WALL STREET.
Stock Still Somewhat Unsettled
Newport News Looming Up.

NEW YORK, November 19.-The
stock market is still somewhat unset
tied, awaiting Boston developments.
Some prominent houses yesterday sold
favorite Boston securities before Wall
street genenerly heard Of the Pacific
Bank trouble.
Arrangements are being perfected
for a large grain business at Newport
News. In addition to the facilities
provided by the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad several private elevators are
to be built. There will be daily line
of steamers to the principal Northern
Seaports and as many vessels for
European ports as the business de-
mands.
A good borrowing demand is re.
ported for Lake Shore, Union Pacific,
Wabash and Pacific Mail. London
and Amsterdam bought securities
yesterday. st. Paul & Northwestern
is still the fayOrite with the bullish
persuasion. The railroad commission
ers of North Carolina have granted
the Richmond and DanVille people the
necessary time to complete the West
ern North Carolina road. The East
Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia rail-
road has ordered two thousand addi-
tioual new freight cars. The North
ern Pacific company contemplates the
sale Of large tract Of land eighty
miles west Of Bismsrck to an English
company. The bank statement to-
day will probably show a loss in the
reserve fund.
II A. M.-The stock market opened
extremely Irregular and was feverish
and unsettled in the early dealings. At
the first board a heavy pressure to sell
was developed, under the influence oi
which the entire list recorded a SHARP
decline. NJ, L., S. and Western selling
off at 2; Peoria, Decatur and Evans,
vile II, Texas Pacific Il, and Contra
Pacific, Cincinnati Southern, Cleve
land, Denver, Rio Grande and Nor
folk, and Western preferred, at each
Wheat quiet, but / to l higher.

HEAVY RAINS.
Fourteen Trains Behind Time at
SC. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, November 19.-Up to
nine o'clock this morning only one
passenger train has arrived at the
Union depot, instead of the fifteen
usually arriving by that hour. The
heavy rains of yesterday and last night
have washed out the road-beds and
inflicted damage on almost every road
running into this city. The Chicago
g. Alton and indianapolis & St. Louis
trains we're abandoned. The trains
on the Illinois Central, Keokuk 4 St,
Louis and Vandalia & indianapolis
railroads are indefinitely delayed. AL
the other trains we're from 4 to s
hours late. The trains on the Chicago
q Alton, Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy and Wabash, which left here
last night for Chicago, we're forced tC
return on account of the.impassablt
washouts. Railroad communication
between st. Louis and Chicago is prac'
tically cut off.

AGITATION ruledin New York stocks
and finances yesterday because of the
suspension of the Pacific National
Bank of Boston, the capital of which
is 81 100000, four-ffths paid up The
Central Bank OF the same city was in
trouble, the Pacific clearing through
it, and both banks are said to have
become involved by reason Of advances
on Silver Islet mining stock and low
priced railway shares carried by spec
ulators. This financial disturbance
in Boston is expected to cause liberal
drafts of money from New York, also
cause large quantities of Boston owned
stock to be put on the New York mar
ket for sale. The New York stock
market closed weak last evening il
consequence of the disturbance.

Editor Evening Ledger;

DEAR SIR: l trust you will give
mo space in your valuable paper to
correct an erroneous impression which
has gained considerable circulation
from an article published in your

Squabble.
l take pleasure In stating that l
have never loaned $165 or any other
sum of money to +. V. Simmons, Esq
or L. B. Simmons, the Eastern to,
bacco drummer, alluded to in said
article. Neither have l ever in my
life received watch of any kind from
him as collateral or in pledge OF
otherwise to secure the payment oi
any sum Of money whatever, as er.
roneously stated. Neither have | evel
received note, or draft of any kind,
or for any amount from +. Y. Sim
mons, given for gambling considera-
ton, nor for any other consideration
whatever.
l deem it proper to make this sim
pie correction in justice to Mr.. Sim
mons as we'll as myself.

DEATH OF II. v. REDFIELD
A Noted correspondent Sue
cumbs at Washington.

