New York stock Market.

New York, March 20.-The stock
market opened strong today, the prices
of nearly all the important issues rang
ing fractionally higher. The initial
gains we're not we'll held, however.
After the first few minutes the mar
ket assumed the waiting characteristics
that have often prevailed on decision
DAYS of the United States Supreme
Court. The room was full Of talk
about the probability Of the Standard
Oil decision being banded down. The
general tone, however, throughout the
first hour was moderately strong.
Although there was more pronoun-
ced disposition in the market to TIit
for Supreme Court news that tone held
fairly strong and price changes were
generally in the shape of fractional up
turns from the quotations ranging at
the end Of the first hour.
As soon as tie announcements was
made that no important decisions
would be LANDED down by the Supreme
Court the tone became one of pronoun-
ced strength and prices OF the leading
issues were carried up about point in
a few minutes.

A Gloomy Forecast.

New York, March 20. The days
of the idle rich are as tale that IS
told. Tomorrow this land will be one
OF two things" says Millionaire Frede-
rick Townsend Martin in magazine
article evolution or revolution. Either
the class which / represent will be
merged into the body OF the nation, or
we shall stand face to face with the
forces Of anarchy, socialism, trades
unionism and a hundred other cults
that either do represent or claim to
represent the spirit OF this mighty
people. cannot see how the business
world Of America can loug escape a
reckoning that has for years been
overdue.
The first result of the growing con-
sciousness on the part Of the rich OF the
unrest throughout the country, IS
sudden increasing interest in charity
and reform.
In the last days Of Rome, the pluto
Gratis stilled fren5ied mobs by bringing
shiploads OF corn from Egypt and dis.
tributing il free. Then, while the mob
ate. the plutocrats sought out the mob
leaders and killed them.
But the rich in America forget
that when they try this process here
plrbs Of America are not slaves aud
that their leaders, Of whom there are
host, are pretty nearly as we'll educat-
ed, are certainly as .shrewd and are
probably as strong legally as the rich.
''[n Rome the masses we're race OF
parasites. In America, on the con-
trary, the masses are the producing
clements OF the nation and the rich are
parasites. !"

rest OF the burned area at coney ISL
ana. to-day communicated with his
associates. Comptroller Prendergast and
borough President Steers OF Brooklyn,
ana arranged for an early meeting of
the committee.
Mr.. Mitchell says the question IA one
that ought to be gone into ~thoroushly
and as speedily as possible, while the
opportunity to take advantage OF the
recent Coney Island fire is at hand.
The select committee will conduct q
broad inquiry into the subject OF the
city's acquisition OF more beach prop
erty. Not only will it look Into the
clty's title to various ocean front strips.
but negotiations will be opened with the
dozen or so property wners between
Fifth street n Tenth street whose
holdings adjoln the present Seaside
Park. where the city already has q
considerable investment in a public
~bathhouse with an insufficient beach for
bathing purposes.
Any attempt to divert the use Of public
funds 10 the purchase Of remote
stretches Of sand. which cannot -
reached by Q modest c~arfare. will be
opposed b. the friends Of the poor peo-
pie Of Manhattan. The committee feels
1t would b. foolish to provide . seaside

should put municipal ferries from Ca
naisie or Sheepshead to Rockaway and
make the fare cheap all the way from
M anhattan this would help Rochsway."
No ferries with their attending dan
gers to women n children are needed
to reach Coney Island. Incidentally,
the resolution passed by the Board OF
Aldermen, which directed the Board OF
Estimate TO proceed to acquire the
burned area at Coney Island for park
purposes. says nothing whatever about
buying beach property at Neponsit or
any other distant piece of sand. II
had specific reference to Coney Island.
NO CHARGE FOR LEASES, SAYS
REYNOLDS.
Former State Senator william II.
Reynolds, the head Of Dreamlsnd Park,
said; II told Mr.. Prendergast the other
day that the Dreamland Pier could be
repaired at comparatively small cost,
and. that 1t would afford a fine landing
place. The slide of the shoot-the-chutes
cost VI 10000 and the tank cost $40. 900.
The chute can be fixed. and the tank,
which Is OF concrete. is In fine shape
now and would make a splendid SWIM
ming pool. Tho temporary buildings On
the Dreamland site have only one years
lease, 10 the city would not have 10 ma y
for any leases"
And should the Coney Island pronertv
owners want too high a price for tbeIr
beach front the city, as has been pointe,
out In The Evening World, can sten An
at any time and condemn IL for narh
purposes.
