STOCK MARKET
HAS A RELAPSE
Small Gains Disappear In
der Influence of Expected
Northern Securities Ruling

NEW YORK, March 5.-The stock
market came under the influence of an
expected Northern Securities decision
on Monday and lost more of the small
gains which had been established by
the slow and laborious hardening move
ment OF the whole of the week up to
to-day The market closed easy and at
declines running to a point in a number
of the prominent stocks.
The volume of liquidation was unim-
portant and indicated nothing more
than traders positions in the market,
but the imoelling motive was clear
enough and was corroborated by the
weakness of Northern Securities itself
on the curb. The bank statement was
without any influence. The increase in
cash was slightly less than expected,
but the fact that there was an increase
at all is evidence Of the continued ten
dency toward congestion of reserves.
The loan EXPANSION was viewed with
equanimity in view of the condition of
the reserves. Notwithstanding that the
loan item establishes a new high rec
ord again. with an aggregate for the
clearing house banks within $50, 900 of a
round 81 ,OO0, 600. .OO0 sThis is supposed to
reflect renewed corporation borrowing,
including the s. 100000 taken by the
New York Central and the same amount
by the Burlington. The fact that the
latter was placed in Chicago would not
prevent its reflection in the New York
showing.
Railroads reporting gross earnings
for the fourth week in February show
some increases over the similar period
of last year. but the additional day in
February of this year. which figures in
the showing. distorts the comparison.
Foreign influences were against the
market. London being confronted with
mining settlement next week, just
after emerging from the strain of the
Paris settlement this week. Consols as
a consequence touched a new low rec
ord in London to-day for the move
ment. Total sales of bonds $4,000.
The deadlock in the security market
has been unrelieved this week. Buyers
and sellers desist from activity, and
the result is an almost motionless mar
ket, which is the despair of the trading
element and also of the brokerage ele-
ment, which looks to commissions for
its business profits.
The market is hard and free from
pressure but the maintenance of prices
fails 10 invite any absorption of stocks.
The behavior of individual stocks un-
der an occasional attempt to liquidate
small amount occasions a dread that
the firmness is partly illusory. The
! lethargy is the more notable in view
of the accumulation of reserves in the
! banks and the nominal rates at which
call money is loaned.

ings and the deduction to be drawn as

Specie, Cash Reserve and
Deposits in New York

NEW YORK, March 5.-The Finan-
cier says: The most notable feature OF
the official statement of the New York
Asso ciatcd Banks were the new high
reC,lds fCr loans, specie, cash reserve
and dep, sits The net increase in the
cash reserve was $685., 800, or s2,o4. 600
less than the amount Of gain which
was estimated on the basis of the trace
able movements of money during the
week
Some discrepancy between the esti-
mates and the officially reported in
creale was looked for, but so great a
difference as that shown was somewhat
surprising. 1t may have been due, how
ever. TO movements incident to prepa-
rations for compliance with the treas

posits, or, what seems to be more rea-
sonable, TO the decrease in circulation.

bank notes for the account of corre-
spondents and to withdrawals of s., 1,25O,-
600 gold for shipment to Buenos Ayres
If the latter was one of the causes the
amount withdrawn would count for but
one day in the averages.
The deposits were increased by $12,-
673,4OO. which is greater by s2,o07, 500
than the sum of the net gain in cash
and of the increase in loans, therefore
the statement does not balance The
increase in required reserves due to the
augmented deposits was $3,16S,35O. De-
ducting therefrom the net gain in cash
leaves s2,206,S50 as the reduction in sur
plus reserve to 9,943, $50. Computed
upon the basis of deposits. less those of
SS9, 200 public funds. the surplus is
s39, ,727, $50.
The Government deposits were in
creased by $S75,30O, making the gain
since February 6 $2.243. 800. The circula-
ton was decreased $1,049, 800, and the
reduction in this item since the begin
ming of the year has been s5,755, 900.
Loans expanded by S9,709, 300, probably
rejecting the hypothecation of sterling
exchange, which has been bought for
investment, and also some special syn
dicate or corporation borrowings.

to decrease in business activity is a
factor in the current ease of money,
which deDrives that fact of it's power
for reinsurance to speculative senti-
ment. The heavy fall in net earnings
of railroads reporting for January
gives additional force to the considera-
tion of the business outlook. 1t is not
expected that any development will ef-
fectually release the stock market from
its constraint until the Northern Secu-

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
dIsinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into

cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more

drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out Of the systea..
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm

All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money is in Stuart's Absorbent Loz-
enges; they are composed OF the finest

COURT GRANTS
TRIAL REVISION
Celebrated Case Of Dreyfus
viii Be Reopened for Set
tlement Of All Doubts
PUBLIC Is APATHETIC
Renewal Of the Investigation
Probably viii Result in
the Officers Rehabilitation

PARIS, March 5.-The criminal
branch Of the Court Of Cessation to-
dsa granted the appeal OF Alfred
Dreyfus for revision of his trial at
Rennes.
The court held that a sufficient
showing had been made TO warrant
reopening OF the case and ordered a
supplementary investigation for the
purpose OF establishing all the doubt
ful points which have been the basis
for the present application TO reopen
the case. The decision Is another
marked success for Dreyfus. although
IL is not yet final. owing to the ex-
tended supplementary investigation
which must follow the courts deci-
sion.
The decision was given at the close
OF the third days hearing. Compare
lively little public interest has been
taken in the sessions of the court and
the courtroom was almost deserted,
there being less than fifty persons
present at the final session. Among
those were Maitre Laborie, the famous
lawyer, who defended Dreyfus at
Rennes.
Most OF the day was given to the
address Of Maitre Mornard, one of
Dreyfus' counsel. He argued that the
case made against Dreyfus was a It's
sue OF invention. He closed with an
eloquent appeal, saying that the honor
Of the army and its officers demanded
the removal Of the stain OF this un-
5ust conviction.
An incident occurred during NJ.
Mornsrd's address when the counsel
referred 10 Dreyfus' great qualities of
heart and exalted character, and turn
ed toward II. Laborie, as If making a
personal appeal TO have his statements
confirmed. Thereupon NJ. Laborie
arose and left the courtroom, causing
some commotion. n. Laborie was
quoted as saying in the corridor that
he did not wish by his presence TO
confirm the eulogy pronounced upon
his former clients heart and char
acter.
Following NJ. Mornard's address the
court retired, remained closeted for an
hour and then returned and gave out
the decision sustaining the appeal for
g revision Of the trial and ordering a
supplementary investigation. This de-
CisiOn from the highest tribunal in
France goes a long way toward the
complete rehabilitation Of Dreyfus, the
subsequent steps being generally re-
garded as formalities for carrying out
this favorable attitude Of the court
