BUYERS SHOW UP.
The Bank Troubles Having Spent Their
Force, Railway Shares Begin to
Rally Special Feature,
huR

NEW YORK, February 1.-The stock market
was dull to-day, but in the matter of business
compared faVorably with any Saturday session
for the past two months. The bears have made
no important attempt to cover the large amount
of shorts put out earlier in the week, and as the
effect of the bank troubles seem to have about
disappeared the smaller buyers begin to appear
and the improvement of values is again under
way.
The bears in the first hour circulated report
of some accident insurance association being
in trouble, but no confirmation of the report
was had, and it obtained little credence and
had no appreciable influence upon the course
of prices. The only stocks which came into
prominence were New England, Reading and
Lackawanna, the buying in both being con-
active In supporting them of late. In neither
was the movement for more than small frac-
tions, and the rest of the list was, as a rule,
stagnant.
The Chicago and East Illinois stocks, how
ever, were marked exceptions to this rule, the
circulation of the report that no dividend
would be paid in March having the effect of
the common 2H. The preferred rallied some
what but the common closed at its lowest
figure.
The market opened steady, and after a slight
advance retired again, but later rallied and
closed firm, though dull generally at the best
prices of the day. The final changes are gen.
orally slight and irregular but the Chicago and
East Illinois common lost 2H and the pre-
terred g.
Railroad bonds, with the exception of Texas
Pacific seconds, were quiet and steady to firm
though the market showed but little feature
and the final changes are OF slight Importance,
Texas Pacific seconds contributed $lI5OOO TO
the days total of $805, 000I The sales of bonds
for the week aggregated S9,S230OO. against
S9, $40 for last week.

HOMER CITY SCENTS COKE.
An Indiana County Town That Believes
Itself TO be on the Edge of n Boom
Were the GeOIOgists Mis-.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DISPATCH.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DISPATCH
HOMER CITY, February o. Perhaps
there is no town in Western PENNSYLVANIA
where the prospects look brighter than for
this little city, which is located right over
vast body of coal now about to be developed.
People are asking the question on all sides
why it is that this vast body of coal land has
not been developed long ere this. The
question is easily answered. By looking at
the geological survey person will find the
coal here reported as good for nothing"
or in other words not fit for coke. Thus peo-
pie took it for granted that to open mines
here would be a useless expenditure of
money. Evidently the geologists came far
from making correct statement of this coal.
Not being satisfied with this report, our
enterprising citizen, Mr.. J. M. Guthrie, the
well-known lumberman, went to work,
opened a mine, erected some ovens and
started to manufacture coke as an expert
ment; and no sooner was it put on the mar
ket than it was pronounced of superior
quality. Encouraged by this, Mr. Guthrie
fell to work and bought up 5000 acres, all
underlaid with coal His plant now con-
sists of 26 ovens, built as an experiment
and the output of these ovens has from the
hrst found ready sale. He has now in course
of construction large number, which are
being finished and utilized as fast as posi-
bic.
The land all contains three veins. The
top vein is seven feet in thickness; the Sec
Ond one four feet and the lower vein is three
feet. Both the seven and tour-foot veins
can be mined by drifting, as they both lay
above water level. This makes it all the
more valuable, as no shafting is needed.
Mr.. Guthrie has sold 500 acres to Mr.. J.
w. Moore, of Greensburg, formerly a heavy
operator in the Connellsville district. He
is now negotiating for what is known as the
Mikesell plant, aud, should he succeed in
getting it, will commence at once the erec-
tion of 200 ovens. Quite number of other
capitalists are looking over the field, from
Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other places.
The coal is said to make much better coke
than is made at either the Millwood. ST,
Clair or Latrobe mines, and as good as, if
not superior to, that produced in the great
Connellsville district. 1t is ready for the
ovens as it comes from the mines, no wash
ing being required. If Homer City's pros
poets pan out, the place is on the edge of
one OF the greatest "6ooms" ever enjoyed by
any town in the western part of the State.

ALMOST SURPRISING.
Pittsburg PrOsperinE While Other Cities
Complain of Dullness- Gains In All Lead
ing Interests - Saturdays


Business last week was little slack, tax
ing the country through, for which there
were several causes, bad weather which en-
braced large territory, and the New York
bank scandal being the principal. From a
local point of view, however, there was
nothing to complain of. In each of the
items of bank clearings, stock sales, build
ing permits, real estate transactions and oil
trading, there was a gratifying improve
menr over the previous week, as well as the
same time last year.
The bank clearings for January were nearly
$l6,0O0000 greater than those for the corre-
spending month in 1889. Their magnitude
caused surprise. AS they offered the best re-
fex of business, there is no escape from the
conclusion that the activities of Pittsburg-
financial, manufacturing and commercal-are
IN condition closely resembling boom.
The proceedings at the Stock Exchange Sat
urday were in striking contrast to those wit
the week. Brokers We're harmonious, but,
lacking orders, they were not in position to do
much business. Still, the sales were above the
average for Saturday.
There were no important changes in quota
tions. Philadelphia was the strongest thing
among the natural gasSers. All the rest had a
bad look, CHARTERS particularly, on account of
alleged mismanagement. All the street rail-
ways were weak. Airbrake, Switch and Signal
and Luster developed additional strength. La
Noria showed no recuperative power, and
holders seemed anxious TO be rid of it. Bank
and insurance stocks were firm at close to pre-
Vious quotations.
Sales for the day were 490 shares. Those for
the week were 4798, for the previous week they
were ], 100. The majority of local securities
declined during the month. number of them

FROM ONE OF THE RACE.
A COlored Clergyman in Ohio Argues
Against Fnrfher IrjastIce to Negroes
in AmerIca-Not in Favor Of
Deportation 10 Africa.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE p1srArcF

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
MAssILLoN. O., February 2.-Rev. N.
E. WilIett, a colored clergyman of this
place, is out with an interview in which he
radically opposes the Southern scheme to
deport the negro to Africa. As introduce
ory to what he says in reply to questions,
the reverend gentleman says:
A few days ago l got on train at the Mas
sllon depot en- route to Salem. rode as far
as Salem with gentleman from Massillon;
but he cha nged his seat after the train reached
Canton. Then a lawyer came in the car, looked
at me rather familiarly, and asked: "Can l sit
down beside your He did SO, and began
talking away in regular legal STYLE drifting
finally TO the negro question, the solution
of which, he thought, might be reached
by all the colored people going West and taking
up lands to lay out farms and build cities for
themselves: making their own laws and send
ing their own members to Congress. By that
means, he said, the white people Of the country
would get rid OF the negroes, and the colored
people would be compelled to stay out West
and all become cowboys and girls.
Now. in answer to all such suggestions as
this, have simply to say: God has not passed
a sentence on the down-trodden race to my
knowledge. If he has, il is not that they shall
live in any one corner of the United States.
The colored people don't want, don't need and
WIN not dccepL any place OF Secluslon OF any
Land of Nod.
The President of this great land says he is
powerless to do anything that shall enduringly
nelp the colored race, and that it is matter for
the States to settle. Senator Butler of South
Carolina, has introduced a bill providing for
tne emigration Of all American colored men to
some out-oi-the-way corner of the world. 1t
won't do. The only solution of our race prob
lem Is to quit numbering and whip
ping colored men in the South To
tnlnk MINK OF a people that were stolen
