New YORK, May Is. II a. m.-The
stock market opened with moderate
volume Of business this morning, and
first prices were generally steady as
compared with last evenings figures,
though Oregon Transcontinental was
up 4 per cent. The squeeze of the
shorts in that stock still kept the chief
interest in the trading conferred in 1t,

material advances, AtchIsOn and Bur

Office everything appeared to be quiet
and in marked contrast to the excite

that the excitement On the street was an
outside matter, with which Mr.. Willard
had nothing to do. He said that the
fight for the control of the stock at the
election was over, and that Mr.. Willard

ways Of doing the same thing. There
are many subjects in arithmetic which
are entirely unnecessary. We should
have them out. The arbitration

is contrary TO banking rules, but
