AND THE WOMAN INTERFERED.
She Wasn't Going to Let Any Flirta-
ton Go on in Her Presence.

Il saw an odd case of interference
with other folks business the other
day in the subway" said a young man.
A very pretty and young girl got in
a local train on the upper West side.
A couple of stations further on, in
came a young man who sat where he
could see the girl.
"She was good to look at, too. He
caught her eye and apparently held
her attention. Maybe it wasn't just the
right thing for her to do, but after
time she moved her head and obvious
ly tried to smother smile.
'The young chap wasn't bit back.
ward and before the train got much
further along he was sitting in the
cross seat with the girl and chatting.
There was a middle-aged woman In
the car who apparently had watched
the whole affair just as l had. The
car was practically empty and the
others in it were reading newspapers
and hadn't paid attention to what was
going on.

changed from one Of the lengthwise
seats and took her place in the very
cross seat where the two were sitting.
They didn't notice her until she leaned
over and said something to the girl. !
could just imagine from her looks that
she was asking: DO you know this
young man?
1.-The young girl flushed up. looked
three times as pretty and the woman
kept on talking and looking stern.
THE upshot of it was that the
young fellow got out at the next sta
ton, apparently to hide his embarrass'
ment, and the girl stayed where she
was.
AFTER she'd broken up the little
party the woman moved out OF the
seat and back to where she was before
It made me little sore and felt like
asking her what business 1t was OF
hers. But then again It wasn't my
business, either, 90 I didn't T.

New York April S--With but few ex-
ceptions. opening prices in the stock mar
ket this morning were quite a little be-
low the last quotations yesterday, at levels
in more than one OF the active stocks
fully 2 points below the highest range
touched on the recent upward movement.
These prices proved TO be the lowest OF
the day, and the course OF the market
thereafter appeared 10 justify the sus-
picion that the opening break partoOk
more or less of the nature OF a bear
drive"
At any rate. the market steadily
strengthened after the first few minutes
Of trading. and closed with gains OF a
fun point or more IN a large number Of
the standard shares. Probably a good
share Of this strength was due TO the
quick buying in Of the stocks by specu-
lators for the fall who increased their
commitments yesterday when they OBJ
served what was al that time the plainly
draining tendency OF values.
Expect Favorable Decision.
OF course. rumor was busy on the sub
ject OF the commodities clause case ana a
possible decision on it by the Supreme
Court Of the United. States on Monday;
but to-day the temper Of the speculation
colored this gossip with a cheerful tInge.
From a positive conviction several weeks
ago that the decision would be unfa-
vorable 10 the railroad companies, the
current idea to-day was that the pro-
nOuncement OF the court would be or a
favorable sort from the railroad point OF
view. But the truth was undoubtedly
that there was no knowledge whatever
IN the financial district as 10 the import
Of the decision or even the slightest feel
ing OF certainty that Monday would bring
decision in the case at all.
Specialties affected in tO-day's mar
ket dealings were the Corn Products
shares and. as was the case yesterday,
the Manhattan Traction stocks. Rea-
sons for the advance in this latter
quarter were or the same mysterious
nature that they long have been. but II
must be admitted an impression IS gain
ing ground that the impending reorgani-
zation OF the Metropolitan Street Rail
way system will leave a measure of
value for the Metropolitan
stocks somewhat greater than has been
hitherto commonly supposed. Improving
business prospects were the reasons as
signed for the rise in corn products
stock
Practically the only news outside OF
that OF failure Of no great Importance
in Chicago, owing TO the course OF the
grain market. was that contained IN the
weekly bank statement, which exhibited,
as was expected, the effect upon bank
loans Of the movement in security prices
during the week These loans increased
in the neighborhood OF $lO,O0O.O09 IN both
the actual and average forms Of the
statement. resulting in a slight decrease
In the bank surplus.
