Bear Raid Successfully Re-
sisted-Trusta Very

NEW YORK, January 3L-The stock market
continues to show decreasing vol ume of busi-
ness as the result of the recent occurrences
which have had tendency to shake confidence
somewhat, but it shows signs of a recovery
from these influences Notwithstanding the fact
that the bank troubles were still the principal
topic Of conversation on the street. They, how
ever, have not proved SO serious as the bears
would have had people believe. and while the
purchases Of the day except in two or three
stocks were light, the market responded to the
demand. The demand for stocks in the loan
crowd shows that the short interest has been
increased considerably during the past two
days and is now quite large, which with the
closeness with which stocks are held, renders

CHICAGO. January 3L-A good inquiry for
small lots of iron continues and it is noticed
that deliveries are generally wanted quicker
than furnaces can make them. In fact the in
ability Of the furnaces to keep up with stated
deliveries or contracts has caused trouble in
many cases. Buyers still hold of, expecting
lower prices, and'many of them are in posi-.

stocked. Others again must continue to buy
freely for actual needs. A rather better trade
is looked for in February, though most sellers
have little TO complain of IN amount OF busi-

ST. JOSEPH IN DANGER.

Inc Missouri River Trying to Leave It
High ana Dry-Hundrcds of Acres on
the Kansas Side Washed a way.
The residents of Doniphan County,
kas., Just across the Missouri from ST.
Joseph, are very much alarmed by the
action of the Big Muddy, which threat
ems to reduce thousands of acres of
valuable lands to a broad cXpanse of
swamp, sandbars and cstuaries, destroy
the town of Wathena, cut off the pros.
porous suburbs of Ellwood from all com.
munication with the mainland and
leave st. Joseph high and dry, and at
least four miles from the main channel.
The river makes a number of bends and
turns as it sweeps past st. joseph
The point nearest the city where
the Union Pacific and Rock ISL
and bridge crosses forms the
lower part Of an enormous letter s..
Tho upper part of this letter S takes ia
large stretch of country on the Mis-
souri, side known as the French Bot
TOMS and part of which includes
North ST. Joseph. The lower part OF
the letter includes portion of Doni-
phan County, forming peninsula on
the Kansas side which takes in nearly
tne whole of Washington township.
Tho bluffs which originally formed the
eastern boundary of the river are some
distance from its present course, and for
the past six months the river has been
cutting away on the Kansas side at an
alarming rate. The river has cut in for q
distance OF over 600 feet in less than six
months This would not be so alarming
were it not for the fact that it doubles
on its course. The stream still hugs
the right hand bank and is tearing il
away by acres. Even at this low stage
of water huge trees and immense
squares of land covered with grain and
timber are constantly breaking away
from the soil and being borne away
by tho greedy stream. If prompt
measures are not taken st. Joseph will
be left high and dry with no landing
within four miles of the river and the
splendid iron bridge erected by Jay
Gould al cost Of over $500, 900 will have
to add four-mile approach to its pres
ent terminus on the Kansas side.
So urgent has the matter become that
petition has been circulated with all
possible haste praying Congress for i'm.
mediate help and relief. The danger
to the bridge and to st. Joseph was
first called to the attention of the peo.
pie by a delegation of citizens from
Doniphan County. Even If tho narrow
neck of land which still gives the east
ern neck of Doniphan County the right
to be called peninsula should hold out
for another eight months, it can not
Withstand even the briefest stage OF
high water in tho spring. The damage
to the City of St Joseph and to Doni
phan County and the Wathena and Ell,
wood can hardly be calculated, :
