Eggs are steady at unchanged quotations. Receipts of potatoes are light, but there' Is no lmproi ement In prices. Strawberries are Increasing In quantity, and the price Is weakening.

NEW YORK STOCK MAIIKET. Small Professional Traders Were the Principal Operators. NEW TORK. April 10. Business on the stock exchange today lapsed Into a condition of dullness and abandonment to operations of small professional traders. Much angry re crimination continues to be heard on all sides concerning the bear raid en the Iron and steel - . stocks. Not only In the stock market, but In the Iron trade as well, accusations of bad faith and double-dealing arc bandied about. All other authorities In the trade disagree with the views of Chairman Gates, of the American Steel & Wire Company, but the Iron Age says. In Its review of the subject: g "No sharp tumble In values is expected un less the development In the wire trade should produce such an effect.' It Is the reservation thus expressed that has so effectually upset the speculative world. Dealers in securities kept one eye on the Iron and steel stocks all day, and the erratic and Irregular movements In the group kept the whole market In a feverish and uncertain state. When pressure there was relaxed there was a disposition manifest to mark up prices elsewhere, but the burden of selling met on the advance gave a desire to realize on exten sive sales, and took the snap out of the mar- " ket. On the other hand, the majority of stocks offered decreased materially on a considerable decline, giving an undertono of firmness to prices. , Notable strength was shown at pno time by Baltimore & Ohio stocks, and. on the other hand. Southern Pacific suffered from decided weakness. The one movement had about as 'much effect on the general list as the other. The sharp advance In the metal stocks which FINANCIAL NEWS followed the declines after the opening was accompanied by a rise late In the day to the best prices. But when these stocks and Sugar gave way the whole list followed, and the closing was active and easy, considerably be low the best- Sugar, after selling up as high as 1UMI. closed at a net loss of 2 points. The news of the day was generally Ignored. It in cluded a number of strong statements of earn ings for the second week in April, especially by soft-coal carrying roads. Rumors of new combinations of railroad systems continue prevalent. The Chicago. In dianapolis & Louisville Is now said to be des tined for absorption by the Southern Rail way, and there are stories of the Vanderbllts buying of Wabash securities. The Southwest ern group of so-called Gould railroads are formed Into various combinations by the rumor mongers. The same amount of foreign proxies voted at the New York Central annual meet ing was regarded as significant of the recent foreign selling of high-priced securities, and explanatory of the upward movement of ex change, which continued ell today. Money continues easier, and a strong bank statement on Saturday Is considered assured. The bond market was active and irregular. Total sales. 1.705.000. United States 3s, rrg.

Iron and Steel Industry SatTerlnir From Overproduction. NEW YORK. April 10. Tho Iron Age today says: Those who have been working to secure lower prices for Iron and steel have been ably re inforced from an unexpected quarter during' the week. It Is quite unusual for men repre senting large-producing Interests to come out plainly and ray that the trade Is suffering from overproduction, and that heavy reduc tions In price are to be expected. Ordinarily such conditions are concealed as long as possi ble, and concessions are made secretly so ss not to alarm the trade generally. But we are CULLISON&CO. Stock, Grain and Provision BROKERS Direct Wres to New York Stock Exchange Chicago Board of Trade 214-215 Chamber of Commerce Portland, Oregon now being treated to an apparently frank ad mission of a serious congestion In Important branches of production, so serious as to "re quire heroic treatment. A round dozen wire nail factories and wire mills have been shut down to enable an ac cumulation of stock to be worked off. They were not all shut down at once, as erroneously reported, but during a period of a week or more. Representatives of other Important branches of the Iron and steel trades deny the right of wire manufacturers to speak for them, and claim that iron and steel prices gener ally have not been threatened with the danger of a collapse. Reductions have been made, but they have been brought about gradually and naturally, without disturbing the trade, and no sharp tumble in values Is expected, unless this development In the wire trade should pro duce such an effect. The week In other respects has brought fcrth Indications of Improving business. Large West ern consumers of foundry Iron have places heavy contracts for extended deliveries, among the buyers being some of the shrewdest mem bers of the trade. The movement thus be gun was reasonably expected to spread to other consuming Interests. Even in the East, where buyers have been least Inclined to an ticipate their wants, a disposition to purchase in greater quantities was being manifested. Orders for export have been larger. This buslnesa will probably be checked for a Uttlo time, as the new conditions here were promptly cabled abroad: but If It Is found In tlmo that prices have not been demoralized by what has happened It Is believed that the endurance of this trying experience will have quite a re assuring effect on both home and foreign trade. The roost Important event of the week In finished steel w'as the placing of a contract for approximately 80,000 tons of plates, shapes, etc, required for tho construction of the rapid transit tunnnel In New York City, which wa secured by the Carnegie Steel Company. The reduction In the West of $3 per ton on merchant steel bars, and bar Iron, announced as a proof of rapidly declining prices, was merely an open acknowledgment of what sev eral manufacturers have quietly been doing for some time.

