Berlin, April The walls OF Jericho
have been excavated under the direc-
ton of Professor Sellins, who has sent
home to the German Oriental society
particulars of his important discover
les. He says that he brought to light
the ruins of the Notifications of the
pre-Israelitish city, consisting of an
inner and outer wall. This inn wall
was double and appeared to have been
strengthened at intervals with towers.
The remains of dwellings of three diff
ferent periods were discovered, and
underneath them all were quantities of
flint implements probably dating back
to 1000 years before Christ. Some dis
lance from the city were traces OF
Jewish settlements belonging to about
500 B. C. Many ancient relics were
found here. and lower down the foun-
dation of palace of extremely an.
cient date was discovered.

New York, April 2.-The month of
April opened with the stock market
hesitating and depressed. Prices I'M
derwent further reaction, and had it
not been that stocks were generally in
strong hands the decline might have
been still more marked. Nevertheless
the big holders had somewhat light
ened their burdens and were indispos-
ed to re-enter the market as buyers un,
til concessions of Importance could be
obtained. 1t must be admitted that
current developments were temporarily
Of an unfavorable nature. The adj
vancing tendency in money was ad-
verse to stocks. In London the strin-
gency was particularly noticeable, the
situation there being aggravated by the
British budget difficulties. The quar-
terly and fortnightly settlements in
London occurred this week: added to
which the government was obliged to
meet unusual financial obligations.
This imposed a severe monetary strain
upon London, the high rates for mon
ey there necessitating gold exports
from New York. This movement
would have begun some time ago had
ii not been seen that our adverse trade
balance had been partly offset by lib
eral European takings of our invest
ments estimated OF about $500, 600 900.
The foreign demand for our securities.
however, has suddenly subsidized: and
the adverse trade balance it is feared
will continue until the new crops are
available. Considerable quantities of
grain and provisions are still held
back and these may exported later on,
thus partially relieving the export sit
uation. Another depressing factor
has been sudden rush to market new
securities in unexpectedly large vol
ume. The railroads continue in need OF
immense sums to keep facilities equal
to demands. and desire to take adj
vantage of the first opportunity the
market afforded has been accelerated
by fear of federal restrictions upon the
issue Of new securities. The flotations

many other important amounts are
