NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, May 9.-Up to almost the
close Of the session the stock market
had the semblance Of the previous days
For minutes at a time not a quotation
was recorded. Prices varied fraction
ally within a narrow range.
About 1 o'clock surprise was
sprung upon the street when the 'gos-
sip" tickers announced that Mr.. Har-
riman had called a special meeting of
the Union Pacific company The d.
rectors had no idea what the meeting
was called for and pursuant to the
usual policy, they anticipated melon
cutting of some kind. AS a conse-
quence, stocks. especially the Harri-
man shares. Union and Southern Pa
cif1c, started on a sky rocketing tour.
Union Pacific sold up from 146 to
149A and Southern Pacific from 81 to
S6. The boom was short-lived, how
ever A few minutes after the direct
ors convened Mr.. Hartman had ex-
planned what the meeting was called
for, somebody started to unload Union
Pacific stock in lots of one to five
thousand shares. The selling was not
of the ordinary kind and undoubtedly
bore the earmarks of insiders" This
selling in the Hartman stocks almost
precipitated another panic in the stock
market
A sympathetic break occurred in all
of the standard shares, st. Paul, Copper,
American Shelters, Baltimore Sc Ohio,
New York Central all showed losses of
from one to three points.
Mr.. Harriman's plan is to issue a
large amount Of both Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific bonds which will be
convertible into stock in about three
years. In view Of the recent coup Mr..
Hartman pulled off by raising the
dividend rate of Union Pacific from five
to ten per cent, the present action was
wholly unexpected and fell like q
thunderbolt upon stock traders and di-
rectors of the Hartman companies.

THE HAMMOND BEAUTIFUL.

With the cleaning process going on
at the present time in many of the
cities Of the country. isn't it about time
that something was done to make our
own city a little more picturesque. or
perhaps wholesome to the public gaze?
During the month Of May the house
holder looks after his back yard and
his front lawn. while the good house
wife tucks up her sleeves and washes,
scrubs. paints and dusts until the house
takes on a cleanliness that repays her
for the lame back and aching muscles.
While this is going on all over the
world, is it not fitting and proper that
something be done to make certain
sections Of Hammond's business streets
look fairer? Take that section around
and about the railroad depots near
state and Holman streets for example.
The sections between the tracks. and
the lots on each side look more like a
dumping ground than the center of q
city's business section. Old papers and
other refuse are scattered about and
with the old shacks they call depots,
fl is a sickening sight The visitor ar
rtving in Hammond by way Of the
railroads. gets a mighty poor idea
Of Hammond from first sight, and
# fl well known fact that first
sight makes an impression that is
hard to overthrow. The Michigan Cen
trail railroad has a pretty green park
near the station that is credit. but
the other railroads make no pretense
of fixing UP at all. A little expendi-
fura Of labor and money in laying out
grass plot or at least keeping the
plots free OF refuse would add a whole
lot TO the beauty OF the city. And to
add still more, make the companies
tear down the old shacks they call de-
pots and build at least a. respectable
looking stone structure, so that the
prospective business man can get q
good impression OF the local pride when
he arrives.

WITH THE EDITORS
Memorial Day.

Why not do away with Decoration
day? 1t has degenerated into a holi-
day that has lost almost all Of its
original meaning. There is a parade of
old soldiers and the school children in
the morning, the band plays a funeral
march, the graves of the dead warriors
are garlanded with flowers by the chill
dren. volley is fired. the bugle sounds
taps and the procession wends its way
homeward again.
There is no suggestion OF mourning
In the afternoon. Cay laughter floats
from picnic parties and shouts and
cheers from the baseball diamond. All
the world but the old soldier is TAX
ing q holiday. He alone is left with
his memories of dead comrades and the
thought that soon he too will be for
gotten by the rest, even as they are.
There is a custom that has come to
be almost universal Of setting apart
the Sunday before May S0th as a day
on which the veterans may attend di-
vine service together and listen TO q
discourse appropriate to the occasion.
This is the true Memorial day.
Why not SO regard il and leave of
this hollow mockery of a day whose
idea Of n quiet reflection upon the
lives and deeds Of the nations de-
tenders is exchanged for the noisy
revelry Of pleasure seekers?
If we need holiday at this time OF
the year let US have II but let US cease
calling it Memorial day.-Sehenectady
Gazette.

THE BILL BOARD NUISANCE.

The Illinois house of representatives,
yesterday passed a bill prohibiting the
erection of signs or billboards within
500 feet Of a park, boulevard or pub
lie square in all cities of over $4,000
Inhabitants.
In various cities throughout the
country councils are passing ordin-
ances taxing bil1boards and limiting
the territory in which they may be
placed And this suggests that fact
that Hammond should have its esthetic
sensibilities aroused to an extent that
would insure some legislation of this
kind.
Five years ago there was not q bill
board in the city and it has been dur
Ing the past few years that these I'M
slightly objects have been placed in the
most conspicuous places all over the
city.
Hammond as "city beautiful has
little to brag about. but that should be
the very reason why the fact of the
city should not be plastered with ugly
bilIboards.
The owners of these big signs have
not confined themselves to the business
districts but have invaded the resi-
aence districts and have great walls of
billboards in front of fine residences in
the vicinity of ogden street and even
as far out as Conkey avenue.
1t is an abuse that should not be
tolerated by the lovers of an orderly
city, and the so-called practical bust
ness men should see that such glazing
advertisements materially reduce the
value of property in the vicinity
Hammond has grown in prosperity
and in size, but in attractiveness it
has been at a standstin for a number
of years. However, it cannot be ex-
pected of the man whose home is hid
den by big billboard that he will
spend any large amount of either time
or money making attractive lawns and
gardens about his home.
Anton J. Cermak, who fathered the
billboard bill in the Illinois house, said:
II shudder when I see the glaring
atrocities that line our bOulevards.
They are distressing. Think of a beau
tiful avenue of elms or a stretch Of
foliage and sward forming vista for
a patent medicine 'ad' or nickel cigar
billboard It's a shock to the nerves
sometimes to cast the eyes across d
charming landscape only to bring up
against a fiaring billboard at which
pals of paint have been tossed until
it looks like a chromatic Omelet. This
is a good bill. and it ought to pass"

After the bears had succeeded in CIV
ing the market a heavy tone yesterday
by exerting pressure on New York
Central, Delaware & Hudson and few
other stocks, they had recourse to the
fruitful subject of crop damage as
means to further their operations, and
before long every broker in the room
had heard from one source or another
that the government report to be pub
lished Friday would show a condition
of only IS per cent for winter wheat
That this might seem convincing there
was talk of a leak, but it is doubtful
If assertions of this kind had the de-
sired effect, for the feeling has be-
come very strong in Wall street that
ell the figures of the bureau of sta
tistics and all the data from which
the monthly crop reports are compiled
are very closely guarded. On the
ground that this represented the bears
last gun some shrewd traders began
to buy stocks for a rally.

Though the general opinion is that
there will be little doing in the mar
ket until the government crop report
Friday, 1t would not surprise us If
there would be a sharp rally in ad
vance thereof, due to short covering
and inside buying. The weather in the
agricultural districts is considerably
more promising and there is reason to
believe Secretary Wilson's recent
statement is an indication that the re-
port will not be as unfavorable as
generally predicted Except in Della
ware & Hudson, there has been little
long stock coming out and the short
interest is doubtless against consider
ably extended. There is no foundation
for the belief that there will be any
early exports of gold to France or
anywhere else, and general business is
certainly gratifyingly brisk, while rail-
roads are operating under more fav-
orable conditions than for months.
