RIVER INTELLIGENCE.
Dam No. to be Located Opposite Beaver
Station on fhe Ohio.

Dam No. 8 to be Located Opposite Beaver
Station on the Ohio.
Colonel Merrill and Captain Martin returned
from Beaver yesterday, and held a consultation
with the rivermen to determine the location of
dam No. s, as the new Ohio structure will be
called. Colonel Merrill stated that he and
Captain Martin had agreed that the best place
for the dam was exactly opposite Beaver sta
tion. AS this is the most desirable spot where
on the dam could be built, the rivermen as
sented to the recommendation of Colonel Mer-
rilI, that the dam be erected there.
Colonel Merrill stated that 1t-would be some
time before work would be commenced on the
dam. It will be necessary to condemn the
property and secure clear title before the
start is made. The new dam is to be con-
not cost near so much. Experience in building
movable dams has reduced the cost very much
The building of Davis Island dam was entirely
an experiment. it being the first movable struc-
ture ever erected.
Colonel Merrill is credited with making the
statement that in order to have slack water
between Davis Island and No. 5 dam, there
will have to be three more dams erected.
River men say that while they favor this de-
cidedly, they think that 1t is not necessary, and
if any money is going to be expended in build
ing more dams, which is not at all probable for
a few years, they think it could be used to
much better advantage than in Stacking the
Ohio between Beaver and Davis Island. They
were generally of the opinion that two dams
will be quite sufficient. but if the Government
will build them and give them all the other
needed improvements asked, they say that it
will meet with no opposition from them.
Colonel Merrill thinks that the Beaver dam
will only slack the water as far up as Economy,
and that three dams will be necessary between
that point and Bellview.

Government bonds have been dull and steady

Inc Post says: The further decline of stocks
to-day in the face of circumstances which
might naturally be expected to make higher
prices, can be attributed to nothing but llq u1da
ton, which of itself compels further liquida-
ton. There was nothing new in regard to the
railroad business of any part of the country
nor anything in connection with the money
market to make any decline in stocks to-day.
On the contrary, the aspects of the general
business and monetary situation was far better
than few days ago. Even London, which has
been disturbed by the South American
troubles, had recovered enough confidence to
be moderate buyer of securities this morning,
but there were good many spectators in this
market who loaded up heavily with stocks at
the higher prices of last April and May in ex-
pectation of great rise as the result of the sill
yer imitation and the disbursements of the
Treasury surplus in the enormous pension and
other appropriations. The shortage of the
crops, the South American troubles and the
money stringency here last month, brought dis
appointment and obliged more and more of
them to llquidate, and the liquidation of these
obliged still others to liquidate until prices Of
stocks ami bonds are below their legitimate
level. When the liquidation is over there will
be large and rapid recovery, but when that
will come depends only on the financial
strength and courage of those who are carry
ing the stocks

There is still a difficulty in scouting potatoes

would readily command outside prices. Ba-

datiOn - Rumors of a Strike
Knocks Erie Down.

AAHoChs Crlo DOWn.
NEW YORK, October S.-The stock market
to-day was again decidedly weak, although
there was only moderate business transacted
and the declines for the day are on the average
larger than on any day for a long time. The
opening was firm at fractional advances over
last nights figures, following a higher mari ket
in London, but the feeling among the traders
was very much mixed as to the probable course
of the market, and some London selling being
detected In the Louisville & Nashville and
Erie, there was Immediately a renewal of the
pressure of short sales and prices shaded off
throughout the forenoon. Some of the raiders
who had been working for q rally threw over
their STOCKS and while there was still a moder.
ate demand it was insufficient to meet the
offerings.
Toward noon there was a rumor that the
Erie Company would not settle with its en-
ployes, and that a strike was imminent. and.
accompanied as the report was by a vigorous
hammerins of the stock, it started downward
movement which soon extended to the entire
active list Western Union declined in spite of
the e1cellent statement put out, and North
American was sold off on reports that some
large interest was compelled to liquidate,
which brought the Northern Pacifcs down
with it. There was an unusual number Of
sellers seller g 90 DAY options put out. and even New
manner. The reports of the failures brought
out large number of stop orders, and the as
sertion attributed to General Thomas that the
dividend on the East Tennessee would prob
ably be reduced from to per cent, brought
Richmond and WestP Point preferred down from
73A to TO-
The markets showed no recuperative power
whatever, and, while there was great deal of
taking of profits on the bear side in the late
dealings, only a feeble rally occurred, and the
marked weakness of Western Union and
Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred under the
pressure brought the wholeAist down again in
the final dealings. The market finally closed
fairly active and decidedly weak, at about the
lowest prices Of the day and leaving many
