BT. PAUL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29. 1883.
In seventeen years tLepostoffices in the
United States have increased at the rate of
40 per cent.
Vennob predicts a mild fall, and there is
no one who wants to dispute Vennor, at
least on this subject.
It will be seen by the telegram elsewhere
that President Arthur cannot be in St.
Paul next Monday". The loss will be the
president's.
The citizens of St. Paul need no urging
to make next Monday memorable. All
business will be suspended in the fore
noon, and everybody will unite in making
a display. Our guests are to arrive at
9 a. m.
When the Pioneer Press asks a business
man for an advertisement it would be well
to ask them whether there are to be two
editions, and whether the advertisement
is to be treated like the address of the
president of the St. Paul Chamber of Com
merce and appear in "a few hundred
copies" only.
Fiee Commissioned Htjghsen is thus re
ported by the Minnesota Tribune as com
menting on the charge against Chief
Black:
The whole affair looks like a deep laid scheme
looking towards the removal of Black and in
stigated by ward politicians, mostly Irish and
Catholics, who are 6ore over the discharge of
Duggan, who was also a Catholic and held the
position of assistant chief for a while.
If Commissioner Hughsen proposes to
introduce religion into the fire department
he will probably find his hands full pretty
soon. That is a very poor way of answer
ing serious charges, but it shows a bigotry
that demonstrates that the man who utters
it is unfit to pass judgment on r.ny one.
The Minneapolis papers parrde a tele
gram from Vice President Oakea, of the
Northern Pacific road, st:ii in- that the N.
P. party will spend next Monday forenoon
in that city. The telegram is dated Aug.
22, while Mr. Clongh's "by authority" letter
to the Mayor is dated August 27.
That is sufficient time for a change to
have been made. In addition Mayor
Ames says he never received such a tele
gram from Mr. Oakes, and still further)
telegrams from New York yesterday say
Mr. Clough's announcement is the official
programme. So the visit and procession
is to be in St. Paul Monday forenoon and
oar citizens can govern themselves accord
ingly.
They seem to be in distress in Minne
apolis relative to the time of day of their
N. P. procession. The Minneapolis Pio
neer Press says they are bound to have the
procession Monday morning, whether they
have any guests or not. The Journal de
sires to go on record as predicting
that Mr. Villard will make a
morning visit to Minneapolis, while
the Tribune says it will be time enough to
change the programme when they find
they have to. Meantime telegrams from
New York yesterday confirm the correct
ness of Mr. Clough's announcement to
Mayor Ames and Mayor O'Brien, book
ing the party in S. ' Monday
morning.
The Rev. Dr. McKe. . ,< the M. E.
ohurch, recently address j a large audience
on a Sunday evening, at North Adams,
Massachusetts, on the Mormon question.
His brother was chief justice of Utah under
Grant's administration, and caused the
arrest of Brigham Young. Dr. McKean
spent some time in Utah with his brother,
the chief justice, and is well acquainted
with the posture of affairs there. He says
the Mormons laugh at the Edmunds law,
and that they seem to feel perfectly secure
against legislation, as they claim their in
stitutions to be divine and
consequently they cannot be over
thrown by human laws. He
does not think it possible to eradicate
polygamy by legislation. It can only be
done, he thinks, by force. If Utah should
be admitted into the Union as a state the
Mormons, he says, would immediately em
igrate to New Mexico, Arizona, or Idaho,
where they already have large and strong
colonies.
The New York Sun, with unabated sever
ity, i 3 pursuing President Garfield, charg
ing corrupt bargaining with Jay Gould
and others during the campaign of 1880 to
carry the election. Iv reference to these
charges the New York Herald magnani
mously and humanely says:
'•There is, therefore, nothing —absolutely
nothing — in Gen. GarfiehTs acts as president
which gives the least color to these assertions
against a man now dead and unable to defend
himself and for whom tho-e who pretendc-il to
be his friends while he was alive and in power
are making a very feeble defense. It seems to
us that honorable men Lave a right to regard
the accusations of Garfield as infamous. If
a:3 one has proofs to offer of their truth he had
bettor do it quickly. But if there was thi
proof it would have been produced long ago."
