SAY NO PAY FOR SUNDAY.
Accountants Sill for Labor Turned
Down BY Board.

Town by 6oaro.
Atlantic A peculiar situation has
arisen here over the claim Of George
e. Pennell against the county for
work done in checking up the county
books in ACCORDANCE with recent or
der of court. When the order was
made by Judge Green that Mr.. Pen
nell do the work, 1t was provided that
he was to receive IS per day. Mr..
Pencil worked twenty days, includ-
ing three Sundays, the Sunday work
being done to facilitate matters.
When he presented his claim to the
board of supervisors 1t was Tor 500,
and the board cut it SIS, not al.
lowing him for the Sunday work,
three members taking the stand that
there being an anti-Sunday law in the
state 1t would be violation of law
to allow it., Therefore he was al.
lowed but $85 and now he says he
Will not finish the work unless he Is
paid for the three Sundays. AS there
is much of the work yet to do, the
board will either have to allow the
additional SIS or get some one else to
do the work. The vote on the origi-
nal bill was three to two.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Trading Becomes ListIess and Prices
 Slip Backwards.

New York, May 1.-Trading in stocks became listless again to-day and prices were allowed to slip backward under very moderate selling pressure. Some of the days news items were adduced to explain the sag of prices, including fresh crop damage reports, but proba- bly, the largest influencing factor on speculative sentiment was the fact that Union Pacific was under pressure For several days past the movement of the whole market has been practically confined to the sympathetic effect Of the course of Union Pacific. When that stock turned downwards to-day the life went out of the trading. There was some show of strength in the stocks connected with the copper in dustry, including Amalgamated Cop per, Anaconda and American Smelling. This seemed to be caused by violent upward rebound in the price of copper warrants in the London market. The rise of these stocks was of slight infiu- ence on the general list. The United States Steel quarterly report was with out effect on the shares of that com pany, which were sluggish and unusu- ally neglected all day The earnings of the company for the quarter and the unified orders on hand at its close were acknowledged to show tlatter- ing condition of affairs in the trade. The speculative view of the report, however, is that present activity repre- sents the completion of projects enter ed upon before the outlook became clouded by the difficulty of the rail- roads in securing capital. It is held that the extent of the effect of the cur tailment by railroads on the steel in dustry must be looked for in the future operations of the company.
 The effect of the announcement of a convertible bond issue by the Atchison that company and hurt the whole mar ket. Upon the annouhcement of the new bond issue the old convertihles, which sold at 100 12 in the morning, ran off to below 9S
 Some minor effect towards depres- sion was caused by rise in the call srnoneyf rate The hardening of call loans was moderate and was attributed to a number of causes, including the May 1 money settlements and the opening of new bank. The London stock market was closed, but sterling exchange here was firm. The violent upturn in the late wheat market de- cided the downward course of stocks, which left closing prices at near the lowest of the day.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value $1,474000.
 United States bonds were unchanged G On call
