Especial Telegram to the Globe.
New YORK, Nov. 16.-On the stock ex-
change to-day the bears had it all their
cwn way at the opening, and it was nearly
noon before any attempt at rally was
made. There has been come good buying
OF st. Paul & Northwestern by insiders.
and we are inclined to believe that it will
be difficult task to depress these stocks
much below present figures. Wabash was
sold this morning by its friends, who re-
port that the road is having rather hard
time of it. During the closing hour Del
aware & Lackawanna, Western Union, and
Northern Pacific preferred were
in demand. Denver sold be-
low 4S, and was passed for sale.
The bears were occupying the rear seats
when business ceased. Exchange is report
ed as down to shipping point. We look
for higher prices. All impression prevails
that the TwentA Athird street party and the
Mills party were detected realizing yester-
day, which they thought warranted heavy
short sales. The borrowing demand was
much stronger this morning, and there has
been no hesitation in attacking unsupport-
ed stocks. Vanderbilt houses have tie IN
free sellers on the Northwest siiua-
ton, which is considered no better.
The Keenes following has sold the list, and
ties. Mr.. Heath is understood to have
been large borrower of stocks.
There is good deal of talk about a new
bull hoot in Louisville & Nashville. Some
of the old friends of the stock are said to
have been led by the large earnings and by
eight points on the bull side.
Bearish points in Denver have been
given with unwonted confidence. tits esti.
mated that the attack will come from
Keene sources, but bears cannot expect
much of a turn, as they advise
buying at 4S. The German interest is not
bearish on Denver, although credited with
heavy selling. The drift of affairs devel
oped the fact that there had been consider.
| able realizations yesterday on the ad-
vance, and the room traders were not slow
to take advantage of this. Rumors unfa
vorable to the Canada Southern lease were
circulated, while in connection with the
Western railroad complications the reviva
of the reports that the status of the New
York, Chicago & st. Louis road was likely
to cause trouble in the trunk line pool. anG
the fact that there was less bull support
than on yesterday assisted the downward
movement in prices. The only news to af
feet prices is the order of the commission

Ting committee listened to evidence as to
the fair cash value of property, and to-day
reported that it was worth on Sept 80,
$1O2. The committee did not do much
moro than split the difference between the
market price and what the shorts consid-
| cred to be the true value. There were two
reports, and the minority disclaimed the
presenting of any evidence showing that
the market value was the figures at which
sales we're made on that day (Sept. SO).

DR.. Frank H. Hamilton has sent in a bill
of $4,000 for professional service rem
dered the late President Garfield. Accom-
panying tits a letter addressed to Judge
Lawrence, of the board of audit, in which
the writer says:
In the presentation of claim which
know cannot be paid out of the sum of
money ($35, 800 placed at your disposal
by congress, my intention is only to indi-
cate to you what would regard as the
minimum of compensation for similar SER
vices in the case of private citizen who
was pecuniarily responsible and who would
not be embarrassed by such payment.
The doctor is entitled to credit for his
candor. His words are simply an admis-
sion that the amount of his bill is deter
mined; not solely by the intrinsic value of
the service. but regard for the financial
ability of the patient as well. If he were
to perform an operation on a man worth
100000 and charge him $500 for it, he
would charge millionaire for the same
operation, say $1,000. This would seem to
be warning to Jay Gould and William H.
Vanderbilt TO avoid railroad accidents.
