IN WALL STREET TODAY.

Transactions in the Stock Market Limited
and without Significance.
New YORK, July 1.-THE amount OF business
in the stock market decreases daily and
today the transactions were smaller than
on any day yet, although st. Paul was
rather active and Atchison and Burling-
ton showed indications Of some in
terest in those shares. The opening was char
acterless at only slight changes from las. night
figures. and the succeeding changes were
equally as slight, but declining tendency be-
came apparent and. while no material move
ment was to be noticed and no feature Of any
kind was developed the market at II O'Clock
was very dull and heavy, at shade under first
prices.
Money on call is easy at 2 per cent Prime

4s41 for sixty day bills and 4S61 a4S63l for de-
mand. Posted rates, 4S5t9a4S714.
The official report of the mercantile Safe De-
post Company to the stock exchange shows:
Silver bullion on hand, 5342, 545 ounces: de-
posted, 6937S ounces; withdrawn, none; GER
tificates outstanding 5.341.
Government bonds dull and steady:state bonds
neglected. The stock market after II O'Clock
remained In the same stagnant condition, the
business done growing smaller and smaller as
time wore along, and while rather firmer tone
prevailed the changes were still scarcely percep-
tible. Atnoon the market was stagnant and char
acterless at about opening figures. Bar silver,

THE OMAHA CONTINGENT,
bIuK Attempted to Retain Them-They
Start for Washington.

Start for Washington.
The National Base Ball League has appar-
entity begun IA fight on the Washington club A
special dispatch from Kansas City says that the
national board has informed President Kraut-
hoff of the Western Association that the dis
bandment of the Omaha club was illegal and
void and that all the players are still under
contract. As five of the players had
agreed to come to Washington the Nationals
management would be the chief sufferer if all
the Omaha players were recalled A meeting
of the Western Association clubs will be held
this afternoon to take action on the Omaha
matter. 1t is asserted that President kraut-
hoff has received information that Manager
Dave Rowe of the Lincoln Club had been labor
ing with the Omaha players and had induced
all but Shannon, Donnelly and HcCauley to re-
turn.
Director Scanlon of the Nationals laughed
when he was shown the dispatch containing
this information this morning.
''This is all nonsense" he said. Rowe
couldn't have been arguing with the Omaha
PLAYERS Yesterday for two Of them. Shannon
and Sutcliffe, were in Chicago. The other three,
Griffin, Eiteljorg and Hallegan, left Omaha day
before yesterday to Join them. We have sent
advance money and they have accepted it and
we expect them here before long.
1T is not true that they are contract jump
ers The club disbanded and they were re-
leased. Now the Western Association is trying
to get them back again. SO as to keepa club in
Omaha, and they start this cry about contract
jumping. The Omaha players were free to 60
anywhere. There's no question about It,

A TALK WITH DIR. HAsSMErr.
He Is Endeavoring to Perfect Himself in the
Duties of the Health Office


The health officer muddle has been settled
ana everything is serene at the District build
ing. Dr. Hammett was among the early callers
.ilis morning and spent several hours
discussing the administration of the
health department. The Commissioners
FURNISHED him with several maps of the
city showing the locations of the sewers. wa
Ter mains, &c.. together with a typographical
map OF the surrounding country. 1t is under
stood that the Commissioners will not mike
any recommendations whatever in the matter
OF changes, but will allow Dr. Hammett to select
bis own assistants. The principal place under
.ne heaith oihcer is the chief clerkship. Ii has
MIR: j. H. Crane, the gentleman who made
sucn nght against the health officer
some months ago. 1t has been authori-
tatvely stated. though. that the next chief clerk
OF the health department. will be Mr.. SIP Baly.
IT.. the son OF Maj. S. z. Baly of Virginia. who.
1t vii! be remembered, figured in
the contested election case of Raly
against Barbour. Mr.. Bayly was the consul 10
Palermo under the Grant administration. He
Is weil-known Washingtonian. about forty
years OF age. lie married a daughter of Mr.,
John Clagett. At present Mr.. Bayly is living
i'll at his home, suffering from an affection of
the eyes
A STAR reporter interviewed Dr. Hammett
this morning on his new duties. He said; II
am putting in ali my spare time between now
and the date of my taking hold of the health
Office In perfecting myself in the knowledge
OF the duties OF that Office. AT present cannot
say what my policy will be as to changes. l
shall look carefully over the men before decid-
ing upon anything. There is one thing, though.
that can say TO you in all earnestness. and
that Is regarding the collection of gar
bage. This Is "a most important branch of
the service under the jurisdiction OF the
health department, and l intend to in
troduce system of collection as nearly
perfect as possible. My attention shall be
directed especially to this particular branch,
because consider that it affects the health of
city more than anything else. OF course,
shall be equally DESTROYS of perfecting every
branch OF the service and shall do my utmost
to accomplish my ends

A CLOUD ON HIS NAME.

Sir John Macdonald Bequeathed Canadian
Pacific Stock to His Widow.
New YORK, July 17.-An Ottawa dispatch to
the Press says a sensation has been caused by
the discovery that Sir John Macdonald in his
will bequeaths capital stock in the Canadian
Pacific railroad to his wife. The fact that the
head of the government which gave the COM
pany about 800, O0O, 900 of public money had
a block OF its stock in the name of a New York
broker skaters the idea of the personal probity
and poverty of the old man.
