cred in today's stock market, although
there was little Improvement in the
volume of trading. The tone was by
no means we'll assured, and hesitation
and. sluggishness We're still apparent in
the movement. Trading was largely in
nrofessional hands and there was no
evidence of any important revival Of
nublic interest After the extent of

The height to which prices have been
lifted and small pressure to liquidate
ON the reaction is regarded as remark
able. The whole character OF the
market, in fact, is better defined as
d waiting one than as either strong OF
reactionary. The effect of the strike
on the local transit companies was less
marked in diminishing the attendance
at the Stock Exchange today, and the
sentimental phases of the strike We're
taken less account of. The most con-
spicuous buying today was in the coal
ers and the special prominence OF
Reading was attributed to the activity
of pool in the stock. Amalgamated
Copper was also responsive to enthus-
iastic trade reports and a speculative
party was said to. be active in that
stock. The sharp recovery in New
York Central had good effect on sem
timent. The movement in western
stocks connected with the merger ru-
mors were more moderate. The crisis
in the war in the Far East and the
threatened catastrophe to the Russian
army had the effect of checking ac-
tivity rather than of prompting any
definite position in the market.
The tone of the money market here
was easy, both for call and time loans,
but sterling exchange strengthened.
The buoyant rise in Reading late in the
day was interrupted y some renewed
pressure against Union Pacific and the
closing was consequently slightly ir-
regular.

North Carolina FIeas.

The March number of Law Notes, .
a magazine published at Norrhport
n. Y, contains the following item
which is of interest in North Carolina
ITO Legislate Fleas Out of Churches
The North Carolina Legislature is
at present considering a bill to pro-
hibit the attendance of fieas in the
churches of Pitt county. 1t seems thai
in that county the churches are built
on pillars with a space left between
the floor and the earth and in these
subsanctuaries the hogs and goats OF
the neighborhood have been accustom-
ed to foregather bringing with them
after the custom of hogs and goats
sundry and divers fleas. AS is well
known, fieas have absolutely no To-
cal attachment and will forsake q
hog for a christian without the least
compunction or regret. Consequently
religious exercises are rapidly losing
their popularity in Pitt county, and the
Legislature must take measures to pre-
vent the county from turning
heather"

The passage by North Carolina OF

while gratifying to the people in this
vicinity as an evidence of the friend
ships subsisting between the Old
North State and the Old Dominion, is
still more pleasing because it demon
strates how shrewd and far-seeing our
neighbors are.
North Carolina has seized, as all
who know her felt that she would
seize. this splendid opportunity to eX-
hibit her resources and exploit her
possibilities at the ter-centennial. No
exposition held within the borders OF
her State could have afforded the same
opportunity as the jamestown cele-
bration offered Former Governor
Aycock was greeted with tumultuous
applause on the occasion of his APP
pearance at the Academy of Music
here when he spoke for the exposition,
and he remarked. II notice that there

There are a lot of down homers" in
Norfolk and they have contributed
very largely to the success, to the
growth and to the Importance of this
city. They form a notable part of our
population. To these North Carolin-
ians is in a large measure due the COM
mercial increase, of this city, and the
same shrewdness, and keenness which
marks the individual North CAROLYN

a sermon in Durham Sunday night in
which he hayed the society woman

point. One peculiar thing about II

why did he wait until the horse ran

while he is flaying society why don't
