NEW YORK LETTER.

March 25-Bears In the stock market
have again demonstrated their ability
to hammer prices and that they have
control Of the situation is more than
assured. Higher prices from London
for several of the high class railroad
shares did not dismay the bear element
On the contrary, they started in from
opening of the market selling stocks
Of every description and kept it up un-
til the final close of the day. That
their efforts were well awarded can
be seen from the way prices gave way.
Union Pacific sold as low at 1924 Just
two points higher that the previous
low mark recorded on March 14th;
st. Paul declined to 123 or about five
points for the day; Reading about six;
Copper about seven. In the way OF
news the bears had everything had
their own way Call money rates
opened at per cent and ruled as high
as Ia per cent. This factor was used
by the bear element to depress prices
after the market had shown some dis
position to rally.
break in the metal market of five
cents a pound caused the big slump
in Amalgamated copper That such a
break was coming sooner or later was
expected by a great many of the best
posted traders, especially those who
are and have been familiar with cop
per trade conditions. They argued
that the metal market was inflated be-
yond all reason; copper selling at
twenty-five cents per pound is almost
prohibitive and that the law of supply
and demand Will prevail is emphasized
in today's break in the metal market.
The panieky conditions which were ap-
parent Saturday at the close still how
cred over the stock exchange today,
| prices declined steadily and at points
| throughout the list with the indications
for still further recession.

The English provide us with an ex-

ordinary murder case should be con-
Quoted A few weeks ago the leading
merchant of London. a Mr.. Whitley,
was killed by young man who had
failed to blackmail him. Yesterday a
trial of the case was had and a con-
viction secured. In one day the jury
was empaneled, the evidence adduced,
arguments made aud a verdict return
ed. Here the miserable Thaw case has
been dragging on for months and the
end is not in sight. 1t will not be
claimed that justice Is not done under
the English law, for 1t is Indeed, it
obtains in English courts much more
than In those Of the United States.
Here the criminal is made too much
Of He is afforded every sort of op-
portunity to circumvent the law and
evade punishment and, in his efforts
TO escape a richly merited fate. he too
often has with him a morbid public
opinion, the by-product Of a screeching
yellow press. In England nothing of
that sort is tolerated. Cases are tried
on their merits alone and justice is ad-
ministered without fear or favor In
the conduct of criminal cases, we might
well take a lesson from the book of
