GENERAL MARKET REPORTS.


Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE opening Of
today's stock mark was irregular and the
volume Of business light London was
nactonally below our closing and had no
significant feature. The first hours trading
in the industrials lacked the buoyancy Of
the past few days and In the absence Of
continued manipulation values yielded
easily. The movement in Sugar is now
asc rioed to the covering Of a long line OF
shorts by a single operator, who, finding
the stock so easily marked up on pure bases
of a fsw thousand shares, not only covered
his short contracts. but continued the buy
ing for long account. By this process a
general covering movement was instiga:ed,
eliminating in yesterdays high figures
and the consequent realizing on the part OF
the originator of the scheme. This left
Sugar unprotected today and traders sold
1t down . per cent TO IS 5-S and met with
no resistance.
The tariff schedule is occupying the I'M
divided attention Of inside interests. SO that
the theory of inside selling has practically,
no foundation in fact.
The action OF Ch.cago's common council
in granting a franchise to a company which
the Chicago Gas people regard as Z danger
Gus rival resulted in a falling of OF l "a
per cent IN the price of the latter property
between closing nEEreS and today UbcG-
ing. The new company is pledged to sup
ply gas at 81 per thousand feet, and FUR
nish gas to the municipal government for
seventy-hve cents q thousand.
BEYOND the weakness at the opening. no
special movement occurred, and the price
was well held in the neishborhOod Of ts;.
Disullers gained 5-S per cent from initial
figures, and subsequently lost per cent TO

The price of spirits in bond was increas-
Ell cents a gallon. Richmond Terminal
attracted some attention by an advance OF
5-s per cent to L. on increased earnings
Of certain branch lines in this system, and
a probable curtailment of the assessment.

being of retail character. Commission
and traders show no disposition to carry
long lines Of stock. An early settlement Of
of the tariff question is expected TO remedy

lowing the direction of the noise. he found

The funeral of Mr.. James l.. Harbour
took place this afternoon at O'Clock from
the residence, 92i 9th street which the
Barbour family have made their home for
many years. The rather old-fashioned
house was crowded to the fullest extent

and another as was Mr.. Barbour. All these
were fully represented at the funeral this
afternoon and carriages were provided to
take them to Mount Olivet cemetery where
the interment was made.
The body lay in handsome casket in the
front of the large parlor. Over 1t was
spread a wealth Of floral offerings sent by
the employees of the deceased, while all
about it was massed huge pile of flowers
wreaths, broken columns, broken wheels
and other such symboliCal offerings the
rememprances OF personal friends and me-
MORALS from the different organizations
with which he had been connected. The
parlor could not begin to accommodate the
crowd of mourners who overlooked in to the
nan ana rear rooms and even on to the
front steps.
The services were of an unusually i'm
pressive nature. They were conducted by
Rev. Father Kervick of St Matthew's
Church Bishop Watterson of Columbus.
ONO. delivered the address in memory of
the deceased.

Penalties on Tax Arrears.

In transmitting the bill to reduce from .
per cent per month to l per cent per
month the penalty chargeable by existing
law on arrears Of general taxes, a mention
Of which was made in yesterdays Star,
the Commissioners say: "A charge of l
per cent, as recommended in the bill, would
be a sufficient stimulus to payment by
those who are able to do so by making it
to their advantage to use the necessary
amount of money to pay their taxes. rather
than to use il in any other way, which is
obviously the purpose of the law on the
subject. The charge of 2 per cent for such
delinquency has therefore, very little in
fiuence as an inducement to prompt pay
ment, but imposes an unnecessary hard
ship upon those who are unable to avoid a
temporary delay in meeting their tax
obligation"
