Silver at the board was neglected.
The market for securities was irreg-
ular throughout the day and the trad
ing was on a small scale. The total
transactions amounted to 1892 shares.
Opening figures as rule were below
last nights finals, but the declines, eX-
cept in isolated stocks, were unusu-
ally narrow There was a little pres
sure to sell Jersey Central and Leather
preferred and these issues lost about a
point or so. West Union was heavy on
the Sage interview published yester-
day regarding the future dividend pol
icy of the company. Jersey Central
continued to be adversely Influenced by
the poor condition of coal trade and the
likelihood Of a reduction in the dlvl-
dend rate. In the last hour of the
session attempts were made by the
smaller shorts to cover contracts. This
impaired a firmer tone to speculation
and the early loss was generally re-
. covered. The Vanderbilts displayed the
greatest strength, New York Central
advancing a full point, to 100Ss Della

the anthracite coalers, rising to with
in a fraction of 103. In the industrial
group Sugar was steadier on the an
nouncement of the resumption of oper-
atoms by refineries in Philadelphia
The market at the close was firm in
tone Net changes show gains of "a
l per cent in some instances and losses
of about as much in others. Leather
preferred lacked support throughout
and closed weak with a net. loss of
q Der cent While the weekly bank
statement was disappointing, it had
no special influence on speculation A
contraction in loans of $1,745,50O, re-
fecting the inactivity of general bus
mess, was considered the most unfav-
olabIe feature of the exhibit. A loss
of 81. S52. 300 was reported in cash and
deposits decreased 81, 496, 800. The loss
in surplus reserve was $1.229,l75 and
the banks now hold S47,593,5I0 in eX-
cess of legal requiremnts.
The bond market was higher today
Sales footed up only $152,0OO.

Charged With Forgery.
A special to the Philadelphia Press
from Glenville. W. Va, says: Inter-
est in the trial of Governor Atkinson's wife
or a charge of forgery was intense from
be ginning to end. From early morning I'M
til late at night the court house was COM
pietely surrounded by a Gordon of vehicles
belonging to the first families of this sec
ticn. Many of the poorer people who did
rot want to pay hotel bills brought their
lunches with them, and they pienicked in
the grass during the recess.
One of the principal witnesses for the
prosecution, Camden Summers. grandson of
the late G. d. Camden, Governor Atkinson S
predecessor as husband of the defendant,
whose name is alleged to have been forged,
occupied the stand all day. His testimony
was direct and given unhesitatingly. Dur
ing much of the time he ideE titled bundles
of receipts and letters signed by &c. d.
Camden, per Myra, his wife"
The croSs-eXaElination was sharp and in
tended 20 be confusing, but Summers has
passed through it all without being shaken
On any vital points. He will resume the
stand tomorrow morning. The trial has
bsen progressing very slowly on account of
the stubborn resistance made by the de-
tense. which contests every step of the
way.
Mrs Atkinson was cheerful during the
trial To-Day. though the evidence against
her was strong. She seems to be sure of
Ter acquittal and calmly bids her friends
to wait for her side of the case before
passing individual judgment Her case re-
cel.eu dow today, however, when the
