Review of tho Market.

Henry Clews' Weekly Financial Review"
issued today, says: During the past week there
has been what may be considered healthy
break in the stock market. combination
Of influences has favored tho disposition OF the
'bears" to make demonstration in force
against the 'bull' side. There was enough
material in this combination Of circumstances
to back q reasonable extent OF selling. and it
was skillfully used by the bear" leaders, fol-
lowed by tho whole rank and file. vigorous
demonstration made on Tuesday resulted in
decline of IL to points throughout the
list. This success, however. developed an ex-
cess of short sales, and the discovery Of
the dangerously oversold condition OF the mar
ket caused. on the following day. u rally to
about the range Of prices from which the de-
cline started.
This movement has served n useful purpose.
AS a trial of force between the two sides it has
demonstrated that the bulls have not vet
lost all their advantage. As test of conf de nee
1t shows that there are buyers ready to take
whatever stock the bear traders NAV throw
at them at tempting prices. AS a symptom Of
the general spirit of the market it shows the
permanency Of the ''bull' element O disposi-
ton to continue to hold rather than wearine 81
of holding, and preponderant expectation Of
q boom later on. The result OF Tuesdays fight
has therefore been distinct gain for the mar
ket. as il has increased the activity. The course
of the market for the next few months will very
largely depend upon the maintenance of an
attitude of moderation. As conditions now
stand. there is nothing to warrant extreme ad-
vances, and attempts to force prices largely
beyond intrinsic values are not likely to pay
those who participate in them.
So fay as respects influences acting from out
side the market there has been no important
change during the week.

A FIRE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.


Fire broke out yesterday afternoon about s
o'clock in q small brick house located in Oak
alley between NJ and and 3lst and SD streets.
For some timo it was confined to the place Of
origin, but later on the two adjoining bricks
caught and a wealth of smoke overshadowed
for nearly an hour the place. No. and her
men were at the fire in an incredible short space
OF time and saved from considerable loss the
buildings. The fire originated. it is said, by
the dropping OF an ignited match in n knot
hole. The flames were chiefly confined between
the walls and inner plasteripg.

of the waterway the great trough is still filled,
but IT is only for the use Of the mills. Canal

have sought employment on the new railroad,
