FINANCIAL Ne WS.
Many Prominent Operators
Will Return Next Week.
Bears VIII, II Possible, Dislodge
Northwest Next.
euecial 10 The News.

NEW YORK, Sept IA. Next week will
see the return OF quite number OF
prominent operators who have been out
of the city for some weeks, and with
their advent upon the scene Of specula-
tion more activity and consequently
higher prices are likely to result. 1t IN
an absolute fact that during the past few
days the short interest has been increased
in many directions. Large lines OF but
poorly held speculative stocks have been
forced upon the market and the bulk OF
these have been taken by commission
houses who firmly believe that the bull
movement has by no means eliminated,
and that the reaction that now has ex-
tended to an average of per cent. will
be followed by a rise that will carry
prices to a higher level than that attain
ed on the boom toward the end OF last
month. Flushed with success, those who
have made considerable money on the
short side OF the market are likely to
press their vantage as far as possible.
There is quite an outstanding short in
terest in Northwest which has existed
since the directors reduced the dividend
in last June. 1t will be recalled that the
stock was selling in the neighborhood OF
50 and has since sold above 100. The
bears have made great deal OF money
because OF the success OF their recent,
drives and, If possible, they intend TO
dislodge Northwest in order to make
good their old time contracts.
Temporarily the market Is likely TO be
weak and feverish, because after such a
drubbing as is has had in the past few
days it can not be expected to show much
rallying power.
There Is no news about Sugar-only
rumor. These short breaths insist that
Sugar will sell few points lower. The
lower Wall street people say "lf Sugar
Is raided, II will be an excellent purchase.
GENERAL FINANCIAL NOTES.
London is unchanged for st. Paul and
slightly better for Reading.
The market received a severe blow from
Lizards shipment.
Deposits OF gold by banks brought
about a rally, but good judges thought
the market looked ug.-- at the close.
The situation as regards the treasury
appears that the syndicate will do all II
can, but cannot do much.
There is evidence Of somebody accumu-
lating Reading.
Missouri Pacific is said to be honey
combed with stop orders.
Joseph says: 9" A recovery will be slow
and feverish. Average st. Paul on any
further dip and hold Atchison."

ON THE BOTTLE.
Bringing Up the New Roger Williams
Park Baby.

AT Roger Williams Park, three, weeks
ago, a cunning baby jagusr was born,
and it is being brought up like many a
human baby ON n bottle. Mrs. Winsor.
wife OF one OF the employees at the park,
is officiating as its foster mother, so TO
speak, and the little one is thriving.
This is the fourth animal brought up on
bottle in this country, the third being
the young hyena, so nurtured by trainer
Mark Munroe, and which is now about
six months old, and lusty as you please.
The three lion cubs, which II was feared
might not survive, are reported TO be in
excellent condition and past all danger.
1t Is difficult thing to raise animals in
captivity, especially IL the public are per-
mitted to see them while very young, as
they are easily frightened. 1t is also a
fine thing for the city to be successful In
bringing them TO maturity, not only be-
cause OF their value, but also because of
the difficulty. 1t is stated that the young
lions are worth $1,000 apiece.

An English hat merchant once re-
marked that the state of his own trade
enabled him to tell whether business
generally was good or bad. The new
hat is an article which the prosperous
man desires and an unprOsperous man
can do without. Hence the frequency
with which his customers renewed
the financial state of the people. II
the remark applies equally we'll to this
country, as it ought TO do. business in
the United States now is good. Many
