Manor Mention.

Manor, Tex, April 6.-(Special.)-Os-
car Westling of New Sweden lost his
barn, two good horses, one vehicle and
a lot of feedstuff by fire last night; cause
of fire, unknown. r .-I.
The second artesian well contract is
almost completed. The well now is 220O
feet deep and the contractor has only
twenty to twenty-five feet more to drill
to complete the agreement. No other
vein has been struck and it is feared will
not be in the short distance yet to go.
Over $1,000 has been invested in the
project, and as good water is as badly
needed as ever it is hoped more money
will yet be raised if the contracted depth
fails to reach the second strata, and that
Manor before the dry summer comes may
have the long craved artesian water. The
contractors have met with great many
msfortunes and have probably lost
money. The work has been a heavy tax
ON many of our enterprising citizens, but
we must have water and your correspond
ent believes the enterprise will yet be
pushed to success. rr

The Wool Market.

Boston. April 6.-There has been a
large volume of business in the wool mar
ket the past week, and a very strong tone
was noticeable, Territorial woods have
a great demand, and this is giving hold
ers an impetuous desire to push up
prices, and as result few good medium
and fine woods can be picked up below the
secured basis of 35G36c, while choice sta
pie lots are calling for 3SG39c. Fleece
woods are strong, but offerings are taken
freely with full prices ruling

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, April 6.-Interest in selling
stock was very languid on the Stock Elk
change today, and the market was ap-
parently afflicted with an attack Of
spring fever. Many of the stocks that
are usually dealt in had no sales re-
corded, and others showed only a few
odd lots, with not single full share lot
the main were narrow, not offering & srf-
ficient margin to invite offerings, even by
the professional traders. The trading
seemed to be reflected in part from other
centers, London showing nothing doing
in Americans, legislation being so marked
that London agents of some houses
ceased cabling. Boston and Philadel-
phia were also quiet. Such deals as
were made were entirely subjected to
special influences, ard were confined to
few stocks. The absence of liquida-
ton that has characterized recent mar
kets was, however, marked, and the rail
road list was firm. AS an example of
the smallness of the dealings it may be
said that comparative transactions in
New Jersey were due to rather obstruse
calculations as to the proper level Of the
price for the new 4 per cent dividend
basis, compared with other 4 per cent
stocks. There was no news of import
ance regarding the finances of the com
general. New Jersey Central ruled over
range of "a per cent and showed a
loss of a fraction on the day. The
other coalers were affected in sympathy.
Lackawanna lost 1 is per cent on the
day. Delaware and Hudson, on the
other hand, gained net fraction. Trad
ing in Sugar was apparently Influenced by
was quite feature in the dealings and
showed a rather marked decline of / SO
per cent, recovering about half the loss.
The closing down of the company's tan
neries, the prevailing low price of the
products and fears Of a bad effect on the
earnings from the proposed duty on hides
was the cause CT the decline. Chicago
Gas was quite active and rose on cover
ing of shorts. who had sold on the belief
that the company was likely to be un-
favorably affected by the Chicago cleo
ton. There was more or less weakness
manifested in all the specialties. The
railway list, on the other hand, showed
remarkable firmness, especially on Gran
gers. The fluctuations in this group
were confined to a very narrow fraction.
st. Paul alone held steady, at Y L.
through a succession of sales, mostly of
100 share lots. but with one of 200
shares, the aggregate reaching 400
shares before the stock receded 3-8 per
cent. Burlington was almost equally
firm on large transactions. This firm
ness must be largely attributed to sta
bility in the passenger and freight rates
at present in force. The bears We're
not able to make as much out of the
postponement of the Joint Traffic associa-
tons case, appealed to the supreme
court, as was expected. Vanderbilt
