The cattle receipts were very light.
Steers brought si25 but the market was
quoted lower at other points. Butcher
stock continues to hold up at fair prices

Fate.

He loved the beautiful girl.
Nor was she on her part insensible.
But they were strangers.
Il may not throw myself at her
feet groaned he, to himself.
Il may not throw myself at his
head" sighed she, in her heart.
But the decree of fate was writ. A
moment later the car turned a corner
and, with the same lurCh, threw him
at her feet aud her at his head.
Lovely weather we're having" said
he, retaining his presence of mind
most admirably.
Lovely" said she.
And they were married, and lived
happily forever afterward.-Puck.
