weaker to-day under heavy realizing, but in
pursuance of the plans of bull manipulators
the market continued without reaction
until after 1 o'clock D. m, when 1t was sold
off by the room traders and under pressure
of long stock offering. The Northern Pacific

closing exhibited decided weakness. Tho
Iowa pool news, and reports OF trunk lines
cutting, failed to affect the market in the
slightest during the mornings trading The

The Vanderbilt people talk rather more
conservatively, and intimated that the pres
ent movement was rather too rapid. Van
derbilt, himself, said he would prefer u moro
gradual advance. Gould was much pleased,
and believed the bull market would last u
year. His following intimate that it will
not DO the policy of tho bull leaders to per-
nit much decline in prices at present, al
though moderate reaction may be en-
couraged to admit outsiders.
Bulls in Union Pacific say tho pool has
started for q long campaign, and it has no
stock for sale at present quotations, An ad-
vance to go is said to be projected in Reading
immediately, and the parties who say this
are not Vanderbilt people.

ST.. LOUIS, No., Jan. 3l.-At dark the ice
pridgos across tho Mississippi river broke
aud the great mass commenced moving from
u point Just below the bridge. The ice was
very thick, and great consternation ensued
among tho crews Of vessels. Fires woro hur-
\ riodly made, ~nd tho shrill steam whistles
brought thousands of peoplo to tho river
front. The irresistible wall Of leo moved Oh
as though to carry everything down before
1t. The Anchor wharf boats, moored with
immense chains, were the first to succumb to
shock, and thoy were driven high upon tho
lovee. The wrecking steamer Salvo was
crushed like an egg shell and buried out of
sight beneath the ice. The st. Paul and st.
Louis Packet company's fine steamer Mime
npohs, valued at $40, 900, was the next vessel
overtaken. Her sides were also crushed in
and sho was totally demolished. Tho Salvc
was valued et $4,000 and was owned by
C;urron 81 Powell. Many otnur 80. Ioat.
wero sunk or damaged, and tho ice is still

banks mainly interested are the Toronto,
Quebec and Commerce. Tho liabilities foot
up close OH to S1,O00,000, perhaps half OF

tho largest creditor. 1t is now alleged that
