.Veir Jorncy Central AT rilH Scoiie for
All Kliuln of Tri < lhi .
NRW YOftIC , April 5. The traders In stocks
made a plaything of New Jersey Central stock
today nnd worked their will with It. So Invlt
Ing a subject for ppeculatlon was it that It ab
sorbed a , largo share of attention In a very nar
row market , Its wide nnd erratic lluctuatlons
making It specially available for the purpose
of the traders. Tliero seemed to be an cxtraor
< llnary degree of doubt nnd lack of reliable In
formation ns to the exact Intentions of the dl-
lectors at the meeting today regarding the divi
dend. That the rate was to be reduced was
tuken for granted , and stories hud even found
crcdenco of lalo that It was to be pasred. The
opening decline In the stock today seemed lo be
buxed on a belief that the dividend would be
reduced to a 3 per cent basis. The price sold
off 2T4 per cent to 76U on this. When It WHS
Announced that a quarterly dividend of 1 per
cent had been deelaicd a rally of 4V4 per cent
tu M > % ensued , but this was followed by n re
action of 3 % per cent to 77i , duo In pait to
disappointment nt the absence of a statement
of the company'sllnunclal condition und tn fi-am
n H to the earnings having been up to the old
dividend rate decided on. Delaware & Hudnon
wail octlxely In sympathy with New Jersey Cen
tral , fulllmr VA per cent after an Initial gain of
a fraction , nillyiiiK to 103i ? , the best of the
day. ami reacting ti > 1021J. Lackuwannu was
dealt In ex-dlvldend of I'i per cent and moved
In sympathy with the other coalers , but In a
narrower range , The absorption of tlin profes
sional clement III thu coalers left the market
decidedly dull and the trniu-actlons small. There
wan , however , u largo number of odd lota of
elmri'a traded In , supposed to be for outside ac
count , and to Indicate the attractiveness to tm !
outside public of the piceent low level uf prices ,
Tlieru was some slliiht stiffening of prices about
midday on covering of Khoits and In sympuihy
with the Khort-llvcd upward movement in the
i-oalers. leather preferred showed the exticmu
KM In of Hi , per cent , but thiT Vanderbllts profited
lo the extent of n sharp fraction. I uer the
market succumbed to it number or advene In-
llucnces , orhut were Interdicted us such by
Iho dealers. The principal of tiieo waa the
news that the supreme court had itfuned to ml-
ranee the appeal of the Joint .Tralllc uxioclatlou
lo a hearing ut Iliu pri'trnt term of thu court [
und had het the second Monday In October as
lie date of hearing , The ie umptlun of the
L'uban question as a subject of ilehutu In the
benato worked on the fears of dealira to some
xlent Disappointment was felt that thu prices !
it Americans In Ixjndon did not respond more

CATTLE Receipts of cattle were very
light for n Monday , only forty-live loads
being reported In tne yards.
The market on desirable beeves was
steady to n little stronger , the moderate
offerings and fair- demand enabling sellers
to get very good prices for their holdings.
The most of the fat cattle here were such
as are selling at J4.20fM.43.
Cows and heifers sold at just about
steady prices and "the demand was milll-
clcntly active to effect an early clearance.
Stackers and feeders also. sold at about
Saturday's prices. A string of seven loads
of westerns brought $1. Representative

CHICAGO , April 5. The cattle market opened
with an active general demand , nnd prices were
stronger to lOo higher for catllo of the better
class and steady for others. Bales were at from
J3.75 to J4.25 for common dressed beef stccis up
to from J5 to J5.40 for choice to prime cattle ,
with the bulk of the tales at from J4.30 to J5 ,
exporters buying freely at JI.CO and upward.
The stocker nnd feeder traoc was fairly active ,
but prices were easy except for the best , about
1,000 head having remained over from last week.
Canning cattle were no higher , but fat cows nnd
heifers sold In a satisfactory way. Hulls nnd
calves were unchanged , the latter telling ut last
week's sharp decline.
There waa the usual fair shipping demand for
hogs and Chicago packers took hold very well ,
although they were evidently disposed to "bear"
the market at llrst. The Kniallncss of the sup
ply prevented n decline , however , nnd common
to choice hogs sold at from J3.75 to JI.15 , the
bulk crossing the fccales nt from J4.05 to J4.10.
There wna a lively demand for sheep , and
prices averaged from lOc to 15c per 100 pounds
higher , common to choice- sheep celllni ; ut from
J3.25 to J5.40 , with westerns Felling largely at
from 11.25 to J5 , whlla Iambs brought from
J3.0 to J5.50 for poor to choice Hocks.

