Wall street To-day.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The Posts financial ar
tlcle to-day says: The Stock Exchange markets
were more active than yesterday, or generally
lower. Government bonds however, are un-
changed, but the market is firm; the high
prices at which all are selling, notably the SIS
and 6's of 1SS0-'S1, should make certain large
offerings at the Treasury purchase next week.
Railroad bonds are strong for choice invest
ments, but speculative bonds are some
what lower in sympathy with specul.l-
tive stocks. The leading speculative
stocks continue to be Erie and Lake Shore.
The stocks most active after these two are
Wabash and Pacific, Kansas and Texas, the
coal stocks and Pacific mail. The last-named
has, at times. been strong. The largest decline
has been Chicago, st. Louis and New Orleans
stocks, which has fallen to 359 to BAN; the next
in New Central coal, which is down to 25, and
the next in Canada Southern, which is down
to 65A from 6s, at the closing yesterday
The bear speculation In this stock appears TO
have been founded on the recently published
statement OF the company. New York Central
II. stock is selling at l3lah, and Central Pacific
is selling at Stag. Pennsylvania coal has sold

The Doings at Harrisburg Xester-
daV.

The echoes from the Pennsylvania Republic
can convention are not entirely assuring TO Gen.
Grants friends, who now concede that he must
make a struggle for the nomination if he ex-
poets to lead the national ticket.
The Blaine men. ON the other hand, feel. or
so express themselves that In one sense l;s taey @
powerful influence of the Cameron machine
that the resolutions Of instruction for Grant
were carried only by 20 majority, is regarded by
them as anything but signal victory fof
Grant-a mere scratch, as it were.
VIM. E. Chandler thinks that Blaines friends
made only one mistake. He says that IL was
unwfse to have offered the amendment to
substitute Blaine's name for that of
Grants in the resolution of instructions. They
should have known that Blaine was In small
and hence should have withheld the amend
ment He thinks, too, that vote should have
been forced ON the reaftirmatton OF the anti
third term resolution adopted by the Pennsyl-
vania convention in 1875; Which for some IN
eXplicable reason was withdrawn.
Col Tom Keogh secretary OF the national re-
publican committee. arrived in this city CniS
morning from Harrisburg. He says it was
clean cut fight; that there was very little in the
way OF speeches. but a deal of hard work
done. He says yesterdays work clearly demon
strates that either Grant or Blaine Will get the
Presidential nomination. The action OF Gen.
Harry Bingham, Of Philadelphia, in training
with the Grant wing of the convention surprises
a great many OF Mr.. Blaines friends here. Up
W IIt tIllc VI DluSlLdlH ltdSltlS, City IN
Harrisburg he was counted upon as one Of Mr..
BlaiDe'S staunchest supporters.
The Grant men affect to feel jublant. They
say that New York viii follow in PeunSylvania'S
wake and instruct for Grant, and that the Grant
'.boom" Will then revive stronger than ever.
There are not a few, though, who feel diSap-
pointed that Cameron'S victory was not more
signal, and they admit that there Is danger OF
revolt in the Pennsylvania delegation unless
indeed, the Grant BOOM assumes proportions
more formidable than has yet been shown.
Senator Blaine himself feels reasonably con-
tented, it is said. He is too wise TO express any
views for publication but he is not unhappy by
any manner OF means.
one OF the On dts is that when Simon Cam
eronS nomination was before the Senate as
minister to Russia, that Secretary, then Senator
Sherman, voted against him. For this reason,
that Cameron pere, nor son will never support
Secretary Sherman, because the elder particu-
laTly has long memory and is good hater.
The Grant men say, too that Cameron will
never support Blaine because he believes that
the latter will never forgive him for having sold
him out in 1876 at Cincinnati. With Blaine
President, If he were disposed he could crush
the Cameron dynasty, and they are afraid
Blaine would do it and will take no risks

balance of his own account when he left the

he had drawn dividends, allowed upon the as
sets In this sum. The committee laid before
perts, which brought Tomkins in debt to the
bank in the sum of 81 1907. He was asked to ex-
plain and said that he must have deposited from
time to time covering the amount he seemed to
have overdrawn; he felt satisfied he had done
that. He was asked for his pass book, but
could not then produce it, and when the books
OF the bank were produced It was seen that one
page OF the journal having the entries of Tomp-
ktn's account upon it had been torn out. He is
to appear before the committee again to
explain if he can the discrepancy. C.
A. Fleetwood, another former kook-keeper Of
the bank, was sworn. He was shown that in
the account OF one Anderson, depositor, the
books credited him with all his deposits, but
had not charged him with s632 drawn out. Wit
ness said it was mistake OF his: that he had
more work in the bank than he could properly
attend to, and In the hurry had made the error.
