STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Supreme Court Railway Decision of
 Wide Effect.

New York. March 24.-There was increased appreciation in the financial world to-day of the importance of yesterdays supreme court decision at Washington against the validity of inc Minnesota and the North Carolina railroad rate laws. The late advice in the market yesterday was traceable to this influence, but not enough was known to perceive the scope of the decision The principles laid down in the decision are felt to provide ma terial safeguards In direction in which the fears of the financial world have turned with most solitude for many months past Not only in the force of existing state laws has there been subject for timidity on the part of capitalists and security holders but still more so in the threat of an extension of the campaign apainst corporations which would leave them. in the troubled apprehension of their owners, but little chance for life. If is from this extreme point of view of the possible aggravation of their troubles that the influence on senti- ment of the protection promised by the ruling of the supreme court of the United States must be estimated Severity of penalties in the way of lines and Imprisonment such as might work as an intimation against an ap- peal from the law are pointed out as Justifying the assertion of a con- stitutional right of protection The reassertion of the principle that the sufficiently of rates fixed by law to enable the company to obtain some return to their stockholders for their investment is subject to decision by the courts as security against a yio- lation of constitutional rights was a comforting assurance to security holders The special application of the decision was seen in the marked response of certain stocks. Consoli- dated Gas, for instance, has threshed out in the state courts the so cent gas law on the claim that it was confis- catory in its effort This companv was an intervening party in the case decided yesterday. Stocks of rail- roads in some of the southern states which have been stringent in their regulation of railroads were prompt to reflect the significance of the case. i Northwestern railroads were less af- fccted and this was undoubtedly be- cause of the prominence of those stocks have held in the previous ad- vance in the market There was. in fact a very extensive digestion of profitis effected in the course of the day and the price movement was. in consequence, uneven and irregular at times.
 Reports of resumption of working forces in the works at Schnectady caused the special strength in general electric. Profit-taking took good deal off the top prices in the late trad ing. but the market on the whole showed greater breadth and strength than for any day this year
 Bonds were firm. Total sales par value, s3,210.000.

UNCLE SAM BUSY.
Big Increase In Amount of Business
 at Local Postofiice.

There has been a great increase in the amount and variety of mall going through the postoffice
 Postofiice authorities are as able to judge about the amount off business being done as any other class of peo- pie in this city.
 There are very few houses that do not advertise and the majority of this advertising matter goes through the United States mails. thus giving the officials at the postofIce an opportun- fly to see what Is going on.
 As an instance of the varieties of mail matter young alligator about 10 inches long fell out from broken package on the table yesterday. The all ligator was dead when 1t was examin- ed but one of the clerks felt sure that 1t wigged after 1t fell out of the sack. The alligator was mailed 10 a New Haven man and was probably sent as souvenir.

In connection with the late setback a dispatch from St. Paul probably had something to do with the selling of stocks. It asserted that Gov.

The plan Is to so frame the law that 1t will eliminate the objections made by the court.
