New York, Feb. 9.-The syndicate for
the purpose of advancing the price of
shares was full of business this morning,
and the market was one of tae strongest
that has been sean in long time. Central
q Hudson was the cHrd during the early
hours. Rumors that the Vanderbilt inter
ests and the west shore were harmonizing
assisted the advance. Delaware and Lacka-
wanna came to the front among the coalers,
and was rather fhe leader all day, rising
from 1851 to 1919. Pullman Palace YVES
reported next with bound from 111Z8 to
ia. The grengers just about
held their own. The Northern
Pacifcs, Oregon Transcontinental and the
non-dividend payers generally were not
sought after. There wss some very good
buying of Rock Island as the day wore on,
The shorts covered large lines in several
of the leading stocks, but still the demand
continued. At 2 o'clock the market was
fairly booming with good business
throughout the list. Being the clone of the
week there was naturally considerable
realizing at the last, and slight 1eachoEs
were in order. The tone at the close Yves
steady. The bank statement was favor
able one showing an increase in reserve.
To all appearances, we have had to-day
an old time bull market. The opening
was very quiet, but also very fsm. Laea-
wanna was moved to the front as leader,
and soon the Vanderbilts rallied and the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Rock Is
land, and all the good dividend papers
joined the advance, and without dash or
spasmodic effects the last gradually moved
up, with now and then halt for breath,
and appaI emily to make sure of their foot
ing, clo5ing at about the best figures of the
day. Leading room traders acknowledge
they got left out in TIE cold in the lest
downward turn and cay they now look for
better prices for all good dividend stocks
The buying in Rock Island was extremely
good and the stock shows gain of 81
points for the day.

and up to the close dividend stocks were

did not show the strength manifested by
the others, but held from SO to 93M al

C,ltti,an Rntes On, E,.,,,ne,.

The ten-cent cut rate is still in effect on
lumber from Chicago to the Missouri
river, at common points. The st. Paul
roads reduced rates on the same basis from
Rock Island, Clinton, Lyon, and lower
Mississippi river points. The rate from
St. Paul, Minneapolis and Saltwater re-
mains fifteen cents, and Eau Claire and
Menomonee seventeen cents, the same as
the rate prior to the cut from Chicago.
The rates from this territory are solid by
way of either of the three
routes from ST. Paul. The
cut rate from Chicago was the outcome of
the refusal on the part of the Eau Claire
Lumber company to waive Its contract of
rates of two cents per 100 above rates
from Chicago. The consequence is, that
the whole country will be filled with Chi
cago lumber, as the lines from Eau Claire
cannot meet the rates in consequence of
the lines running from Council Bluffs
notifying the st. Paul and the Chicago,
Milwaukee & Omaha roads that they will
not pro rate with them on any cut rates.

At Glass House, near Whealing, two children
have died from exposure and insufficient and un-

From Toledo the reports are favorable, as the

At Galveston, Texas, there has been contin-
nous rain for the past 100 hours, and the bot
toms are overhowed.
At Lynchburg, Va, the rains have swollen the
James river, which IS rising rapidly. Great
fears are entertained that the guard gates above
the city are giving way, and should they break
loose, every vestige of property in that section
will be swept away.
From Harrisburg, Pa, it is learned that the
ice in Cenodogninet cJ1sk broke yesterday, and
caused tremendous food. Four bridges.

A LATE DEMOCRATIC ooNvENr1oN

Several months ago the New York Sun
threw out the 'gestion that the Democrats
hold their national convention late in the
season, adding that the interval between
August and November was sufficiently long
for all purposes of q presidential cam
paign. 1t is evident that the suggestion is
meeting with considerable favor, and
a number of gentlemen prominent in
the councils of the Democratic party
will urge such suggestion when the
committee meets here on the 22d inst.
August is the month they prefer, leaving
the date an open question. Gan. Single
ton was asked to day what effect this
would have upon Ohioago's chances for
securing the convention. Ae replied in
effect that it would be helpful rather than
otherwise. He is willy diplomat and this
is probably potent factor in his advoca-
cy of a short canvass. He says the
contest has narrowed down to Chicago and
Saratoga, other cities being practically out
CT the race. AS between Chicago end Sar-
atoga the chances are in favor of the for
mer, more especially if August be the
month selected, as the Saratoga hotels are
filed to Overlooking during that month
He is sereneiy confident that Chicago will
| be the place selected.
