SHEPARD BODY NEXT WEEK.

Advice From Los Angeles Says Body
Did Not Leave Wednesday Night.
A telegram to the T.-R. from A. p.
Wilbur, at Los Angeles, Calf, is to
the effect that he did not leave with
the body of Miss Mary Shepard on
Wednesday evening as he had expect
ed. Mr.. Wilbur states that Francis
Shepard. nephew of the deceased,
would accompany the body and would
cave next week. 1t is presumed that
the recent blizzard, which was worse
in the west than in this section of the
country, caused the change of plans.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. April ii.--Active stocks today narrowed to the group of securities Of pub lie utility corporations supplying New York City. The 2rofessed reason for the vols accrue to the traction conipanies by absolu- tlon through judicial decision from the ob- ligation to supply transfers between the Third Avenue and the Old Metropolitan
 Consolidated Gas was brought into the movement by the action on the part Of the company to btain release of the funds tied up in the hands of the court of the charges ment of which has been successfully con- tested in the courts.
 This movement has failed of sympathetic effect on the general list with which in- but there was no important demand to offset 1t. Copper securities suffered from some positive depression on account or the continued decline In the price of the metal, that decline was the resale from China of some speculative holdings of copper bought previously.
 Discoura cement was perceptibie over the iron and steel outlook and rumors were re iterated of an intended cut in prices as soon as financial conditions promise re- sources to the railroads for the purchase of material.
 The accumulation of the banking surplus market and further advance in sterling exchange rates today showed the resuiting effect in New York. Explanation or the rising tendency of foreign exchanEe rates is found in this showing some oIA the vances. the bond division other wise was dull and steady.