There was doubtless corruption enough,
and bad use of Republican money in the
campaign, but the connection of Gen. Gar
n,eld with corrupt schemes remains to be
proved, and, as the Herald says, if there is
proof it would long since have been pro
duced. In the absence of proof, it is un
manly to continue harping upen these
charges. There is no party necessity
that requires or justifies these un
proven charges, and certainly justice
and humanity both condemn
them. A man, slain on account of his
high official position, might be permitted
to rest quietly in his grave, and at least
not be pursued there on unproven charges
of misdoings. President Garfield was but
human, and made mistakes, venial one?,
we may charitably hope. There is no jus
tification, in order to gain a party advan
tage over the living, to assail the reputa
•tiou and memory of the dead. The mur
dered president had his weaknesses., like
all others of human kind, yet it is bnt
merciful to let him sleep quietly in his
bloody shrond, "nor seek to drag his frsil
ties from their dread abode."
GEn. John Moeqak, the Kentucky guer
rilla leader, was shot during the war of
the rebellion in 1861, now nearly twenty
years ago. A j vehement controversy is
now going on as to whether he was shot
before or after he had surrendered. A
southern unrepentant writer indulges in a
violent tirade against the Union soidiers,
charging them with be mar cowardly mur
derers, on lhe assumption that Morgan
was shot after he had surrendered, but the
weight of evidence is all the other way.
Col. Brownlow, son of the famous
Parson Browulow was in commßnd of the
Union forces when Morgan was killed. He
asserts that tha story that he wa* assassina
ted after surrender, and that indignities
were offered to his corpse, is wholly and
absolutely untrue. But here is a witness
whose testimony cannot be disputed, and
his statement ought to put at rest forever
the malicious slander. Oapt. J. S. Rogers,
a rebel soldier, belonging to Gen.
Morgan's staff, in tho capac
ity of his assistant adjutant
general, wrote an account of Morgan's
death the day after lie was killed, and of
course is an unbiased witness. Here is
what he wrote:
I was with Gen. M. vrhen he left Mrs. Vvil
liams r s. He handed me one of his pistols and
said that he wished me to assist him in making
his escape. I told him it was almost useless and
we were entirely surrounded. He replied, say
ing that we must do it if possible. We were
concealed in a clump of bushes when a soldier
rode up to the fence wearing a brown jeans jacket.
We, naturally supposing him to be a confederate
soldier, came out of the bushes, Gen. M. step-'
ping at the sane time through tho fence. The
boluic-r demanded a surrender, much to our sur
prise. Capt. Wilcox, of tho federal army, with
some other soldiers, rode up. 1, with Mr. John
son, hastened toward hi«n. Looking back in
the direction of Gen. II , I saw him throw up
his hands, excl;tkni:ig '*Oh, God." I saw
nothing more of him until he was brought to
the street dead. I ;im satisfied Johnson and my
self were fired on nfcer we surrendered, but by
men so idr from us tliat it muse have been iin
poßeible for them to know that we wcro prison
ers. I asked ("apt. Wiicox to leavo a soldier
with me after I had surrendered, for my own
safety, wr.ich he diil. We were possibly fired
upon from almost every direction, but from
such a dituanca that 1 am satisfied the me;; did
it innocently. I, however, <io not condemn
them for firing on me after 1 surrendered, under
the circumstances. If Gen. liirgan turrendered
before being shot I did not know it.

Uncle Rufus Hatch has been interviewed
in the Yellowstone park, and he speaks
right out with all the freedom of a front
iersman. His conversation and develop
ments are lively, racy, terse and well
calculated to make the fur fly. He seems
to have no great respect for the senatorial
"Indian Commission." He more than in
timr.tes that congressmen are purchasable
— that they '"absorb" sometimes even a
million dollars. Rsuiarkabie as it may
seem, he found two, and it may fairly be
inferred only "two, honest politicians,"
Senator Beck and Roscoe Conkling.
Conkling, he said, could "paddle his own
canoe against the sneak thieves of both
parties." His disclosures are sensational
and startling. His ideas in regard to
presidential candidates are unique and
characteristic. He does not seem to be
tramelled or afflicted by any hidebound
partisan considerations. Either Conkling
or Beck can be elected. Whichever is
elected, the other will support him. If
the Republican party fails to nominate
Conkling their doom is sealed. In that
case Beck will be nominated. Conkling will
give him New York and he will be elected.
