NEW YORK, Nov. 27.--The holiday did
not help matters in Wall street, and to-day
has been one of the dullest of the season,
with prices as general thing trifie low
or, and in some cases much more than
trihe. Manitoba fell from 1904 to 964
during the morning.
During the afternoon hours the attend
ance OF brokers was small. The Northern
Pacifcs we're weak and lower, especially
the preferred. The earnings during the
third week Of November are re.
ported rs showing an increase
of S136 600. Manitoba for same
time gained 5000 and Omaha $500.
Tns quotations on Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy are ex-dividend of 2 per cent, and
on Delaware & Hudson 12l per cent. All
appear to be awaiting the result of the
pool meeting tomorrow. The best observ-
ers think that there Is no hope of renewed
activity until some action is taken by COL
gress. This would postpone any movement
in stocks until after the holidays, as there
is no probability of important action of
congress before that time. The run of
gossip was rather against any improvement
in values. The main arguments against
an advance in the market were the in
creasing commercial disturbances and the
labor trouble, which together were keep
ing outsiders from buying. The Twenty
third street traders, the Windsor bears and
the Osborne Scott party all talk confident,

Cos put out in Missouri Pacific last week

it is immensely oversold in the exaggerat-
ed reports of decreased earnings. Three

keene also remains great believer in
Chicago & Northwestern, and declares that
but for the Iowa pool troubles an extra

week. The trunk line people point with

it is stated that it was mainly to the il

A Rotten Vessel.

BOSTON. Nov. 27.-The Aduertiser says
the United States steamer Shenandoah is
lying in the stream off the navy yard
awaiting orders to sail. She is not likely
to secure full com mplement of officers, for
almost every officer who is ordered to her
at once endeavors to be relieved. Sea
men DO not like the prospect of going
''round the Horn in this vessel and their
feelings are greatly intensified by the ac-
ton of the officials. The sailers claim the
vessel is top heavy and they are crowded
together like sheep. Yesterday the ex-
ecut1ve officer of the ship, Lieut.. Commo-
dore E. B. Thomas and Lieut.. Lucien HIM
we're surveyed by the medical officer and
upon his report they probably will be
relieved. They have only been here
about week and their probable removal
only makes matters worse on the minds OF
the sailors.

head, still dealers were disposed to ask an
advance for the better family and bakers
brands because of having light stocks to
work from. Rye -four steady. Buck
wheat -four was cutie dull. Bran and all
millstuffs were ready sale and at firm
prices.
Under the influence of a decidedly
stronger hog market the opening of the
market for hog products exhibited con-
siderable activity and prices were rapidly
advanced on all the leading descriptions
during the early part of the day.
Tuesday was unusually heavy and the COM
petition for the speculative offerings were
very sharp at times. About the middle of
the session weaker feeling set in and
prices gradually receded to medium figures.
Later the market rallied to outside figures
and the improvement was well maintained
to the close. The shipping demand was
moderate, the extreme prices demanded
greatly checking business. Foreign ad-
vices showed weaker feeling in pork,
which was quoted at 1c lower,
but lard and bacon were
stronger and Cd higher. Eastern markets
were frmer and prices more favorable to
sellers. The receipts of products were
larger and the shipments of all kinds were
unusually heavy, the latter attracting con-
siderable attention.
In mess pork an unusually heavy busi-
ness was transacted in the market, and the
feeling was greatly unsettled and prices
fiuctuated wildly, rendering speculative
trading qnite unsatisfactory. Offerings
were liberal and the demand very active,
with trading mainly in the deferred de-
l1veries. The market opened stronger
and prices 2O@30c higher, which was
gradually followed by further improve
ment of 30@40c. Later reduction OF
15@20c was Isubmitieds to, and then
the market rallied 3O@ 35c, and closed
steady. Shipping demand steady. On
call pork was actively called for, and Of
ferings were very free. Prices were much
firmer and 5@15c higher. Trading was
very heavy and about evenly divided
among the options.
In lard liberal business was done, and
at generally advancing prices. The ship
ping demand was restricted,
buyers refusing to follow the
advance so that the trade was almost Who'll
ly speculative. From the closing yesteI-
day 20 the highest point reached to-day
the advance marks soc per 100 pounds
and closed at an advance of 4716@ SOC.
Cash was dull at q shade above November
for new, while old was dull at November
prices. On call lard was in active request
and offerings liberal with prices 5@10c
higher.
Rather mora was doing in the market
for short RIB sides but chiefly on specula-
tive account. Prices were at an advance
of 30@40o per 100 pounds
and the appreciation was
moderately well supported. Cash
in light request. On call the demand was
active and prices 5@121ac higher. Sales
were confined to January and February.
S. A. Kent was credited yesterday with
being large buyer of May corn. He not
only denied the soft impeachment, but
said he thinks the total yield of corn will
prove to be nearly equal to that of 1882,
while there is certainly more old corn on
hand now than twelve months ago.

WINNIPEG. Nov. 27.-A correspondent of
the GLOBE at the end of the Canadian Pa
cifc railroad track in the rockies, gives
glowing account of the stories Of mineral
wealth IN these hitherto unknown regions.
He says that among those men brought into
the mountains ty the railway company
were hundreds who had seen aud worked
in the rich gold and silver districts in the
northwest territories. These men at once
declared that the mountains in the viciu
ity OF the Bow and Kicking
Horse rivers as well as many
mailer streams ought to contain both gold
and silver. Leads have been discovered
and claims staked out in every direction. E.
Castle mountain is said TO be an almos
solid mass of silver ore. Among other
places where promising leads have been
found are Johnson's and Bakers creeks,
while some which are considered the best
discovered are situated in the Kicking
Horse pass and are owned by the Tunnel
Mountain Mining company. Samples of
the ore have been sent to Montreal for as
say, and the returns show them to be very
rich. The gold ore is mostly free milling
and they say that they have enough of /!
to make all the northwest rich.

New YORK, Nov. 27.-I was present last
evening at talk between two persons
having large interests in the northwest.
One of them was trader in Montana. said
to make $2,50O,0O0 worth of sales every
year and to keep numerous establishments.
He said the Northern Pacific railway would
do a large business, and that there were
no poor men on the line;
that the population through
which the road passed, however
small were among the most independent in
the world. He said that the railroad had
good business all the way. 1t started in
Minnesota and Dakota with wheat, then
entered the grazing country, then came
into fine mining region, passed through
300 miles of splendid timber in Idaho, and
finally reached the Pacific among the rich
farmers of the Willamette and Oregon val
leys. He said the sleeping cars on the
Northern Pacific railroad since
they had been running made
33 per cent. more money than on the Union
Pacific. showing that well-to-do people
took the trains. He said everybody on
the line of road was trying to strike the
place which would grow like Denver. My
informant thought it would be place
called Missoula. He said one town in
Montana, I think it was called Butte, paid
hundreds of thousands of dollars in wages
every month-to miners 1 suppose.
I inquired from another person in a
position to know aoout, the financial oper-
ations of the Northern Pacific people. Ny
friend said: s'The management of the
Northern Pacific has become very close,
probably being hard up. They have stop
ped expenditures in almost every direc-
ton. Horace White lost 100000 by the
depreciation of his stocks.
