New YORK, Oct 21.-Free selling of
stocks commenced as soon as the exchange
opened. Central d Hudson dropping from
S914 to S73l in few moments The de
preston gradually extended throughout the
list The ups and downs made an exceed
ingiy active market and the dealings were
very lively among the room traders. The
short interest has increased so of late that
the bears acted cautiously About 2 o'clock
selling orders in no small amounts made
their appearance and a drop of one per
cent. and over took place in
several of the active stocks.
The market was then bid up again. The sit
uation is still very much mixed, and brokers
were not inclined to offer much advice.
Among the light weights Ohio & Mississippi
was the weakest feature, selling down TO
1913. Receiver Russell, of the West Shore,
says that he was very reluctant to reduce
rates, but after consultation with some Of tie
best railroad men in the country he decided
that it was best. 1t was purely a defensive
measure, for the other roads cut secretly
and the West Shore decide d
to do it openly. The court
to which the receivers report is well informed
of what the road is doing. He has heard of
no action to restrain the receiver or move
him and does not see just how the court
could take action in the matter. Members
of the West Shore com mittee and other large
bohdholders OF West Shote say that they have
not made any objection to the reduction in
rates, but admit that strong pressure has
been brought to bear upon them by the
I bulls on the market to take
some action in the matter
Apropos of the railroad war, it is noticeable
that quotations for the Baltimore & Ohio
have dropped from IT'S to 169 in the past
week, clean difference of per cent. Don

brokers who suspended during the recent

The Singu!arity of Bowman's Failure.

SAN FRANcIsCo, Oct. 2t.-Thomas Brown,
cashier of the Bank of California said to-day
to an Associated press agent that special
statements had been telegraphed east tat
the Bank of California was seriously in
volved in the failure of Arthur W Bowman,
capitalist and real estated agent, which was
untrue. "0ur uncovered advances, " said Mr.
Brown, ''will not probably exceed the figures
telegraphed through the Associated press
last night. Under any circumstances it
cannot exceed thirty thousand. B6wman' 5
failure was one of the most extraordinary in-
cidents that ever occurred on this coast. He
was the confidential agent of persons whose
wealth aggregated fully fifteen million. He
transacted all their business in his own
name, and they drew on him
as their necessities required. He has IN

name worth $3.50, coo, and tie day before be

Why. then, he failed on the presentation OF
drafts amounting to only $50, 600 is what his
most intimate friends are unable to con-
preheud. The assignee has just issued a
statement of his liabilities, which are about
$771, 900, assets s553, 600 The proportion OF

AnImportant Decision.

CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 21.-Judge Farce
and jury to-day decided in favor of the plain
tiff, the Third National bank of Urbana,
Ohio, in suit to recover of the Cincinnati
Southern Railway company, formed under
the auspices of the lessees Uf the Cincinnati
Southern railway, sum of money which it
loaned to the former secretary of the road,
George F. Doughty, now dead, for which he
deposited as collateral certificates of stock of
the Cincinnati Southern railway, which have
since his death been shown to be an over
issue of stock, without approval and consent
of the directors of the road, made clandes-
timely by George F. Doughty. The decision
gives the plaintiff the principal which it
loaned to Doughty on these collateral
certificates of stock and interest thereon to
date. A former case was brought in the
superior court on which the jury disagreed.
This is one of the numerous suits involving
claims aggregating 100000. This is the
first case in which decision has been
reached. The case viii be taken to higher
court.

Receipts of cattle were light, and among
them were but $50 cars of Texans and west
erns. The unlocked for falling off of 5000
in two days was matter of great surprise
and concern to both buyers and sellers.
The falling off is largely from Texas and the
west, and is only the natural result of the
great decline of the past fortnight. AS a
matter OF course prices must advance and
were quoted all the way from 10@20c higher
on natives and 25@50c on range cattle. Que
lot of Texans sold at s4.O5, which were cited
as fully Soc higher than on last Wednesday.
The receipts Of hogs we're about 10, 600 less

yet this marked falling off scarcely created
any comment or remark and had but slight
influence on the market, the advance being
only trifing and barely worth mentioning,
as the great bulk of the packing grades again

packers $4 9o@5; few sold at S5.1o@5 Is.
The best heavy sold at s5.20@5.50 and Phil

An Appeal for Help.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, Oct. 21.-The Garth
age fire of yesterday was the most disastrous
one which ever occurred in this part of the
state. The fire started in the manufactures
on the west side, and the wind blew the
sparks across the river to islands filed with
manufacturing buildings, and thence into
the residence part of town, where it swept
everything which could be burned from
sevehty-five acres. The fire spread SO rap
idly that very few household goods were
saved. Engines from all the towns near
responded to the call for help, but their ut
most efforts were of no avail Last night
every place of shelter was occupied by the
homeless people, and many were taken to
this place to stay with friends. Some of the
scenes of last night were affecting in the ex-
treme. Many people were deprived of house
and home, and some lost everything they
had in the world. The lost will exceed
$500, 600, with insurance not one-third OF
that amount. Contributions for the benefit
of sufferers can be sent to A. e. Kilby and
G. I. Ryther, of Carthage, who have charge
of the distribution of relief. There were no
fatalities. although a number of people were
seriously burned.

Ten Thousand a Year.

When Mr.. Bell Belmont, manager of the
St. julien restaurant, in King street, left his
home in London, England, fifteen years ago,
he intended going to Australia. En- route,
he stopped in Toronto few days, and think
ing he might go further and fare worse, he
resolved to remain here, and became en-
gagged in the hotel business. Before leaving
London he placed in charge of his father
a number of shares he had acquired in GER
tain railway, gas, and water ompanies. AT
that time these shares were comparatively
worthless, but as time wore on their value
increased, till at length they became very
considerable property Beside his father
and the shares referred to, Mr.. Bel
mout also left at home sister and a son.
The father died three or four years afterward,
and the sisters inquiries after her brother
in Australia were of course futile, and he
was given up for dead.
A few days ago Mr.. Boldly, city clerk, re-
ceived letter from the sons solicitors in
London asking for certificate of Mr.. Bel
mont's death. The city clerk communicated
this fact to Mr. Belmont, who now discovers
that he is the possessor of property COM
posed of the shares and dividend and inter
est accrued thereto, amounting in all to an
income of some $4,000 year. Mr.. Belmont
made money in the White Oak hotel, which
is carried on at the corner of Yonge and Elm
streets, but lost it again, and was spending
his latter years in somewhat reduced circum
stances. 1t appears that he was not absolute
ly ignorant of the fortune belonging to him
in England, but for reasons known to him
self he never took pains to lay claim to it,

meeting OF the presbytery yesterday petit
ton signed by thirty-six of tile members
asking that the pastoral relations between
Mr. Harriott, the pastor, and the congrega-
ton be dissolved, was considered. 1t is
claimed that the church is going to decay,
that the church debt is SO, 700 and that under
Mr.. HarriOtt's administration it is not being
decreased. The meeting was an unpleasant
one and was adjourned without any action
being taken. No complaint is made against
the theology of the pastor or his general
conduct. The trouble seems to be mainly
in the fact that the church is not as pros
porous as some Of the members think it
ought to be.