If Conkhng was nominated Beck would
support him and he would be elected.
The interview is lively, outspoken, in
cisive. It is given in a special to the
Chicago Tribune, and makes "mighty in
teresting reading.'' Here it is:
Uncle Kuf us Hatch, according to agreement,
opened his mouth on politics last night in a
startling way . He was found in bed. He has
revised the following remarkable interview aud
declares it correct:
He was asked what he thought of the declara
tion of the Indian commission, comprising
Senators Logau, Dawes and Angus Cameron,
that they would advocate in congress the neces
sity of competition to his company in the [auk.
He replied that competition was impossible.
"We hold a contract for ten yeare," be said.
"If there is any big Indian who wants la take
it off our hands he can be accommodated. At
whose expense," continued Uncle llufus. "did
the commission visit the park?"
"At the government's, I suppose," replied
your correspondent.
"I wish, than," said he, "the government
would pay my expenses in here. The Indian
commission can't hurt eithei Roscoo Conkling
or myself. He can paddle his own canoe against
the sneak thieves of both parties.' '
Mr. Hatch was asked what lie thought of
Senator Beck's advocacy that railroads should
run through the park.
He said: ''I should be happy to have some
onr project a railway through the park. It
would increase our revenues uuder our contract.
Such a railway would have to have our consent
to make transportation. Please understand I
invite every one to come when they wish, go
where they please, and in any manner they
choose, until snow flirs, perhaps forever and ev
er. Congress has no power to go behind our
contract, nor can it dissolve the bargain. I
could have saved ail this trouble last winter by
employing a certain senator as attorney for
§5,000 per'year to grease the wheels."
"Piease remember that from 1872 to 1874,
while managing the Pacific Mail contract, 1 had
a little experience with congre s. That body
dissolved that contract because I would not ante
up a cent. Stockwell paid a million dollars to
congressmen for a contract. An investigation
followed, and Stockwell not only lost his mil
lion, but five millions more, which the subsidy
was worth. I was before the invest 'gating
committee three months. I knew there were
men on the committee asking me questions who
had plenty of Btockwell'a money in their pock
ets. There was one man who asked straight
questions. He had no Pacific Mail money in
his pocket. He remarked finally 'hat they had
enough of investigating me. If you will read
the report you will find the questions and know
who trio honest man was. I have had dealings
with two honest politicians, Senator Beck and
Boseoe Conkling."
Referring again to the park matter, Mr.
Hatch likened himself to the uian who fell
among thieves beiwe i Homo and Jerusalem.
He hoped some good Samaritan, either he or a'
president of the United States, would pass by
and poor oil and wine upon 'his unfortunate
head. He then s;::«l if anyone wanted to inves
tigate either the old Pacific Mail or the new £el
lowstone conracts they could rind all the books
in his cellar and plenty of menu canda in his
head. Ho had never paid a cent to get either
contract.
In regard to his expenses on this trip. Mr.
Hatch said that he had but one way of keeping
nib expense account . When he left home lie
pat a certain amount in his pocket. When he
returned home lie was certain to know how
much he had borrowed during the yachting trin
on wheels by the drafts which got there ahead
of him.
Your correspond j nt insisted that the Indian
commission did hold a meeting in the park and
declared war on Uncle llufu.-.
Mr. Hatch said he did not believe it. The
commission was composed of lawyers who
knew what a contract was signed by the gov
ernment.
He was then sske.l about presidential candi
dates. Herep!'.e(l|*i ; iitt there were only tw>
Senators Beck and • ankling. One of these men
must succeed. They pulled together. An
agreement whs already signed. If the Republi
can party fail to nominate Conkling its doom
was sealed. The Democrats would then nomi
nate Beck, and Conkling would give them New
York. If Conkling were nominated Beck would
support him, oi.it me Democrats would elect
him over their own ticket. One of the men
would bo elected anyway .
AMUSEMENTS.
Mile Rhea at the Opet-n House.
