FINANCIAL.
New York.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, March AT the stock ex-
change the market opened 1S@% higher
with continuation of Saturdays squeeze in
Lackawanna. Everybody is tired aud dis
gusted with the prolonged maneuvering of
the notorious and sanctimonious Deacon
White, but no one can stop it except by let
ting his stock alone, and this the bears re-
fuse to do, because the temptation to go
short of stock that is confessedly 10 or IL
points too high is too great to be resisted, and
so the dreary farce goes on from day to day,
and will go on until the bears learn to let
Lackawanna alone. Good judges, how
ever, think the end of the performance is
not far distant, but they have thought SO
many times before and have been wrong
every time. The present monkey work is
injuring the whole stock business immensely,
and driving away all sensible buyers, both
outside and within. All the best brokers
advise their customers not to touch the mar
ket until the sly deacon gets through with
his game, when collapse must surely follow.
Fresh from his Sabbath rest and worship, his
psalm-singing and prayer meeting exercises,
White went into the gambling room this
morning
WITH BLOOD IN HIS EYE,
put on steam and during the first hour
Lackawanna had scored 1094. Of
course it fell away Immediately to
1917, but was put right back again
to 1889. The rest of the market
responded feebly to this erratic whirl.
The Changers were little better than steady,
particularly st. Paul, which went up to 1873.
The Vanderbilts were hardly steady and in
clined toward weakness. Even Pacific Mail
forgot to boom at above 6214, when it began
to drop back. Every one knows and feels
that the present situation is strained and un-
natural, and that healthy reaction of sew
eral points ought to follow. 1t was
rumored to-day that Western Union would
reduce its next dividend aud the stock was
little weak in consequence. Mr. Gould
is expected back about the 18th of this month
and what he will do then no one knows. As
an example of the way the bears in Lacka-
wanna are being
PUNISHED BY WHITE
it is said that one party recently sold $4,000
shares of stock short at l02 and bought it
back this afternoon at 1909. Another squeeze
in New York Central is predicted before
long. The earnings for the Denver Sc Rio
Grande for the first week in February in
creased S14.825, and those Of the Wabash
for the same time decreased 1920. After
the early furry was over the market settled
down into comparative dizziness and steadi-
ness, each man waiting to see what the next
move would be on the part of the bull en-
gineers. The market closed dull and fairl Y
firm.
