STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 21.-The movement OF
today's stock market was in large part
a working out Of condition established
last week rather a response to any new
events bearing on values. The action OF
the market today was looked to as a
sort Of test Of last weeks strength
The Liverpool stock market of Satur-
day seemed to have solved the doubts
of many stock brokers and there was suf-
fcient demand to cause higher open
ing this morning an dto sustain prices
firmly, though without further advance
curing the active market Of the first
hour. Thereafter the market langUished.
There had been large realizing, besides
q considerable interest established on the
short side. The preponderance Of the
professionals was for a reaction and there
was not sufficient buying power forth
coming to prevent it.
The heavy pressure to sell United States
Steel preferred was Of especial interest
in bringing about the reaction. ana was
not accounted for by any news Of n
change in last week 5 better outlook in
the trade. Rumors of a cut in price Of
steel billets were denied.
Further rains in the winter wheat belt
helped to sustain the grangers in the
early market, but did not save them from
the late reaction. There was sufficient
demand for Northern Securities on the
cuIb to life 1t nearly ) points over sat
urday, which is taken to indicate . feel
ing Of assurance against losses by stock
holders in the dissolution. Western rail
road officials spoke in rather spirited
terms of the present outlook for in
creased business.
Conditions in the money market were
unchanged and We're without effect on
the stock market.
Bonds moved in sympathy with stocks.
United States Is were heavily sold in
the last dealings. together with the pre-
ferrea stock. Total sales. par value,

Cattle Are on OeCIine---ButCh-

The live stock market of Wichita
started out yesterday pretty lively, bat it
dropped ten cents again, which does not
make things appear as bright as they
might. The highest price reached yes
terday was SA95. This is about as low
as hogs have been for several months
and the indications are that there may
yet he q more surprising fail.
Kansas City, St Joseph and Chicago
had heavy receipts yesterday. but an
nounced through their dispatches that
the prices are 10c to l5c lower. All the
leading markets of the country seem 70
BE- in q more fuctuating condition than
they have been for some time.
The cattle receipts were extremely light
ana prices were lower. Late last night
thre were sevral loads shipped. which
VIII be sold today 1t seems that the
country is fun Of stock Of all kinds and
shippers are anxious TO sell, regardless
OF the weak condition of the market.
Hog Sales.
by an arrangement between the pack

late in the night are fed. waJered and

These hogs arc quoted under the head OF

An Honest Assessor.

Mr. Il. II. Duff, assessor Of Whitman
County, announce, through the puotIc
press that he will not be ,und Dy the
action OF the Railroad Asses,ors Con-
vention, held IN TIN, city last month,
but wil ASSESS railroads IN his Coluty
exactly II, he ASSESSES other property.
You may say he says, "tnat
railroad property in this county VIII
be a,,e,,ed on the same basis IL, farm
aud city property
All honor to assessor Duff. There
ought to be an assessor of his Kind in
every country of this state, and We
promise hun that there will be, and
that he will not be 50 lonesome us he Is
now, after the next general election,
mark you. lie does not purpose
making any excessive outrageous va.-
uation of railroad property, but he
will ASSESS it on the same basis upon
which he assesses farm and city prop
erty in his county. This is right and
just to the railroads, and to every tax
payer in his county, and is precisely
what this Journal has been contending
for 80 strenuously.
In an interview garding this mat
ter he expressed apprehension as to
whether the County commissioners of
his county, and the courts, would
stand by his assessment Of railroad
property. They need not give him Il
m nute's concern. When he has exsr-
clsed his own judgment and assessed
piece of railroad property, fairly and
s4uarely, just rs he has assessed other
property he has discharged his whole
legal duty; he has fulfilled the obi
CATION of his Official oath. and it need
not concern him how other sworn
officers discharge their Official duties.
OF one thing he can rest assured:
Whoever may be against him, the
people will be with hun. -WinstOn's

adverse criticism he purchased pair
OF hounds and began training them,

for the place. He has made himself
Invaluable to the sheriff II, an assistant
and earned the good viii of the court

lie will deal with them accordingly.
Now he comes forward with some
thing both new and useful, 1.-The Berti-
II an System, invented by Alphonse
Bertillan in France. The commission
ers have furnished M.. Maxey with a
room in which to keep his instruments
and to pursue his work. A reporter OF
this paper called on him Monday after
noon and enjoyed his hospitality tor a
half hour.
The Bertllian consists of a system of
measurements and observations by
which a criminal when taken may be
accurately described. tn 1t Identified ton

Ramsay Bros. hardware store, with are
not only Tor registering weight, but
ara equipped with an instrument for
measuring persons height. Tho
head, the ear, the arm, the fingers ard
,e trunk are all measured, and each

printed especially for that purpose.
The shape of the eyebrows, the color of
the eyes and hair the shape OF the nose,
the teeth, the lips the forehead, in tie
mnutest detail are noted and recorded.
Any mole>, warts, scars, ink warks,
vaccination marks and other numerous

noted with care and made record of.
He has also purchased beautiful

which photographs will not only help
IN making for him rogues gallery,
