vorable for another one. We look
for more snow.
Last Tuesday w. B. Miller was
called to Vernon county, west of Metz,

supper in the old store building at

Clover thinks that some of the ones
interested in the supper were real sell
fish. We learn that there was one
very good looking woman and rea-
sonably young, who wanted to attend
real bad, and some who were inter-
ested, and who were under special

The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET,
Features of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, March 9--The semblances at
times today of great strength and an an
imation in the stock market is not borne
out by any size of the movement which
resulted in net declines for the day Spec
ulative sentiment, nevertheless, was
cheerful and confidence in values was
the purpose of the supporters. That con-
certed support was responsible for the
movement of prices was the impression
given by the action of the market
Operations centered markedly in n few
stocks of which Union Pacific, New York
Central and United States Steel were the
conspicuous examples.
The raising of the dividend rate on New
York Central to per cent was in ac-
cordance with expectations. That large
selling to realize was pushed under cover
of the sustaining force of these advances
was also plainly true, as proved by the
uneven and tagging response of the gen.
eral list to the advancing tendency and
the later material reaction The wider
advance in Union Pacific was a direct
outgrowth of the New York Central diyi-
dend action.
A sharp fall in foreign exchange rates
was an incident of the dav that is i'm
portant, in view of the expanding de-
mands on the New York money market.
In the stock market. London was a large
seller here again in spite of subscrip-
lions to bond issues. The opening decline
in prices was caused by that selling, The
coppers and United States Steel were not
ably affected. IT was from that depressed

the comparative merits of these craft.
In regard To the handling of the con-

Germans and i'm the case Of the Hev-
