All railroads operating in Maryland
are already making arrangements to
comply with the requirements of the
slim Crow car law recently passed
by the Maryland Legislature. The
law goes into effect July LIST. 1t is
thought that partitioning cars for
whites and blacks will comply with
the law, as the car would be in two
separate parts. The New York, Phila-
delphia & Norfolk Railroad is already
prepared to meet the requirements of
this law, as it has been required to
observe a similar law in Virginia for
two years.

The jump In foreign exchange and
the sharp running up OF wheat were
sufficient evidences of the reality of
The danger in the crisis. But the ex-
aggerated effect on the stock market
was a demonstration Of the artificial
conditions which had been built up
there. The same thing was apparent
in the heavlness of declines in stocks
which have been most subjected to
the booming process. although the in.
trinsic value of properties thus rep
resented would be no more impaired
by an Anglo-Rnssian war than would
any others on the list of securities.
Reassuring adyices concerning the
prospect for an Anglo-Russian settle
ment were of no influence for time
But the market made substantial
recovery in the quieter mood of later
trading and losses were largely re-
paired.
Bull control was again asserted and
the market showed relief afforded by
a shaking out of unwieldly speculative
accounts. United States Steel pre-
ferred rallied poorly and Ontario and
Western suffered from an alleged
hitch in the New Haven control
movement. The closing tone was
generally firm and active.
