New YORK, Feb. Weakness character
lied the dealings on the exchange to-day,
and free selling of stocks continued with
!; hardly rally until the last hour. Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy and Union Pacific
were conspicuous, the former fell to 1.17M,
and the latter sold at 914. st. Paul was
very active. The falling off in earnings
continues to have its effect and it went be-
low 100 before midday. Nickel Plate pre-
ferred declined at one time to 90, a loss of
8 per cent, since last evening. The bulls
have been completely demoralized, and no
attempt appeared to be made by
them to stem the tide, the
market crumbled away without even as
sistance from the bears. The Vanderbilt
properties during all the commotion were
very well held. Delaware Il Lackawanna
was the feature among the coalers, and
lost on even per cent. for the day. Cen
tral Pacific did equally as well. The i'm
provement during the last hour may be
credited to the demand by the shorts
among the room traders, who were taking
their profits on lines put out during the
morning. There were no indications of
any important buying by the cliques.
Mr.. Keene was reported to be short
of between 100000 and 10000 shares
of stock. 1t was the impression in GER
tain quarters that general short interest
had been made during the past few days,
on cavoro1 Of 4ha 1oodincr
dicted that squeezing would take place,
particularly so far as the Northwest was
concerned. Mr.. Gould had been heavy
buyer of the general list. He remained a
decided bull and his brokers and friends
claimed that the market was never in bet
ter condition for rise. There had been
little dealing by the outside public. The
market is in the hands of traders and like
ly to remain there for some time.
A conservative house says: The market
is difficult to diagnose, and its future de-
pends entirely upon one or two bull opera
tors. 1t looks at the moment as if they
were in earnest in protecting their proper
ties, and as if they might force sharp
covering of shotrs,''
There has been also a good deal of talk
about conference between Mr.. Gould and
Mr.. Vanderbilt, at which it was agreed to
advance the general list. Some have taken
the ground that a bull movement, engi-
neered by Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Vanderbilt
was more likely to succeed than one in
spired by Mr.. Osborn and Mr.. Smith. The
bears cling to the proposition that for
every buyer there are nine sellers, and that
this shows lack of confidence against
which it Is useless for the bulls to strive.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. Mayor Stowell has
received letter from an Irish lady,
Mrs. Irwin, inquiring after her nephew,
John G. Ralston, who had written her con-
cerning property to which they were CO.
heirs. A GLOBE representative hunted up
the party referred to. He is foreman of B.
J. Johnson's soap and candle works, on
West Water street, and the reporter found
him at work there shortly before noon to-
day. He is a gentlemanly and intelligent
appearing man, about forty-ive years of
age. The reporter told him about the let
ter received by the mayor from Mrs. Irwin
and he at once admitted that he was the
party referred to in the letter. In answer
to reportorial questions he said it was
true that he expected to become, in COM
pany with the aunt who had written to the
mayor, the happy possesor of the fortune
of his supposed relative, valued at about
S3,000,000. He said he had just written to
his aunt and that she need have no fears
about his running away with the proceeds
of the estate. He came from Buffalo about
two years ago and has family to support.
He heard of the death of this relative,
SiIas Ralston, by the merest accident,
few years ago, Glasgow, Scotland, paper
having advertised for the heirs, and one of
the papers chanced to come into his pos
session. Knowing that some of his grand
fathers relatives went to Scotland a great
many years ago, from the north of Ire
land where his people lived, he was struck
with the idea that they must be related 20
his family as no other Ralstons lived in
Scotland. He therefore communicated the
fact to his uncle, James Ralston, of
Petrolia, Canada, who at once began to in
vestigate, sending man to Scotland and
Ireland to look the matter up. He says he
is positive that the deceased millionaires
father was his great grandfather, and that
in due course of time the family relation
ship will be fully established and the prop
erty fall into his own and his aunt's hands.
Mr.. Ralston said he was born in Newry,
Ireland, and came to this coun-
try about fifteen years ago. He
married and lived at various places
wherever fortune took him, and finally
came here from Buffalo. The estate has
been in the courts of Glasgow for ten
years, or ever since the relative died. The
estate. he says, has been well handled by
the officials and has been constantly in
creased in value.
