Wall Street The excitement in the Tobacco crowd at the opening of the stock market was as Intense as had been expected in view of th sensational dividend program announced by the directors late yesterday, and their adroit speculative tactics generally. The slaughter of the shorts was a foregone conclusion, owing to the holding back of the dividend notice until after the close of business yesterday. The Tobacco at the opening recorded sales of 8.000 shares from Kc to 91c, as against 89ic. yesterday's closing. Subsequently a rally occurred to 934c.

The stock reacted to 89c and is now 9H4c. The transactions were on a heavy scale, amounting to 37,500 shares by 10:15 a. m. The general market was almost entirely neglected, but gains of slight fractions occurred in a number of shares. The market eased oft In sympathy with the reaction in Tobacco, with Sugar leading with a break of 7s per cent.

Tobacco continued the feature of the speculation at eleven o'clock and had moved Irregularly on diminished trading. An Improvement to 91Hc was followed by reaction to 90ic with the price 90c at the end of the hour. The pressure against the general market was relieved and slight gains ensued, with the list steady at the improvements noted. The trading during the second hour was dull and aside from Tobacco, there was no change of significance The specialty referred to was less freely dealt In and sold down to with a subsequent recovery of per cent.

HOW TO DRAW A BOOK. Atl persons desiring to take books must first procure a form of a contract from the library clerk, and after filling it out and signing It the document must be signed by another resident taxpayer, as a sort of surety for the person. This procedure generally necessitates the taking of the blank out to some friend for his signature, before, It can be returned to the librarian properly filled out. This done, any book can be drawn. The catalogue has not yet been returned from the hands of the printers, therefore some difficulty is at present Incurred in securing the book desired, but this will soon be obviated.

Children under 14 years of age are not allowed to draw books and if they wish to enjoy the advantages of a free library their parents or older brothers and sisters must draw the books for them, for which they are held responsible. The books are absolutely free, no charges whatever except in the way of fines being Imposed. No person is allowed the use of more than one volume at a time and it can be kept out fourteen days. If person desires to keep it for a longer period he must return, it to the library who will fenew it for seven days more, making a total of three weeks that the books can be kept out by this method. A fine of 2 cents a day for each day that a book Is held over the stated period is imposed, and for the wilful mutilation or theft of a volume the state law provides that a fine of not, less than $5 or more than! $100 may be imposed or imprisonment in the county jail for six months on conviction the party.

May opened at against 19c at the close yesterday. There was a pause in the provision market after the ad vance of yesterday.

Hog receipts were small today, but that is assumed to be due to the severe break in the price this week.
