Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 6.-During the last
day or two there has been a greater d.
versity of opinion regarding the i'm
mediate future of the stock market than
has prevailed for some weeks previously.
Observers of optimistic tendencies MAIN
tain that the market cannot much longer
continue to move in practically the same
groove. While they admit that the i'm
mediate outlook is not specially promis-
ing. they think that most of the forced
liquidation is thing of the past and that
on developments of a moderately favor
able character the market will move up
rather sharply.
"a
Although more has been said recently
regarding Improvement In the copper
trade than in the iron and steel trade.
those who are best informed think that
the actual Improvement in the latter has
been considerably greater than in the
former. They believe also that contrary
to recently expressed opinions, iron and
steel will continue to serve as 1t has for
many years as the barometer of general
business.
While the market, for the greater part
of the session yesterday. had a seemingly
good tone close observers said that the
buying was Of a professional character,
and that market could not be char
acterized as strong when Union Pacific
could be depressed nearly two points on
the sale of few hundred shares. No one
except professional operators who are
understood to be heavily committed to the
short side is predicting a further big
slump in prices. Conservative interests,
however. do not think that there will be
a sharp upward turn. but on the con-
trarY look for the net change to be loss
from the present level.

SPRINGDALE CHAUTAUQUA
 OPENS LAST OF JUNE

This IS Chautauqua month in Springdale, and an unusually good program has been prepared for the benefit of our people. We say this unhesitatingly and with out mental reservation, as the writer hereof has had some ex- perienee in selecting Chautauqua talent and thinks he knows good program when he sees 1t. A movement IS on foot to have the business houses close a DOT tion of the afternoon during Chautauqua in order to enable all to attend, and this IS as 1t should be. This will not only be of benefit to the Chautauqua, but will be source of pleasure to the merchants and clerks, as 1t will enable them to attend and enjoy the Chautauqua along with other folks.

CAMPAIGN LITERATURE
 WILL SOON BE PLENTIFUL

Washington, May 31.-The time IS nearly at hand when the voter from Maine to California and from Florida to Puget Sound will be deluged with campaign literature in the form of House and Senate speeches.
 Within a short time the mana gers of the Republican and De- moeratie campaign committees will set to work to sort out the speeches made in congress this season. The Republican mana gers, of course, will pick out those Republican speeches with a few stray ones by Democrats, that they consider will be useful for distribution for campaign purposes.
 The Democratic managers will ot course, rely mainly on the speeches of Democratic members, but they will find some ammuni- tion in certain of the speeches by Republicans.

N. W. ARK. FARES BETTER
 THAN OTHER SECTIONS

Wilson Cardwell returned Sun day from points in the north where he had been selling straw berries for the Ozark Fruit Crow CTS Association. He was in North Dakota, Minnesota and as far north as Canada. He sold noth- ing for less than S2.00 per crate, and from that up to S2.50. It has only been in the last two years that berries have been shipped from Arkansas and Mis- sourl 10 those points, except through the jobber, and Mr. Cardwell IS of the opinion that is good market and should be cul- tivated. Most of the berries they get up there are from Wash lngton and Oregon, but they will not be on the market until next week, so our berries do not come into competition with them. It costs 4S cents per crate, ? cents per quart, duty to ship berries over the line into Canada, but like other forms of tariff the con- sumer pays the freight. Speak ing of rain, NIT. Cardwell says 1t has been raining in all sections of the country, from Canada on South, and that corn looks better in this section than any lie saw while away.
