who suffered then, and who are now short OF
provisions because the great packers are
short, fear repetition Of their wheat expert

New York.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Feb. 1S.-At the stick ex-
change the market opened irregularly. Some
stocks were 1s@4 lower, others were steady,
and others still 1I035 higher. New York
Central was at the front to-day, and Lacka-
wanna took d second place. There is good
sized deal in the first named, and the under
manipulation Of price was run above 81 with
Lake Saore above 65. The bull pool in these
Vanderbilts includes such hitherto noted
bears as Slayback and Soutter, with many
more not so noted, and it was quite an open
question in the minds OF many whether
Union Pacific and Western Union
would drag the general market down
or New York Central and Lackawanna lift it
up. Those two antagonstic forces at work
made the situation
VERY BADLY MIXED,
and made even old operators more uncertain
what to do or what to advise. If it were not
for the withdrawal Of Gould and the terrific
snow storms which are disabling rolling
stock and decreasing weekly earnings Of all
principal lines east aud west, the bull pools
would have more than a fair show of success.
As ii is, their ultim Ate fate is little dubious,
because the adverse forces OF nature are
stronger IN the long run than the limited
forces OF men anu money. Union Pacific
was exceptionally weak from fear
that Senator Thurman would be the new sec
rotary OF the interior. Stock dealers In I'm
ion Pacific have reason to remember him
quite wildly Mr.. Gould is said to have
sold out all his speculative holdings Of West
ern Union, but still holds his investmen Mt
purchases, and win not buy back what he has
sold except At lower ikurcs. Outsiders, how
ever, are said TO be buying Western Union
again. The New York Central people say
that the W.st SIore folks have again made
advances to settle up the difficulties, and
these offers have been declined with
thanks. The vice president OF the
Central saws that It has earned thus
far this year per cent. But the damage
and loss resulting from the late storms would
be considerable, and the same is true Of all
roads to a greater or less extent. st. Paul
earnings for the second week Of February on
account Of the blockade show a falling of of
S34, 900.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Business at the banks
to-day was moderate in quantity, as was en-
tirely natural under the existing cireum-
stances. The com mereial world IS practically
beleagured by invading columns of snow
and frost, and not until the auxiliary forces
Of sunbeams come To its rescue can there be
auy permanent relief. At the East the snow
blockade is more serious now than at any
previous time this year, and things are not
much better at the West. New York ex-
change was quoted at % cents discount,
with fair outside demand. Orders for cur
rency shipments were rather light. and re-
ceipts the same. Sterling exchange S4.s49
4S7jl. The bank clearngs were S5,6l5, 900,
against s., 49s 900 yesterday.

The local live stock market is quiet and dull,
owing partly 20 the snow blockade, which has
iuterfered very materially with the live stock
market at Chicago. The everlasting sapply Of
dressed beef sent from Kansas City and other
points also serves u dull the market. Besides
all this tn local supply OF live stock IS more
a5un ant in this vicinity than ever before. All
these reas ms combined serve to give quiet
market. Dealers, however, say that as much
business is transacted az is usual in February.
