evening Of October 81. the Druid priests
always built fires to the sun upon the
hilltops. They gathered about their
stone altars and clad In robes OF WINE,
offered up thanksgiving for the har-
vest
This festival really marked the be-
ginning OF the winter season. The fires
in every household were extinguished
and were lighted from a brand klndled
by the priests.
The Druids thought that the Lord II
Death was abroad that night. They
believed In the transmigration. Of
souls. Offerings were always made to
the Lord of Death that he would miti-
gate the sentences.
Ancient Roman Custom

RISING TENDENCY
Marked Stock Market Yesterday
Strength lnterspersed With
Evidences of Reaction.

New York, April 10.-The stock
market enjoyed a considerable period
of strength today, but gave evidence
during the later stages OF the advance
of reactionary tendency.
There were several conspicuous
| stocks among the industrials which
were almost wholly unresponsive to
the rising tendency of prices and
these proved an increasing weight on
the market.
United States Steel was a notable
example, although Amalgamated cop
pers heaviness also was of some
sympathetic effect.
The early strength of the market,
outside of specialties, was traceable
to the influence of the Erie settle
ment, the stocks of that company and
of Union Pacific leading the move.
ment
The assumption of buyers of these
stocks was that the more intimate re.
lations between the two railroad sys-
TENS would be the outgrowth of the
advance of funds to the Erie by E.
II. Hartman.
Prospects for a good bank state
ment had some influence on the mar
ket, although the prevailing ease of
the money market obscures the inn
portance of the weekly changes and
to some tXent the promise is for a
Eain in cash by banks of about s..
600 600. The fact that receipts from
the interior on balances as a result
OF the express movement are some
what smaller than last week. was ac
cepted with complacency, as con
tinuance of the full tide of the
money flow from the interior would
be regarded as of sinister Importance
as to the shrinkage In business ac-
tivity.
The constituencies of the wheat mar
ket to some reports of damage to
wheat in Kansas from dry weather
was suggestive of the importance |
which Will attach to that subject of |
of speculative sentiment
for the future.