While the mild Spring weather elevated the spirits of the speculators, the effect on the wheat market was different.

Whllo the speculative trade was light, the 'cash busl reus was excellent 250.000 bushels some of tt No. 1 Northern, and some No. 2 red. This business served to bring about a bulge, follow ing the opening, but It did not hold, and the close was barely steady. The cash sales, frS.000 bushels, were for direct export.

The Great Fraud Which Tnxll Worked on the Catholic Church. Popular Science Monthly. In the 17th year of her age. Miss Diana Vaughan Joined the Free Masons, enter ing the lodge ('triangle") of The Eleven Seven." at Louisville, and passing rap Idly through the different grades until the "Elect Palladlstlc Knighthood" was con ferred upon her, after she Jiad given sat isfactory proofs of her Luclferlan ortho doxy. One thing she refused to do name ly, to stab the host with a dagger since this act Implied a recognition of the sac ramental character of the Eucharist. She maintained that there would be no sense In piercing the consecrated -wafer unless It was believed to be the real body of Christ: but as she rejected the doctrine of transubstantlatlon as a childish super stition, she was unwilling to make a fool of herse'f by assaulting a piece of ordi nary bread with a show of wrath. She would not hesitate to commit sacrilege, but did object to being silly. This scruple, or rather this lively sense of the ridicu lous, rendered her unpopular with tha Free Masons, Inasmuch as It marred the performance of their most important nnd Impressive Satannlc ceremony, and thus gave her rival. Sophia Walder, an aid vantage, which she was quick to improve. We need not follow . the career of Sophia Walder, known to the Internals as Sophia Sapho. She Is said to have been born In Stras burg September 29, 1S33, as the supposltl tloua daughter of a Protestant parson.

Her real father, however, was the devil BItru. who declared her to be the predestined Rreat-Rrandmother ot antichrist. In 1S36. while In Jerusalem, she gave birth to 'a daughter, the grandmother of antichrist; this child was also or de moniac paternity. Owing to her uncom promising Luclferlanlsm. she was a favor lto of the Free. Masons, and excited the Jealousy of Diana Vaughan. who tells with zest of the practical Jokes played on her. Thus, at a banquet of the tree aiasons, somebody put a few drops of Lourdes wa ter In her glass of lemqnade, which caused terrtblo pain nnd threw her Into spasms, from which she finally found relief by I vomiting tire.

Donahue's. When dtd the Brehon laws assume their present shape! Do they come as they now exist from pagan times, or have they un dergone changes In Christian times? As theyexlst at present, they come from pa gan times, but modified In Christian times to suit the altered condition of the people. In tho reign of King Cormac. toward tho middle of the third century, the Brehon laws first assumed a definite shnpe. Up to that time they had been moro or less frag mentary. He established a college for tholr careful study. They remained with out change until well-nigh 200 years after ward, namely, up to the arrival of St. Patrick. When he had converted tho .whole Island to Christianity, when the Kings, the Chieftains and the whole na tion had become Christians, It Is but nat ural that the laws should bo purged of the unwholesomo leaven of pagan super stition. To effect this a great council was summoned to assemble at Tara In the year 433 A. D. This council consisted of three Kings, three Bishops and three Brehons. For nine years they worked unceasingly In expunging from the laws everything that savored of pagan superstition. Iney wiped out anything that was opposed to Christianity, and at length there issued forth as the result of their labors tho famous Seanchus Mor, which was anno tated and published more than 30 years ago. tho body of laws that served ns the baste of civil rule In the country for 1300 years.
