tho decline in stocks had gone further than
any element in the situation would war

policy of tho government might be with

had resulted in calling loans to large ex-

OHIoAao, Nov. pa better feeling has
prevailed in all the markets to-day. Wheat
is stronger tonight, oats hrmer, corn up
again, and even provisions appear to have
ceased their dowoward march. November
and year corn, which has been heavily
dealt in, show the improvement markedly.
The former is badly cornered both here
and in New York, and is bound to come up
dsspitet the efforts of the beers and whatever
may be done with the futures. The wheat
market during most of the day was steady,
and prices did not vary particularly from
yesterdays range, but closed shade strong
or. Trading was only of moderate
character and at times the
market ruled very quiet, with trading
mostly of local character. Receipts
smaller and shipments moderate. Prices
huctuated within range Of 80 and closed
about 4QHc better than yesterday. In
the afternoon prices held steady. Winter
was in fair request, with the market rather

steady. Before the close Of the day winter

street this afternoon is the rumof that Mr..
Gould has in contemplation new scheme
now in the shape of consolidation or
leases for bringing the Missouri Pacific,
Hannibal, st. Joe 4 Wabash, pmder
such control as will tend to the reduction
Of expenses and rebound to the peculiar
benefit Of each.s
The short interest Western Union is sup
posed to be the largest ever known. There
are only l30, 900 shares on the market, and
the short interest is estimated at $4,000,
one house alone being short A, GOO, another
$4,000 and another $4,000 shares. The
vigorous efforts of Mi. Gould and Mr.. Van
derbilt, who are both working in accord,
stemmed the fierce current of the bears,
and while they could notdissipate the I'M
settled tendency, seemed we'll satisfied that
no heavy break occurred.
One of the devices of the
bears was the dealing ont
Of score or more small lots of stock
in tens, fifteens, mines, twenties, twenty
fives, and fifteens, to give the impression,
no doubt, that small investors were scared,
and we're running out of the market. All
these lines piled out one after another, and
uselessly consumed about yard of tape.
Another device was to borrow large sums
of money and leave them at the bank to
force up the rate, money loaned at 20,
per cent. That is, the bulls say these
were bear devices.
&, The bulls keep up their courage. They
report cheerily that the suspension of the
steel and iron mills will be- only
temporary, and viii be of
inestimable benefit to the scores
Of railroads who have been waiting
for just such an opportunity to shake off
their old iron rails and indulge in the lux
ury of steel rails. Several roads are now
making heavy contracts with the mills for
steel rails at $40 ton. The Joliet mills
are said to have old contracts at $55@56
on hand that will keep them busy until
spring.
The Northwest situation presents no new
features of importance. The general
opinion is that the fight is too hot to last.
Representatives of the roads engaged
speak as if long contest was to be ap-
pretended, but the indications are the
other way. As far as can be learned
there has been no making
of large contracts at low rates. Unless
the war is speedily checked fresh compli-
cations may arise that viii prove ruinous.
Already are heard mutterings from the di
visions between Chicago and Omaha, be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City, and from
the southwestern system.
The east bound freight agents, in an at
tempt to equalize matters and countsrbai-
ance the loss on rates between Chicago
and st. Paul, and Omaha and Chicago
have determined to raise east bound
rates. They hope by the low freight rates
by the warning roads to start the crops
eastward in spite of the high east rates,
and to make the through rate far below
the old schedule. So strong is the feeling
against the Omaha management, that it
was currently reported that al application
would be made, to-day, to the attorney
general of Wisconsin, by certain stock
holders of the road, for the removal of the
directors for alleged breach of trust, on
the ground that they are squandering the
earnings Of the company for their self

trouble will be that the Omaha road will

It Minneapolis.


