NEW YORK, March 2S.--Today's s
stock market was an affair of constant
fluctuations, giving an appearance OF
uncertainty to the temper of the spec
uIation, but the fluctuations were
mostly below last nights level. The
occasional rallies were poorly held and
the end of the day showed the aver
age Of prices considerably below last
night. The activity was nearly on
descending scale OF prices, tne occa-
sional rallies leading up to dullness
and neglect, showing the subsistence
of demand from the shorts at the
higher level
Call money again touched 4 per cent
and the outlook in the money market
plainly was the most direct factor
in the operations of the day.
Preparations were being made for
the subscriptions to the new Japanese
loan, which is to be offered tomorrow,
a $75OOO,O0O instalment being New
York's portion. Those in charge of the
Offering claim that every safeguard
will be adopted to protect the money
market from disturbance and that the
operation will be largely in the nature
of transfer of book accounts between
banks. But Wall street has an old
experience of such assurances and Is
well aware that an operation of that
magnitude is not perfected without a
necessary shifting of loans on large
scale.
The amount of disturbance resulting
in the money market is likely to be de-
pendent on the width of the margin
surplus above the legal reserve re-
quirements. AS the surplus is just
now unusually low for the period of
the year, there was some natural mis-
giving that the money market might
not eScaDe the SDring furry,
In addition to the money situation
the market had to pass another day
without any verification of numerous
merger or dividend rumors. A south
ern Pacific dividend had been def
nitely set down for yesterday and not
being Forthcoming, there was disap-
pointment on the part of the element
which had bought on that account.
The report that the st. Paul contem-
plated an expenditure of $100, ,000, 900 for
an extension to the Pacific coast was
formally denied by the chairman of the
board of that company. The denial
was effective in inducing selling of the
stock, although similar denials, official
or informal, have been made of nearly
all the recent deal rumors. There was
evident unloading also of Reading on
the part of the recent large speculative
buyers of that stock
With the speculative favorites, in
Guiding Union Pacific, st. Paul, New
York Central and Reading, thus under
pressure, small influence was exerted
upon sentiment by the few advances
in the industrial class, which still
manifested themselves in a scattered
manner.
London was heavy seller in this
market and there were reports of a
violent disturbance on the st. Peters
burg bourse. Paris was especially af-
fected in sympathy, but the manifesto
tions were read as a sign of coming
peace, which is a development hoped
for in the securities markets.
Sterling exchange was strong and
moved decisively away from the gold

poets.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Lower Prices Rule for Wheat-corn
and Oats Decline
BY Associated press.


CHICAGO, March 2s.-Weakness waf
manifest in the wheat market from the
start today, July opening s@Bc lower
to shade higher, at S91sc to 90c. May
was unchanged to IAc higher, at $1.12H
to $1.125s.
Lower prices at Liverpool and con-
tinued excellent weather conditions in
the United States were the factors
contributing to the initial weakness OF
the July option. A feeble rally occurred
shortly after the opening, resulting in
May advancing to $1.13 and July to
909sc. The show of strength. however,
was only momentary, the market soon
easing off again on persistent selling
of July. The May option was compara-
lively inactive throughout the day.
Many additional reports regarding
the excellent condition of the new crop
were received, and these added to the
weakness of the situation. The market
became extremely weak late in the
day on general selling by local traders
in addition to selling by both north
western and southwestern houses. July
declined to S65sc and May to $1.11%.
The close was almost at the low point,
final quotations on July being at SS%c.
May closed at SLIP, a net loss of &c.
Sentiment in the corn pit was bear
ish and prices showed q material de-
cline May opened a shade lower at
4S5sc, sold UP to 4S2sc and declined to
47%c. The close was at 47%c.
Good weather, the break in other
grains and the weakness of the cash
article caused heavy liquidation in
oats, resulting in declines in all op-
tions. May closed at 295sc.
Provisions were weak in sympathy
with a decline in grains. At the close
May pork was down 10@12hc, lard
was off &c and ribs were 21s@5c lower.

