MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall street Review.

New York, Jan 2i,-The tendency of the
stock market was toward "a lower range
of prices again today. Considering the
sharp break in some of the specialties and
other unfavorable developments, however
the leading shares held comparatively
steady, the net losses for the day in such
stocks as the Changers, Chicago Cas- Su-
gar and Louisville and Nashville showing
losses of only Il to IL per cent. The dull
ness and absence of outside orders opcr-
ated against any improvement in prices
The sensational incident of the day was
a break of 12A in Hooking Valley Pre-
ferred and of Sas in the common. The de-
cline was started by an effort to market
a small amount of stock. In the absence
of supporting orders the bears found 1t an
easy matter to bring about the subse-
quent sharp fail, especially as Il rumor
was circulated that a receivership for the
property was imminent. Vice President
Davis subsequently denied the rumor, and
the common rallied 3 points. The com
pany, in common with the other btumi-
nous coal carriers has suffered from the
fierce war that has been waged between
them for a long time.
Speculation closed steady in tone, at
rally in the general list of Is to Il per
cent. from the lowest of the day. Total
sales 153.25O shares.

MEETING OF FIREMEN.
Delegates from Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey, Indiana and
Illinois Meet at Cleveland.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 21.-Delegates
from Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York,
New Jersey, Indiana and Illinois, met
this morning to discuss questions per-
tanning to the welfare of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen. Dele
gates from one hundred lodges to the
number of five hundred We're present.
Secret work took up all the forenoon.
The first thing taken up in the afternoon
was the question of amalgamation. A
delegate said:
1T is proposed to amalsamate the
firemen, engineers, conductors, railway
trainmen and railway telegraphers into
one organization, the whole to be char
tered by the American Federation of
Labor. This proposition will bring out
a bitter fight. The southern and a
great many northern men are opposed
to this plan. In the first place we do
not think the engineers will come with
us. In the second, we would lose our
identity in a degree by afiliating with
the Federation and such course would
abrogate the color line which is now
sharply drawn.
ION the southern roads there are
many negro firemen. They are work.
ing for less wages than white man re-
ceives. The southern members are bit
terly opposed to their recognition. I'm
der the Federation we would have to
recognize them, for most of them be-
long to some organization which is rep
resented in the Federation. ! believe
the amalgamation plan will go down on
those grOunlS.'

DELAWARE SENATORIAL WAR.
Candidates Addicks and kenney viii
Transfer the Fight to Washington.

Washington, Jan. 2l,-The struggle
for the senatorial seat from the state
of Delaware will soon be transferred to
Washington. This afternoon j. Ed
ward Addcks, who claims title to the
seat, reached Washington, carrying his
credentials and on the same train came
r. r. Kenney, with certificate signed
by the governor. Meanwhile the claim
of Dupont for a rehearing is being con-
sidered by the committee on privileges
and elections. Mr.. Addicks held long
conference with Senator Chandler, act
ing chairman of the elections commit
tee, and Mr.. Kenney was closeted foi
some time with Senator Gray, of Della
ware, who was the chairman of this
committee under the Democratic ad-
ministration of the senate.
The manifesto issued by the MEM
bers of the boiling Legislature of Della
ware, signed by the residing officers of
the two bodies appears in the shape of a
petition asking congress to investigate
the recent elections in Delaware.

IRON AND STEEL TRADE.
The Outlook as Viewed by the Ameri-
can Manufactures.

Pittsburg Pa, Jan. 21.-The American
Manufacturer, in its edition tomorrow,
VIII say concerning the outlook in the
iron and steel trade:
Our reports Of the iron and steel mar
ket at various points this week show
the trade to be dull and featureless.
There seems to be a continuation of the
waiting policy. The eastern market re-
ports dullness, but negotiations are
now under way for large amount of
business which is expected to be closed
within the next two weeks. At Phila-
delphia more of the common grade of
pig iron is now being sold than for a
long time. Chicago reports very little
general Improvement but the under
tone Is better, The unsettled condition
of the bessemer steel market seems to
have a bad effect on all lines. In the
western market foundry irons are
weaker, and some quite low figures on
bar iron have been mentioned. At Gin