Another important turn was made in the
railroad war IN Minneapolis yesterday
that Is. important to Minneapolis. It was
the cut on rates Of shipping wheat to Chi
cago from tho former price of twenty
cents per 100 pounds down to Ave cents.
This was made BY the Omaha road. Hith-
erto the cut has been confined to the ship
ments of -four and mill stuffs. It is re-
ported that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul railway and the Rock Island railway
will come down to that figure this morn
ing. The next move of the Omaha rail
way is awaited with considerable in
terest. The effect upon the milling
interests Of the city, the leading
industry, is most disastrous. The price
Of what Will rise and the farmers and spec
ulators will send it directly into the marts
of Chicago and the miliers will be obliged
to suspend operations when their present
supply is fully exhausted. A peculiar fea-
ture in this cut is the fact that the Omaha
folks refused to give assurances that the
cut to five cents per 100 pounds on wheat,
flour and mill stuffs would be continued
longer than yesterday. This fact prevent
ed spectators from venturing in any i'm
portant transactions or deals in wheat yes
terday, and consequently prices were not
affected.

THE CYCLONE OF SUNDAY.
Devastation and Destruction at Mar
tins Ferry.

Shortly after noon on Sunday a heavy
rain fall occurred in this locality, but it
was unaccompanied by violent winds.
The leaden clouds to the north and east,
the vivid lightning, and the thunder
crash told of the raging storm close at
hand. The mercury fell fifteen degrees
in as many minutes. 1t was little less
than tornado which spent its force in
Martins Ferry and vicinity.
The Register reporter says of it, that
the little city seemed totally enveloped
by the tornado, which burst over it
about two P. NJ. with all its fury. Its
shock was terrific, trees went down be-
fore it like toys, houses shook and trem-
bled on their foundations,g great buildings
and factories rocked and trembled like
aspens, and for little time, almost SEEM
ed falling, SO great was their oscillla-
tions. Never was anything in the shape
of an elemental warfare given this city
such visitation, and never do our citi-
zens wish to see a repetition of the
scenes of Sunday. The cheek of the
strongest man blanched, and the shrieks
OF women and children were dreadful
to hear. For a quarter of an hour the
fury of the cyclone was upon us, and
for nearly an hour did the storm prevail.
The damage was very great. being es-
timated at $4,000. In Clark's addition
about 100 feet of the wall of new found

The Coming Circus.

A good first-class show always merits
public patronage; the promises and
pledges administered in advance are not
always to be relied on but the unbiased
press critic is a most sincere guide.
Read then what the Hon. G.. w. Tippet,
of Pt. Pleasant CIV. Va.) Register has
to say of Miles Orton's Great Shows:
"When we say that Orton's Circus was
the best Circus that ever exhibited in
our town, we but voice the opinion of
all our people. The performance of AL
lie and Bernard, the four and five years
old midgets were truly wonderful, and
well worth the price of admission. The
leaper who does the double somersault
over fourteen horses, is Mr.. James King
cade-a daring and most difficult feat.
The Brother act by Lorendo Brothers
and Richards and Fitz is something en-
tirely new. The jokes and smart retorts
of Field, the clown, made him the fa-
vorite of the large crowd assembled
The Circus is worthy the patronage of
the people wherever it may exhibit"
We are to be treated to a visit from
this Great Show, which will positively
spread its immense canvas at st. Clairs.

Miles Orton's Circus.

Charles W. Pegg, Esq, the able editor
of the Batavia (O) Courier, after seeing
the Orton show entire, is led to strongly
endorse the great show in recent edi-
torial in his paper, as follows:
"Miles Orton's Circus was greeted by
large audiences, Who were enthusiastic
in praise of its excellence, many pro-
nouncing it the best performance ever
in Batavia. We found the agents geni-
al, clever gentlemen, exactly on the dot
in the fulfillment of contracts, and
pleasant in the transaction of business
All who see Orton's show will be salts
fed with it, and bestow upon it just
need of praise"
The show has been greatly enlarged
and improved since last season and the
menagerie now is very complete, con-
tanning many rare and valuable features
The usual Street Parade will be giver
in the forenoon, and all those who woulC
not miss sight will be early on the
ground at st. Clairsville, on Friday, Ju
