RISE IN PRICES ANTICIPATED AT ONCE -nr ISOtl I'rrillotcil nti nn Km of S n.v fur ( lie llulln unit n Citlilun Oplinrliinlly for Cnu- tloii-t lluyerM , NKW YOHIC. April 2. ( Special. ) Henry ' ' ! "W8. head of the hanking liotmo of Henry ' : s ft Co. , writes of the situation on \ \ illl street as follows : NPPI ulatlon developed aomo now features. \ \ lule ihu Industrials seem to have lest noneof their attractiveness to the moie nd- venturous operators and hnvo proved nn.ncvmakers to the majority thus far , at tention IUIH aKaIn been diverted to the bel- ici i Insu of railroad shares. This Is a gooil vnipium. The KrutiKcra have hecn ad- \mred on talk of refunding plans that would ific\ltiihly onhnncc the value of their shares : Hie roalerw rose on the practical assurance of harmonious working without the objec tionable mot hods of consolidation , and the Vattdcrbllt properties worn stimulated by rumors of consolidation with transconti nental lines , which , having lllllo founda- iii'ii , serve as a JH-B on which to inanlpttlatQ v.ilius. The cllquo leaders supported their RperlaltloH most vallantlv. Their followers have made linnd-onio Rulim. .lust how far l ho present masterly Intiuences will carry live market cannot he safely predicted , but the speculative spirit is thoroughly aroused mul Is not likely to be Batlslled by ordinary Rniu or effectually checked by ordinary uot- bai ks. Mnsy money and the dldlculty of finding profitable employment for funds will be a , powerful bull factor In the stock market nricr the crop money returns. As the better cl.is.i of securities rise to a .114. 4 and IV4 per rout basis the next best shares and bonds , many of which have been strength ened In position by business Improvement , bin neglected , will come Into activity. The trade combination mania Is HUelv to con tribute to the case of moncv for the reason that many of them are carrying such largo balances and making good profits that they nri > not borrowers and not likely to be until tlir-sc funds are distributed as dividends , When money settles down to permanently h.ghpr rates then wo ranv look for a de- c'lnlnp stock market , but that contingency In not yet In sight. ( iiioil Ciiiiilltloii of Money. The close of March usually witnesses con siderable manipulation of the money rates. owing to April settlements. This year there has been less than usual and the money market would In all probability have experi enced no disturbance had It not been for the financing of Central Pacific and n number of Important Industrial deals which temporarily took out Important sums. Foreign exchange has been linn and some disposition was shown to anticipate the Philippine payment to Spain , though , as a matter of fact , this Is likely to bavo very little effect here as Hie transaction will bo conducted with as llt- lle derangement as possible. Spring usually witnesses a rising market. Something gets Into the blood and temper of men which loads them to new ventures nnd Ills of optimism. Trade becomes more active , tralllc expands and hopeful expecta tions usually predominate. This year such Ideas are , If anything , more prevalent than iibiml. In April many Influential absentee tee- . returned from the south Invigorated by a period of recuperation , and this Is not a small factor. The most substantial founda tion. however , for a bull market Is the con tinuance of large railroad earnings. It must be remembered that gains now compare with large figures of a year ago , so that present results arc the more satisfactory. Net earn ings cannot bo expected to show correspond ing gains , many of the roads being obliged to meet largo outlays for new eaulpment , etc. , which later on will benefit sharehold ers. I'rlc'CM Approach. As to the future of the market we expect advancing prices within the next sixty days. Violent fluctuations will probably occur wip ing out small margins , for the Inducements to realize profits constantly Increase nnd blocks are much less concentrated than fix months ago. The first advance was naturally much more substantial In character than those which follow. The public Is now in the market and. having made money. Is In lee strong a position to be bullied out of Its holdings by any ordinary attack. This state 'il ' alfalrs , of course , cannot last indefinitely. speculation will Inevitably be carried to cx- "css and severe reaction follow , but nothing of tills sort Is at present in sight. Those who buy cautiously at favorable opportuni ties backed by strong margins will be on the winning side. The year 1809 will stir- pass 18ns as a bull year , but squalls arc mii'-h more likely to bo experienced now than then anil small craft must be well bal lasted and kept out of dangerous waters. Stocks that are. not actually rapid transit properties have tried to bo rapid transit In ihelr advance movement during the week so as to keep pace with the rapid transit leaders. This especially applies to Northwest and New York Central. Their recent ad- vnnre was certainly u rapid transit one. The end of the mouev scare has now about been reached. Whatever has been required for the April settlement has been taken from the New York banks. Much of the nmuunti lost thereby has been made up by the funds from neighboring cities to be loaned out In Wall street on time. While the New York banks may not accumulate funds In the next ten days they arc not likely Jo be drawn upi'ii for any more from the out of town points. After the middle of the month the crnp moving money will commence to come back very rapidly , BO that money will become plethoric for the entire summer mid speculation will he materially encour aged thereby. I look to see a very active stock murket from this time onward nnd some stocks are liable to reach prices that may look ridiculously high , based not BO much upon their dividend qualities as upon their equity valuation.

