at work all night shovellng snow In
order to have clear tracks to-day.
Heaps of the beautiful" are piled
along Main street but everybody you

Must be green" He was assured that a change would be made especially for him the next day.

Heavy Fall in Stocks.

New York, March-There was a violent slump in prices on the stock exchange again Monday, accompan- jed by excited trading, but without news to account for it other than a decline on metal prices ill London and higher rates for call money. The monetary situation did not seem to at. tract much attention. however, and according to brokers and members of banking firms, there was nothing to explain the rapid melting away of prices except that holders of stocks wanted to sell them without regard to the price they got for their shares. American Smelting was one of the weakest features, falling an extreme 13 1-4 points, but the United States Steel Corporation shares and the railroads also made wide declines. It was noteworthy that throughout the day there was an entire absence of the disturbing rumors of a fortnight ago to the effect that important fail ures were impending. Bankers gen. erally said that no one was in difficult ty, that brokerage houses had protected themselves with ample mar gins, and that whatever might be the underlying cause of the recent pre- cipitate declines in the market quo tations, they did not believe that it was the fear of anyone failing to meet his liabilities.
