BULL INTERESTS INACTIVE

NEW YORK, April S0.-The stock mar
ket continued sluggish and without sig
nificanee from the opening. A generally
heavy tone prevailed, due, apparently, to
the total lack of initiative on the part
Of the large bull Interests. There Is
some sentimental feeling with regard TO
future exports Of gold. and operators are
also Inclined TO await the court devel-
opments which may take place next
week in the Northern Securities situa-
ton. Declines were confined TO small
fractions, and there was little discrim-
ination of the fluctuations. Reading
showed modest strength, but the open
ing price of Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western was As per cent lower.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was steady
and Brooklyn Union Gas reacted over
q point on realizing. Consolidated Gas
was firmer.
Government bonds unchanged. Other
bonds were hrmer.

heavy. IL closed with some weakness.

masked cowboys attacked the sheep
camp of Stevens & Maxwell. thirsy miles
south of here. Fifteen herders and camp
men were captured by the cowboys, and,
after being gagged, were tied TO trees.
The camp was then burned.
Afterward the cowboys attacked the
great herd of 5000 sheep. hundreds of
which were shot and the rest forced
over high banks into ravines.
The cowboys then rode off. Later a
masked man notified the ranch OF the
predlcament of the herders. Help was
sent, and the men were released after
having been bound TO the trees almost
all night.
The sheep camp was on grounds leased

NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF STOCK MARKETS
WASHINGTON.

Business on the local exchange today
was more interesting for what was not
done than for what was actually accom-
plished That is 10 say, there was an
active den and for certain stocks which
was not met by cfseF.ngs. The stocks in
question were Greene Copper and Wash
ington Street Railway preferred, as well
as the per cent bonds Of this company.
The actual sales in any OF these were
not specially important. except, perhaps,
in the buying Of sixty day options on
the Copper stock. One broker took op-
lions on 100 shares at 165s and another
on 100 shares at 1854, while 200 shares
were bought outright at l6A. The prices
mark a notable advance, which was
stimulated, no doubt. by the declaration
of 8 per cent dividend and the promises
of other dividends of a like amount at
intervals of two months.
OF the street railway issues only 125
shares of the stock were traded in at 81
and $4,000 Of the bonds sold at 1914 and
another lot of $1,000 at T612.

0ueer Tasteu.

Speaking Of mysterious tastes, that
OF man who was recently before the
magistrate at Greenwich Is not very
easy of explanation. Three weeks ago
a legacy Of fl30 was left to him. The
first thing he bought. 1t seems. was a
set of billiard balls. and he now has
nothing else left to show for the fl30,
which has disappeared at the rate Of
f43 Gs. Sd. weekly. Why billiard balls
1t is q singular and rather interesting
form OF craving. 1t Is perhaps true
that billiard ball is one OF the very
few perfect objects produced by man.
1t is all OF piece, it Is thoroughly ho-
mogcneous as regards material, and II
is, or should be. faultless In form. Yet
only n strong strain Of mysticism In
the character would account for man
hungering and thirsting for billiard
balls above all other earthly things.-