The heavy northwest receipts ami comparative weuknu's of the New York market were the chief factors on the bc.ir H'.de ' of the market. The New York weak ness WHK Interpreted as a reflection of me lienrNh feeling abroad. The market was subject to many changix durltii ; tli scss.on , accoidlng UH lh crop damage or present abundance predominated In the minds of speculators.

Som ° cattle carried over from yesterday sold steady , and In other cases sellers thought the prices oltcred were weak. For that reason home of th > cattle did not sell until lute. The cattle market this week has averaged very fair. For the week the most desira ble handy weight cattle , that Is the liirtit and medium welghti ? , which ar- ; most sought afte.r by buy .rs. are n little stronger.

Cows and belfors have been good seJlers all the week and tha mar ket la now us high as It has been any time this year. Fat bulls have been low and on fomo days a little slow , but well bred stock bulls have been active and good seller * at firm prices all the week. Calves have sold at good steady prievs. Stock cattle have been in very moderate supply and the mar ket active at strong prices. Il'OGS Today's hoc market wa 'HfiSc higher than yesterday , but it was not overly active at thf < udvanue owing to tbc fact that sellers were holding for pretty firm nrlces.

The week opened with the market a shade higher , and on TuesJuv It advanced sharply , that being the high point of the month.

Setmtor Cullotn of Illinois relates that one day near the- close of a campaign during which the Tribune had conducted contlnuotu hcHtllltlea toward him , ho was In Chicago , and , meeting n Tribune man. Inquired how his oU friend Mpdlll was. lloforc he knew what was going on the senalor found that smart young man had Informed Mr. Moillll he wanted to see him and thnt Mr. Medlll had telephoned Iww-k thnt ho w.is at Hie Trtbuno oillco. "Of counie. " mild tlio senator , "I went up there , nltinijh ! ; 1 had had no such Intention when the conversation started. As 1 went In Mr. Medlll greeted mo very cordially. He evidently wasn't entertaining anything per sonal agalnet me. So I asked : " 'Look licre ! iModlll ! Why In ( liunder have you 'been ' roaslltiB mo all throiiKh tliU campalRii ? " " 'Mwllll Htnlled and said : " ' 'Ctillom , sit down and lei no tell you a story. John A. Logan asked mn a quoit lot vnry much like that tit Uio close of a cam paign some years ago. Ho didn't like wha the Tribune had > bcpti naylng about him Om day 1 heard a knock at the door , liiili ] , "come In ! " The door opened and there wns John with hl eyes Hashing , his hair thrown back and a look on his face a little fiercer thiin ustinl. "Come In , " 1 wild iigaln "Do I como in n friend or foe ? " uald L-.gan " 1 paw , senator. You miiko It , " I said. Logan cnmo In , und eat down and wo had a pleasant visit. ' "Of course , " wild Senator Cullom. "I followed - lowed , null 'Wlion Medlll _ bad told hla storj on Logan. I found him very genial. H was cvldont at once ho hadn't anything against mo. " How great was Mr. Mcdlll's devotion to the Tribune may be Judged by a single In cident , related .by . the Times-Herald , that happened In Chicago a few years ago. As Is well known. Mr. Media's health has In terfered with his constant presence nt the Tribune ofllcc for several years. It was currently rumored Hint ho bad grown weary of the burden of his editorship nnd was prepared to sell his Interest , settle his affairs In Chicago and retire to the gentler climate of southern California. Negotiations were accordingly opened with Mr. McdIIl by a gentleman desirous of pur chasing his Interest In the Tribune. Mr. Medlll entertained the proposition to sell , but halted as to 'the ' price , upon which a matter of some $250,000 separated the par ties. Finally Ihey came to terms on figures not far from a round $2,000,000 for Mr. Mcdlll's controlling Interest in the Tribune. Everything was in readiness to close the transaction and 'the ' cheque to bind It was In Mr. Mcdlll's hands. But the touch of the cheque seemed to cause an Instant revulsion 'In the aged editor's feelings. He seemed to realize that the Tribune was something more to him than the cold dollars he had set upon It. "I can't do It. " ho said. "Take back your cheque. I can't part with the Tribune. You might as well ask me to sell my child. " So the negotiations were broken off and Mr. 'Medill ' continued tq be the guiding spirit of the Chicago Tribune until his death. When Harrison was first nominated for president the convention was bold In Chi cago. Gresham was a strong candidate for the nomination. There wns a general under standing after Mr. .Medill had secured Chicago cage as the place In which the convention should bo held that It should be considered as neutral ground and that the Chicago dallies should not make editorial comment on the doings of the convention and the various candidates until after the nomina tion. Nevertheless day after day Mr. Medlll bad an editorial favoring Harrison and smashing the other candidates. Finally Congressman Herr of Michigan , a strong Gresham man , accompanied by a delegation of protestants , called at Mr. Mcdlll's olllce to urge him to desist. After they had en tered and Mr. Herr had began to protest Mr. Medlll laid down bis ear trumpet. Mr. Herr talked earnestly for thirty minutes , using every argument possible to change the policy of Mr. McdIIl In this matter. When ho had finished Mr. Medlll picked up his ear trumpet nnd asked : "Old you say something , Mr. Herr ? " The delegation fled at this receotlon , and Mr. McdIIl continued to do with the Tribune as he pleased , a privilege which ho main tained to the last. When the llrst ballot wan being held in Uho convention which nominated Lincoln for the presidency Mr. iMcdlll was sitting with the Ohio delegation. The tide of the con vention was running with Seward , Howard's nomination seemed most prcibablo. The second end ballot was ordered. As the vote began Mr. .Medlll whispered to Delegate Carter or Ohio : "Now Is your time. If you can throw the Ohio vote to Lincoln , Chiieso of Ohio can have anything ho wants. " "H-how d-d1 you know ? " stuttered Carter. "I know , " said Mr. .Medlll , "and you know I 'wouldn't ' promise If I didn't know. " Carter.got up and announced eighteen or nineteen votes for Lincoln , and from that moment his nomination was a certainty. At the last meeting of Lincoln and Medlll , while Sherman was on hln way to the fea , Mr , Medlll asked the president just where Sherman was. Lincoln replied ; "Tho last time 1 heard from Sherman ho had Ills artillery ihero and hla infantry here , " pointing wltb his lingers to Indicate , "and his horses hero and expecting to'bring them nil together. Now , when he does but that reminds me of the IIOMO dealer In Kentucky who got baptized In the rlvor. Ho asked to bo immonsed the ue-cond time. The' ' preacher demurred , but tlho jockey prevailed. When ho coma up from the second ducking ho gasped : "There , now , the dovll may go to hell. " Ill Woodbury , J on Snow , Tom Sullivan and other old time printers , relate with grout gusto the circumstance that while illr. 'Meiilll ' was apparently deaf at all time 'for a niimbor of yearn ho yet nlwoyn .heard things Bald which those about ( him might not have wished to reach his oars. Ileforo the time of tlio typecasting machines disputes with the prlntcm in the Tribune odlco were fro- riuent , as they -ive.ro In all olllce . These dls- pu'os did not appear to affect iMr. Medlll very much , tout hl brother Sam was much opposed to them thought that a little cliango In the policy of the management might prevent them , and did not hcKltato to nay so. Ono night the printers were particularly angry at porno requirement of the paper , nnd Sam Medlll volunteered to take n delegation of them to Mr. Medlirs oillco und talk It over with him. AH the delegation entered the sanctum , Sam leading , the latter turned to the men behind him , and , tuippoalng tils brother could nut hear , said : "I'll do the talking to the blanket ? blanluvty iblank blank. " Quick as a Hush Mr. Medlll whirled in lite chair and wald : "U'hiU'a that , Sam ? What's that , what's that ? " Very much startled , Sam nald : "I waj Just Haying to the gentlemen that If they would ipermlt mo to Intelligently ex plain the situation to you I believed an amicable and satisfactory understanding could bo roochod.

