NEW YORK STOCK .IARKET

New York. Dec 3O.-The stock market
ruled irregular, but mainly lower to-day.
Fluctuations were narrow and the deal
ings were confined to the usual leaders.
Lower London prices and realizing by
local traders were the only APPARENT intiu-
ence bearing upon the speculation. The
on-raction of business was ascribed to
the approaching holiday, the frequency
of reports of bank failures in the west and
the nearby reassemblage Of Congress.
Delaware and Hudson exhibited further
weakness and lost 2 per cent on liquida-
ton. due to theories Of q probable re
duction in the dividend for 1897.
The changes in some of the usually in
active speciaIties were particularly wide,
including Oregon Navigation, preferred,
which fell 3 and Rensselaer, and Saratoga
and Illinois steel per cent each.
The market lapsed into extreme dull
ness after midday and the dealings lack
ed special significance, until near the
close, when a brisk purchasing movement
in Sugar developed, advancing the price
2 per cent. The traders were the prin-
cipal purchasers, but the buying was
called good and was attributed to alleged
executions OF favorable news for the
property from Washington.
The bond market displayed increased
activity and strength with some notable
improvements in the gilt-edge issues on
investment orders. Long Island As were
conspicuous for Il decline to rs, as COM
pared with 8S34 the preceding sale on the
18th instant. The aggregate sales were
81, 742, 900
Governments were dull but a shade
higher. The transactions were $27, 900.

Peasantry Cruelty Treated by Gem
darmeS.

MOSCOW, June Livery effort is be-
ing made to clear the Hodynsky Plain
of the dead upon it who lost their lives
in the disaster of Saturday. To-day a
number of bodies were found on the
edges of the plain and in the villages
around. The dead were injured, and
crawled until death overlook them.
The functions in connection with the
coronation festivities are being given
as though nothing had happened. The
| pleasure resorts are open as usual
Many of the moujiks danced about the
beer casks while the dead were lying
around. 1t is stated that large num-
bers of the injured refused to go to the
hospitals. The mob subsequent to the
disaster stood callously by the corpses
and received the doles.
All the bodies of the victims were in
tered to-day. About half of the dead
were identified The unclaimed dead
filled eleven trenches which were fifty
yards long. Tonight the city has re-
sumed its normal aspect, and a stranger
unless told, would never for a moment
imagine that only two days ago one of
the most frightful calamities that ever
| occurred in Russia had taken place
just outside the city
OVER THREE THOUSAND KILLED.
LONDON, June 1.-The standards"
Moscow correspondent estimates the
number of dead at 5000, beside 1900
injured, who were taken to the hospi-
tails. Most of the injured, he says, will
die. The lower classes of the populace
are intensely exasperated, and language
can be heard on the streets that at other
times would cause the speakers to be
severely punished.
The correspondent adds that when
the police reinforcements and Cossacks
arrived ON the plain Saturday morn
ing, as is customary with them when
dealing with peasantry, they applied
their whiDs cruelty and needlessly,
lashing the moujiks who were on the
outskirts of the crowd. Two of the Cos
sacks were dragged from their horses
by the enraged sufferers and killed
Eight gendarmes were caught in the
crowd, knocked down and suffocated.
NO AMERICANS INJURED.
WASHINGTON, June 1-Clifton R.
Breckenridge, the United States Min
lister at ST. Petersburg, cabled the
State Department to-day confirming
dispatches from the United Press spe-
cial correspondent in Moscow that no
Americans were injured in the terrible
catastrophe on the Hodynsky Plain.
This communication from Minister
Breckenridge appears to be the first
notification he has given the State De-
partment of the great loss of life on the
occasion, and apparently has been
called out by inquiries from those in
this country who have friends in Mos