A gieat deal has been written by way of
encomium of the beauty, charms and
talent of M'lle Rhea, the tragedienne, and
wheu therefore, the curlain rose on the
first act of "Adriecne," at the Opera house
last night, the very large and fashionable
audience was in the best
of moods lo accord to the company
a flattering reception, whilo the prevailing
sensation was one of kindly and generous
expectancy. The drama of "Adrienne," is
noi magnetio in the popular sense, and
there is scarcely any of the clap-trap de
vices to catch applause so glaringly ap
parent in tho common run of French plays.
It is, however, deeply interesting,
possessing to a marked degree the quali
tits which enlist attention and sympathy,
but the process is slow and natural and
admiration enhances with the unfolding by
tae plot, the interest not reaching its
height .until the fourth of act. Th«
drama is really a powerful ona in
m <ny senses, but with a less gifted lady
than Rhea it is easily susceptible of being
marred in the acting. The reception
accorded the performauco last night was
warm and hearty, and a most enjoyable
entertainment was given.
The impersonation of M'lle Rhea was
characterized by fine dramatic ftrvor and
in the scenes where great emotional
display is called for, her acting was pow
erful intense, the chief charm
of her rendition, as remarked
upon the occasion of her former visit to
this cit}-, being the manifestation, of that
high degree of art which in its more inti
mate ruoods simulates or counterfeits th«
very form and feature of nature.
A higher tribute than this
could scarcely be accorded aDy artist. She
is not beautiful, although in her finer
moments of emotional energy she displays
a power far higher than is possessed by
mere symmetry of form or feature.
As Roxanna the actress, in the second
act she was graceful and charming, and in
her declamation from Racine's tragedy in
the fourth act, her frenzy of voice and
action was eloquent in the extreme.
The support was uniformly good, the
characters of "Michonette," the prompter,
by Mr. Wilson; that of Maurice by Mr.
Reynier, Miss Lindeman, as the princess,
being especially fine and enjoyable.
The costumes were execeedingly rich
and beautiful, fi: er appointments in
this respect being seldom witnessed.
To-night M'Ue Rhea appears as Beatrice,
in "Much Ado About Nothing."
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail
road runs a special train to-night, leaving
here at 11 p. m., after the performance,
affording Minneapolis patrons an oppor
tunity to witness the play and return home
the same evening. There will be a special
train run every evening this week to Min
neapolis.
iloothc tit the Athenwitm.
Perhaps there is no country in the world
where Lhe great minds either in arts or
literature are more appreciated and their
memory more revered than in Germany.
Goethe and Schiller are read, understood
and appreciated by well nigh every peas
ant of tho Fatherland, while it would be
difficult to find one solitary mind in the
peasant class of England in a whole
county who possesses a copy
of the works of the immortal
bard — the sweet songster of Avon. That
the Germans both appreciate and love
the works of their great poets was itrongly
exemplified in t!>:e large gathering at the
Athenaeum last evening, the occasion being
the 134 th anniversary of Goethe's birth.
The programme consisted of recitation^
from Guethe's works, interspersed with
music, and was really a musical and liter
ary treat, the musical part of the pro
gramme being supplied by the talented
Misses Geist and Hern G. Yon Gcetzen
The overture for two pianos, "Egmont,"
(Beethoven) was well rendered by the
Misses Geist. Hern R. Conrad's address
was well received and much applauded.
"Noel" (Adams) a trio for piano, (Miss
Maria Geist), organ, (Miss Kittie Geist),
and violin, (G. yon Goetzen), was listened
to with rapt attention and encored . Fran
Marie yon Serenyi recited Goethe's "Zuer
gnung" with much effect. Her enuncia
tion was clear and pure, and the reading
intelligent, and she gave the declamatory
passages with telling effect.|;P. J. Gieaen's
ujiritone voice was heard to advantage in
Schubert's Erlkoenig (Goethe's poem.)
"Dsr Fischer" and "Der Todtentanz,
(Goethe), recited by Louis Stern, was much
applauded.
A very sweet but unpretentious trio by
Haydn for piano, cello and violin was most
tastefully rendered by Miss Marie Geist,
Miss Katie Geist and Hern Goetzen, Miss
Katie Geist displaying especial good taste.
