YEs1ERDAr,s STOCK MARKh4
Speculation Under Restraint of Active
 Call Money.

New York March 29.-The specula- tlon in the stock market to-day was under the restraint of the active call- money market. The higher rate asked stocks, and the fear of flurries to strin- gent rates begot spirit of caution lest the programme for the advance in stocks should be upset by forced liqui- dation. No such selling was in evil dence to-day, the pressure upon the market at no time becoming acute. The speculative position assumed yesterday on the long side of the market seemed to be maintained with some confidence. During the early part of the day efforts were made to extend the advance and to ignore the effect of the higher call money rate. There was a considerable accumulation of stocks at some points, gressiveness.
 When 1t was seen that the money rate clung to the per cent. level, with tendency to go higher, the efforts to get prices up were desisted from. The absence of anything like urgent selling induced by the rise in money confirmed the supposition that the pools and or ganized parties which entered the stock market on the long side this week were supplied with resources in the way of time loans to secure them against the vicissitudes of the call-money situation. Conjecture points to the same interests as being concerned in the speculative initiative that conducted the campaign of the latter part of last year, when a similar disregard was shown to the ex- .igencies of the call-money market. The April disbursements of dividends and interest are estimated as high as $65,- 900 0,000, of which, 1t is believed, $40000,- 900 will be required for April 1 in the settlement at New York. The collec- ton of funds to meet this requirement. was clearly enough responsible for the tightening of money to-day Immedi- ate currency movements were also against the market.
 An engagement of $1000,O00 gold for import was announced over night, but the parties to the transaction were ret icent as to the source of the supply The weekly return of the Bank of Eng land was weak, but that of the Bank of France showed an improved position. Rates for time loans were unaffected by the rise in call-loan rates, and this kept up speculative confidence in a relaxa- ton of the money market next week. Wall street is inclined to accept bi- luminous coal strike ss practical cer- tainty but professionals are heard of belief that the stock market effect of the strike has been discounted already. The extraordinary com carlson of net earnings of railroads reported for F9t- ruary, compared with last year, kept up favorable influence on the stock market.
 The coincidence of the sharp fall in Consolidated Gas with the meeting of the directors aroused an intense belief that there were good prospects for the stock. Nothing of the early gains re- mained by the end of the day, but the appearance of resistance to the depres- sion persisted throughout The closing was steady.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value. $2,7S5,O00
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

 The stock market was dull and strong most of the day, but was slightly weak CT near the close.
 With a coal strike hanging in the bal ance, prices rose until late in the day and then shaded off little.
 There was q rise in Union Pacific to 155&, with evidence of good buying, a condition that was likewise noted in St. Paul, New York Central and Steel com- mon,
 The decline in the market came after early activity had been supplanted by dullness and was accelerated by break of five points in Consolidated Gas. A rise in money to ' per cent was an- other adverse influence in the late trad- ing.
 Among the favorable things were fur ther magnificent earning exhibits by a number of important railroads and the engagement of $1,00O,00O more gold for import from Europe, making something in excess of $3,500,00O now arrived or on it's way here from abroad to help out our money market.
 The new stock of the Corn Products Refining company was traded ip on the Stock exchange for the first time yes- terday. The common, which closed oh Wednesday on the curb at 24A bid, started yesterday at 25A, rose to 25B by midday and later sold at 24%. Then it rallisa quite sharply. The preferred, which closed at 79 bid Wednesday on the curb, started at 80 yesterday and rose to 81M.
 A half-hearted strike at the best with the operators and union men both quar- reling at the start, and with the likeli- hood that the trouble will not last long, was a general argument advanced III bullish quarters in favor of ignoring the coal-labor troubles.
 The disposition of Reading to halt was interpreted as meaning that the SSASEdL Ii1IhCL Ildu llStA CllUuSlL 1OL the moment. It is easily conceivable that the rise in this stock was due mainly to driving in of shorts. If this is true it is risky forecasting what the market will do next. The short interest seemed yesterday to be pretty well eliminated throughout the list.
 It was said early in the day that the big Wall street banks looked for no se- rious money furry this week, despite the preparations for the heavy April dividend and interest disbursements.
 Consolidated Gas, Copper and other stocks with which the so-called Stand ard oil clique are popularly associated, were among the heaviest on the list. Large blocks, however, were taken on the way down.
 The February earnings statement of the Rock Island Frisco system, show ing an increase of $2,099,6bS in gross and gain of S1,6O0, 5S2 in net, was a splen- did exhibit and aroused good deal of favorable comment. It went to bear out the statements of friends of the Rock Island that the system has turn ed the corner in the matter of earn ings.
 The five-point drop in Consolidated Gas looked like manipulation and checked the bullishness, The talk of cut in the dividend to per cent was revived.

LARGELY A QUESTION or TA&TE

The Ketchiksn Journal refers to "the office" the editor of the Daily Alaskan expects to get" when Alaska shall have been made s selt-Governing territory. The Daily Alaskan cares nothing for such silly jibes, and men, tioOs this only because it serves to il- lustrste 8 point
 The editor of the Ketchiksn Journal came to Alaska from Wyoming with a carpet bag in bis hand and SD official commission in his pocket. Re held or Ace long time and Pcospered. Be has been displaced iu office by another man who came, similarly burieled, from New York. Neither of them were known iu Alaska when they left their homes. Those who get office when Alssksns shall have come into poses sioa of their right to govern them selses will have to be residents of the district, and they will have to submit their claims to the other residsnt'. Their ueiEhbors and fellow citizens will have to pass upon their characters and qualifications.
 The Daily Alaskad does not mention this for the purpose of making point against the personality or official ca pacity oG Mr. Coutant or Mr. Lull. It i' to the discredit Of no man that he is or has been 8 carpetbagGer. If a carpetbSggsr makes good off, ctal be is entitled to as much credit as though be had been selected for preierment by the people. The poin, is against the system which gives 8 people strange men, owing their posi- tjous to others than those whom they are supposed to serve, for officials, and against the lack oI good taste io the EstchiSsn Journal, whose editor has p-oated woodrous]y by the old system, in attributing selfish motives to those who wish to change it for one in which the people make their own selection of officers.

Let the children play.

It is too often true Of the unhappy
children who are forced to rise too ear
~ in their classes that they are con-
ceited all the forenoon Of. life and stu
pid all its afternoon. The vigor and
freshness which should have been stor-
ed up for the purposes Of the hard
struggle for existence in practical life
have been washed out Of them by pre-
cocious mental debauchery-by glut-
tony and lesson bibbing. Their facul-
ties are worn out by the strain put
upon their callow brains, and they are
demoralized by worthless childish tri-
umphs before the real work Of life be-
gins. have no compassion for sloth.
but youth has more need for intellectu-
al rest than age, and the cheerfulness,

to the credit not of his hours Of indus
try, but to that Of his hours of iileness

more difficult to digest
