Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Fen. - At the stock exchange
the market opened irregularly, some stocks
being H035 higher and others as much
lower. An early furry in Chicago, Burling
ton q Quincy sent the stock up 4 to 122 in
a s1ort tine, but it fell off almost as rapidly
as it advanced. The full force of steam was
put on early as has been usual OF late, and
prices were marked up by the machine. Ii
is intimated that the bull leaders are getting
anxious to unload without letting the bears
know it and that
THE BOOM IN LACEAwANSA
has now reached the figure ninety-flve at
which it was originally set. Within the pas;
two or three days about $50 900 shares have
been sold by the longs and more is to be let
90 on every bulge from this time on. Gould's
present plan of operations, as Iar as it can be
found out, is to rush up Western Union and
Union Pacific and under cover Of this fails
strsngth-sell out everything he holds. Ac
cordingly this morning the match of power
was applied to the Union Pacific pile of rub
Dish, whoop and a hurrah OF enthusiasm
followed and the stock ran up rapidly to 501E
Western Union was also marked up TO 62A
and director o. the company SAYS there is
still large short interest in Il. The major
iiy Of traders, however, are looking for re-
action aud
LOWER PRICES,
and will only buy now on the breaks. A
large amount OF that stock has been covered
lately at a loss, and the bulls have realized
and taken in their profits. The trustee OF the
Union Pacific land grant mortgage bonds is
sues call for $500, 600 worth of them, as hr
has that amount of money on hand. The
Chesapeake " Ohio Canal company have
reduced tolls from 80 to % cents, to take
effect in March. The Cunard Steamship
company has been offered Clearield coal By
the new Clearfiell & Southwestern Railroad
company at less than - 80 per ton. The
Delaware Il Hudson Coal company, or the
other hand, say they have now more orders
for crate and stone coal taan they fill.
tbs SEVERE WINTER
Is undoubtedly using more fuel than was cX-
prcted. When IL opened after a show o
strength the market weakened and prices fell

probably helped the decline and Il few holders
evidently slip)e out some OF the stocks.
West Saore bonds fell To 33. Telegraph was

showed indications Of going higher as the
day advanced. So did all prop rites. which
were quite strong at the finisI with a goo4

to-day shows plainly that Mr.. Gould is sti!
engineering tue upward movement. Unless

time since their marriage that she had
shown such indifference. Then he went
out, slamming the door after him.
During the afternoon Maia came rnnn;na
IN. She was flushed and almost ont of
breath. " Mother, mother, | am engaged
to Roryig!" He was the student. Ma.
dame Bruvald's pale cheeks became paler
still. At last she said: "Maia, do not
marry; you do not know what future
awaits you" Then Maia began to cry.
and said she thought it was unkind of her
mother to say that now, when she was 50
happy. And she liked him so much!
" We'll, if you love him it may perhaps
be we'll; but love is not only kiss and
happy look in youth, my child. Much,
very much, comes afterward."
Maia cried little while and then left
