U.P. WAS A MYSTERY WA IX STREET FIZZLED ITSELF OVER THE RAILROAD STOCK. RISE IN SAINT PAUL s. STEEL PREFERRED RECOV ERED YESTERDAY’S DECLINE. T lie Pemlatent Pressure on South ern Pacific Which Was Ignored During' Forenoon, Gained Addi tional Impressiveness—Union Pa cific's Loss on the Day Was n Flat point, and Southern Pacific 3-4 Bonds Were Steady—Total Sales Par Value 2,165,000—U. S. Bonds Unchanged on Call—Total Sales ot Stocks 730,000 Shares. New York, March 30.—There was practically no limit to the surmise and conjectures with which professional Wall street indulged itself to-day, over the hidden significance of the accumulation of'Union Pacific stock, which has been the mystery in the market now for many days. The fav orite hypothesis at the outset to-day was that the accumluatlon was in. the interest of the St. Paul interests, and It was asserted, with every appear ance of conviction, that an official statement would shortly be forthcom ing from the St. Paul authorities that they had secured 200,000 shares of Union Pacific. It is a matter of com mon notoriety, also, that relations be tween St. Paul and Union Pacific in the Interchange of traffic and of com mon ownership of stock are already close. But the assumption that self-protec tion necessitates such action by St. Paul presumes a similar necessity on the part of all the Pacific and trans continental railroad systems for a con trol of through facilities from a trunk line terminus to the Pacific coast. Rise in St. Paul. Hence the rise in St. Paul was log ically accompanied by strength in Atchison, Missouri Pacific and others situated in like manner and floods of \new rumors extended the principle illustrated in St. Paul’s supposed pur chases of Union Pacific. One varia tion of the rumor was that the buy ing was for the Gould interest, rather than for St. Paul. Other factors had only a small in fluence on the rise in prices. Cheer ful reports were heard of the coal trade and the reduction in prices of anthracite to go into effect on April 1 is expected to stimulate demand. V. S. Steel Recovered.

The specu lative confidence over the reliability of some stories currrent to account for the rise was decidedly impaired as the day progressed and during the final hour the level of prices touched represented a cancellation of the best part of the earlier gains. The persistent pressure on Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific, which was ignored during the forenoon, gained additional impressiveness. Those two stocks ranged beiow yesterday’s last prices throughout. Union Pacific’s loss on the day is a flat point, and Southern Pacific’s is %. The market closed irregular and near the lowest.

Full in formation, 37 Bull street, Germania Bank building.—ad^ Onr Coffee Bill. wporfC o squrh avc.”tr unfl?H a(|‘!l From the New York Sup. It is estimated that the people of the United States drink 1,500,000,000 gallons of coffee in the course of a year, at a cost of about 10 cents per gallon. The Importing cost of the requi site quanlty of coffee berries for this supply, at 7 cents a pound, is about $75,000,000. From this it appears that preparation, package, distribution and dealers’ profits make the price to the consumer about, double the importing cost. Coffee prices for the coming year are likely to be nearly If not quite double those of the last year or two, as a result of legitimate commercial conditions, and may even exceed that as a result of speculation. The high prices which prevailed ten years ago led to a very great extension of the Brazilian industry, our principal source of supply for the cheaper grades. An enormous output reduced prices to a point of little or no profit in produc tion, and a reaction followed; with the result that groves were injured and permanently destroyed through ne glect to care for them. The crop of the present year is not likely to be more than half that of two years ago. This will probably send the retail pric<B of coffee up to 20 cents, or even 30 cents, a pound for fair and medium grades, though the choicer grades should not show a proportionate in crease.

As has been said, we are still sensitive to such coarse words as “thief” and “steal," but lt Is vain to deny among ourselves that certain unchallenged doings of to-day forcibly suggest those terms. So we save our face with an indulgent gayety, not devoid of humor. We give a twist and a turn to the rapidly changing English language, and the ugly words disappear In the process. When a conductor steals a fare we Jocularly remark that he is "knocking down on the company;” when we steal a ride from the same company and conductor we laughingly re to- *o opr Success In “beating the game;’’ when we bribe we merely "In fluence” or "square things;” when we are bribed we collect “assessments” or “rebates” or “commissions” or "re tainers,” and so on, until we reach a grave definition of "honest graft,” which would be more humorous if so many people did not feel that the term supplied them with a long-felt want. Now, these expressions and others like them may bear a strong resemblance to thieves' slang, but they mrely reflect the language of the peo ple unconsciously retreating to a lower moral level.
