floating in the river near the mouth of Rock

PERHAPS there were not many bad words
spoken this morning by the early bathers
and the washerwomen, upon the refusal of
the hydrants to yield their accustomed
aqueous supply, or any at all. The temper
ance cause suffered considerably, also, as
thirst had to be aked, and in the absence
of water, why, of course, people could not
be expected to famisb. The old pumps
have not had such run" for long time,
but the supply was inadequate, and the

that the street became aware that receiver
had been appointed for the Texas Pacific
that stock was selling at a little above II, but
following the announcement 1t rallied over L

cific, which prior to this announcement was
quiet below 107, rose to Ill, but was very
feverish in the final dealings closing at 1899,

of Texas Pacific in the hands of a receiver as
the first step towards q still closer alliance

stock. There was very heavy trading in Mis-

ketS OF the country and the near approach Of
the holiday season, which Is always charac-
terlzed by unusual dizziness. The market Is
devoid of features or any attempt to manu-
facture them. Opinions as to the futures Of
values, receipts and shipments for the near
future, probabilities as to the status of the
next visible supply and the requirements of
exporters after the holiday season constitute
the stock in trade In theoriztng just now IN
the absence Of more tangible factors. Re-
ceipts show some improvement to-day in the
number Of cars reported Oh track which are
l96 against 81 yesterday. Curb trading was
almost neglected, but little disposition being
shown to trade. We heard Of some
trading at nearly change prices. Opening
sales were at q71sc for May, at which there
was good demand and under 1t prices i'm
proved &c, and in one instance a fraction
more, May selling up to 9714c, go on the split,
when it again weakened OF to the lowest point
of the week under lower outside markets and
more general disposition on the part of sellers
to meet the views Of buyers, who demanded
concessions to 97c, which, when acceaded to,
resulted in active trading. A goodly amount
of property changed hands quickly. 1t was
evident that AZ these figures there were liberal
orders on the floor for the May future. as all
offerings We're quickly taken and buyers still
in the market. Sellers improved the oppor-
tunity by advancing their views again. which
were met with liberal response from buy
ers, who continued taking 1t at
the improvement and gradually the
market assumed better tone,
and values again reached e7}4c, but it was
difficult to hold it there without more i'm
provement i'll other markets. which failed to
hold their strength, and while values were not
strong. they failed to reach the lowest point
at this turn. But little was done outside of
May. January sold at 9l7sc, No. Northern
sold at SSc in small way. Cash wheat was
but little dealt in, No l hard selling at S01ac,
No. Northern at size. Toward the close
the market was steady and quiet. At the
close the disposition to trade was evidently
lacking, and there was nothing doing, and
prices were nominal, sellers of May at 9113c,
buyers at 911ac. The afternoon market
opened weak at 973sc, and soon broke to 91c,
where it seemed hard to break it further, but
it finally yielded to the selling pres
sure, which was greater than at any
time during the day and reached 96Iac to the
extent OF single trade and closed with the
last sale on the split at $500. After change
it sold at 81. but there were freer sellers at

New YOrN:

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The stock market
opened to-day at about last nights closing
prices. The prevalent belief was that stories
recently circulated alleging that
the younger Vanderbilts were in the
market were untrue. The bulge
in St. Paul, it was claimed, was piece of
manipulation to squeeze the shorts. Mr..
Armour refused to state whether he was
buying or not, but the inference was that at
present he was doing nothing. The an
nouncement was made that Texas Pacific
had gone into the hands OF a receiver, and
this was construed as favorable to
the security holders, the price of the stock
advancing on this information. Northwest
ern weakened on the statement that its
earnings for the second week in December
would decrease $780, 10000. 1t was also
semi officially stated that the ST. Paul earn
ings for the same period would show a
small decrease. Lake Shore was advanced
by good buying by new 10000 share bull
pool, headed by Victor Newcomb Gould
took hold of Missouri Pacific and, on small
sales advanced it 81 points. Kansas &
Texas was strong, notwithstanding
BEAR POINTS CIRCULATED
early in the day. 1t was claimed that Van
derbilt parties were again buying the stock.
and if Gould again attempted to raid it the
entire stock of the road would be purchased,
if necessary, to prevent any material de-
cline. The combination which has recently
been formed in this stock was represented
to be very Strong, and it was
stated would hold for big advance,
a quick bulge in the Gould stock carried
the whole market up in the afternoon.
Missouri Pacific was bid up from 1868 to
107. Kansas u Texas advanced points
and the general market about point. The
Union Pacific quarterly statement, ending
Sept. so, showed loss in net earnings of
S500,00 The market late in the day was
very active and strong, though toward the
close there was fractional decline from
the advance.