" O1I VISIl TWIST IX ly.rd Solinnl for Training Clill- ( Irrii How lo lleur mul Steal. A recent traveler in Japan tells of a peculiar Itlnd of school carried on In the capital city at those Islands which It Is to bo hoped has not its duplicate In many countries. This Is no other than a kind cf academy where little children who have been deserted 'by ' their parents or who are friendless orphans are taught bcggliiK and thieving by ehlefn In these professions. Under 5 years of ace the little waifs are ron'ted out at from 2 to 5 cents u day to veteran mendicants for the sake of helping to Inspire pity ; the weak or unfortunate are , therefore , specially desirable. Krom 5 years upward the children do their begging by themselves. At the age of 14 or 15 , under the pretext of gathering waste paper and other rubbish , they prowl around the courtyards of the houses nnd commence to steal. Their " uul weapon Is a long stick , the end of which is steeped In glue , and wtlh which they nro very ail roll In re moving trllles from open windows , etc. At 16 they are taught the nrt of picking pockets with skill and dispatch nnd from the rank of beggars rise to the rank of thloves. Dally lessons are given to the young thieves by the chiefs of each band and tha apprenticeship lasts as long as from 1U years of age to 19. The whole thing has been reduced to a regular system ; pocket- plcklng and burglary are carefully taught in ( ivory detail , specialists having been known to go to the large European capitals to study different methods of abstracting a purse. Knrli a one sometimes has as many as 100 shrewd pupils at a time under hu tutelage. The whole thieves' colony IB regulated by a code of laws und these are administered with the utmost severity. The youngest thloves keep 10 per cent of their earnings , the better class of pickpockets 10 per cent and some 50 per cent or oven CO per cent. The surplus of the prollts Is Invested In the teaching of pupils and employed as the chiefs of the community deem necessary for the general wnll-bolng. The thieves are great adepts In disguise and It Is very dllllcult Xor the police to catch them rcil- laiulcd. i OUT OK Till' } OIIIII.VAIIV. Connecticut has twelve co-operative gro ceries.
