OWING TO SNOW FALL YESTERDAY BICHMOND t CAME NEAR HAVING A MILK FAMINE.

Local Markets Were Almost Barren of Green Stuffs From the South A Few Farmers Planted Potatoes on St. Patrick's Day and .They Hope For an Exceptionally Good Crop. There was almost a milk famine in the city yesterday owing to the big snow fall and only a few milkmen wandered into the city to serve their regular patrons. As a result the retail groceries, the confectionary stores and the bakeries were appealed to by hundreds of people for milk. These tradesmen were unabfe to meet the great demand, being unprepared for it. The outlook is that the same condition of affairs will be prevalent today. ,.' . i The local markets were almost bare of greenstuff yesterday owing to the weather but fortunately, the demand made on the retailers was not great. The vegetables and fruits from: the south which have been appearing on the local markets have been delayed in transportation because of ; the snow. It is stated that a few farmers, in this country, believing in the old adage, planted potatoes on St. Patrick's day, and those that did are predicting that their crop will be exceptionally good.

Perhaps the most magnificent gift ever made by any individual to any nation was the presentation by Lady Wallace to the English nation of her husband's remarkable art collection in 1897. It contains over GOO pictures of every school, including thirteen by Sir Joshua Reynolds, furniture, china and objects of art innumerable, of a value between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000. It was left absolutely to the nation, the only stipulation being that it'should be kept distinct from other national collections. - ELECTION STRATEGY. Am Incident of an English Parliamentary Contest. In the days before the institution of the secret ballot, when the candidate with the longest purse usually won an election, a former Ijord Dundonald, who refused to give bribes, contested Honiton," but wus beaten by an opponent who paid Lis electors at the rate of 5 a vote. Then the unsuccessful candidate conceived this brilliant plan, says the writer of a history of the Dundonald family. He announced to his friends that he was quite determined to win the seat next timer without bribery. Then he sent the town crier round the town to announce that all who had roted for him in this first election might repair to his agent, from whom they would receive 10. As comparatively few people had voted for him, this was not a very expensive process. And at the next election Lord Dundonald was elected by an enormous majority. After tfie triumph several people came .to him and delicately suggested that some reward was due to such loyalty. "Not a farthing," was the reply. . "But, my lord, you gave 10 a head to the minority at tbe last election, and the- majdrity have been counting on something handsome on this occasion." "Perhaps so," said the clever candidate. "My former gift was for their disinterested conduct in not taking my opponent's bribe of 5. For me to pay them now would be to violate my own principles." Pearsftu's. S- u V t 1 - ;

STOCK PRICES ON NEW YORK EXCHANGE YIELDED TO HEAVY SELLING PRESSURE.

Dealings Were on a Very Limited ScaleA General Sprinkling of Liquidation Found no Sustaining Demands -The Standard Railroad Stocks Showed Weakness Copper ' and Smelting Stock Notary Weak Weak Close. New York, March 19. Opening dealings in the stock market showed no decided trend in prices in cither direction. Small grains and' losses were about equally divided, and many stoeks opened unchanged from Saturday's closing. Dealings .were on a very limited scale, and the market came almost to a standstill in a few minutes after the opening. 'V A general sprinkling of liquidation found no sustaining demands, and there was a comprehensive yielding of prices. Standard railroad stocks were less active than the specialties, but showed the same relative weakness. Trading Was Lifeless. The selling pressure subsided, but only feeble rallies followed. Bonds were dull and heavy. Speculation displayed little novelty with the progress of the day. Prices receded again sharply and the decline ceased at intervals only where the supply of stocks ran out. General losses of about a point were established pretty well throughout the list. The Copper and Smelting stocks were notably weak. Continued to Decline. Prices continued to decline on a light volume of offerings. Losses were moderately extended throughout beyound previous figures. Closing was 'd-ill and listless, with losses predominating over the opening. '' ' "' NEW YORK STOCKS. v (Furnisher! by O. G. Murray.) . open close. Amal Copper .. ......10634 1033 Am.
