How IT Was DoSE.-The San Fran
cisco Alta Of Thursday thus tells some
thing about how the bears got the best
Of the stock market:
Notwithstanding that the accounts
from the mines are OF the best charac'
ter there have been ind%ustriously circu'
lated minors, one that the Wine In boz
low the lG0O-foot level in the CONSOLE
dated Virginia. had got through ore
another, that one Of the drifts was In
porphyry. These falsehoods, amid sew
erai others, we're traced to the agent ol
n Bear combination. IL appears tina
some chronic Bears formed n combina'
ton to depress the market. particularly
California and Consolidated Virginia.
Az one Of the means to this end they
sent M n Of their old employees to
pick flaws in the Consolidated Virgins
and California. and. as none could be
be found, the falsehoods mentioned
were made to do duty. Meanwhile
stocks had been borrowed and thrown
upon the market. and blowing agents
were dispersed over il urging people "a
sell, aud swearing that the Blank
crowd is smashing the market" II
was Justly calculated that n good deal
OF the strength Of the market was due
to the remarkable bonanza in Consoli.
dated Virginia, and IL faith in that could
be shaken the whole list would tumble.

rnE RAILRoND rgNcE Hill.

Following will DO found q bill which
has elected much discussion and sngen-
dsred soms sharp language. 1t was in-
troduced in the Assembly BY Mr.. j. p.
Smith Of Storey county. passed that
body BY . vote OF forty-ops to two, and
IL now before the Senate. We think 1t
ought to pass. II only for the reason of
compelling the Central Pacific Railroad
Company to put some property in the
State which is valuable for taxable pur-
poses. The same theory adopted in
submitting railroad property for val
uation and assessment might perhaps
fail whom applied to n fence. The Gen.
trial Pacific Railroad claims before
Boards Of Equalization that its rail-
road Ia worth per mile only wha. the
iron and ties, II separated from each
other and each mile from every other
mile Of the road. would DO worth. We
would like to know II they would
also claim, wers this fence construct
cd. that its only value was that
Of each separate board or post for luin-
Der or hrswood. Farmers pay taxes on
the improvements to their property; all
real estate owners do likewise. Per-
haps in this view Of the case it would be
possible To obtain some revenue from
the G. p. X. X. ii being estimated that
to fence that road in the State OF Ne
vada will cost q million OF dollars. II
1t cost a million il might possibly be
worth five or sir thousand dollars for
taxable purposes. Here is the bill. and
IL II will not injurs any citizons OF Ne
vada who pay taxes ON what their prop
srty is worth. We hope it will pass the
Senate. be approved by the Governor
and become a law.
SECTION I. Every person, or persons
or corporation owning and operating
any railroad in this State, who shall not
within six months after the passage Of
this Act, construct and maintain n good
and substantial fence upon each side OF
such railroad, sufficient to turn or
binary domestic animals. except hogs.
with cattle crossings at snch intervals
and at such points rs the Commission
err of the county through which such
railroads shall pass shall indicate and
direct, shall. II any such domestic ami.
mails, except hogs, be killed or injured
by the engine or cars upon any railroad
tact not fenced as aforesaid when they
stray ~thereupon. the owner or owners OF
such railroad shall pay the owner or
owners Of such animal n fair compensa-
tiop for the loss sustained by the injury
or killing Of such animal. and the same
NAV DO recovered by suit in any Court
Of competent jurisdiction.
SEC. 3. The points where such cross
incs shall be constructed shall DO desis-
mated At the regular quarterly meetings
Of said Board, and shall be constructed
BY the companies or corporations so Or
dsrsd 70 construct the same, within
thirty DAYS from the date OF the passage
Of the order. The Road Master Of the
section or division OF said road in which
such crossing IL ordered shall be notified

says:
Tho stock market turned to-day and
became very strong. As we mentioned
yesterday, the Bear combination, who
have borrowed and sold q good deal OF
stock, begin to see the handwriting on
the wall. The stocks OF weak holders
have been borrowed and sold down to
low figures. and many have been cleaned
cat. The low figures brought in strong
buyers, and now that the shorts seek TO
cover they hnd stock scarce. II every
man interested in stocks would see that
they are not loaned out. or are promptly
returned, tho Bear party would growl
with sore heads. II Is the custom with
brokers who are weak to pretend to carry
stocks for clients on margins when they
do no such thing. but either lend the
stock for somo one else to sell or take
the risk and sell II themselves. In case
they lend the stock they get tho money
without interest and charge the client
who owns the stock 1903 per cent.
per month. Suppose these brokers have
ten customers who each hold 100 shares
Of say California, the broker will loan
300 shares. and having 100 shares
on hand. will tell zach customer that
he holds his stock. This the law does
not allow. however. and dealers should
insist upon the stock. In that case, the
Bears. having parted with their own,
would encounter close quarters. Like
the devil. they would find they went for
wool and got shorn. Something like
this manifested itself this morning.
The Bears arc tome thousand shares
short OF California and made sham quo.
tations, as low Ms S270. on tho street.
In the Board the stock jumped to 1926
bid ut the close. The end IL not yet.
The advices from California state that
the cross-cut No. 3. 100 feet north OF
the Consolidated Virginia line, and
which has bssu daily expecting to

ing from the Consolidated Virginia. IN
tered 1t yesterday in very rich ore, thus
establishing the immense yaluo OF the
California mine. IL has the ore now
laid open 800 feet wide and over 100 feet
north. The Consolidated Virginia to-
day sent down 800. 900. making Si55,.
900 since dividend day. 1t comes now
at the rate Of $500, 900 per month. A
private dispatch from the Ophir states
that the mine il improving every foot in

making desperate efforts to save them
selves, and two or three may break to-
morrow.

Business Outlook

The financial reporter of the ~. J. Herald takes rather encouraging view of business affairs. He says trade journals. represent ing various industries, conincide in such anticipations of improvement. This is especially true of New England, and it is predicted that the 1st of April, which is so largely settlement day throughout that section, will usher in period of great activity. The merchandise markets present hopeful aspects, and the increased demand for money is unmistakable. In many of the towns of Massachusetts factories are reported as running on extra time. In the West farmers arc in much better condi- ton than was generally supposed, while the reports of many of the railroads of that section show increased earnings. It is said that tho business of the last week shows a decided improvement on that of the week before, although buyers continue to restrict their purchases to the supply of necessities. In the produce markets especially higher rates have prevailed, and trade has been stimulated on foreign account. The trade in cereals is reported as much better than at any time slpce last fall. Referring to the business of the railroads the Bulletin, in a review of the situation, remarks that the net earnings, so far from showing redue- ton under the effects of the panic, exhibit an increase.
