MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All

~Bld. ssAslIed.
New York, March 2S.-Today's stock
market was an affair of constant fluc-
tuations, giving an appearance of uncer-
tainty to the temper of the speculation
but the fluctuations were mostly below
last nights level The occasional rallies
were poorly held and the end of the day
showed the average OF prices considerably
below last night. Call money again
touched 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, So

ed to protect the money market from
disturbance and that the operation will be
largely in the nature of Il transfer of book
accounts between banks. But all argues
that an operation of that magnitude is not
perfected without a necessary shifting OF
loans on a large scale. 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
escape the spring furry. Reports from
the South show general disposition to
hold cotton at present low prices to await
a recovery. which makes a large require

from it we would have well-equippeo
kitchen. The third floor should nave
a reading room, a trophy room, which
could also be used for small games
and big room in which could be prop
erly installed the collection Of natural
history specimens that would easily be
within the reach of the city under such
conditions.
OF special importance in such a
building would be the swimming tank.
Certain afternoons in the week such a
building should be closed to the male
sex, and its advantages especially for
suitable instruction in swimming made
available for ladies. 1t is an unfortu-
nate fact that comparatively few wo-
men have acquired this art, and yet
one of the most wonderful swimmers
who exhibited at the Buffalo EXPOSE
ton was a young woman not more
than twenty years of age. What an
instructor she would make for the
young ladies of any city which could
afford her the necessary facilities for
imparting her very practical ac-
complishment.
These things may seem somewhat re-
mote at this time, but we fully be-
lieve that the day will come when our
city will possess them all. Meanwhile

things, which causes universal con-
gratulations and rejoicing. Even the
most ardent Republican does not be-
grudge the interest in life when Is
taken by the party which was so COM
pletely knocked out last November
Two Jeffersonian dinners are scheduled
for April 10; one in New York and one
in Chicago, and upon this coincidence
hangs a wager which is attracting no
little attention throughout the country.
There has been great rivalry among
the managers of these two affairs in
the matter of gathering in the most
oratorical talent, and just as the
Chicago people seemed to have every
thing coming their way, ex-Mayor Van
Wyck of New York, offered to bet
$4,000 that the New York dinner will
have more real eloquence and be a
more successful occasion generally
than the tame and lack-lustre function
scheduled for the Windy city. The
wager was promptly accepted by
Chicago Democrat named Goodrich,
and the dinner committees have been
scurrying round for available speakers
with renewed zeal.
The Chicago managers have signed

Tom Watson, Tom Johnson and Tom
Taggart and also man named
Parker. whom some will recall DIS hay
ing been d judge in the New York
court of appeals at one time and later
a candidate for President. 1t is not ex
planned who is to be the judge to de-
eide how the question at issue shall be
determined, but perhaps before the
day arrives one or the other of the
committees will secure the services of
Bourke Cochran. and in that case, of
course the other committee will
promptly pay over the wager without
even waiting for the dinner to come
off
There are still a few great Demo-
cratic orators left in the South who
| have not been pressed into service,
such as Tillman, Vardaman, Williams,
Hefin and Champ Clark, though the
latter's vocal organs seem to have been
pretty we'll paralyzed since the Re-
publicans carried Missouri. 1t may
be that the decision of the wager will
have to be left with the Hague court
| of arbitration, though some are mean
| enough to intimate that the betting is
all done for the sake of advertising
| the dinners and help the managers in
drumming up enough Democrats to
fill the tables. We suggest that the
loser of the bet pays his obligations in
| Confederate money.
