NEW YORK, December 2-The stock market

weak in the first hour, there was full recov-

Close which left prices generally slightly higher
than those of Saturday. The panicky feeling,
among the smaller holders especially was con-
tinued into this morning, and although London
failed to respond to the lugubrious advices sent
there since Friday morning and come all higher
on Americans, the opening figures were invar-
iably lower and in the specialties in particular
the declines were very marked, extending to

The Gould stocks were very well supported,

rumors and talk of Stock Exchange house in
trouble but the head of the house was a liberal

was heard OF the impending failure after that.
The market finally closed active and strong at
the best prices of the day.
Railroad bonds were quiet and generally

Davitt May Make Startling Dis
closures.


LONDON, Oct. 29.-In his speech be-
fore the Parnell special commission,
Michael Davtt is daily scoring points in
favor of the Parnellites. and adding to
his already well established reputation
as an eloquent and fOrcible orator. AS
his speech progresses public interest in
the proceedings. which at the reSump-
ton of the sittings of the commission
had become dormant by reason of the
withdrawal of Mr.. Parnell from the
case, awakens and the court room is
again assuming the appearance it pre-
sented when the Nationalist defendants
were engaged in their daily occupation
of knocking down the foundation of
forgery. perjury, and fraud upon which
the case of the Times was based.
To-day Mr.. Davitt held his
audience almost breathleSS while
he recited his experience during
the Irish famine in '4S and mOiStened
the eyes of many of his hearers when
he pictured his prison life, an episode
of which was his being yOked to cart
like 4 beast of burden. because with his
single arm he was unable to perform
the tasks imposed upon him as man
with two arms could have done. 1t is
quite evident from intimatiOnS made by
Mr.. Davitt from time TO time in the
course of his address that he is on the
eve of making some startling disclosures,
and this assumption is fortified by an
article in the Freeman's Journal, which
asserts that the father of the land
league is rapidly drawing his adverse
ries to the verge of the precipice over
which they will inevitably be hurled.
The disclosures are said to affect the
Times to a greater degree than did even
the confession of the Infamous Piggott,
and to be of a character rendering it
almost impossible for the ''cut and
dried' commission to sustain single
allegation made by that paper.

cattle men and others concerning the
lease of the lands. He said his mes
sage would review the history of the
laudS. and would give a frank state
ment to the members Of the council
of the facts in the case. which, since he
had gained more complete knowledge
of the governments rights in the prem
ises. convinced him that the best thing
they, the Indians, could do would be to
accept the governments offer of
S1.25 per acre and the allOt-
ment of lands in severalty.
His message would contain this
recommendation and he had no doubt
that the council would adopt it. Ex-
Chief Bushyhead is also here. He and
Chief MayeS had long conference this
morning and the result was that Bushy-
head had promised to use his
influence with the council to
persuade it to accept the
governments offer. Bushyhead has
always, heretofore. been the strongest
opponent to the sale of the lands. The
prospects are now that the commission
will have little difficulty in their deal
ings with the counbil and that the
governments offer will be accepted.
