Counters,gn on the Frontier.

Web Wilder recites in his ANNALS OF
Kansas" that in 1854. when the first tide
of New England settlers began to drift
hitherward the Missouri9us tied a COW
to each crossing of the Missouri river
When an immigrant arrived at the
crossing he was certain to make some
remark about the animal, and If he
said Cow" he was suffered to cross, but
if he said "keow" he was hustled back
east and out of The country as bloody
minded abolitionist. In retaliation for
this it is said the Kansas fellows tied
bear on their side of the river, and
when an immigrant crossed who called
il bear" he was welcomed with open
arms, but the fellow who called it bar"
was scooted back into Missouri as an UNI
welcome slavery advocate.

Professional Traders Enter Into Spirited
Rivalry for Control of the Market.
BULLS MET FORMIDABLE OBSTACLES
The manipulation in tho Case OF I'm.
dustrinl spccinlties Was Very Open
and PaIpabie--London WINS "a
Large ScIIor OF stocks on balance
in This Markct-sugar Ruled Weak.

New York, Dec. 9.-The bull contin-
gent met with some formidable obsta-
cles In their efforts to advance prices
of stocks to-day and the greater part:
OF their success was achieved with the
industrial apecialties. The manipula-
ton in the case of these stocks was very
open and palpable, but some substan-
tial gains were shown by railroad stocks
on the firm basis OF increased earnings.
There were number Of stocks also
which were persisten:ly heavy in tone,
and required vigorous support to pre-
vent the spread of weakness through
the whole market. This was notably
true Of Sugar, which ruled for some time
below yesterdays closing price and fell
at one time to the extent of point.
London was very large seller Of stocks
on balance In this market, and the vol
ume Of sales on that account is estimated
as high as 10000 shares, embracing all
OF the international stocks. Union Pa
c.fic fell IA on the resolution OF the
Senate to postpone the Kansas Pacific
sale. Manhattan, Northwest and North
ern Pacific and some othrr less prom
inent stocks showed n heavy tone dur
ing the whole of the early part of the
day. These causes together with the
inertness of the Granger group were a
persistent drag on the market
Inc later part OF the day saw q very
animated contest between professional
traders for the control of the market.
In the majority of the standard rail
way shares which were left free from
manipula ton, the changes are small,
though gains approa ching n point are
shown in some Southern railroads which
are showing god earning capacity. Quite
number of small losses are s,hown in
the specialtes, on the other hand, in
Guiding Manhattan, Tobacco, Leather
preferred, Rubber preferred, Brooklyn
Transit, Metropolitan Traction and a
number of the Vanderbllts. gains extend
from poin; to rs. the latter in Man
haitian.
The bond market continued active and
broad, some notable gains being shown
In special cases and the level Of prices
Throughout the list showing a material
advance. ST. Louis and San Francisco
Trust IS are per cent. higher. Mobile
and Ohio is rose rs per cent. in accord
with the rise of Az in the stock of That
company. Missouri Pacific bonds were
all strong. the collateral 5s rising 3 per
cent. further. the cOnsol 6s 2 and the
Trust Us IL. The total sales reached
a par value of s3,S000D0.
Government bonds were strong oil
around, both the old and the new As
advancing 4 bid, and the 5s u bid. The
cotal sales of stocks were $4,000 shares.
