THE RISE IN STOCKS.

Since March 1904, that is during the
past twelve months, an extraordinary
rise has taken place in the market
price of a large number Of popular
stocks which are handled on the New
York stock exchange. February and
March were the lowest months in 1904
and since that time several stocks
have risen from rs to 100 points, some
having doubled in price during the
year; The following table shows the
rise in some of the most prominent
stocks during the twelve months Just

Old traders say that this almost un-
precedented boom in the market is not
warranted in all the cases,by CORES
ponding increase in the real value Of
the properties. While there, may have
been an undue depression in some or all
of the stocks in March of last year
the Improvement in conditions since
that time has not been such that it
would warrant such a rise in prices.
The natural conclusion Is, then that
the market has been boosted by spec
ulators and that some of the stocks
have false valuation. Just how
much of it is false is something that
is hard to determine. but careful inves-
tors are sending circulars to their Gus
toners advising them to trade eau
tiously, if at ALL and warning them that
a reaction is due.
Over-confidence is bad feature in
the stock market and it is feared that
this may be the means of causing a
drop in the prices of these stocks The
money market may become more
stringent at almost any time and indi-
cations are that the rates of interest
may be increased when this occurs.
Against that time, careful investors
are; guarding their customers. It is
not feared that a decline will be more
than temporary nor that it will prove
disastrous. In fact, the general opin-
Ion seems to be that moderate reac-
ton will be beneficial because it will
check over confidence and introduce
new buying element on a rational
basis.

CONCERT AT THE PARK.
Bijou Theatre Orchestra at Pickett
 Springs This Aftern0On.

Bijou Theatre Orchestra at Pickett Springs This Afternoon. | The first public concert of the sum- mer season at any of the parks vii take place this afternoon at Pickett Springs when an excellent program oi popular music will be rendered by the Bijou Theatre orchestra, which has been engaged for the summer there. l It has been said that this orchestra has no superior in the South, and il has made the Bijou Theatre well known during the past season for good music Every member of the orchestra Is ar accomplished musician and the music far surpasses any that has been heard in Montgomery by any travelling or chestra in some time. In view of this fact. a great crowd will probably gc to the popular summer park this after noon to hear the concert. The following Is the program: | March, Bunker Hill," (von Tilzer.)
 Selection from "The Singing Girl, (Iubert.)
 Descriptive, Down south." tMyd- dlcton.)
 Selection from Mother Goose. (air by Smith.)
 waltzes. "Reminiscences" tGeig T.
 March. "Bllly." (Banon.) I (Harris.)
 Trombone solo. "The Girl You Love-" Overture, Martha" (Floto.) Selection from The Royal Chef ,' (Jerome.)
 a. "Pilgrim's Chorus" Cwagner); b. Evening Star" March, Montgomery Greys." (Mitch ell.)
 The rain and disagreeable weather of last Sunday kept hundreds of anxious pleasure seekers from the three beau- tiful parks of Montgomery, but the weather promises to be ideal today and there is but little doubt that the street car lines will do a heavy business as a result.
 No hour is given for the concert, but 1t is supposed that the music will be- gin about 4 o'clock as that is the time when the greater part of pleasure seek CTS usually begin to breath the fresh air of the woods.
