the cars went rushing back into the city.

boose stove and went on about 500 yards
farther. where they also left the track,

The FINANCIAL NEWS.

Money is in good supply and rates are
from 81 TO q per cent.
The local market needs some stimulus to
cause activity. There is no dearth OF good
bargains, but the lack of support on part
OF those most interested results in hesita-
tion and falling prices.
To-day American bank Is offered at 43H
and yet IL is worth more intrinsically thah
10 was a month ago, when IL could not pe
bought for less than 45. The weakness Is
not sign of decreasing value.
IL means simply that the amount
of stock available exceeds the
demand, that the buying element Is tenn
porarily absent And yet IL would take
very little capital 10 enter the market
and buy up all that available STOCK ana
push the price to 45 or A. -,
The same comment as above coulu De
made with equal and even more truth IN
regard to the stock of the Phenix and
Third National Banks. They are both of
them strong. Both of them largely owned
by the most successful and richest
men in the State, and yet
these gentlemen allow their stocks
to become objects OF suspicion,
which it will take months to overcome,
when few hundred of dollars would, Ju,
diciously spent, relieve the market ana
keep confidence firm in these securities.
In marked contrast to the support gwen
TO the above Is the quotation to-day OF IN
dustrial Trust. The bid Is III for a o per
cent. stock, and il is worth that price, but
the bid would be fifteen points lower In
few days If its support were not carefully
guarded Intrinsic worth counts for lit
tie If confidence of the public Is lacking

New York Markets.

The upward turn of the market seems
to be now decisively settled. There is no
shadow to cover the bulls at present. The
car famine, railroad earnings, decrease in
Bank of England rate, the Presidents
message, easy money, and fair general
business are all first-class arguments for
higher prices.
There is a general impression that the
Presidents message is good business
document and that IL TO large extent
alleviates all fears of any silver legisla-
tion this coming session. This has been
the most threatening aspect Of the situa-
tiop and the opening of Congress Is
usually the signal for declining prices.
But the country evidently has faith in its
chief executive
The buying today of almost all stock
was excellent, and many of the Changers
