Professional Traders Furnished the
Bulk of the Business, the
Public Being Out.
New York fractions, Mexican Pc
troleum and Shipping Shares Weak.
Steels Comparatively Firm.

| NEW YORK. April 24.-The market
| acted dull and embarrassing during the
greater part of the morning hours and
we'll into the afternoon. The public is
doing nothing; the average room trader
is watching the boards and the ticker,
| leaving the market almost entirely to
the professional operator, whose scalp
ing operations on the exchange make
the quotations.
Many stocks showed on the ticker
! close to the closing prices of yesterday
and remained there, with occasional
sales.
1t was largely market for special
ties. and not confined to any particular
group, with the shipping shares rather
weak. Bethlehem Steel strong on the
good earnings. Ohio Gas firm and high
er on running in of shorts, Union Bag
and Paper 3 points better and Mexican
Petroleum off az points.
Industrial Alcohol was the only mu-
milton shares to show especial strength,
early gain of ga being partially
lost in later recessions.
The Pacifics were the only rails that
displayed especial strength. others be-
ing held steadily, but with no marked
Improvement.
Further Signs of Weakness.
AS the session progressed. nearly
through the second hour of the after
noon. the market showed further signs
of weakness. but still confined largely
to specific stocks and here and there
a group.
New York traction shares featured
the noon hour, and later. with declines
of 5 to ) points. Interurban preferred
being especially soft.
Shipping shares also sagged for l to
Is net losses.
Motor stocks eased off / to points,
while the rails continued slow and
steady.
The steels held their own fairly well.
Closing Is Lower.
In the last hour, further recessions
were scored here and there throughout
the list, the rails joining in with the
weakness shown elsewhere. Sales for
four hours were but $4,000 shares.
Reading broke to 93A, Canadian
Pacific to 1891 and Union Pacific to 1856.
Steel dropped about IS of p point.
while the Industrial group averaged
about y to y below the earlier prices.
The last half hour of the session
was marked by extreme neglect of the
list.

H MISSION OF ART.

Balzac: The mission OF art is not to
copy nature. but to give expression to
1t! You are not a base copyist, but a
poet! Otherwise. a sculptor would end
all his labors i'll merely molding wom-
an. But try to mold your mistress
hand and place it before YOU: YOU
will find a, horrible lead thing with
out any resemblance. and YOU will be
compelled to have recourse to the
chisel of the man who, without .
ing 1t for you exactly. will instill
movement and life into it. We have
to grasp the spirit, the soul, the fea-
lures Of things and beings. Effects. Ef-
fects! Why. they are the accidents Of
life. and not life itself. A hand-as I
have taken the example, hand is
not simply a part of the body. it ex-
presses and continues a thought
which we must grasp and render.
Neither the poet nor the author nor
the sculptor should separate cause
and effect, which are inextricably
bound up in each other. There is the
real struggle! Many painters triumph
instinctively. knowing nothing of this
canon Of art.

Miss Rankin stood almost alone.
when she sobbingly declared her in
ability to vote for war-her first vote

by n woman in congress. Yet she
wired to protesting constituents in
Montana her fear that she would stand

On the first test vote there were

only 9S who stood out against him.
