No Collar Division Team for Theirs in
 New Trolley League.

With the advent of spring weather. baseball interest among the local fans ts on the increase and all eyes are turned to Middietown's nine in the Connecticut baseball association. It has been no small task to set the ball a-rolling, and those most vitally interested in the matter have met with many discouragements; but the clouds are now commencing to clear away. and the prospects look very encour- aging.
 Secretary Fisher, who holds the Middletown franchise until 1t is dis posed of to some one else, has been spending considerable time on the sub made to secure the grounds near Pa meecha, but this deal has fallen through. as some of the owners of the lots want a small sized fortune. MT. Fisher. however, did not put all his eggs in one basket and before he com menced negotiations for the Pameecha grounds had secured an option on the old grounds at Lakeview.
 He is not disposed to take these grounds unless absolutely necessary, for the reason that they are a little too far removed from the heart of the city. He is now trying to secure other grounds, nearer the city. and if this plan falls through, it may be nee essary to use the Lakeyiew grounds at least for this season.
 MiddIetown has several men signed, with more on the way.
 The fans for the most part have been showing a keen interest in base ball affairs although, usual, there are a few disgruntled ones, who have been looking at the hole instead of the doughnut- To those who are skeptical the advice is given to have patience and remember that good old sporting adage, 'f you can't boost. don't knock" One thing is certain. says MT. Fisher. and that is that Middle town will have a team in the league, and. furthermore, there Is every req son to believe that the team will not finish the season in the cellar position. Sun.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
ADVANCE IN PRICE OF STOCKS. Final Prices Near tho Best in Face of
 Some Realizing.

New York, April I3.-The rise of prices of stocks which occurred today was without any change in conditions to explain it beyond a rather marked concurrence of speculative sentiment in it's favor. There was general con- viction about the stock exchange that the advance in the market had the as- sent if not the active cooperation, of the financial groups most influential in market movements. The movement in United States Steel was the most effective factor in conveying this inn pression. The volume of transactions in tha tstock and its agfressive ad- vance were, in themselves, suggestive of the inside activities which have heralded by confident predictions from official sources in the corporation. Ru- mors of an increase in the dividend on the stock to a 5 per cent. rate were renewed with great positivenss.
 Bankers and corporation represent atives expressed themselves hopefully of the prospect for business and of the good effects to flow from the putting cases for a period of such indefinite duration as to make 1t improbable that affairs would be held in suspense throughout the period.
 1t was noticeable that the copper stocks shared in the days advance, al though it has been taken for granted that the contemplated merger of those properties would be held in abeyance until the antitrust cases define the permissible field for such a merger.
 A factor in encouraging operations in stocks was a Tightening of the pressure on the New York banking reserves.
 Brooklyn Transit was an early lead CT of the advance under the seasonable influence of coming summer traffic and dividend rumors. Rock Island was benefited by the entry of new lnaer- ests to the directory.
 Final prices were sustained near the best. in the face of some realizing.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,S90,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

We would also like to say that we beat the Emeralds by tn score of 21 to 20. The Emeralds thought they had the only scorer on the grounds, but they have another think coming for we had a scorer also As everybody knows, they got sore after their defeat. We have gone to Willimantic several times, and have won and lost. but we never got sore heads over our defeat. like the Emer-' aids.

Genius.

Be grateful to live i'll an era like this
When wonderful matters eventuate
And genius is thrilling our souls with a
bliss
That nothing could further accentuate
We ride for an hour and in that time we
view
Vast stretches of all sorts of scenery
We talk across seas and o'ev continents
too
And we're doing it all by machinery.
No more do we greet with glad plaudits
the brain
Whose fancies are ardently lyrical.
The public, tits plain, sees nothing to gain
From sentiments sad or satirical.
But hasten the pace in some newfash-
Toned way
Till the speed becomes almost satanical
And the world will arise with Joyous
"hooray!'
All genius must now be mechanical.
