FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
STOCK MARKET STILL WAITING. Light Demand Filled on Rising Scale
 of Prices.

New York, March 22.-The stock market today persisted in its waiting attitude but instead of the marking time of yesterday there came almost a halt. The undertone was strong until the last hour and the demand, light as it was, was filled on a rising scale of prices. This is in consonance with the conviction of the habitual trader in advance when the sap begins to rise," tempered by consideration of possible complications in the money market on the first of the coming month.
 The fact of a scantiness of supplies of stocks offering for sale was an un- deniable fact today. which facilitated the efforts of the professionals to move prices upwards on the light accunnula- tions upon which they ventured, but the advances were lost in trying to realize profits. Foreign markets were about apathetic as that here and the causes of the dullness were pretty fairly common to them all. Besides the April first money settlements, a pause is in order preceding the coming holiday. A large element of the New York stock exchange members are seeking to induce the authorities to adjourn the exchange from Thursday evening over to the following Monday The intense dullness of the dealings found explanation largely in that fact
 Such news as came to hand was in terpreted in a sense favorable to values of securities. The average price of 101.28 realized for the New York city 1-4 per cent. bonds proved higher than was expected at the time the market closed yesterday. The new bonds were dealt in when issued" at prices above the list in the outside market yesterday and the other issues taken by foreigners was estimated by competent authorities amongst the in ternational bankers at as high as 26 per cent. of the total. This would mean a supply of foreign exchange to an amount of more than $12,500,000 an important contribution to the needs of the debit balance of New York. There that the bond sale was made on an in come basis of 4.155 per cent. compared with sales since February of 1908 on a basis of less than per cent. At that time, and in September 1907. in the throes of the panic conditions, New above per cent. for the only other times in modern financial history. The result of the sale, therefore, serves to confirm rather than to refute the com- parative disadvantage of present con- ditions for the enlistment of new cap- ital.
 The coppers were firm in expectation of the adoption of the Anaconda plan at tOmorrow's meeting. Reports that the Canadian tariff negotiation was working out favorably were helpful in sustaining prices It was when profit taking was attempted that t4ne thinness of the market was made plain.
 The tone of foreign exchange held firm, in spite of foreign subscriptions to the New York city bonds. Rates for time money were shaded.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value, S3,S44,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

TUcKEYs FIRST ELEVATOR RIDE.
Montviiie Runner Likes the Experience
 Stirs Up the Boston Store.

When Tom Tuckey, the Montville
 distance runner, was in this city one
 day last week, after he had made his 1.26 on the New London to Norwich road. he tasted one of the joys of be-
 ing famous. An admiring friend yanked him off to a picture gallery and had him took" That should have been excitement enough for the farmer boy, but there was a further incident which is simple enough for many people, but was going some for Tom. Along with the picture taking he got his first elevator ride when he entered the steel cage at the Boston Store and was shot studio.
 Incidentally Tom created quite a furore among the sa1esladies of the Boston Store when he passed through there clad in the light and airy cos tune which he uses for his turnpike jaunts. Tom baked a lot when it was explained that he was to run the gauntlet of so much feminine beauty, but the promise of the elevator ride got him. When it was all over, Tuck ey said he thought he'd like to do it again, while the salesladies declared he was just ''too sweet" They didn't see how anyone with Tuckey's greyhound build could be beaten over Is miles, and they were ready to botany amount of ribbons, side combs, gloves and can- dy that he would streak past Wicks and Hilton like a ghost in the mist. It's safe bet that they and their friends will be out at Sachem park on Saturday. This coming sporting event is expected to have as big a crowd of women patrons as men.
 Toms picture was taken just before he was starting to do a little training run from Norwich to the Raymond farm via the Gardner Lake road. As he never misses a chance to keep in conlition, he brought his running togs along the other day when he had to drive a yoke of steers from the Ray mond farm in Montville to the Cobb place at Norwich Town. Leaving the steers, he came down to the city, changed his clothes and started off on his training run. Part of the time dur ing the winter he did his running in felt boots with snow on the ground Monday he had another long cross country hike,l driving a bull from Moosup. to Montviile, making about 2s miles of foot work for the day.

At that time the sergeant was said to be headed for Boston in an attempt to beat Weston.
 After leaving this city the sergeant was next heard from in Danielson on Tuesday evening. where he had step- ped off a culvert. straining himself, so much that he gave up trying to go any farther. He said he was go- ing to return to rest up and would then make fresh start from Daniel son in day or two. The sergeant's moves appear to be about as uncertain as the next jump of the nimble flea

REVENGE FOR RYAN.
Chicago Middeweisht, Once Snubbed by Jeffries, Will Now Train John son.

Tommy Ryan, who taught Jeffries how to flint scientifically, has been engaged to train Jack Johnson for the big fight next July. This move by the by Jeffries, for the reason that the latter has been at swords point with Ryan for many years. Ryan went down to Allenhurst, N. J.. when Jeff was training for the first fight with the Cornishman in 1899 and instruct ed the Californian in the art of self defense
 Ryan practically cut Jeff to pieces but that was the only way to teach the boilermaker how to fight. Several years later Ryan and Jeffries had disagreement of a serious nature over money matters and indulged in much personal abuse.
 Then they stopped speaking to each other and have been bitter enemies ever since Ryan expressed a will ingness several months ago to patch up the quarrel and assist Jeffries in his training for the Johnson mill but he was coldly turned down, together with Billy Delaney, who with Ryan re- ceived credit for developing the Cali fornian into a champion of the world.
 In accepting an offer from Johnson Ryan seeks revenge. It is a business proposition with him and he evidently cares nothing for the criticism which will be levelled in his direction for taking up with the colored man. John son says Ryan knows more than any body about Jeff's style of fighting, and he thinks the former middleweight champions advice will be of inestima- ble value.
 Ryan has expressed the opinion that in a long fight Jeffries cannot stand the wear and tear because of his protracted absence from the ring, and it is believed he will instruct Johnson as to the best way to pro- long the battle. It is a foregone con- clusion, that Jeffries, when he sees Ryan in the negro's corner, will show eagerness to end the fight as quickly as possible.
