TESTERD1Y's STOCK M4RKET.
Dull Trading and Sluggish Price Move
 ments.

Dull Trading and Sluggish Price Move ments.
 New York, May 3.-The stock market settled back to-day into dull trading and sluggish price movements such as approached at times to stagnation. Transactions fell to a smaller aggre- gate than for any full days trading since the last week in March. It was demonstrated pretty promptly to-day that the upward movement of prices of yesterday was but one of. the oscilla- tions incident to the subsistence of the speculation.
 Stocks came upon the market with some freedom to-day and the definite downward tendency established scatter ed the hopes of speculators as had seen indications of a revival of speculation in yesterdays movement. Most of the days business was done in the first hour. and an unusually large part of that was for foreign account. There was nothing in the general situation abroad to account for this pressure, but it was intimated that considerable account in Americans was being liqui- dated from Holland by way of London. The special pressure upon Union Pacific and upon the United States Steel stocks was of large sentimental influence on II, nIz Nl, ,ok,a ed points of strength, but their sympa- thetic effect on the general market was . very slight. The Metropolitan stocks had the advantage of 8 favorable de- eision of contested tax assessment case. .s ,...:; .a
 The accepted authorities in the an- thracite trade reported highly prosper ous conditions Of business for April and this had it's effect among the, eoalers, notably the Fries and the Readings. Northern Pacific was rushed up some seven points to we'll above the nominal quotation prevalent for the stock be- fore the Northern Securities dissolution brought it back to the stock exchange list. Rumors were circulated that an increase in the dividend was intended. The violent advance seemed to lntlml- date rather than to help sentiment, the market tradition respecting this stock fostering a nervous view of it's infiu- ence. #e.}1~2 <. b.s1 .,. q .. !.
 The price subsequently fell back to a point below last night. There was no news to explain the. general weakness which was rather a negative deduction from the failure of the points of strength to sustain the market. The apparent paralysis of the demand caused growing suspicion of the stabil- ity of the market and led to the weak closing, in which Union Pacific and New York Central were the chief suf- ferers. .,5sg < X f5es H5

 Good but Bulls Are searcer-A Mar
 row Market.
 The market narrowed down a good deal yesterday and acted as if it was weary. Rumors of big deals didn't :.'take" with the crowd, and were feeble, anyway.
 London sold 10000 shares yesterday, and there was liquidation of ether stocks bought to stem the recent de- cline.
 The rights" to subscribe to the $lO,- sos, ,667 new stock authorized by the dl' rectors of the Chicago and Northwest ern Railway company on Tuesday were dealt in for the first time to-day, about 600 selling at 15@15 1-2.
 The most important railroad state ment to hand was that of the Southern Pacific for March, which showed an an- crease in gross earnings of $559,OOO and in net of $31S,O0O. -s.. <4-..
 The general opinion was that for the next few weeks it would be trading market with occasional sharp move ments in specialties.. Also, that if the crops turn out well we shall have higher prices than we have seen So far this year. 8 -~.-
 The April bank clearings of the Unit ed States come within 1 1-2 per cent. of the great record of March, and were 5S per cent. larger than April last year.
 Specialists said that the strnegth of the Erie shares was due to buying of the same character noted on Monday, and was really significant. .~e..
 The annual meeting of the Amalgam- ated Copper company will. be held on June 5. Wall street hopes that at this time the much talked of financial state ment by the company will be made pub lie. t~-
 The unexpected change in the attitude of republican senators to the gas bills caused a prompt recovery in Consoli- dated Gas It opened three points high CT at 196, declined to 195 1-2 and rose to 197. Chauncey Brothers bought 5000 shares. In the afternoon the stock was nearly down to Tuesdays lowest. s.-. .
 
 Outside support from banking inter ests was not apparent. Reading was bid up apparently to strengthen the market. @@r- ..-.. Jacob Field, who did most of the man ipulating of Union Pacific Tuesday, was the prime factor in causing its break yesterday. He sold 10000 when the stock declined under 120. s...
 There appeared to be matching go- ing on in U. P. 4z.
 The annal report of the Nickle Plate road showed the gross earnings for the year to be $8,645,374, an increase of ,s19z,054, or 2S per cent. over the pre- Wious pear. The net earnings were S1,S07, ,227, an increase of $3S, TOT, compar- ed with last year. ..s.
 In the early trading Northern Pacific was quite a prominent feature. It was bid up points to 186. Announcement by the company that 3the stock will be distributed on May n6, carrying dividends then of 3-4 per cent, probably had something to do with renewing interest.

TRADE AND GOOD ROADS.

