improved Business Re-
Elected in Stock Market.
Trading in Securities More
Active Trade Better.
Growing Belief In Safety Of Winter
Wheat Crop Helps Sentiment.

New York, April 4.--Spcculation in
the stock market revived last week and
started to rear a surprise on the sub
stantia base Of the resistance shown
by the market for some time previous
to any incident of an unavoding char
acter. The news of business and in
dustral conditions offered Scanty ma
terial to account for the advance in
prices Of stocks. but it was reasoned
that diSrouraging news was no longer
inducing liquidation of securities and a
conviction that the bottom Of the bust
ness depression had been reached was
to be inferred from this disposition on
the part of securities holders.
In the confidence that a change in
existing conditions of business must
come. the better speculative restless
ness is not content to await the actual
event, but proceeds to anticipate it.
Following the speculative disappoint-
ment over the failure of demand for
stocks to revive with the inauguration
of the new President there followed a
period of apprehension with the ap-
proach of tine period for the introduce
ton Of the tariff bill. 1t was feared
that the changes proposed in duties on
imports might seem OMNIBUS to bust
ness interests affected and that the
holding up of business activity might
induce depression and declines in
values The events of the past week
demonstrate that the speculative ele-
ment entered upon extensive commit
ments on the short side of the market
as a result of this. The dull resting
tendency of stocks ever since has
placed this element in difficulties and
their requirements to obtain stocks to
fill their contracts have formed ma
terial force in the lifting of prices.
The bear account in American securi-
ties was large not only at home but
abroad and large foreign purchases
have figured in the rise in prices that
had been going on. Events abroad
have served to brighten financial pros
poets so far that a substantial invest
ment demand has sprung UP. in which
American securities seem to be en-
joying their share.
| OF the more positive factors in the
betterment of sentiment an influential
element is the growing belief in the

THE 74th LEGISLATURE
The Longest Session for IS and With One Ex.
ception for so years-..A Total Of 1916 Acts
And Resolves Passed During the 81 Days.

Previous to the present year the ap-
preparation for fish culture and fish
protection has for many years remained
at $25, 900 annually. During this time
the hatcheries have increased from
two to nine and there was a strong
feeling that the appropriations must
be increased if the supply was to be
kept up and the work OF still improv-
ing the fish to be expected. BY an
active campaign of this association the
appropriation was increased to $47, 500
for each of the years 1909 and 1910. Two
additional hatcheries will be built. one
in Knox county and one in Washing
ton county, and the one at Enfield will
be reconstructed so that the State will
by the close of the year have three
additional hatcheries or II in all, SO
situated as to easily distribute the fish
in its waters Aside from this quite
large number of screens will be put In
streams where the trout and salmon
have heretofore escaped from the main

Looms have been taken from the list
Of protected birds. and the law for

passed providing that it shall be un-
lawful to chase, hunt or kill ducks and
other wild fowl by the use of motor
boats on any of the inland waters OF

cal laws of this kind on certain wa
tiers, but now it Is d general law. The
attempt to make an open time for
spring shooting of ducks in some coast
towns failed.
