New York, Jan. 22.-The chief feature
of today's speculation on the stock mar
ket was the sharp upward movement
which followed the announcement that
the pooling bill had been reported to the
senate without amendment.
1t was unexpected news and the short
made haste to cover their outstanding
contracts fearing lest the market
should be put up on them. After the
furry caused by this news buying had
subsidized prices sagged off again. At
ter a firm opening and a fractional
advance in the early trading the mar
ket became irregular and in the main
weak, the depression being assisted by
selling of the international stocks for
the London account. Delaware and
Hudson sold down IL per cent; New
Jersey Central and Canada Southern
IL per cent; Reading and c. c. G. &
st. L., 1 per cent and other shares
fraction. The lower figures made for
Big Four buying of the stock which
resulted in an advance therein of IA
per cent and some other stocks rallied
trifie. Baltimore and Ohio, which
dropped ] per cent, and the Cordage
shares, which receded fractionally.
We're expectations. Speculation had
become steady at noon and shortly at
ter the Washington dispatches touch
ing the advancement of the pooling
bill which sent prices up with rush.
the Changers advancing 5sm7s per cent,
New Jersey Central and Baltimore and
Ohio IL per cent and the general list
1sM& per cent with some few eXcep-
tions in which losses were made, nota-
bly, Canadian Pacific 1$s per cent. To-
ward / o'clock the upward movement
began to lose its force and bear raid
was entered upon which quickly chang
ed the temper of the speculation. The
coal shares bore the brunt of the at
tack, New Jersey Central being forced
down IL per cent, Reading IL per cent,
and Delaware and Hudson l per cent.
The Changers fell sal per cent, the lat
ter Rock Island, and Sugar q per cent.

DRy GOODS MARKET.

New York. Jan. 22.-The usual Tuesday
quiet was broken by the presence of a
large number of buyers whose inquiries
We're mostly for seasonable specialties
rather than for staples. These were fol-
lowed by moderate sales. As usual the
deliveries on former purchases returned
large sales besides absorbing the entire
receipts of many classes of goods. Print
ing cloths firm at 2ia cents plus l. per
cent bid and declined and small sales at
21b plus per cent.

The entire de pertinent, with the exception of the truck, turned out, but the run was long and bad one and some difficulty was experienced in getting to the blaze By the time the department got to work good the flames were rapidly consuming the building and all of its contents Plenty of water was used, but to little advantage, for the building was too far gone. It was a frame one and burned briskly
 The building is total loss. and very few things were saved from it. The house was occupied by Mrs. Ware and her family, Mir. and Mrs. Albert Seals, MT. and Mrs. Jerome A. Tucker and Mir. and Mrs. Snider

 Insurance was carried on the house and little on the personal property.
