KESIERDAl,S STOCA MAKKE7,
At s,andstiii for the Greater Part or
 the Day.

At n standstiii for the Greater Part of New York, April 1.-The stock mar ket was at standstill for the greater part of the day, but lost little ground.
 Prices started upwards with some vigor and there was tentative effort to ex- tend the advance by developing new
 points of strength upon which to sus- tain prices as was successfully done last week. But the attempt met with less success to-day The marking up of prices was less bold and comprehensive and the stocks ehoen for leaders were of less influence upon sentiment, the list of most effective market leaders
 having been pretty we'll run over by the
 succession of movements already made. The consequence was the return to a
 dull and sluggish market, but with an 1 undertone of good resistance and an ap- parent disposition to await favorable developments. It is probable that the hesitation of the market was due in
 part to the pending hearing at St. Paul tomorrow of the motion to enjoin the pro rata distribution of the Northern 1 Securities assets. It was known that the government report on the April 1 condition of winter wheat would not appear until after the stock market closed and there was a feeling that 1 knowledge of it's tenor would be de- sirable before proceeding with market
 operations. The almost bouyant tone of the London market helped the opening strength here. Abundance of money is
 reported available in all the worlds s markets, but the course of surplus | funds seems to be toward Paris Ship ments were made of gold to-day to that destination from London and $1,000000
 was engaged here. The tendency to &C., cumulate funds there will arouse some ! renewed surmises of 8, possible war loan. The money market in London is
 relaxing and an early reduction in the
 Bank of England discount rate is looked 1 for. The extreme ease of money here l facilitates the outward movement of l gold. The statement of this country's S foreign trade for March enforces the showing of former months in explana- tion of the turn in the foreign exchang-
 es. Grain and cotton exports alone fell more than $20,OoO00O in value below 1 those of March last year.
 l If last months expanding tendency l of imports is still maintained, the im- pairment of the trade balance in oul I favor easily explains the outward move ment of gold. Railroad traffic officials
 future traffic, but admit a decline in the present volume. A renewal of the ad- vance in Union Pacific freshened up the late market to-day, but the gains are l moderate,
 The bond market was also irregular and less active. Total sales, par value l S2.S5o,00O
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Political Forecasts.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 19.-POiiti-
clans, who pose in their hailiwicks as
prophets and election fOrecasters, are
going about the springs today asking
each other questions. They are trying
10 find out who is to be nominated al
the democratic State convention tomOr-
row, but no one seems to have the an
swer. Candidates are like juggler's balls,
now you see them, and now you don't.
Those most talked about an hour ago,
are discarded in the present and new
names rise up like Mushrooms in the
gubernatorial field. Edward M. Shep-
ard, of Brooklyn; John b. Stanch6eld,
of Elmira Judge Gaynor, of Brooklyn,
and William Travers, Of New York, are
probably the most talked of candidates
today at the springs, but there is a
growing belief among the wiseacres that
a dark horse will be nominated In the
process of elimination the opinion is
expressed that the candidates now men,
toned will be dropped and that some
man who has not been affiliated with
any faction and not under the dominance
of any leader, will be the man chosen.
Moderate opinion iuclines to the express
sion that the whole State ticket will be
selected in a caucus of the leaders and
that there will be no contest whatever
upon the floor of the convention.
David b. Hill arrived at ll;l0 a. m.
With him was Deputy Attorney General
Bulger, who was in the conference at
Wolfort's Roost last night. Mr.. Bulger
said that so far as he knew Mr.. Hill was
not committed to the candidacy of John
b. Stanrhfield and that he thought the
State leader had come upon the scene
with an open mind.
1t was stated in democratic political
circles this afternoon that Judge VIM.
J. Gayuor, of Kings, is Judge Parker's
choice for governor

spirited the children away, The police
discovered that the old woman gave the
children to a hlastiff who had been
trained to devour every portion of the

A DEED OF TRUST was recorded in the
Corporation Clerks Office at CharlotteS-
vile last week by J. Samuel McCue for
$l2, 500 in favor of his attorneys, NAM
ing the amount each is TO receive for his
services in defending McCue, who is
charged with numbering mis- wife. Mr..
McCue conveys with covenants of gen.
eral warranty to the trustees all of his
real estate in the city OF Charlottesville.
Without commenting upon the fees paid
his attorneys which are said to be among
the largest ever paid an attorney or
attorneys who have appeared in a case
before the Corporation Court in Char
lOttesville, it will be seen that McCue
in his euGeavors to save his neck has
had little consideration for the future
OF the children of the murdered woman.
