shares The room was inclined to be bullish in
the early trading. one of the features being the
buying Of recognized leaders Of the bear party
and their outspoken utterances in favor Of the
rise. London was buyer 70 a limited extent,
and Gould broke as well as bears we're bidding
for stocks This buying was especially promi
nent IN st. Paul, aud, together with several
others OF the leading shares, it was run up q
large fraction, when the movement eliminated,
and dullness again became the leading feature
OF the market, and, outside of certain special
ties. the price dropped all along the line. Chi
cago Gas was prominent leader in this de-
cline, though IL atterward recovered the
greater portion OF the loss. Northern Pacifcs,
however, were heavy all the way out, the
marketed on the strength of the general
market. Union Pacific. however, became
strong in tbs afternoon. and the upward move
ment. which lasted until ~ had been touched,
was accompanied by the statement that the re-
port for December would be better than gem
orally expected. Changers. even after the col
lapse OF the movement in ST. Paul, were quite
firm, and on slight fluctuations generally scored
small aims Industrials were quiet TO dull

Improvements was small; and Lead while more
active than the rect, failed to move outside of
extremely narrow limits, and this explanation
of insiders that the dividend is equal to 10 per
cent at the present price Of the stock has had
no influence to make its purchase seem desir-
able. The general list showed little movement
or feature after the first hour, but Pacific Mail
reflected the disappointm mt of the holders
over the prospects or slowness of the subsidy
bill by the decline of 2 per cent, and it is to-
night the one stock among leaders which shows
any material loss for the day. On the other
hand, Edison General Electric, on circulation of
the rumor that the Vanderbits were going into
the directory, opened up ~ per cent. higher at
no. and after selling at Ill retired to LOG at the
close Great Northern also showed a marked
advance, but lost portion later in the ay.
The market finally closed dull and steady at
insignificant changes for the day. The sales
of stocks were 10000 shares listed and 1900
shares of unlisted.

Interest Increasinr.

Captain Eastwick, of the government sur
veying corps, is quoted as feeling certain
that the canal from Salmon bay through
to Lake Washington will be constructed,
and that it will be Of great importance to
all the adjacent country, as well as being
of value TO the government ~ harbor for
the navy.
AS before stated, the expected arrival of
the corps of engineers who are to inspect
the survey, has awakened new interest
among the people Of Ballard. The active
Ballard Board of Trade has deepened the
desire of the people to secure the improve
ment contemplated, and every effort will
be made by the board to carry that end.
Not alone has interest been awakened in
Ballard over the formation of the Board of
Trade, but also among many of the Seattle
people. The energy and progression of the
Salmon bay citizens has been commended
by two-thirds of the business men of Sc
attic.
Many people have inquired about the pre-
else time of the meeting on Monday, but
that has not been named yet Mayor Lake
is spoken of as the president of the board,
and as he has been active in the formation
of the organization. it is more than likely
that the honor will be conferred on him.
A constitution and set of bylaws will be
submitted at the meeting, but it is hardly
likely that they will be acted upon, as it is
the Intention to secure all the business
men of the city as charter members, but
some of them will be unable to attend the
first meeting.
The members Of council have not been
able to make the soundings at the mouth
of the bay, but are in hopes of being able
to do so before the meeting of council on
Tuesday night. Even if an estimate of
the cost of removing the sand bars cannot
be given when the body meets, the ques-
ton will be brought up and the matter dis
cussed

A Financial Institution to BE Estab.
lished at Salmon Bay.
The Seattle banks have been doing the
business for the merchants of Ballard ever
since the town was first incorporated, and
the fact that business men were COM
PEELED to come to the city to transact their
financial matters has caused loss of time
and been Of considerable annoyance.
This trouble will be obviated within two
weeks, as bank, which will be strictly a
Ballard concern, will be started as soon as
the building now under construction can
be completed.
Stringers for the foundation have already
frame. 1t is thought the building win be
complete within two weeks.
1t is stated the bank will be instituted bv
gentlemen deeply interested in Ballard.
and will be formed with capital stock of
$4,000. This statement is not official. as
the parties who have the matter in hand
have made no public announcement of the
matter as yet.
When asked about the establishment of
the bank yesterday, one of the gentlemen
said to be interested, stated the building
which was neing built was to be used as q
bank, but he was not at liberty to state
when they would open for bushes. or
what the exact amount of capital would
be, neither would he say whether il would
be national or state bank.
Parties who claim to know saw the hank
will have some of the present officials of
the Seattle banks behind the counters and
Will be incorporated as q state bank. with
the ultimate view of forming a national
bank. The business men of the CITY look
upon the scheme with considerable favor
and predict success for the undertaking.

Oregon Improvement Company Takes
Measures to Collect atJudgment.
Joseph Simon, receiver of the Oregon
improvement Company, sought relief of
the superior court yesterday to restrain
Matilda and John Sagmeister from dispos-
ing Of their property until Judgment in
favor of the company can be satisfied.
The complaint alleges that on January
80, 1891. plaintiff got judgment against
John Sagmeister for s., 73S.0S for goods and
merchandise sold during 1889, and on
February 8 an execution was issued for
that amount and placed in the hands of
the United States marshal for service, but
ON February p was returned by him un-
satisfied. That it appears that John Sag
meister, for q pretended consideration of
81, transferred his property, consisting of
two lots in Hiawatha park, to his wife, for
the purpose of avoiding this execution.
Plaintiff asks for an injunction to re-
strain both defendants from disposing of
this property, which is said to be worth
S. GOD, and asks that the deed Of convey
ance to Matilda Sagmeister be set aside as
mil and void

CLAIMS sKAGIT COAL MINE.

Property.

4 Contestant to the Rich Cumberland
Property.
An interesting case, involving the rights
of two claimants to government mineral
land in Skagit county, was transferred
from the superior court Of that county to
the United States circuit court yesterday.
It IL q suit brought by J. J. Conner against
the Ekagit Cumberland Coal Company, for
the recovery of q mining claim in the
Cumberland mining district of Skagit
county.
Conner says that on August q, 1883, he
located the silver and copper claim desigL
mated as the Grover copper mine and in
accordance with the requirements of the
law, expended the2 necessary amounts re-
quired in development of the claim, but on
August Ii, 1855, Patrick N. Mackay applied
to the register of the land Office and stated
under oath that this land contained only
coal and no other valuable minerals, and
upon that statement patent was issued
to him and the land Office gave him the
claim as coal land. He says that Mackay's
application was false and fraudulent and
the patent thus obtained should be can
celled.
The claim was transferred by Mackay to
the Skagit Cumberland Coal Company for
100, 600 shares Of stock in the company,
and it is said to be very valuable.