The election booths will open at 9 o'clock
this morning and remain open until 7 o'clock
this evening. Yesterday City Cleric Carpen
ter swore In the judges and clerics anil all
arrangements are now complete for the
counting of the ballots. Many of the Judges
and clerks have served before in a lilco ca
pacity and It Is expected that the count will
bo completed early. Votes for councilman
will , It Is understood , he counted first , then
the Board of Education tickets , and the
votes on the bond proposition last.
Candidates were kept on the jump yester
day and last night , a number of meetings
being held In different parts of the city dur
ing the afternoon and evening.
Major J. W. Cress of this city , yesterday ,
sent the following- letter to The Bee :
I wish to say that the statement printed
hi the World-Herald of Sunday Is a misstatement -
statement of the truth. Jack Walters docs
not carry the old soldiers vote In his vest
pocket by a long sight. He with others
have been known to say many things
about the old soldiers that are not true.
Old soldiers know who their friends arc.
There nro over forty old soldier votes In
the First ward and A. II. Kelly will get
thirty-live or thirty-six of that number at
the election Tuesday. The balance will go
to J. C. Graham. I know what I ami talkIng -
Ing about when I say this. As for A. It.
Kelly being opposed to me for nssassor
last fall , that Is a mistake. A. n. Kelly
has always been ono of my warmest friends
and I am for Kelly , llrst , last and all the
time.
A number of prominent democrats got to-
Bether yesterday afternoon and sharpened up
their knives preparatory to going to work
slaughtering Walters. For some reason
Walters docs not scorn to bo as popular
among his own people as ho pretends to bo.
Judge Den S. Adams , ono of the most promi
nent democrats In the city , has this to say
of Jack Walters and his candidacy ;
To commence with I should llko to ask a
few questions about Walters. First , Is he
u democrat ? Second , Is ho a democratic
candidate ? Third , Is ho u taxpayer ?
Fourth , Is ho Interested In the general wel
fare of the First ward ? Fifth , If he Is
elected who will ho represent ? In nnswpr
to the llrst question I will say that any
voter who took an active Interest In the
Tom Majors campaign procession when
that gentleman wns making a race for the
olllco of governor against our present In
cumbent , Governor Holcomb , cannot call
himself a democrat. If he persists In so
doing I might consistently deny the state
ment nnd call him a democrat for revenue
only. To the second question I answer
"No ! " Ho Is n candidate by petition only ,
the democrats having refused to nominate
him. Going on to the ) next question I will
my that I have been Informed that Walters
Is not a property owner here , neither Is he
i taxpayer. He has not , to my knowledge ,
i single dollar Invested In the city. If
the foregoing statements nre correct 1 can
not see how Walters can bo Interested In
Iho general welfare of the First ward , or
for that matter any other ward In the city.
If elected the only constituent ho will
mve , In my opinion , will bo the corporation
in whose employ ho now Is. So far as the
First ward Is concerned this year thfro Is
10 political Issue at stake. The democrats
will not have Waltcre for the reasons I
mve given. Kelly Is an old resident , a
Irst-class business man. HeIs not an (
illlce seeker. Ho Is n property owner , liav-
ng built several of thu finest residences In
ho First ward. If elected he will repre-
lent the Interests of all citizens In the city
quncll , lie Is broad , clean and capabale.
hope the democrats will do their duty
it the polls and retire Jack to private life. . ,
J. H , Krlon is another old soldier who
exceptions to statements which ap-
leared In an up-town paper to the effect
bat Kelly had protested against his ap-
( ointment to a political olllco. Mr. Krlon
isserts that his relations with Mr. Kelly
lave always been of the pleasantest , nnd
hat Kelly will receive his hearty support
t Hie polls.
Darrett , the republican nominee In the
iccond ward , has made a careful canvass
f the ward and U nails/led / that ho will
o the beat man at the finish Tuesday night ,
Tralnor. the Third ward republican , Is
ssurcd of BUiliclent support to elect him , as
s uluo Sam Mort In thd Fourth ward.

you get ALL or only HALF of it. There is also a differ

nine to fourteen columns fresh matter that did not appear
in its morning edition of the same day.
