A DULL STOCK MARKET.
FEEBLE FLUCTUATIONS BUT NO I'M
PORTANT CHANGES.

An Ea arly Improvement Wiped Out by Bear
Hammering Before the Close-The Mar
ket Closes Quiet and Heavy-Changes
Slight.
NEW YORK, Dot. s.-The stock market to-
day exhibited little life in any of its parts,
and once more dullness became one OF the
ruling features of the dealings, though after
considerable e strength In the forenoon the
hammering operations of the traders and
bears were sufficient to cause the entire loss
of the improvement. The foreign purchases
were the principal cause of a strong and
higher opening here, the advances over last
nights figures extending to "a per cent.
Domestic operators, however, made a very
feeble response to this movement and, in
fact the disposition to buy at present has
been reduced to a minimum.
The early improvement was supplemented
by further fractional gains in some stocks
during the forenoon but not until the lead
ing shares had been again depressed to
about last nigh}s level by the persistent
pressure from the bears side. The bear
harnmering operations were abated after
noon for q time, and the market showed an
approach to midsummer dullness, but prices,
relieved of the depressing influence, made
some advance. The low-priced Vanderbilts
Atchson, Burlington, Rock Island, Chicago
Cos and some specialtfes made considerable
improvement.
Prices, however, never got Iar from those
of the opening, and in the last hour another
sharp attack was made upon the Atchison
securities, and the stock reacted nearly l
per cen; on large transactions, wiping ont
all tbs former gain and sonething in ad-
dition. The general list responded feebly to
this attack, Rock I:Ssad O ID Missouri Pacific
showing most weakness under the pressure
The market finally closed quiet and rather
heavy, generally at Insignificant changes
from the opening figures as well as from
last nights prices. The final changes are
irregular, and in all cases for small frac-
tions.
Railroad bonds were more animated than
Yesterday, but followed the share list in be-
ing without feature of moment, the attack
upon the Atchison incomes in the last hour
making those bonds prominent again in the
dealings, being the only occurrence of note
throughout the day. The total sales were

THAT CREMATORY SITE.
The Furnace Will Not Be Located
Until the Mayor Returns.


The council committee Oh health and
hospitals still wrestles with the I'M
portant question of a location for the
proposed crematory, with no improve
ment in the prospects for settlement.
AT the regular meeting of yesterday
this topic was discussed at some length,
but no formal action was taken. there
being general disposition to await the
return of the mayor that the question
may be decided by full meeting of the
board. Several sites have been pro-
posed, one on Aid. Ingenhutt's farm.
one near Forest Heights. and an
other near the King tract, northwest
of Lake Harriet, but all of these
have been found to be in certain re-
spects impracticable, and it is feared
that it will finally become necessary to
fall back on the site originally proposed
at the wOrkhouSe grounds.
This DR.. Kelly says he will never con-
sent to, as the distance from the city is
so great as to materially interfere with
the satisfactory operation of the plant.
In conversation on this subject he said
yesterday:
81 do not want to be instrumental in
locating that $4,000 crematory plant
out in the country there, and to have
people point to it in future as sKelIy's
folly If it comes to a vote on the
workhouse site l shall certainly go on
record as voting against ito
The other members appear to agree
with DR.. Kelly on this point, out some
of them fear that they will have to de-
eide upon the workhOuSe site.

George A. Bracket raped for order

met for the purpose of making its will.
The committee that has had in prepara-
ton the official souvenir of the festival
reported that that scheme would better
be abandoned. 1t would take so long to
ger up proper souvenir that interest
in the festival would have died out
before it could be placed in
the hands of the public. In lieu of
souvenir stereopticon and some
views of the parade will be placed in
the public library. One hundred dol
lars was appropriated to pay for it.
The committee voted $500 to the fire
department to go toward paying for the
departments new coffee wagon. The
committee collected $1,000 and $3.50
remains unspent. This sum will be
divided pro rata among the subscribers
to the festival fund. All who object to
this disposition of the money will have

who left the city about the time of her