Her cello tones were pure and her tech
nique good. A soliloquy from Goethe's
Iphigenie given in character by Franlien
Augusta Froemmig wfes immensely ap
plauded. Hern Goetzen followed with a
violin solo by Ernst in which he showed
himself an amateur violinist of no common
order. His tone is pure, his phrasing
good but the transition from crescendo to
diminuendo at times too abrupt and al
though the piece was rendered with some
spirit and even impetuosity there were
passages wanting in vigor and intensity.
A scene from "Torquato Tasso" — Tasso,
J. J. Penner, Antonio, W. Fuchs, was
given with considerable spirit.
'•Der Engel Leid" (Braga), with violin ob
ligata, was very expressively suag by Miss
Marie Geist, and was enthusiastically en
cored, Mr. Goetzen playing the obligata.
The celebration was brought to a close by
a beautiful tableau. The entertainment, if
space would admit, was worthy of a far
more lengthy critique, for it is seldom that
an amateur performance displays so much
real talent and merit.

part of its weight of woe. His boy, he
said, was the victim of a horse thief and
a rogue. The other man, Fred Nott, he
told the Globe man, stole a horse from his
own brother at North Minneapolis, and
took it down to Big Lake, where
Carr formerly lived, where he sold
it for $75, and being "wanted"
by the police he fled to Zumbrota Falls
and lodged in the house of young Carr
where he contrived to pass upon his victim
some of the "queer" which young Carr
innocently tried to "shove.'' So says the
old man, and he further adds that heihas
witnesses to prove the horse theft and the
innocence of his victimized son.

CHICAGO.
LSpecial Telegram to the Globe. J
Chicago, Aug. 28.— The oat market has
been the center of interest on 'change to
day. The stocks are very light, and a bull
movement was unexpected, hence a vigor
ous raid sent prices up 2*^o from the open
ing in a very short time. The sharp rally
is conclusive that there i 3 still out quite a
line of shorts, and the situation for them
is not a pleasant one. Two firms are sup
posed to hold the key to the situation, and
they are disposed to compel the
shorts to pay as high as possible
in order to cover. It has
been thought the receipts for the last
few days of the month would be so large
as t« afford relief and the shorts have been
waiting with the hope of a glut in the
market. The receipts to-day are not as
large as was anticipated being 240,000. The
shipments are 168,000, which leaves but a
small amount to apply on contracts. So
far as to-day is concerned, no charters,
however, have been made, owinjr to the
scarcity of vessel room.
From present indications the quicker
shorts cover their August sales the better.
At the close the market was steady at 2S 3 .{c
for August, which was 1c less than the
highest point of the day: Bat il i 5 evident
the short 3 are not happy. It is barely pos
sible the month may go out with a flat
market, as it did last month in corn. The
longer futures are steady and not much
influenced by the flarry in August.
There was no good buying in th 9 wheat
market to-day. On the contrary the longs
were selling and recent sellers were about
the only buyers. Lester & Schwartz cov
ered shorts early, but were anxious sellers
when they found the prominent buyers of
yesterday were not increasing their lines.
Trading on tho whole was less active and
the feeling unsettled and easier. The re
ceipts continue fair, and foreign advices
were unfavorable, quoting a dull and de
pressed feeling. Tho weather i*. England
was reported as hot and forcing.
Outside orders were les3 numerous and
there was less desire shown to operate.
The market opened at about closing fig
ures of yesterday to }^o lower and quick
ly sold off under free offerings, finally
reaching a point %@J£e below, then ral
lied a trifle, fluctuated and finally closed
about a cent lower than yesterday.
Corn closes easier after the morning
bulge; August Bhorts bought freely all day,
but there was persistent hammering by
leading bears, and, although cash corn
held firm, and New York continues strong,
the bulls could not hold prices. The in
ferior grades continue in excellent de
mand. The continued inquiry from ship
pers is the strongest feature of the mar
ket. Both the shipments and charters
were large to-day, being 416,000 and 430,
--000 bushels respectively.
On the board the market was fairly
active and the feeling unsettled. The re
ceipts were again liberal, 966 cars
and 24,000 bushels being inspected into
store. Foreign advices were unfavorable
and the weather was not cold as had been
expected and there was rain in some sec
tions where it was needed for the growing
crop. Under these influences the market
opened weaker and prices declined %@,%0
below yesterday's closing figures. But
iater when the cash property came on the
market and it was discovered that the
offerings were eagerly taken up by shippers
and speculators and that No. 2 especially
was being actively called for to cover
August sales the feeling became stronger
and prices advanced %@,%c, the market
finally closing easier and }£c higher for
cash and August and }4.0 lower for Sep
tember and October than on 'change yes
terday. No. 2 was active to fill shorts and
firm at 51@51}£o and closed at Sl% bid.
