NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Bradstreet's flnan-
clal review tomorrow will say:
Waiting and narrow conditions have pre-
vailed in the stock market all this week.
The assurance that the government issue
will be fully subscribed does not prevent
the existence of feeling of suspension
pending the closing of the bids February
5th. Even with the notifications embod-
led IN Secretary Carlisle's circular of last
Thursday, which extends the payment
after the first 20 per cent in allotments
over a period OF three months, there is
thought to be reasonable danger of dis.
turbance in the money market. The dis
solution Of the Morgan syndicate, an
nounced on Wednesday last, was no doubt
inevitable, as no reason could be found for
its continued existence. 1t would seem,
however, that this action renders
the preparations to bid for the
bonds and to pay for them
after allotment more scattered and there
fore more likely to produce an effect on
rates for money, to say nothing of the
probable increased Withdrawals of gold
from the treasury which would result. Ef-
forts to obtain gold for bond subscription
purposes continue, and premium Of one
half or three-fourths or a little higher has
been paid for supplies, the same rates be-
ing quoted for legal tenders. Large trans
actions on this basis occurred early in the
week both in specie and legal tenders,
though the immediate demand has slack
ened and the premium has fallen off cor
Tespondingly. The anomalous spectacle
has been presented of gold both arriving
from and being shipped to Europe at the
same time, the former movement being an
artificial one, profitable only on account
of the premium referred to above.
The absence of selling pressure and the
improvement of prices of Americans in
London caused covering of shorts and some
buying by the small traders during the
early part of the week.
London's purchases were, however, on "a
limited scale and represented the closing
of professional bear accounts in that mar
ket, and at the close of the week the tend
ency abroad in regard to our stocks was
less favorable.

tail Of the biggest fish Omaha ever

There is an end to all things, and

him and serving him up 10
hungry customers, put him IT, a

came soon enough. From being
4 big fish he was rapidly becoming IN
enormous one and each day increased
the troubles of his unfortunate captor.
He was getting o big and valuable

time, his destructive habits threatened
to force his owner into bankruptcy.
Almost every day he managed to break

seemed to look at the people just as

So, when 1t came 70 retire

object! Even the venerable Hol-

been a narrow tank, so that he would
not have much Of a chance to swing

any damage. His reputation for anna

1t came to moving him precaution was
taken to prevent him hurting any one.
This precaution consisted in wrap

head before airy efforts were made To
lift him out of his abiding place. The
cloth was made fast, it was supposed

assembled to perform the task 10
