NEW YORK STOCK MARKET

New York, March 16-The opening of
the stock market gave every promise OF
a repetition of yesterdays course OF
eevnts, the strong buying movement Ill
the Vanderbilt properties which gave ami
nation and strength to the whole market
being renewed at the opening. The bears
were face to face with rather serious
situation, and they opened up their cam
paign to check the advance pressure on
the Granger shares. using the reports of
an unfavorable tenor regarding crop
prospects, and the poor traffic prospects
on account OF snow blockades on country
roads in the northwest as material in the
raid The Changers were, i'll conse-
quencc, somewhat depressed and deal
ings in them fell off But the bear fac
ton found a far more effective instru-
ment in Missouri Pacific, which was
made the centre of attack. There was
no mistaking the persistency and purpose
with which the reports were kept in cir
culation TO damage the credit of this
company. Under the influence of these
rumors, the stock fell continuously, the
decline covering 324 per cent and the
stock touching -. the lowest price on
record
The general market sympathized lin the
decline in Missouri Pacific, the decline
being an average of y. There was,
however heavy liquidation in Missouri
Pacific many stop orders being uncov-
cred The continued drop finally elected
a formal statement from President Geo.
Gould to the effect that rumors of Il re-
Ownership We're absolutely without foun-
dation. IF any of the bond holders
wish TO cash their April coupons now"
Mr.. Gould continued, Il will pay the
coupons at their face value, charging the
six per cent interest on the money thus
advanced" Mr.. Gould added: In my
opinion. the attack on the stock and the
reports of receiyership are the result of
Il desire TO cover short sales III other
stocks. The operators on the short side
of the market cannot make money now
for the country has started on the march
of improvement" Upon the publication
of this statement. a recovery promptly
set in in the Missouri Pacific and even
tually all the loss Of the earlier part of
the day was recovered. The general
market also responding to the improve
ment, the final prices being in many
cases the best of the day.
The bond market moved irregularly on
moderate transactions which included
II wide variety of issues. The undertone
Of the market, however, was firm and im-
portant gains We're registered in some
cases. The sales were 81 100000.
Governments were neglected, but weak
in tone. The sales were $4,000.

DAM CAUSED ALL THE TROUBLE.
Hearing on an Important Case at Nor
way.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Norway, August 27.-An important
hearing has been in progress here during
the week between the land owners on the
Pennesseewassee stream and the Oxford
Light company. A portion of the prem
ises belonging to the abuttors on the
stream are flowed By reason of the dam
maintained by the light company, and
damages to the amount of several thous-
and dollars are claimed. All the suits
were referred by agreement to Judge A.
H. Walker of Bridgton and he has heard
the testimony and viewed the premises.
The closing arguments were made today
by ex-Gov Cleaves for the electric light
company, and Hon. j. S. Wright and
Hon. S. S. Stearns for the claimants.
Gov. Cleaves in his argument raised a
question that had not before been con-
fsidered, in relation to the sewage flowing
into the stream, along the line of Main
street, claiming that it was being illeg-
ally turned into the water privilege be-
longing to the,electric light company by
the claimants and owners of adjoining
lands, and that much of the dam
age they had suffered and
would suffer in the future, if any,
were attributed to these acts. At
the close of the arguments Judge Walker
took the case under advisement and will
report his decision later. Hon. H. l..
Shepherd was present as the representa-
tive of the electric light company.

STRIKERS ARE WEAKENING,
Looks As If the Trouble in the Pittsburs
District Was Over.

Pittburg, Pa, August 27.-It has been
definitely decided to start several mines
along the Wheeling division of the Balti-
more Il Ohio railroad. The prelimina-
ries were, completed tonight and deci-
sive movement may be expected. 1t was
given out that the Cleveland operators

BILE purpose of awaiting the result of the

went, but others did not. Those remain
ing behind were members of the newly
appointed committee whose duty it is to
perfect arrangements for starting of the
mines and in the end break the strike.

BlDDEFoRD's RAILROAD WAR.
Petition Now Circulating for a Citizen's
Meeting to Instruct the Municipal Officers.

Biddfeord, Me, August 27.-A new
move was started Friday in the interest
of the proposed Saco River Railroad COM
pany. whose petition for location OF its
trolley line terminus in Biddeford was
denied by the municipal officers A
petition of business men was started, ask
ing Mayor Heard to call citizens meet
ing, under provision of the city charter,
for the instruction of the municipal
officers in their duty. This will reopen
the question over which Biddeford is SO
thoroughly stirred up.
The opposition to the entrance of the
new company is based on objections to
certain stipulations of the company's s
charter and also on tho belief that the
dividing of the Biddeford and Saco pas-
senger traffic will bankrupt the Biddeford
and Saco Railroad company, whose
bonds and stocks are largely held by local
parties.