High mixed in good shipping demand and
rejected inactive shipping demand.
Rye was dull and &@Xa lower. The
demand was inadevuate to the offerings.
The opening trades in provisions were
indicative of a few outside buying orders,
which were filled at last night's closing
prices, $22.30 and $8.55 October, but the
moment that wheat dropped }gc the bears
began selling. Steever has been the most
li Deral with his offerings. Business failed
to show as mnoh activity on the market as
the strength exhibited yesterday. On the
contrary the feeling was on the bearish
order, while the trading was f-low, spas
modic and only moderate in volume. In
the morning there was some life in chang
ing over September trades for Ootober,but
outside orders were limited, and during the
last half of the session a slow market was
generally witnessed. Prices were
easier and at the close a de
cided decline from yesterday's closing fig
ures was indicated. Cash prod act was only
moderately active.
Pork suffered a decline based on yester
day's closings of 20@22V.2"- Early sales
were made at outside prices which were
also about tho same as yesterday's last fig
ures, but the tendency was downward and
the market gradually sold off .vith little or
no fluctuation to speak of. The last sales
reported were made at the lowest prices
quoted. The business transacted was only
moderate. Cash pork closed at 11.92}-£ @
12.00 according to quantity. The disposi
tion among operators is to sell on the
flurries and cover on the breaks.
Lard sympathized with pork opening at
about yesterday's closings, ruling
easier and lower and finally
closing on the active future's
15c under the prices obtained on tha first
sales. The more extended futures were
only 2f<@sc under yesterday. The trad
ing was only moderate. Cash lard closed
at §8.35^8.37^. The September and
October options have been wonderfully
uncertain, ranging from $8.40 to $8.55
irregularly. September was for some
time 5c below October.
At the stock yards there was a fair run
of hogs to-day and the market was moder
ately active at prices showing bnt little
difference from those current on Monday,
' light weight being strong. At the outset
jard speculators were the principal buy-
I ers, but later packers and shippers took
hold in a fairly liberal way. A few select
ed bacon pigs sold in the morning at 5.85
@ 5.90 and in two or three instances 535
was paid for choice heavy. About 10
o'ctock the market ruled quieter and by
11 o'clock had become very dull and
showed a strong downward tendency, buy
ers bidding 10c lower thun opening rates.
Sixteen thousand hogs are expected to
morrow.
The cattle trade opened a little slow not
because of any lack of demand, bat buy
ers hesitate to pay tne advanced
prices at which the stuff was
held. The fact that the receipts
fell much short of general expenditures
filled holders with confidence and they in
sisted upon an advance of 10a. They
gained their point, bnt their firmness
caused a slow trade. Texans were in light
supply, and for good ones figures 15c above
Monday's prices were named, but there
were no sales at so marked an advance.
After about 9 o'clock there was a fair gen
eral movement. Very few northern range
cattle have arrived thas far this week, and
prices are nominal at $3.25@4.75.
The board of trade will raise a fund for
the Rochester sufferers. Mr. R. A. Jone?,
of that city, who has been sent out to
solicit aid of all kinds, was introduced to
the members of the board to-day at
noon by President Hobbs, and in a few
minutes vividly described the position
the people of his city were in, about 1,000
beiDg destitute. The president has appoint
ed M. Rosenbaum, L. G. Kelly and Geo. C.
Ball a committee to wait apon the mem
bers and see what could be done for their
relief.
All tho differences between the closed
and open boards have been adjusted, and
the members of the latter r.re happy be
cause hereafter they will receive the quota
tions regularly and not have to depend on
chance. The dispute about speculative
commissions was settled souto da;
the officers of tho open board agree
ing that they should be nominally }£
instead of an J£, leaving the members
free, like those of the closed board, to vio
late the rule by the appointment of agents.
The other point, "hours of trading,'' has
also been settled.
