FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
MORE CHEERFUL MOOD
Displayed by Spectators - Upward
 Stock Movement More Uniform.

New York, April 22.-The speculative mood in the stock market today took
 on a more cheerful hue, although in somewhat subdued fashion. Stocks which were sold yesterday were re-
 purchased today and the upward movement became more uniform and consistent than the halting and irreg- ular decline of yesterday. The sub dued tone of the speculation may be juBtly attributable to the firmer tone of the market for call loans rates for that form of credit ranging above per cent again today The improved finan
 cial position of many railroad compan- ies az a result of loans already placed makes q strong sustaining influence for values. Another substantial support in confidence is the subsistence of appre- hension over the grain crop position. This is partly due to tho decline in the price Of wheat. which was continued today. Cheering advices of tine condi- ton of the growing winter wheat crop and of the spring wheat seeding were added to this symptom. The impress
 sion made by extrayagant claims of depleted stocks of grain in the inter est of the wheat speculation Is thus di- unfinished. The reViving demand for pigirOn is considered of the utmost i'm pOrtance as a barometer of basic con ditions and reports were in circulation LOuhy III Iue IllldHCldI ulSlIlCL that Ifl6 earnings of the United States Steel corporation for the first quarter which are to be reported next Tuesday, would be found much better than has been estimated In current rumors. Favor able reports were received also in re- gard to the copper trade. Special strength in the New York Traction stocks was traceable to the reports of earnings coming from the receivers, in whose hands those properties are held. The announcement that the Pennsyl- vania had repurchased the Norfolk and Western stock sold some time ago to its bankers during the height of the auti-corporatiOn agitation was consid- cred highly significant of the increased assurance felt by corporation man. agers regarding the tone of public sen timent towards them. The bond mar ket showed notable breadth and strength. Total sales, par value, $10,- 240, ,000. United States threes coupon advanced IA per cent on call.

SHOPPING IN FRANCE IS EASY.
saleswomen Are Remarkably Adept at
 Their Business.

That the saleswomen in European shops are wonderfully quick-witted has often been noted. This is especially true of the French. Many of them. without understanding English, will in terpret correctly the comments Ameri- cans make aside when examining goods, simply by studying their ges- lures and facial expressions. Once in Brussels we were looking at gloves. To my certain knowledge the sales woman was wholly unacquainted with the English language. My companion said privately to me: q am afraid these gloves will spot" 70, no, madame" the saleswoman instantly interrupted, in French, they will never spot at all"
 In Boulogne-sur-Mer, at a shop for mems furnishings, asked for dress shirts. A very bright young woman gave me a quick, sharp glance, and then brought some specimens. They bore no distinguishing marks as to size. ''Is there some man here who can take my measure?" asked. That is not necessary, sir" she replied, very sweetly. Are you sure these will fit mel" Perfectly" But how can you tell?" argued, uncon- vinced.

Thomas Butler, a colonel in the army of the United States early in the nineteenth century, died in New Or leans in 1S05 in the midst of his cele- brated controversy with Gen. Wilkin- son regarding the wearing of his queue.
 Col. Butler insisted on wearing his hair in the old-fashioned style in dis obedience to Wilkinsen's orders. Ac- cording to Pierce Butler in his biog- raphy of Judah P. Benjamin, while the dispute was still raging Butler died and left directions that a hole should be bored in the head of his coffin and that he should be borne to the grave with his triumphant pigtail protruding in defiance. The family tradition is that these directions were carried out.

N. F. A. HITS THE BALL HARD
Noah Websters Beaten by Big Score-Game Loosely Played-Bukeley and Westerly High in League Game
 This Afternoon Season Opens in Several Major
 League Cities-Other Sports

The Academy ball team lined up for practice game on the campus Thurs day afternoon with tke Noah Websters from Norwich Town, easily defeating them 21 to 6. The Websters were short a pitcher when they started, and the Academy got some great batting practice in the first three innings while Jack Casey was in the box and the single inning while Tim Sullivan bent them over. Ben Houlihan was in the box for the Websters in the last four innings. The schoolboys landed on him for six hits, five of them coming in the sixth. Houlihan famed out the side on his first appearance in the box.
 Jack Gallivan Lwirled a game that the WebSters couldn't touch, although Jack Riley led off with the big scream of the afternoon, a homer over center field fence to open the game. Gallivan retired on strikes the three batters who faced him in the second and piled up a total Of nine strikeouts to his credit.
 Coach TirTell was on the bench with the Academy men, watching closely their signal game and inside work, WI ich needed to be touched up in sev- eral instances in the matter of wide awake base running. Captain Moves was right on the job, boosting the men along to lively gait, and pulled down one nice skyscraper in left held, be- sides batting strongly. The Academy boys were out in their handsome new suits for the first time, presenting a spick and span appearance, and their play showed plenty of promise of strength which will make them formid able opponents to the other teams of the league.
 For their first league game the Academy goes to Willimantic on Sat urday to play the Windham High school.

A medical journal in issuing a warn ing against kissing tells of a young man who was inoculated with a seri- ous illness by friendly kiss from . young woman. He, in turn, kissed his fancee, the journal in question neg lecting to state whether she knew of the prior kiss. The fiancee kissed her girl friends. they kissed their sweet hearts and everybody got sick. In an other case tubercuious young woman kissed her sweetheart, and both died within the year. But in spite of these awful warnings and advice about either nonosculation or antiseptic osculation, kissing in the good old fashioned way will continue popular.

'The seal or signet ring" said a jeweler, "once had a very practical use. In the Middle Ages, when no body but the priests could write, men stamped documents with their signet rings, as the illiterate now make their marks.
 The signet rings of noblemen bore the owners crest or arms. The rings of merchants bore intricate mono grams, trademark or the like. There are certain old continental firms that preserve in cabinets the seal rings worn by their founders-rings whose seals are inscribed with the trade marks still in use"
