Richmond houses that handle bonds
are beginning to take u more cheer
full view Of the business prospects in
that line than they have held
at almost any time within the last
year. This Is reported to be true also
of other markets. The past five or six
days have witnessed n great improyc-
ment in the inquiry for high-class
bonds, the market for which has de-
veloped considerable strength and
sales cverywhcre--on the exchanges
ana over the countcrs-haye been
much larger than in months past.

POOR PROSPECTS
FOR BREAKS TO-DAY

The outlook for loose leaf tobacco
breaks at the warehouses to-day is not
encouraging to, the manufacturers, who
want good sun -cllred stock The weath-
er is not suitable for handling the weed,
and the receipts yesterday by rail were
hardly large enough to make decent
breaks to-day and up to last night no
wagons had shown up. However. there
will be small sales this morning, first at
Sheburne's, second at Stonewall, third at
Shockoe and fourth at Crenshaw's. 4ft55
1t is more than likely that with the
coming of real spring weather the million
or more pounds of sun-cured stock now
remaining in first hands will be rushed
to market, and after that the warehouse
men will be able to take q lengthy hol-

NEW YORK. April S.-Tho stock
market showed increasing indications
to-day of lapsing into professional
hands ana those of the smaller class
4 OF operators The frequent turns in
the course of prices, the narrowness
OF the fluctuations, and the notable
shrinkage i'll the aggregate sales for
the day, all pointed Enthusiastically to
1.-The abstention from the market of any
large and consistent class of opera
tors. This was the response of the
market to a rather general note of
warning from responsible sources of

extreme depression.

In the meantime. large note issues
by corporations are expected to call
for refunding, with success dependent
upon a revival Of the demand for
bonds.
brokerage houses to-day reported n
small volume of orders for stocks and
early attempts to advance price quite
generally met with supplies of stocks,
which turned the room traders to the
bear side of the market. The result
decline was incompletcly recovered

GIANT SOUTH PACIFIC
TORTOISE DIES At PARK
Wastes Away in Captivity
and Breathes Last in
Conservatory

After eighteen centuries of life in
the wonderful Galapagos Islands in
the South Pacific and the brief span
of one year of captivity in Golden
Gate Park, the great Testida Vestuta,
pride and pet of the keepers of the
conservatory, died of Inflammation of
the lungs yesterday Some of the park
employees say he died of a broken
heart.
The huge tortoise. weighing at the
time of his capture more than 500
pounds, wasted away from the effects
of the extreme change In temperature
until at the time of his death he
weighed but 400 pounds. There was
genuine sorrow among the attaches
of the conservatory when it was dis
covered that the tortoise was breath
ing his last in the annex amid tropical
surroundings and to the sad dirge Of
raindrops pattering upon the glass
roof of his prison.
About year ago an expedition was
sent out by the Academy of Science to
undertake a thorough exploration of
the Galapagos Archipelago, situated
about 500 miles off the coast of Ecua-
dor. These islands are of volcanic
origin and are noted for the Iuxuriance
of their fora and fauna, particularly
for the great land tortoises which for
merly abounded and a few, of which
still remain.
The scientists brought with them
several specimens of various species of
tortoises. Only about twenty of these
survived the voyage, among them the
largest of all. The skeletons of the
dead were preserved and now form a
valuable collection of the academy
The giant measured five feet across
the back, but in spite of his size was
gentle and almost pathetic in mani
- l.. -.
cline of the islands. He refused to
eat and was kept alive only by forcing
a few carrots down his throat
Only eight, the largest weighing
forty pounds, remain alive of the hun
dreds brought back by the expedition