One of the oldest members of the board
of trade retired from business to-day and
sold his membership for §3,500. He pr.id
$5 for it when the board was started.
NEW YORK.
L Special Telegram to tlie Globe. J
New Yoek, Aug. 28. — On the stock (i
--change to-day the bears rather controlled
the situation daring the morning hours.
Shortly after noon prices rallied, the bulls
bought stocks pretty freely aud showed
considerable grit. The market became
quite active with large dealings in Oregon,
Northern Pacific and Delaware «.fc Laoka
wanna. The Omahas were strong. The
upward movement was of short duration,
however. At 2 o'clock Lake Shore on
reported catting rates was raided and
went below 100, Northwestern declined
from 122 to 120; 5 jC, and the feeling became
feverish for a time. One thousand shares
of Reading were reported bought in Phil
adelphia for New York account. Denver,
it was said, would pay its obligations due
September. As on yesterday, tha light
weights held up and advanced while
the dividend payers were being depressed.
Mr. Keene was reported talking bullish
on the. situation. The quotations on C, B.
& Q. to-day are ex dividend 2 per
cent. There was a good deal
of excitement in the final
dealings. The shorts made haste to cover
and prices were rushed up with n rapidity
that was somewhat startling. Indications
favor more activity and wide Hue t nation?,
and to-morrow we may be treated to some
thing in the way of a bear panic which
would be quite refreshing to holders of
stocks;. Day, Field & Colborn Raid the
bears soon gathered together and a sharp
onslaught waa made on the Villard,
Northwest, Lake Shore and Jersey Central.
The raid lasted about an hoar and wheu
the pressure ceased the market became
vary lifeless. Towards noon the bear-*
again hammered the list which action was
accompanied by Kernan's report th>it the
Northern Pacific company has a float
ing debt of $17,000,000 and Oregon
Transcontinental will issue $15,000,000
bonds to be sold on the market. This
t jok all the life out of the Villard proper
ties, but did not succeed in
bringing out much of the
stock. Slayback hammered Jersey and a
prominent house sold Western Union,
&eller 60. A report in the room was that
D. P. Morgan had turned bear. When re
leased from the pressure the market ral
lied, but Lackawanna soenaad to be heavy
at 101. The pool sold St. Paul, and a heavy
drive was made against Lake Shore. The
orders in Lake Shore seemed to be given
out by one of the Vanderbilt houses. Dur
ing the last three-quarters of an hour the
market became quite active and sold rap
idly under free covering of the shorts. It
is reported. that Drexel, Morgan &Co. have
called in 15,000 shares of Oregon Trans
continental. There was great buying of
St. Paul during the early hours. Kernan
reported that the Wabash lines ei^t of the
Mississippi are to be leassd to the Lake
Shore. Opinions are very much divided
about H. N. Smith. One report is
that he has been following Mr. Gould: that
the latter was long of Western Union and
short of the rest of the market; that Smith
was long of Lake Shore and Lackawanna,
and is selling the balance of the list. A
report on the floor this morning was that
Smith had sold all his long stock andgona
short at the bottom. Those that believe
these rumors think he was pulling down
Lake Shore, against which there was
strong opposition, in order lo cover his
shorts. The market closed very strong,
with White, Clows and many other
buyers. It was reported that Keene and
D. P. Morgan were caught short. It is
likely to be a brokers' market until we
know more about the crops, und on a Air
ther rally to-morruv,- I- may be ii
sale.
A telegram to W. T. Baker says there
has been fair activity and rnucii b ;y
--ing by people who believe that the bottom
has beed reached. The ~hort3 have also
covered largely. We hear that J. 11. Keene
has changed front on the market and trom
a furious bear has become a rampant bull.
This is a gleam of comfort to the bulls.
It is not by any mep.v- vtutain, however,
that we have seen the won t. There was a
considerable rally about noon, which was
broken by large sales oi L ike Shore which
was crowded below par on a reported
alliance with Wabash. Of the Northern
Pacifies the common stock to-day showed
the mo3i weakness. The preferred seemed
to find plenty of buyers at about 71. ana
Oregon Transcontinental at aboat 60.
West Shore bonda were quite weak. At
the close the whole lie* was ranch stronger,
in fact almost booming, bat we cannot de
termine as yet whether a real advance has
