side Happenings Was Condition
of Stock Market.

New York, April 15.-The stock
market today was extremely dull and
little influenced by outside happen
| iRgs. The statement of the country's
| foreign trade for March made a re
markable showing, the decline com
pared with March 1907 being up
wards Of $4,000. 900. Significance
was attached to the fact that exports
| have fallen below those of last year
| fer the first time since last October
when the financial crisis forced hasty
marketing abroad Of cur commodities
OF the stGG,000000 gold which
came in at that time there has been
until an engagement of $1,000000 to-
day for export, no refux abroad. The
decline in merchandise exports OF
20,00O,o00 for March compares, in
fact, with the shrnkage in imports
in the same comparison of nearly
$44 100000
Here is much more significant evil
dence of the effects of commercial de,
.pressicS :han i'll the export items. It
helps explain the lack of cheerfulness
in the markets abroad as well as
here. interior banks continue to ship
currency 60 New York on a very large
scale, bank notes figuring largely in
these shipments.
Owing largely to redemption of
these at IN sub-treasury the banks
have gained from that institution in
the present week $i9,S93 900, Several
large dividend disbursements were
made today and the pleheric condition
OF the money market was rather in.

Woman Always Pronose.

4 woman who probably knows says
tlat women do not propose any more
in leap year than in any other year,
for they always do the proposing. The
man may say the formal words, but
the woman has led up to it SO beau-
tifully that it is all in the world
that the man can do. And she says
that any married woman will tell you
that women invite their husbands-to-
