DULLEST DAY Of YEAR
IN LOCAL STOCK MARKET
Several Incipient Booms Met With
Setbacks and Lost in the
Bidding.

With aggregate transactions of less
than one thousand shares of stock and
but 5000 bonds dealt in the session Of
the local stock exchange today was al
most entirely beref. of interest. In fact,
the call was carried on with so little ami
nation that at times not half of the
members in attendance paid any atten-
ton to- it. and the figures were allowed
to remain as on Saturday. Several
bocms that had got well under way last
week met with no encouragement and
figures receded from 4 to points,
while sales that were made showed
losses IN each case. Greene Copper reid
its own, while the bid on Washington
Railway preferred touched 30 for the first
time in several weeks, while a sale Of
80 shares was recorded a quarter point
higher The common stock was rather
freely offered around 43, and the few
sales made were at fracuonally lower
prices.
Announcement was made that at a
meeting of the board of directors Of
Riggs Bank held this morning, in ad-
dition TO the regular dividend OF 10 per
cent an extra Of 2 per cent was de
clared. besides carrying $4,000 TO the
surplus fund. This action was exCiu-

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE stock
market has been dull this afternoon,
with a saggiug tendency, although
some stocks have rallied from Il to IL
from the reactionary prices.
Trading during the first hour was
confined mostly TO the operations of
the speculative element on the floor,
and price movements were ciTcum-
scribed and narrow.
A good deal of attention was paid TO
the action OF Reading because Of tho
announcement of the rejection of the
miners demands by the operators. Lon
don was moderate buyer of this stock.
There was a good deal OF scattered buy
ing all through the first hour, and the
general comment was that the stock
was pretty well bought
Consolidated Gas showed exceptional
strength, advancing from 1871 to I55
without any special news. London
bought 1000 Southern Railway. and
there was some buying by what are re-
garded as Morgan brokers Commission

was no pressure TO sell from any quar-

ranging from small fractions TO

billiards could get over or through,
and make shade for the houses and
the whole farm. it was the year
when the Osier willow craze was on.
and every farmer on the plains wanted
TO transform his prairie into a forest.
Pa says the farmers fought with each
other to sign orders, and some paid in
advance, so as to get the willow cut
tiHgs in a hurry. Well, pa and the
railroad man canvassed Kansas, and
sold more than forty thousand mil

when it was time to deliver the goods.
they went into the river bottoms and
cut a whole lot of pussy willow
cuttings. delivered them to the farm
'ers, and got their money, and went
away. When the pussy willow cut
tings died in their tracks, or grew up
just plain pussy willows that never got
high enough to hide jack rabbit, the
farmers OF Kansas ,Iaded their guns
and waited for pa and the brakeman
to come back to Kansas, but they
never went back.
The brakeman became president of
a great railroad. but when he has to
go across the continent in his special
car. he lodges Kansas, and goes across
by the northern or southern route.
Pa has so far lodged the farmers, but
money wouldn't have hired him to
stay with the circus. and meet those
farmers that they sold the willow gold
bricks to. And yet, when / bunco

through life regretting the past, and
being afraid of the cars for fear some
act Of my younger days will become
known, and queer me. I guess pa
knows how it is hisse1f.
Well, il there is one thing I am
proud of, it is that l have always
been good. When l grow up to be a
man, prosperous in business, and be-
longing to a church, and married, and
have children growing up around me,
I can put on an innocent face and a
bold front, and point to my past with
pride, if I should go to live among
strangers, where nobody took the pa
pers, and the people were not on to me-.
Pa says as long as your conscience
is clear, and your pores open, life is
one glad, sweet song. Well, l don't
know, but if pas conscience is clear,
he must have strained it the way they
do rain water, to get the wigglers out,
or else he has used an egg to settle
his conscience, the way they settle
coffee. If his pores are open, he has
opened them in the old way, with a
corkscrew. But, with all have had
to contend with in the way of fright

worse.
How many boys of my age, do you
suppose, could put in season with a
circus, and have all the facilities

the heads of most boys. but when

Say, do you know have saved hun
dreds of boys this summer from ruin,
cause in every town there are lots of
boys who want to run away from
home and go off with a circus, and
cause 1 belonged to the show they all
came to me, and pa appointed me to
discourage the boys, and drive them
away from the show. I know in Vir-
ginia all the boys wanted to run away
and but for me the state wouldn't
have boys enough to grow up and shoot
the negroes. But when I found boys
who wanted to skip away from home
| would give them a job, and they
would have slept in the straw
with the horses and eaten at the sec
ond table after the negroes had been
fed, if they could only shake their
comfortable homes and loving friends
and join travelling circus

because they didn't bring water fast
er, the boys would ask me how long
1t took to fill up camel, anyway. /
would tell them that if they KEEP. right
at work, the camels ought to be filed
up full along in the fall. The boys
would reluctantly resign. Our cameIs
have been the making of hundreds of
boys by their tank-like capacity to
hold water. One boy at Richmond
Va. got it on me by getting a section
of fire hose and hitching it to a hy-
drant, and letting the water run into
a trough at the camel stand in the
menagerie, and before I knew it the
camels had filled up until they were
swelled four times as big as they
ought to be. Then they laid down.
and couldn't march in the grand
entree, and pa sent for a plumber to
have the ,camels fixed with faucets.
That boy was genius, and we kept
him and put him Into the lemonade
