A BAD DAY FOR BOOMs IN THE
STREET RAILWAY STOCKS.

Duquesne Gets q Very Black Eye and Some
OF the Others Damaged-A Natural Re-
action From Too Rapid a Pace-Other
Features.
All the booms exploded yesterday, and the
market was dull and weak throughout.
Nearly everything on the active list was
marked down. 1t was bargain day.
The fractions had been for several days
the backbone of the market, and when they
gave way nearly everything else went of in
sympathy. They had struck a too rapid
gait for the capacity of the speculative pub
lie, and their decline was only natural re-
action. There was nothing in conditions or
even rumor to affect them for better or
worse.
The lowest figures of the day we're named
at the last call. Blocks Of 100 to 500 Duquesne
were offered at 1914 with l5 bid. Manchester
was offered at 81 and Birmingham at 1874.
1s1z bid. Duquesne, as will be seen, suffered
most from the reaction.
Pittsburg Traction finished a big fraction
better than the opening, but Pleasant VAL
ley lost ground. There was no change in
the natural gas list, except that Manufac-
turers' was more bullish in the talk. Elec-
trio was back number. Switch and Signal
went off half a point and Airbrake a full
point.
Sales were 10 Duquesne Traction at IS; 35
Pittsburg Traction at AZ, and 5 Manchester
at 3S. Closing bids and offers follow.

THE MONETARY DRIFT.
Indications That the Year Will BE Turned
without Any Stringency.

The local money market yesterday showed
some improvement over the previous DAYS
of the week, due perhaps, to the bright, brac.
ing weather. Heavy depositing denoted ac-
tivity in general trade.
Funds were in good supply, and there was
no change in the interest rate, which was
per cent as the rule. Bank clearings were
$9. 3o9, l52 Is and balances SS72, ,s72 IS. Money
is working easy at all financial centers, and
indica tions are strong that the year will be
turned without any stringency in rates.
Il is estimated that at least Sl00, COG, 600 of
investment money will be available after
January !. This will be a powerful stimu-
liant to business in all lines.
AtNew York yesterday money on call was
easy, ranging from to 4 per cent; last loan

cahtile paper, 5@615. Sterling exchange quiet

GENERAL STAGNATION.
A STRICTLY PROFESSIONAL DAY IN
THE STOCK MARKET.

Sugar Leads q Marked Improvement In the
Last Hour-A Better Feeling in Rich
mond and " est Point-Chicaso Gas One
OF the Features.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19-The stock market to-
day was very dull throughout the greater
portion of the day, and the strictly profess
sional character Of the dealings was empha-
sized by the marked increase in the amount
-of business done in the last hour, when the
market was subjected to severe pressure to
sell by the traders and bears who we're de-
sirous of making a quick turn on the bear
side.
The news of the day was uniformly of an
encouraging nature. These influences, how
ever, failed, to stimulate either buying or
selling in legitimate way, and the trading
in the market was left almost entirely to
the professional element, which was in
clined to be more cautious than of late, and,
as q consequence. dullness was the only
marked feature of the trading for the most
of the day. A better feeling existed in
Richmond and West Point.
The Industrials, and especially Sugar and
Chicago Gas, were the prominent special
ties to-day, and Sugar responded to rise in
the price OF the refined ana the retention
of the rumors of an increase in the dividend
by q rise of per cent. The improvement in
of Richmond preferred, which, after OPEN
ing down per cent, recovered the loss and
8 per cent additional, closed at about first
price.
The general list opened with firmness,
prices moving upward during the first
hours after which a partial reaction was
followed by general stagnation, only the
shares mentioned showing any animation.
The bears attacked everything especially
Northern Pacific preferred. Atchison, Read,
ing and Lackawanna, and while the first
named retired per cent and Sugar reacted
1ss, the effort to recoup the short sales in the
last few minutes ira ding resulted in sharp
rally, which brought Sugar to within X of
Its best figures, and caused a material up
ward movement in the rest of the list. The
close was quiet but firm at small fractional
advances for the day in most cases, while
Sugar is up 25s Chicago Gas l1s and Rich
mond and West Point per cent
Railroad bonds were quiet, but widely
traded in, and displayed flrmer tone than
stocks on the moderate business transacted
The total sales of all issues reached 81 IA, ,00O
but Northern Pacific IS was the only active
issue Several marked gains were scored,
while the only important loss was in Rich

However. we have trustworthy intorma-

Flower de Hundred was the plantation
OF Sir George Yeardley, who was Governor

The original name Is thought to have

some friend or kinsman OF Sir George or OF
his wife. Lady Temperance Yeardley.
Many other plantations in those early days
were named after their first Settlers. g.,

The old place is still called Flower de

time TO which Mrs. Harrison's story relates
was the home of q well-known and hospi-

which actually bore the name Of Flower

not to assume to make any individual who

are that Confederate prisoners IN Camp
Morton were cruelty and inhumanly treat
ed: that inoffensive men were shot and
killed. that prisoners were reduced to
such straits from hunger that rats and
dogs and the refuse from the hospital
kitchen swill-tubs were eaten; that many
persisted from insufficient protection from

food.

The Death OF Trees.

MAsslYErrA SPRINGS, Va, April 30, 1891.
To tie Editor ofGe Dispatch;
notice great many. pine trees dying
through the Valley of Virginia as far east
az the Blue Ridge Mountains and con-
tinuing TO the Ohio river. Can you or any
reader give any reasonI The bark seems
to be al full of small holes and the rosln
is somewhat spewed out. If so what made
so many holes. and again couldit be blight!
When the tree is cut down, about thirty
feet from the stump it is blue or widowed,
as some call it. The decline of these trees
has only been In the last four or 1--we
months, and it commences at the top. DC.
READER.
It is not possible for us to express an
opinion regarding the failure OF these trees
without further investigation. From the
description given by the writer of the
query it appears probable that the trees
are infested with insects. This could be
ascertained by closeinspection. If small
portion of the infected bark is sent to Mr..
William Saunders, horticulturalist of the
United States Department of Agriculture,
he will no doubt be able and willing to
give an explanation.
