New York, April IL-Undoubtedly the
rank and file OF speculative traders in
Wan street regarded the announcement
that the Supreme Court had ordered SIRE
hearing IN the Standard OIL and Ameri-
can Tobacco cases as one bringing a GER
tain fashion OF relief to more or less
strained situation.
1t may. of course, be pointed out that
a logical inference from to-day's action
by the Supreme Court is that at least
many members Of tho court are endeav-
oring to uphold the government side OF
the present controversy over the anti
trust law, and Il is still as true as ever
that sooner or later a decision on the
subject by the court must be made.
Suspense Not Ended.
It IS also evident that pending this de-
cision large business plans must stu
be in a species Of suspense and overhung
by contingencies that in no way can be
described as pleasing.
Previous 10 the announcement Of the
Supreme Courts order. which came
shortly after midday, the stock market
was firm. even II dun, but when the
action OF the court was known the
market was for a time exceedingly con-
fused. rallylng at first very vigorously,
then falling again and holding for a
time steadily at the lower range.
But in due course optimistic construc-
ton OF the days news from Washington
began to exert its force. and the market
again rose sharply during the remaining
hours OF business It closed in nearly
all instances at the highest level Of the
day and at advances running between
two and four points In the leading stocks.
Sterling Exchange WeakeF.
Sterling exchange weakened a little,
and the situation in this regard became
otherwise so altered as TO induce On idea
that gold shipments by next Wednes-
days steamer might not DO as large as
were anticipated last week.
The Bank OF England is obviously In
cTeasing its gold reserve somewhat. al
though IT only was able to purchase a
little more than half OF the 10000 pounds
of South African gold offered for sale
to-day in the open London market
Bankers here said that at the price now

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Just about the time that the gayel OF
President Hibbs called the local stock
exchange together yesterday the an
nouncement was sent over the wires
from the Capitol that the tobacco case
and the STANDARD Oil cases had been re-
manded for a hearing. The news had
an electric effect on this exchange. and
a much greater effect on the New YORK
Exchange. Local brokers were too much
interested In the Wall street market TO
pay much attention TO their own. and the
result was little trading and little interest
In Tecal securities.
Business had a fair start In the pur-
chase of bends before the announcement
from the Capitol came In. Gas certifi-
Gates. Columbia Railroad IS, Washing
ton Railway and Electric IS. and Po-
tomac Electric Consolidated IS were the
issues taken over by tho investors in that

The railway stocks entered into the
record to a limited extent, with prices a
shade advanced for the Washington Rail-
way and Electric shares. Trading In
stocks was quite limited and mostly in

Captain Wibb Conner of Ran

Tuesday morning enroute to Poca-
hontas, from upper Black river,
near the Corning bridge, where he
has been for the last few months
pearling. The Captain was exhib-
iting some nice pearls here, and al
though they were not so valuable,
they, together with the shells which
which he has taken from the river,
have more than paid his expense
while pearling. He now has car
load of shells at the Black river
bridge for which he has been offer
ed $50 per ton, and it is said that
there are at least 25 tons to the car,
making $500 for the shells alone.
Captain Conner has been in the
pearling business for the last year
and received a thousand dollars for
one pearl which he found last sum

has received from one of the larg-

letter asking him regarding large
tracts of land in Arkansas for

mountain land is satisfactory if it

saying there Is great deal of fine

can be secured, also inviting the

WHY THE BOYS BEAT
THE MEN RAISING CORN

Why is it that the boys who
Join the corn clubs make such large
yields while the average corn yields
of the south remain so low? No
doubt the boys have the advantage
of good land but the boys beat the
men on the same sort of ground.
The answer to the question is not
hard to find. These boys employ
modern ideas, up-to-date informa-
tion and approved methods of cul-
tivation. They know nothing OF
corn growing to begin with, and
know that they do not. Many of
the men know nothing of corn
growing, but don't know it. The
boys have nothing to unlearn and
all to learn. They go about their
tasks ready to learn, and study the
the literature of the question with
minds open to instruction. The
men must follow the same course to
produce large yields.
The fact that these boys are more
open to instruction, that they learn
more rapidly because of no preju-
dice to overcome and no long
formed habits to change, brings
home to us the importance of agri-
cultural instruction in the rural
schools. To fit the teaching of
our schools to the life Of the pupils
is necessary before the gospel of
good farming can reach the hearts
of all the people. Progressive
