lative paradox.
The usual explanation of bear real

parity true In this case, the outstand-
ing snort interest having resulted
from other considerations than the
fear of Mr.. Morgan's death. This

Slstance manifested the week before

was of such imposing effect as 10
trans-figure the whole complexion
Of the speculative position. The pass
ing of April l. without financial dis
aster at Berlin brought immense re-
lief. At the same time the near ap-
proach Of the extra session Of Con-
gress was accompanied by a suppose
ton that moderation would prevail in
shaping tariff revision. The dominant
hopefulness Of sentiment was not up
set by ~unfaNOrable factors yet To be
overcome. Final outcome Of the
Union-Paci6c dissolution was left du-
bious. The food waters in the Ohio
Valley carried loss and destruction
into new areas. Enactment OF full
crew" laws in New York and New
Jersey elected remonstrances from
the railroads. February earnings re-
ported by the great railroad systems
showed inroads made on profits by
mounting costs for upkeep n oper'

DRY O MARKET.

New York, April 5.-Buyers of cot

eessions and for that reason they have
been operating in a hand-to-meuth
way. This is particularly true Of the

houses. The delay in the delivery Of
many goods is still a factor in the sit
