The bull market that started In on Tues
day has continued with unabated strength.
Last night there were several stocks that
were run up at the closing TO anticipated
prices. taking as was expected. other securi'
ties in their wake. This morning, however,
they opened up still further, and, with the
exception OF few declines Of a temporary
character, have held their own firmly. In
London today the market for American So
curities was stronger. Prices were well above
New York parity and the leading issues were
particularly firm.
Mason, in his letter 10 G. Franklin Nugent
& Co., said: ''I hear nothing to make me De-
hevo that the market has turned, but care
full survey since Monday impreses me with
the belief that it is hardening. For several
weeks have not seen so healthy looking a
market, with such firm undertones as the one
we had yesterday, and my impression Is that
Il Is safer for the present TO buy stocks on
weakness than TO sell them shorten small
advances"
The other prognosticators, however, are

ON A CHANGE OF VENUE.
DIR. j. c. Moore's Case Being Argued
Refore the Court Today.


CONCORD, N. H., Dec. 4.-Attorney
General Eastman, In arguing the States
side OF the case against DIR. j. {. Moore
today, spoke as follows: Upon the re-
sropdeat's motion for q change OF venue,
the court orderei that the trial be held
at Nashua. 70 this order the respondent
excepted but did not state his grounds
for execution until the adjournment had
taken place and a jury had been en-
psnelled. BY asking change OF venne
the respondent waived his right to be
trien ut Manche7ter.
Upon this question we claim: 1-That
the motion for change ef-venHe was
suon a waivsr of the respondents right
70 be tried at Msnc hester that he cannot
be heard To complain of an order for
trial at Nashua. 2-That the provisions
OF section OF chapter 207 of the public
statutes do not apply to the adjournment
provided for ny chapter 90 OF the laws I
1895, and that no notice of an adourn-
ment under that act is necessary. In the
order for issuing venues for jurors, the
respondent complains that the jurors
were selected from only twenty towns
and not "from the body OF the county at
large" The phrase "from the body OF
the county at large" does not moan that
Jurors aust be drawn from every town
in the county. As blackstone
suggests. the reason of the matter was
against jurors from the vieiuage and the
law following reason, the practice OF
drawing such jurors was carly discon-
tinued. Nor hos II heretofore been
deemed necessary in this State to retro
grade to the ancient Gothic practice.
Our statute provides that the court shall
so order the drawing OF jurors that each
town may furnish its proportion during
the year. 1t dCes not require that each
town shell furnish q part OF each panel
drawa. curing the year. And when
special panels have oeen drawn for par
ticular cases it has been the practice for
the court, acting under this statute, to
omit those towns In the vicinity OF the
happening OF the facts to be tried.

Sued the Pullman Co.

ST. JOHN. N. b., Dec. 4.-The long
standing suit brought against the Pull
man Palace Car Company by James Nc
tisffigan,a tea merchant OF this city, in
which he claimed go. 600 damages for in
juries to his health as result OF taking
cold in one OF the compsny's cars, ended
TO-DAY by the jury deciding in favor OF
the defendant. The case had been be-
fore the courts since 1892 and has been
on trial before jury in the circuit court
here, for the past 10 days. The plaintiff
claimed that Will, riding from Boston
to st. John, the heating apparatus on
one of the company's cars became dis
arranged, and that bis health was per-
manently impaired as the result of TAX
ing cold.

THE COTTON AND GRAIN ssaRKEr.

In spite of the higher prices in the general
market, cotton and grain continued to tend
lower. The Argentine news today was un-
favorable, the last reports being that there
would be 12 100000 for export. Liverpool cot
ton was lower ON selling orders, wheat was
steady and corn was unchanged. The general
opinion seems TO be that both cotton and
wheat might safely be purchased ON this
break for a good turn.
Luhman, in his advices to Richardson a.
Clark, says, however: 1.-THE decline in Liver
pool is not encouraging. From what we can
learn, trading will be very inactive and any
moderate amount Of buving or selling orders
may easily influence the market in either di-
rection."

PROBABLE UNION OF THE DEMO-
Gratis AND POPULISTs.
Palmer and Buckner, Democrats,
Cut No Figure In the Campaign
Nor In the Election, and VIII Cut
No Figure Hereafter.

CHICAGO, Nov. IA special from
Milwaukee, Wis, says: E. C. Wall.
Wisconsin national committeeman of
the Democratic party, says he has no
apologies to offer for having espoused
the doctrines of the Chicago platform,
and that the Cleveland administration
erred in its handling of the bond issues
and in its unwarranted interference
with the rights of local communities.
lie continues:
The continued success of the Repub-
lican party means the concentration of
power and curtailment of the rights of
the people to govern themselves. L be-
lieve that the present distress in the
land is due to the legislation of that
party during the last 80 years, always
in favor of trusts ana corporations and
centralized power that should rightfully
be left in the people Of the various 10
calities.
The question of bimetallism as OPP
posed to the single gold standard Will
remain a dominant issue, aid Will be
one of the fixed principles of Demo-
cratic doctrine. 1t is more than prob
able that the Democratic and Peoples
parties will become one. In my recent
intimate contact with the leaders of the
Peoples party, 1 have found them to
be an earnest, honest high-nlinded,
well-intentioned and enthusiastic set
Of men, They have the welfare of man
kind at heart.
Il cannot say how many Republicans
voted for free silver. l will say, though,
that the National Democrats are now
here and presume entirely 700 much
when they think the party Will flock
around them and follow their leader
ship. They cut absolutely no figure in
the campaign nor in the election, and
will cut no figure hereafter"

bingham bulletin Notes.

The shipments during October were
considerably smaller than in any pre-
vious month of 1896, and November
begins with little prospect of improve
ment. We have to report shipments
from Old Telegraph leases, 800 tons;
Northern Chief, so; Black Hawk, 20;
hauled by Tom Mayne from various
mines, 200; Dalton and Lark, an in
crease on the September shipments,
when they were FOL tons. CThe line be-
ing down this morning, we are unable
to obtain figures from Leadmil station
of properties tributary to the Dalton
and Lark tramway) The total ship
ments for October approximate 1900
tons.
October is said to have been the first
month in over Is years that not a
pound of ore was shipped from the Old
Jordan and South Galena mines. Lo-
cal causes figured in the entire suspen-
sion, as all work done for some time
has been in the line of development and
putting the mines in repair; but of
course the main drawback is the mar
kets Mr.. Holden is not disposed to
make a move while the present strin-
gency exists. If the hoped-for improve
ment in prices following a settlement
of the silver question should be evil
denced this fall, without a doubt the
company Will ana with
a profitable market, whenever it comes,
will resume former extensive opera
tions. The mines are capable of mar
keting a large amount of ore at short
notice.
Since work was recently started at
the Badger mine the vein has rapidly
improved and is now showing IS
inches of rich sand carbonates and ga
lena. The incline had reached a depth
of 500 feet. and 10 to II feet above
have now been added. An incline
above, following a fissure and at a
dip which draws toward the lower one.
will probably be reached in another rs
feet, and there is every prospect that
when they come together the vein will
be whopper. The Badger is liable to
be a lively shipper next season.
Fred Peterson and partners have Sc
cured the contract for running the new
tunnel of the Henry NJ. group, from
Sap gulch. The site for the Henry NJ.
mill is being cleared, and as soon as
details are completed work will begin
on the foundation. The new owners of
the group are about to incorporate,
probably under the name of the High
land Boy Mining company, and are
planning for extensive operations.
The election and storms this week
have brought mining matters nearly to
a standstill, and there are few features
of interest to report.
