New York Sun's Summary Stocks.
New York, April 18 The day's stock
market evinced strong powers of ab
sorption of the stock that were offered
for sale in it. and that it was a market
whose dominant tendency was upward
ZvLlT Plain!? obserble. Noteable
strongth was, displayed by the entire
penna group of railway stocks. Cerr
tarn Wall street houses whose trans
actions are usually set down as for
the account cf very powerful capital
ists were heavy buyers cf Penna stock
particularly foreign, the price of the
shares. to the higher figures touched
by them m recent months. Presumably
m sympathy with this rise, there was
advances in the Norfolk & Western
Cheseapeak & Ohio, Baltimore & Ohio
and similar stocks, and opinion was
generally expressed that a more liberal
dividend policy on the part of the Nor
folk and Western, and other railway
companys of whose stocks the Penna
company is so large a holder was at
least among the possibilities. The per
sistent strength of the United States
Steel stocks also stood out very promi
nently, and this is substantial authori
ty for the statement that investment
in these stocks on the part some of the
strongest financial interest in the
country has recently been in progress
on a large scale. The market closed
with small net advances, and declines
in prices scattered through the list,
declines being slightly in the majority.
The most important event of the day in
its direct bearing upon security value
was, it is needless to say, the increased
softening of rates for the use of
money.

STOCKS.
New York Sun's Cotton Summary.
(Furnished by Gibert & Clay of New
Orleans, La.)
New York, April IS Although there
was no great stir in the trading, it was
very evident that the market had un
derlying strength which gave room
traders a pause. A while back they
were very ready to sell the market on
all rallies, but they are beginning to
think twice before they adopt such tac
tics now. Bull interests are manipulat
ing the market on both sides of the
water but many attach more import
anca to the firmness of the spit situa
tion, the activity of trade, and the nu
merous indications of a large consump
tion and of the fact that a big crop
will be needed to prevent the visible
supplys from falling to a dangerously
low stage. Livernool and Wall Street
houses were buying and room traders
also liquidate short contracts. Spot
houses were understood to be buying.
The market presents a singular
spectacle of strength which does not
attract outside speculation, but which
does attract inside buying both from
speculators and the spinning trade. In
all probability the outside publim will
net come into the market unless there
are some serious advise developments
in regard to the weather or until prices
have reached a much higher stage or
there is some other occurrence to rivet
public attention to the cotton
market.

A REMARKABLE SERMON.
Preached by Mr. Hulten, the New
Pastor of First Baptist Church.
In speaking cf a sermon preached by
Rev. H. H. Kuiten at Bales Avenue
church in Kansas City last Sunday,
a paper of that city says:
"Rev. H. H. Hulten preached a re
markably great sermon before Bales
Avenue church of this city last Sunday
night on the sympathy of Jesus. Mr.
Hulten is sympathetic, compassionate,
in touch with toiler and employer, with
rich and poor. He is only thirty-one
years- cf age, but he knows men and
his harp is like David's many-stringed
instrument. The great church of more
than a thousand members yield to his
eloquence and forget everything in the
world except the earnest preacher and
his message from God. Mr. Hulten can
preach. Four joined the church last
Sunday. One of the foremost churches
in the South is demanding his services.
But Kansas City needs Mr. Hulten and
Bales Avenue will unanimously seek
to retain him."