Special to the Cincinnati Commeroial.l
WASHINGTON, November H.-Mr,
II. V. Redfeld, who for four years
past has been at the head Of the Com
mercial's bureau at Washington, died
at 1885 clock tonight, of quick con-
sumption. Something over a year ago,
Mr.. Redfeld was taken with a hemor-
rhage of the lungs, but continued his
duties in Washington until the last
summer, when, under his physician S
advice, he gave up his work and re-
tired to a pleasant home in Eastern
Pennsylvania, in the hope of regaining
his failing health. He returned to
Washington in September last, some
what better, but still unable to en-
tirely resume his former work.
On the 9th inst. Mr.. Redfeld suf
fered a second hemorrhage which
greatly prostated him, and he took tC
his bed, never again to rise. He he'd
none Of the symptoms Of ordinary
consumption, and, although his ply.
sician pronounced his case as exceed
ingly critical, his immediate relatives
believed his life would be prolonged
for year at least.
On Wednesday Mr.. Redfeld seemed
somewhat improved, although very
weak. He asked a friend to procure
him two volumes of biography, which
be said he hoped to read during his
illness. This morning Mr.. Redfeld
was much more Frustrated, for much
of the time he was unconscious, and
suffered no pain whatever. When
aroused from the stupors into which
he fell he was perfectly conscious Of
all his surroundings. His friends
now saw that the end was near, and at
7:35 pm. Mr.. Redfeld quietly ceased
to breathe.
H. V. Redfeld was born in Eden,
Erie county. New York, December
%, 1912. His father died when he
was four years old, and his mother,
though confirmed invalid, still sur
wives him. At an early age young
Red6eld was taken to Tennessee tC
live, and was apprenticed to learn the
printing business in the Winchester
Home journal. He had not quite
finished his trade when the war broke
out, and the Federals occupied Win
chester He went to Jasper, wherI
| his mother lived. Prospering in hi
calling, Mr.. Redfeld volunteered som,
letters to the Cincinnati Commercial
| lie was then studying law in Chatta
nooga. The editor Of the CONNER
cial, quick to see the writer's talent
commissioned him as a special cor
respondent, and sent him through tn
South. Writing of him at this tim
the editor of the Commercial said i
his paper I'VE value Mr.. Red6eld a
a correspondent because he is a disin
terested truth teller. His judgment i!
no doubt, sometimes at fault, but hi
statements of facts are thorougly rell
able. We vouch for him, not as
partisan. but as an honest man.
Mr.. Redfeld's most conspiouou
newspaper work was done during tn
: Mississippi campaign in 1876, anC
upon the Northern Pacific Railroa
job. 900
Mr.. Redfeld was married in 1873
Miss Hamlin, of Smithport, McKeal
county, Pa. He leaves wife an
three children.
Mr.. Redfeld's body will be taken t
: Pennsylvania for interment to-mor
row.

The population of Memphis is now
estimated at 1920, of this number
q 800 being whites, and 1880 col
ored-that is to say, there are two
whites to one colored. Yet the NOR
tuary reports published from week to
week show large excess in numbers
of colored people over the whites.
The per centago per thousand is not
far from two to one. This can be ex-
planned easily enough ~ The col
ored people take less care Of them
selves aud Of each other; they live
often in damp, unventilated little
houses, and eat cheap, impure food
and (2) the population is
constantly recruited from the inte
rior and up and down the river
Memphis is the Mecca for the coloreC
folks. They come in here at certain
seasons of the year by the multitude
They come by river, by steamboats,, il
wagons, and on foot. They alway
find friends from their own neighbor
hood, and when their money is spen
they board around as best the.
can, and often sleep in expose'
places with but little to aeat
Some few get work 10 do but they ar
not always looking for it. The expos
ure Of such life soon brings on sick
ness and it is therefore no wonder tina
the death rate is SO high among tia
class. The servants who have goo
situations and the more thrifty part q
the permanent colored popuulatio
get off better.

A Cloud Lifted from a Troubled
Broker.

BosroN, November 19.-Theodore
Q. Weeks, the broker indebted 10 the
Pacific Bank, was in financial trouble
a few months ago on account Of the
sudden collapse of Boston, Hartford
and Erie bonds, in which he was
largely interested, but after making
arrangements with his creditors again
appeared on the street and, it is un-
derstood, made his losses good by sub
senuent advance Of the bonds.
