IN BAD SHAPE.
Stocks Kept in the Rut by the Uncertainty
ofRailroad Revenue,

NEW YORK, January S.-The stock market
to-day was extremely dull, narrow and uninter-
esting, with a general downward tendency of
prices, and the result of the days trading is to
leave almost everything fractionally lower than
last evening. The market hung upon the action
of the meeting between the railroad Presidents
and the bankers, and while it was expected
that some plan would be perfected whereby
more revenue would be assured to the roads,
there was a marked indisposition to enter into
new ventures pending the annual settlement of
the question. Nothing definite was accom-
plished, however, and affairs remain in the
same undecided condition. The dealings as a
consequence were even more of a professional
character than for the past few days, and such
interest as was infused into the market from
the operations of the trading element were
confined almost entirely to the coal stocks,
Union Pacific and New England.
FIRST prices were generally from e to q per
England developed marked weakness in the
early trading the rest of the list remained
stagnant and only Reading showed any ANNA
ton whatever. Lackawanna followed with a
fractional decline, but until well into the after
noon the market was still devoid of feature.
when Chesapeake and Ohio common stock rose
a point on small transactions. Union Pacific
later became weak, and the general list then
sympathized, bringing prices in most stocks
down to the lowest prices. The close was dull
and fairly steady. Almost the entire list is
lower. Omaha preferred lost IL, New En-
gland, Union Pacific and Omaha common l per
cent each, and the others fractional amounts
The dealings in railroad bonds were in
marked contrast to those in shares to-day, the
market being both active and strong through
out, and while the final advances are not
marked they are general and uniform. The
effect of the January disbursements is only
just beginning to be felt, and brokers report a
large inquiry for bonds of the investment kind,
and this is reflected also in the prices of the
speculative variety for the time being. The
only weak spot in the list were the Gulf, Colo
RADIO and Santa Fe IS, because of the uneasi-
ness among holders as the bonds, while a valid
obligation of the Atchison, are not guaranteed
and are a lien only upon that part of the road
which has not earned the dividend upon the
Atchison stock Given in exchange.
The sales reached Sl,8l6. GOO, and the only
active feature was the Richmond and Allie
ghany lists, Sl52,GN of which changed hands.
The important gains comprise Morris and
Essex lists 2, to LAC. The few declines include
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe IS ~, at 7SH.

stocks on the New York Stock Exchange.

A BANKING CRISIS.
The Object of the Proposed General
Law Fully Explained.
OIL AND STOCKS MOVING SLOWLY.
Local Financiers Give Up the Bulk Of the
Day to Annual Elections.
A DROP IN CLEARING HOUSE BUSINESS

The movement for a general banking law
in Pennsylvania, in the opinion of lead
ing fnanciers, comes none too soon. The
Bank of Pittsburg is not alone affected.
The success or failure of the project may
have an important bearing on the future of
the National banks. The basis upon which
their business Reinforcement bonds
will in a few years be taken from them,
after which they will be compelled to 60
out of existence unless the Government creates
a special bond for their benefit
This would encounter serious opposition from
the enemies of the national banking system,
who are neither few nor unimportant, render
ing the passage of such a law at least doubtful.
In this exigency they would be compelled to
reorganize under State laws, which in some
States would be special. AS special laws are
impossible in Pennsylvania under the new
Constitution, a general law would have to be
framed to meet the emergency. This is the
object of the present movement, in which the
Bank of Pittsburg has the lead.
Although the necessity of the law will not be
felt for three years, during which there will be
two Legislatures, it is considered unsafe to let
the matter run beyond the present session. To
put it off to the last moment would involve
great risk, and possibly result in failure. 1t is
proposed, therefore, to secure the desired legis-
lation as soon as possible. Nospecial difficulty
is apprehended.

A SHOCKING STORY.
While in a Hospital His Wife Dies and is
Dissected and Cremated.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE %DIsPATcH.1
CHICAGO, January S.-John Somers, the
father OF nine children, broke his arm last
July, and was taken to the county hospital.
He sent word to his wife to come and see
him. She did not come. When Somers
left the hospital in September, he went to
his house and found it vacant. His wife
was nowhere about, and his furniture was
gone.
After a long search he learned that his
wife had died of quick consumption at
the hospital while he himself was an
inmate of that institution. Then he
began to look for her body. This was
no easy task. The corpse had been buried
in Potters field, but the grave had not been
marked. Last week he learned that the
body of his wife had been dis
sected in the Chicago Homeopathic Medical
College. He went to the institution and
was told by the engineer that the bones had
been burned. To-day Somers brought an
action for damages against the professors of
the college.

THE DEMAND KEEPS UP.
Real Estate Badly Wanted, but Views Of
Prices Conflict.

There was no special movement in real estate
circles yesterday. The inquiries were many
but the sales were few. The "big things"
hitherto noted have not crystallized. They will
come to the front later on. Agents and dealers
have about closed up the January rent bust
ness, and will soon settle down to legitimate
work. Then the public may look out for lively
times. Buyers are settling down to the con-
viction that prices will not recede.
James W. Drape & Co. closed the sale of three
houses and lots on Bertha street, city, lots COX
$50 feet, $500. They also placed a mortgage of
5000 on property on Main and Fortieth streets,
city. at 9 per cent. and a mortgage of Sl,OW on
property in McKeesport at 6 per cent.

letined yesterday and to-day, 81 cars were hay.
AS a result of this overdose of the meadow
crop, prices are off, as will be seen by quota
lions below. The promised Improvement in
cereal markets after holidays has not yet ma
terialized. Buyers and sellers are still far
apart in their views of values. The former
think there should be concessions, and the
latter are unwilling to concede. The outlook
at this date is in the buyers favor, since every
thing outside of wheat is in abundant supply.
AS to wheat and -four, the short export de-
mand, as compared with last year, would seem
to more than offset the shortage Of crop. One
thing is certain, the efforts of Northwestern
millers to stiffen prices of flour by restricting
product are not, SO far, a success.

STILL SHAKY.
The Oil Market Continues Under Bearish
Inf1uence-False Prophets.

Oil drops whenever a Standard man puts in
his appearance, is an old saying among oil men.
He did not show up at the Exchange yester-
day, but his influence was felt all the same.
While the expectation of those who predicted
S5c was not realized, the market was weak.
Heavy buying in New York held prices up.
The opening was SEC. This was almost lmme-
diately followed by a break to S514c, and by a
rally to S5Ac.
Another wave Of weakness then struck the
boys, and there was a drop to $3.50. This was
regarded as low water mark. At all events, it
proved so for the day. Again the price shot
up to S6Lc. then fell to S5sc, which were the
figures at the close. Trading was light and the
market was without support, except wha it
received from New York.
The field news was more encouraging. The
Nicely well, Washington county, was through
the sand and made a strong flow. Refined in
London dropped Hd. There was no change in
carrying rates.
