ARMOUR'S VIEWS.
Special to the GLOBE.
CHICAGO. Dec. 9.-In an interview with
P. D. Armour, regarding the effect of Mr..
Vanderbilt'S death on the stock market,
MIR. ARMOUR SAID:
There is no cause for alarm. Mr.. Wander
bilt was real owner of stock, and in no
sense speculator on margins. Hence his
holdings will not come on the market. In adj
dition there was never a time when so many
stocks, and especially those of Western roads,
were in the hands of parties who have bought
them and put them away as an investment.
They don't owe cent on them and not one
share in twenty will come out. There are
millions of dollars worth of stocks held Sin
Chicago by capitalists. who are not in the
least disturbed, knowing that a real
panic can never occur in property
when those who hold it have it paid
for with their own money. Timid headers
and spectators on slender maginS will sell,
and the wreckers will pound prices, but the
scare will soon subside. I have been a
heavy buyer, and know that other large Chi
cago capitalists have sent heavy buying Or
ders. Large purchases have also been made
by capitalists in other large Western cities.
Other capitalists and financiers expressed
similar views on the subject. and those in a
position to know said, aside from West
Shore, Mr.. Vanderbilt had made no new
purchases. 1t was rumored that j. t..
Lester & Co. had sold out the bulk of their
private holdings of Northwestern stock. but
are still long for customers. Sam AllertOn,
who is one of the largest Chicago holders,
is said to be still in, and some say he bought
only On the early break this morning.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The death of Van
derbilt and the complications likely to ensue
were the absorbing topics on the stock ex-
change to-day. Before the opening London
prices for American securities were quoted
at decline Of 2 points from last nights
closing. 1t was expected that in spite of
the bull cliques the market here would
break badly and the first quotations were
awaited with the greatest interest. Lake
Shore opened 8 points under last nights
closing and New York Central 21s points
under Yesterdays price. The general mar
ket opened from 1 to X points Off. The
opening prices, however, were the lowest
for the day. The powerful bull cliques
stood molly in the face of the decline. and
the bears were afraid to sell. 1t was stated
that the DreXel-Morgan party was the back

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-The money market
was firm with a fairly good demand from
different lines of trade, but there were no
alterations in quotations. Call loans on
collaterals were quoted at 5@6 per cent.
and on time at 5@7 per cent. Grain and
provision dealers were the chief buyers.
Although all the leading interests were
well represented among borrowers, there
was no pressure for assistance, and all that
presented good paper or collateral were
readily accommodated. The death of Mr..
Vanderbilt, while sincerely regretted in
banking circles. really had no influence on
the financial situation, and the uneasiness
caused in speculative circles is regarded by
cool-headed business men as being tempo
rary in its nature. New York exchange
was firm at par between bankers. Sterling
exchange was strong. Bankers sight bills
ON London were quoted for sixty days ster-
ling at 81. s31a@4. s3A, and sixty days
documentary at S4.s2@4.s21s. The bank
clearings aggregated So. $4,000.

NoTE.-Parties sending poultry to this
market should observe the following: Poultry
should be kept twenty-four hours before
killing without food. Full crops injure the
appearance and are liable to sour which
causes lower prices. Remove intestines and
crop. Never kill poultry by ringing the
neck; kill by bleeding in the mouth or open
ing the veins of the neck. Hang by the feet
until properly bled. Scalded chickens sell
best to home trade, and dry picked best to
shippers, so that either manner of dressing
will do, if properly executed. For scalding
chickens the water should be as near the
boiling point as possible without boiling; pick
the legs dry before scalding; hold by the head

DULUTH, Dec. Sin our market we have
had q very quiet day The death of the lead
ing capitalist of this country, which was re-
ported after the close of change yesterday,
had the effect Of unsettling values materially
but, coming as it did after board hours, the
weakening influences naturally attendant
upon such a circumstance were, NO
doubt, greatly lessened. Upon receipt
OF the Intelligence there was a general dispo-
sition to sell and considerable wheat changed
hands on the curb at a liberal decline from
the AFTERNOON closing, and the general opin-
ion rather leaned toward lower prices for the
morning curb. In this the crowd was dsap-
pointed. Early bidding was at good prices

futures there was a decline of from

few sales were made. Sellers were more num-

weakness. The sample market was rather
quiet, with local millers picking up all they
could to advantage.
