TESTERDAY,S STOCK MARKET
Attendance Small on Account of the
 Holiday.

AIOlAuuSs
 New York, April 1S.-To-day's stock market was not much more than nom- ihal. The departure from custom in keeping the stock exchange open on Good Friday was not allowed to inter- fere with the holiday of many mem bers who left the Wall street district last night to remain away until next Monday The attendance was therefore small and the dealings were left in the hands of the habltual traders, who found the usual difficulty in making things go in a market of those restrict ed limits. The exchanges for other commodities were all closed as were the foreign stock markets, the latter to be closed until next Tuesday. The New York stock exchange was almost completely isolated from living contact with the worlds markets. Under these circumstances there was no disposition to take any important steps in the mar ket
 The holding of the session was de- signed, in fact, almost exclusively to arrange outstanding call loans, which carry over until Monday The fear of attempts to arrange loans yesterday to carry over until Monday, which would have been necessary in the event of ob serving the holiday to-day, was what prompted the opening of the exchange of loans was concluded at an early hour and was followed by the departure Of many brokers, leaving the market in a condition of practical stagnation. The easier tone ot the money market gave rise to feeling of confidence that to- morrow's bank statement would show the deficit in the reserves below the re- quirements made up.
 This vas the ground underlying the firm tone in the stock market. Special strength in one or two of tn eproninent individual stocks helped to sustain the market. Amalgamated Copper rose on reiterated rumors of Intended dividend increase The ground taken by the parties to the coal labor controversy that further conference was in order kept alive hopeful sentiment for q settlement, which was reflected in the strength of reading,
 The weakness of Baltimore and Ohio was an example of the small relish for additional capital issues in the present temper of Wall street and the eondi- tion of the money market. The pre- ferred stock of the company, however which shared in tn esubscription pro- vides, but not in the added liability to claims nthe surplus for dividends, rose strongly.
 Foreign exchange reacted slightly from the highest level of yesterday, but became stea dyagain and gave no indi- cation of falling again to the gold im- port level. The market closed with some show of strength and activity a. the best prices of the day.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value, s2,550.000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
DULLNESS REIGNED BUT PRICES

 ter Bank Statement Expected--B. &
 O's. New Issue of Stock--Other Gos-
 sip.
 Business was very dull on the stock exchange yesterday, but the undertone was very strong, and there were sharp advances
 A repetition of the usual Good Fri day holiday could have been had with perfect safety. As It was, many brok- CTS and operators took holiday with out the intervention of the exchange, hence the dullness that prevailed. The London stock exchange and the Berlin bourse were closed, and there was a practical absence of arbitrage opera tions in securities.
 Business was very much concentrat- ed, and there were but few features of interest. The Pacific Coast stock rose about points coincident with talk of competitive buying for control. Con- solidated Gas declined and rose 2 1-2. Union Pacific, Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Amalgamated Copper and Anaconda improved 1O4. Reading and Erie were firm on very moderate advances, The proximity of the next dividend on Amalgamated Copper was generally attributed as the reason for the rise In this stock. The street generally as- sumes that the rate will be raised from to or 8 per cent per annum.
 Baltimore and Ohio lost over point on the announcement that the company will issue $27, ,750O0O common stock for construction, improvement and equip ment, Rights under the issue were quoted at 1 9Sa1 1-2.
 Pacific Coast shares were strong, the common being the feature. As against sales at IA Wednesday, the price ruled above 127 yesterday afternoon. Re ports of contest for control were not taken seriously,
 There was a general disposition to take more optimistic view as to the final outcome of the anthracite coal situation The rather hopeful express
 
 sions of President Mitchell helped to strengthen this view, but owing to the Indianapolis bituminous conference ne- gotiations cannot be resumed until the latter part of next week.
 There was considerable selling pres sure yesterday in Baltimore and Ohio. The buying power was very limited.
 All the signs pointed to better bank statement to-day.
 The most cheerful, news of the day related the advices from steel dis [ tricts concerning the steady expansion of the trade. Along with 1t was a state- ment that the Tennessee Coal and Iron company had advanced the price of steel rails for delivery in 1907 The pig iron trade, according to local author ities, shows steady progress, and the stocks on hand are being we'll cleaned Up.
 It was recalled that the only other time the exchange tried the experi- ment of keeping open over Good Frl- day-eight years ago-business was at a practical standstill all day

GENIUS OF GEO. WESTINGHOUSE
Remarkable That He Became Promi-
nent Early in Life.

Arthur Warren in Success Magazine"
George Westinghouse has a creative
mind. There is no country in the world
where train runs, or an engine works,
or a dynamo turns. in which his name
is not honored and familiar. He has
brought new mechanisms and new indus
tries into being; he has contributed large
~ to the progress in modern methods of
transportation and communication which
have shaped to such an extent the rela-
tons between individuals and commune
ties between nation and nation. The
postoffice the telegraph the railway.
and the steamship unite the most distant
regions. Upon them modern life is wholly
dependent in its social, industrial and
commercial phases. Stephenson gave us
the railway; Westinghouse made the mod
ern complex railway system possibility
by his inventions which control the move
ments of trains. Had he done no more
than this his name would still stand
among the great achievers.
George Westinghouse will be sixty years
Of age next October; he is built on a
massive scale, tall and as strong as a
blacksmith. He is alert, farsighted quiet,
sanguine, and untiring, with a constitu-
ton strong as nickel-steeI fIe is a most
agreeable man to meet, and has Ia rare
faculty for inspiring Others with his own

A remarkable fact in his career is the

A CARGO OF SNOW,
Or of What Looked Like That at First

From the New York Sun.
Looking down over the high hatch

snow-an odd cargo for a vessel to
bring.
They had already got out the bulk
of it from Immediately under the hatch
way and almost down to the vessels
floor, but all around still arose white
banks of 1t reaching up almost to the
vessels decks; and half way up one of
these steep snow banks man was at
work with a pick, dislodging masses of

shovels, piling this snow into great iron
tip buckets, which, as fast as they were

Reading Biographies as Stimulus.

0. S. Marden In Success Magazine.
We cannot help living in some degree
the lives of heroes who are constantly
In our minds. Our characters are con-
stantly being modified, shaped and
moulded by the suggestions which are
thus held.
The most helpful life stories for the
average youth are not the meteoric ones,
the unaccountable ones. the astonishing
ones like those of Napoleon, Oliver Crom-
we'll and julius Caesar.
The great stars of the race dazzle most
boys. They admire but they do not feel
that they can initiate them. They like
to read their lives, but they do not get
the helpfuness and the encourag cement
from them that they do from reading the
lives of those who have not startled the
world so much.
1t is the triumph of the ordinary ability
which is most helpful as an inspiration
and encouragement. The life of Lincoln
has been an infinitely greater inspira-
ton to the world than the life of Ma
poleon or that of Julius Caesar.

like something curious and interesting