A BumcO Princess
By Bertha NJ. Smith

THE West may boast its Cassie Chad
| wick and France its Madam Hum
bert, but there's woman at large in the
East to-day with a game as neat as any
of theirs" 1t was the detective talking,
and everybody else stopped to listen
She doesn't go in for such big stakes;
but the risk she takes is just as big,
and she gets what she wants, which is all
the others did.
Early one afternoon this woman called
at a private insane asylum just outside
of a large Eastern city. She told the
superintendent that she wanted to see
about placing relative in the institu-
ton, and she had such an air about her
that he didn't bother to show her any
thing but the best rooms. She decided
to take one of the most expensive suites
and opening a handbag, counting out
half the first weeks rental, asked if that

the absence of pain, the cobra offered
no subsequent resistance and seemed to
realize that the surgeon was his bene-
factor. Nor has the snake attempted to
offer battle to his reflection since the
original operation was performed.
DR.. Edward Wallace Lee of New York,
in his extended experience with animals
as we'll as their victims, has found that
vast majority of fatalities are due to the
ignorance or heedlessness of trainers in
dealing with animals that are suffering
with pain and disease. While in charge
of the emergency hospital on the Omaha
Exposition grounds, this celebrated sur
geon, who played an important role in
trying to save the late President Nc
Kinley, attended a snake-charmer who
was attacked and crushed by an enor-
nous boa-constrictor.
The huge reptile had shown every
symptom of extreme terror during the
exhibition, which ended with his crushing
the snake-charmer. The boa had re-
peatedly shrunk away from the man,
and had to be coaxed and cajoled into
going through the performance. Just as
the trainer was unwinding the enormous
coils preparatory to putting the snake
to bed the monster whipped his body
around that of the trainer, and by swift
and powerful muscular contraction broke
every rib the man had As the boa never
before had given any exhibition of anger
or even i'll humor, a diagnosis was made,
and the boa was found to have pneu-
monia. The muscular action demanded
by the performance had brought on a
hemorrhage, and the terrified boa, in
trying to rid himself of the ghostly visi-
tant, had embraced his keeper not wisely
but too well. This same Demonstration
ultimately recovered, and escaping from
his cage in some mysterious manner,
created brief reign of terror in Omaha.
AS the monster never was recovered,
and as his trail to freedom was marked
by no victim, he is supposed to have
wandered away to die in the river
marshes.

TERROR OF Gagged ANIMALS
Continued from Page 8

surgical performance the hooded cobra,
the biggest and most dangerous of
its species in the reptile house, was
looking cross-eyed for several days at a
bandage of adhesive tape which tightly
bound his jaws together.
This cobra is one of the most recent
acquisitions of The Bronx Geological
Gardens, having been imported from one
of the northern Provinces of India, where
forty thousand victims of the snake die
annually. Hardly had the newcomer
been installed in his glass compartment
when he began waging ferocious cam
paign with an enemy which had the
power of becoming invisible to him,
namely, the rejecting glass in front of
his prison Time and time again he
banged his nose against the glass in a
vain effort to chastise his elusive enemy,
until one morning the cobra was sadly
disfgured.
Having prepared the bandage, the
cotton with chloroform, placed it on the
end of a wire and inserted the pungent
drug in the compartment where the
reptile was shooting his forked tongue in
and out and swaying his head in lightning
flashes here and there in an effort to
strike his reflection in the glass. Only a
minute was required to overcome the
snake, and then he was taken out by one
of the keepers and held firmly just under
the hood and at the nape of the neck.
Only sufficient chloroform was admins
tered to overcome the cobra until secure
hold could be got about his neck. Hardly
had this been done when the snake re-
vived and made desperate and determined
efforts to free himself.
While the keeper held the venomous
reptile the Curator removed a small piece
of splintered bone from the nose with
long needle. The wound then was
syringed thoroughly with an antiseptic
and the bandage was wound four times
around the nose. An abscess formation
developed the next day and made it
necessary to rebandage the nose several
times; but it was remarkable that, with