The condition Of the highways leading
into all our country towns has much to
do with the trade of such towns, and
1t is going to have more to do with
them in the future as towns here and
there take hold of the improvement Of
their tributary highways. Trade fol-
lows the flag, 1t is said. Trade also
travels over the good road. 1t looks
strange that town which will easily
raise $500 for Fourth of July celebra-
ton, the elimination Of which is noise,
DRINKS, powwow and headaches, done.
1t is claimed, to hold trade, rarely ever
thinks Of applying the money instead to
the betterment Of roads leading into
such town, when the money would go
five times as far az trade winner.

WHAT IRRIGATION DOES.

1t is interesting to note what irriga-
ton will accomplish Here is case in
the far west In January, 1901, there
lay a desert tract, no white man within
seventy miles, just sagebrush, cactus,
rattlesnakes, sandstorms and physical
paralysis, no cloud, no rain, no water.
q locality to be dreaded. An irrigation
scheme which brought water to this
waterless spot was completed In 1903.
Today there are on it four towns with
a population Of 1000 each, 5000 people
living on adjacent farms, while tree,
vine, field and orchard, cattle, school
houses, churches, banks. printing Of
fees, stores and offices, railway, tele-
graph and telephone proclaim the mar
wells which followed the coming Of the
water on the dreary desert land. This
miracle is to be repeated hundred
times over all through the west when
the vast irrigating schemes Of the gov
eminent are finally completed, and it is
under these conditions, perpetual sun
shine and warmth, with man regulat-
ing the water supply, where will be
found one Of the most intensive and
best developed examples of profitable
agriculture to be found in all the
world,

FARM IMPLEMENTS,

A four acre field of corn in Vermont
is q large field. This field will receive
good fertilizing. be quite likely drop
ped by hand and aside from horse cul-
tivation will receive one to two hand
hoeings and quite likely needed thin
ming. This method of corn culture is
utterly impossible in the west, where
the crop must be raised Independent
of any hand labor. 1t is evident to US
that under the western plan man
must have more than one implement to
properly care for his crop. He needs
the light harrow, the ordinary two
horse shovel cultivator, he should have
a surface cultivator for the last two
plowings and If the season is very
dry one single horse eight toothed
cultivator. so that he could go through
his corn after it had tasseled out, this
last not only insuring him a clean corn
field, but an increased yield Of ten
bushels an acre in dry season.

More Hay.

Two clubmen were praising the pluck
of dogs
"a good dog" said one, has the
same kind of pluck that old Jerome
McWade used to show.
He was farmer, seventy years old,
but still hale and hearty. One morning
he and his two sons got to wrangling
over their strength, and Jerome de-
clared that he could load quite as fast
as they could pitch it.
$50 to the fields they went, and Je-
rome got into a hay wagon with his
fork, and the two boys down below be-
gan to pitch the hay up to him as fast
as they could pitch 1t.
1.-THE old man stood up to his work
stoutly. He loaded with lightning
speed, and all the while he kept calling
down: More hay! More hayr
1.-The boys worked hard. Their youth
told in their favor. Old Jerome got to
loading more and more untidily. Still
as he scrambled about on top of the
uneven mounds he continued to shout,
More hay"
"All of a sudden he tripped as he
dug in his fork and fell from the wagon
to the ground.
"'Ah, said his eldest son, what are
you doing down hereY
Jerome as he rose answered:
at came down for more hay.'"-

RULE OF THE WHITE MAN.

We noted lately that music teacher
Of considerable prominence had gone
to Devils Lake, in North Dakota, to
open school Of music. This brought
to mind a bit Of the past-an army
tramp over parched plains in the sum-
mer Of 1868, chase after Little Crow
famous Sioux chief; trip to the lake
in pursuit Of him, the daily mirage, the
alkali water, the glimpse Of this inland
sea, the evening fires Of buffalo chips,
the coyotes midnight howl, the bray Of
the mule teams, the worminess Of the
hard tack and the rancidity Of the salt
pork, not a white settler within hun
dreds Of miles, then regarded as the
heart Of the great American desert.
Now, forty years after, smiling and
prosperous state, wonderful crops, fine
homes, culture, refinement, wealth,
ChautauQuas and music teachers,
splendid tribute to American enter
prise. Little Crow and his tribe, the
buffalo and the coyote are gone; the
white man rules.

SMALL BUSINESS,

A man owning several thousand acres
in a body, which he farms, spent ST.
700 more than his road taxes amount
ed to in four years in grading and fix
ing the roads in good shape which ran
through his farm. After grading up
forty feet wide he plowed his fields to
the edge Of the grade and cropped the
land, thereby keeping the highway en-
tirely free from weeds, and because he
did this some old fossils got the town
ship trustees to try to prevent him
from using these waste strips of land
on the ground that he was obstructing
the highway. We do not know just
what he told the trustees-it might not
have been fit to print anyway-but
they have let him alone since. The
bigger the corn grows the smaller the
men who cultivate 1t, sometimes.
