NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-The market opened
dull and featureless with talk in the street
20 per cent; that there was to be sharp
squeeze in Northwestern, and that Lacka-
wanna was purchase for a big advance dur
ing the next hour Woerishoffer brokers
were sellers of st. Paul; Cammack brokers
were buying it. Union Pacific loaned at
3-16 and then at q, for use, and the market
had the appearance of gaining in tone and
strength. Northern Pacific preferred loaned
at 1-64. UnionP aciic and Lackawanna con-
tinued strong up to the noon hour, the latter
selling as high as 1899. From this time un-
til the finish there was rapid decline. st.
Paul, Northwestern, Union Pacific.
Lackawanna, Lake Shore and Pullman were
very active with large transactions. Near
the close it was reported that McGinnis Bros.
& Fearing had failed and this precipitated
matters. 1t was also said that Vanderbilt
was a seller. 1t has been a battle Of no
small magnitude to-day, with the bears the
victors in most instances. In Delaware &

would not down, but scored an advance OF
about 2 per cent. Pullman Palace was raid
ed again and touched even lower figures than
on Saturday. The grangers were depressed:
Northwestern slipped off point
early-the earning for the second
week in February showing an increase of
500, 900, which is not so favorable as the pre-
vious week. The business of the Reading is
reported as very gratifying, but the stock was
very quiet to-day. Canada Southern was a
weak failure at the last, and it was difficult to
discover any great amount of strength in any
quarter. Delaware ~ Lackawanna was down
also to about the starting point, the last quo
tation on Pullman was 10355. Manhattan
Elevated made its usual daily gain Of 2 per
cent. The declines have been quite
serious in many cases, and the feeling
became somewhat feYerish as the day wore
on. Prices of most of the leading stocks
were at the lowest when the market closed.
st. Paul earnings for the second week of
February decreased $22, 1000. Reports from
the flooded districts were everything but en-
couraging and had good deal to do with the
disturbance in Wall street.

THE DANVILLE TRIAL.
Some Amusing Evidence Adduced at
the Examination.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The Danville in
vestigation was resumed. Hense Lawson,
colored, whose fight with Noel preceded the
riot, and Davis Lewelyn, colored, told the
story of the preliminary quarrel substan-
TALLY as related by the colored witnesses last
week.
Jno. F. Carl, superintendent of the ma
tional cemetery, Danville, described the riot
He noticed q number of white men in the

arms in the hands of the colored men and

stand on the corner and shoot several times
at the retreating blacks.
Mrs. Violet Keeling, coIored, saw Blunt
fire.
Senator Vance-"Are any colored people
in your county Democrats?''
Witness-"Well, don't hunt that sort.
If hear colored man votes the Democratic
ticket, dom hab nothin' to do wild him, and
l dom let him come in my house. I dom
like to see colored man sell himself, no.
how. tink if colored man votes de Dem
ocratic ticket he already sold hisself.
OeHdIOi faHCe-Nell, WueH d Wulte man
votes Republican ticket, do you think he sells
himself?
Witness:-'I'll just tell yer what T tink,
he's man watts got sense and knows wat
he's doin'.-
Senator Vance,-"Well supposing your
husband should vote the Democrat ticket?'
Witness, ''I'll just tell you wat, would
just pack up my close and go to my fader,
and if didn't hab no fader, I'd just go to
work for twenty-five cents week to support
my own self.'
J. G. Miller, white, testified, the whites
were in danger of being mobbed by the
blacks, when they fired. Adjourned.

THE BRITISH GRAIN MARKET.

LONDON, Feb. 1S.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press, in its review of the British grain trade
for the past week says: Mild, spring-like
weather favored the saving of beans and peas,
and preparations to SOW spring grain crops
are being rapidly made. The autumn sown
crops look exceedingly well. Trade in the
nature of wheat has not improved. Flour
rather cheaper, and other articles have not
altered in prices. Foreign wheat is mani
mate and unimproved. Trade in Liverpool
is dull, and white wheat is weaker, and flour
unchanged Cargoes off the coast are not
improved. Fourteen arrivals and four sales
five withdrawn, and seven remain, including
five California. Cargoes on the passage and
for shipment are lifelcss.
Nothing doing in American red winter
wheat. The sales of English wheat for the
past week, 5,212 quarters at BIS. and 3D.,
against SO, 121 quarters at Ais. for the cores
ponding week of last year.

fewer good hogs being on sale than for. "a
week past Quite a number were left over
unsold.
The receipts of sheep were about 1000
more than on last Monday, but the quality
was much better and there was a fair de-
mand for good to choice, fine or coarse
wooled, but either had to be fat to command
good prices. Messrs. Swift & Armour bid
high for couple of extra lots that made
s6.1215 and 1918, the highest price for some
time. Fair to medium were rather slow.
The demand is mainly from local dealers.
Poor and common stock is plenty and slow.
Prices on all except the few mentioned about
the same as last week.

A Big Mortgage.

HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. 1S.-The registra-
ton of ten million dollar mortgage in the
offices of forty different town clerks in di-
rect line across the state awakens considera-
BILE interest. The mortgage in question is
made by the Bankers and Merchants Tele-
graph company, who, though possessing no
lines of their own in this state, thus cover
the lines of the American Rapid Telegraph
company, recently acquired by them by the
exchange of S3,O0O,000 in their bonds,
based on this mortgage. In this state
chattel mortgages are permanent, but the
law makes this important provision regard
this class of property. The chattel mortgages
are of no force against creditors or subse-
quent purchasers, unless the mortgaged
property is put into actual and continued
possession of the mortgage. A thorough
Investigation of this particular transaction is
not unlikely.
Minister Hunt, at st. Petersburg, is sup
posed to be fatally i'll, SO much so, indeed,
that Mrs. Hunt telegraphs to Washington for
his son to come at once, and he left Wash
ington on Saturday for st. Petersburg.

Eadsr Greatest Project.

While Capt. Eads has promised Tor
n consideration to give Galveston deep
water, he has by no means relaxed his
interest in his greatest engineering
project, the construction of the Tehu-
antepec ship railway. He is now In
England and his enterprise Is being
subjected TO the most careful consid-
GRAFTON by capitalists there, Working
models have been constructed and
Eads invites rigid analysis of his
theory. AS q result of this the news
comes from England that his plan is
deemed entirely feasible, and the chief
topic of discussion now is the cost. III
is altogether probable that he will
succeed in enlisting the requisite cap
ital and iuaugnrate the work. lie
Lesseps is building the Panama
canal and If he lives will complete it.
He is backed by continental capital,
mainly from France, and if Eads
builds his ship railway he, too, will he
supported by foreign capital. Two
isthmian routes will connect the At
lantic and Pacific, and foreign bond
holders, and consequently govern
ment9, will control the great passage
ways. After all the American talk
and buster about the Monroe doctrine
this government has set with folded
hands and seen foreigners inaugurate
these great enterprises. If John Bull
furnishes Eads money to build the
ship railway, il may be set down as
pretty well assured that John Bull
will look after his investment, and
in the course Of time ii will come to
pass that the control OF these high
ways will be live question. VIII
