THE MARKETS

New York, April 1.-The action OF

Gradually Warmer Weather Promised
In This Latitude.
The crest Of the high area pressure
which brought the late cold wave,
passed our meridian yesterday after
noon. It's effects we're widespread,
md yesterday covered the entire coun-
.ry from tho Rockies to the Atlantic,
reducing frosts as far south as Fort
Worth, Texas, and freezing weather as
n south as southern Missouri. Zero
mperature was reported along the
parallel OF Mackinac. Killing frosts
were reported at Asheville, N. G..
Springfield, Mo-. Forth Smith, Ark,
and Oklahoma City.
The barometer will fall slowly to-
day, and the temperature rise gradu-
ally. The winds, responding to the In
fluence OF low area coming down from
the northwest will shift TO the south
or southeast and may become fresh
and brisk during the day. The trough
of low area extends from lower Call
fornja to British Columbia everything
the entire mountain area. and will
bring with 1t milder weather.

been sufficient In themselves to bring
about notable decline In market
prices Ii now admitted by everyone,
but beyond all this the specific influ-
ence to bear against the stock mar
ket recently has been selling OF
stocks by spectators for the fall in
greater degree and with an amount
OF utter recklessness not seen In Wall
street since the dark days of 1896 dur
ing the first Bryan electoral campaign.
4 new race of speculative plungers
on the short side OF the market was
seemingly called into existence and
the extent OF the commitments Of
these operators ran to extreme
lengths. At the low point touched
by prices a week ago the stock market
was undoubtedly in the most over
sold condition that It has been for
more than a decade. Wnen the per-
fod OF hysteria ceased end something
like calm. consideration OF the fnan-
clal situation began to prevail IL
began highly probable that out of this
condition, In turn certain other re-
suits would happen. A foretaste of
these consequences was given to the
market last Friday when the specula-
tors who had made contracts to de-
liver Canadian Pacific stock they did
not own, eDdeavored to close their
accounts. They found that at the re-
diculously low prices that they had
offered the stock the shares had been
taken by actual investors, a large
number of these purchasers being for
eigners.
Renewed efforts to cover caused an
upward moventnt in the price OF the
stock far more sensational than the
previous decline In II. Today the
Canadian Pacific shares were In such
demand that premium OF lie to 1
per cent was paid for use overnight,
and although no other premims were
exacted for the use OF other stocks,
still the landing rates on many of
them were so low as to clearly indi-
cate the true state Of the market.
Canadian Pacific stock sold at prices
30 points lower than the lowest touch
cd by a few days. and while no such
great recoveries as this were shown
elsewhere In the market today the
enforced buying movement that went
on was manifestly OF the same gen.
eral description.

development on European lines is ad.
vanced and II is the leading seaport
along the coast north of Zanzibar
The great advantage of Nairobl as
the seat Of government Is that II has
central position In the protectorate
being 1928 miles from Momaba and 25G
from Port Florence, on Victoria NY
ANA, and II is on the elge Of the lofty
region where British farmers are now
settling and developing new homes.
The nicknames of "Tin City" and
Zinc City" are applied to Nairobi by
the white men who have visited II.
There is not wooden building I'm
the place. Every building was con.
structed Of galvanized iron, which was
brought from Europe in sheets ready
to be fastened together to form the
walls, roofs and partitions of houses
The town came into existence by the
Nat of George Whitehouse. the chief
engineer OF the Uganda railroad.
Grumbllng Britons. who think he
might have selected more pictur
oJque site for the town. agree that Sir
George Ia good engineer, but say he
has no artistic sense. His white tents
were scattered over the plain where
the town now stands, when one morn
ing Sir George announced to his sub.
ordinates who had assembled for
breakfast:
"on this spot we are going TO have
largo settlement. Here will be the
entrepot OF the Uganda railroad. Here
will be the machine shops and here
will live hundreds of our country
men and thousands OF Indian and ma.
tive workmen."
Everybody was surprised. People
asked the chief why he had selected
this place on the vast aasai plateau,
where there was not an inhabitant OF
tree. Why. did he not choose for the
site nj HIS town one OF the wooded
ridges within sight OF the plateau?
He would have plenty OF elbow room
on the Hat plain, but It Offered no
other advantages.
"Well," said Sir George. Il have
been thinking OF this matter for long
time. and the town will be built on
the plain.
There is not room for II on the
surrounding ridges. It's situation is
first rate for our purposes. It Is high
and healthful, and the railroad officials
with their families can live in this
region In good health. while they
would probably die at Mombasa or
Port Florence.
This spot is right ON the edge OF
the territories occupied by the Nasal
and the Kikuyu. and here better than
In any other place can we manage
these two turbulent tribes. The land
rises rapidly to the north, and there
is the fertile region TO which we are
going TO invite the British farmers.
.'Nairobl creek runs across the site
and supplies the best Of water. The
name Of the settlement win be Nairo-
bi. The homes OF the officials will be
built on these surrounding ridges, bu'
all the shops and other interests OF
the place will be In the town."-New

FRUIT BADLY DAMAGED

The unusually warm weather OF last
weeks gave the early fruit buds a
somewhat abnormal development
This was especially the case with
peaches and cherries. The sudden
change Of temperature Sunday night,
when the mercury dropped below
zero has undoubtedly caused heavy
damage in this section. Those who
have examined the fruit trees say that
the prospects for crop of early fruit
have been practically ruined by Sun
day nights fall Of temperature.
