New York Stock Market New York. March 27.?In the ab? sence of fresh Impetus from any quar? ter to-day to operations In the stock market, traders resigned themselves 10 a continuation of the period of in? activity, and did little. Increasing slowness in most lines of trade Is finding Its accurate redaction In the strei t, which has overtaken the | securities market. The parallel be tween the present condition and tins dullness which preceded the rendition i.f tiie Northern Securities decision Is more striking daily, although the Und? ings In the antitrust oases seem to be awaited with less perturbation than was the case in the previous instance Although any day may bring its re? vival of speculative activity, the weight of opinion is toward the view that the larger operators is to allow the market to drag along until some? thing occurs, in the nature of court decisions or otherwise, to afford an obvious and compelling motive for ac? tion. The t?ne of rho market was lirm throughout the day. with increas? ing strength in the afternoon. There \va? no apparent reason for the mar? ket's strength, any more than there was for the heaviness In the closing days of last week. Speculative activ? ity in sonic of the important stocks inchcasfcd in the last hour, and Union Pacific, Norfolk and Western, Haiti mort. ami Ohio and the uay stoi ks closed with a net gain of a point or more. News bearing on the railroads is re? ceiving especial attention, and the roads are believed to hold the key to the present situation. The period of adjustment of new conditions arising largelv from their inability to increase freight rates has now fairly begun, end the outcome- Is a matter of con? cern, in view of the intimate relations f.f the carriers with Virtually every 1 branch of trade. Less purchasing j power of the roads Is leading to cur? tailment of expense wherever possi? ble and the phrase, "scientific econ? omy." as applied to the transportation companies, has become a familiar ques? tion. In this connection the February report of the Baltimore and Ohio is of unusual significance. Although its gross earnings fell off by $378,000, expenses were reduced so heavily that there was a decrease in net earnings. Gross earnings on the whole are run? ning up to and little ahead of last year, and a sufficiently rigid policy of economy may change the financial out? look of"the companies materially. Lat? est reports show that the traffic is iH'.llnc off on the Western roads. News from "other quarters was hardly of a more hopeful tenor. It is estimated that 23 per cent, of the spindles of New England cotton mills are idle. Similar conditions on a smaller scale arr reported from Southern cotton manufacturers. A large shop in the West was closed, and there were re? ports of Impending labor troubles from various quarters The intention ol the new members of Congress to In? sist r.n at least some tariff action was reported from Washington. Germany again appeared as a bid? der for South African gold, obtaining more than S1.0oo.nnn of the $5.000,000 available in London to-day. The Bank of England took the bulk of the. of? ferings. European markets were somewhat irregular, although Chitin was ready to yield to the demand ot Russia. Bonds were stcadw Sales. $2,650,000. Total sales of stocks for the day were 140,^00 shares.

EntHbllHiiment Uaiuugeil to Extent of $11,000. [Special to The Times-Dispatch. 1 YVythcvllle, Va., March 27.?Fire broke out In the box-room on the second floor of the Wylhevillc Mer? cantile VJompnny's store hero Sunday evening, and was soon extinguished by the lire company, which responded promptly to the alarm. Damage to the building and stock is estimated at from $2,000 to $2,500. and is fully cov? ered by Insurance. Rats and matches are supposed to have, been the cause. Who knows something about the valuable services of a Trust Company, says he would rather be President of the VIRGINIA TRUST COMPANY than any cor? poration he knows of?except perhaps a railroad. As a class, railroad presidents stand alone. They must be broad men, far-sighted and wise. In 42 words,one of the best equipped railroad presi? dents in this country recently spoke a parable, and if we should call his name, which we will not do, it would have additional weight with the readers of this adver? tisement. He said: "The Virginia Trust Company has a great future. Our people of Virginia do not yet understand the superior services of Trust Companies. But they can he educated to know that a strong institution is preferable to an individ? ual when acting as Executor, Trustee, etc." Ninety-nine men out of every hundred who under? stand this business will confirm that statement. 922 East Main Street, RICHMOND, - - - - VIRGINIA.
