Speculations Were Dull Again in the
 Stock Exchange Yesterday.

StOck Exchange Iesteruay.
 New York, Jan. 28.-Speculation was extremely dull again to-day at the stock exchange, and in a majority of instances the fluctuations were trifling. The only wide changes were in few of the specialties, certain of which ad yanced sharply, while others declined.
 The trading, however, was so small that no special significance was attach ed to any of the movements. The fact that quotations from Londan came fraotionally higher at the opening did not cause the market to make any re- sponse, owing to the continued lack of orders for outside account.
 Prices yielded M to E per cent, but the losses were soon recovered, only to be followed by another decline which left the leading stocks fractionally be- low last nights finals.
 The declaration of the long expected 3 per cent dividend by the St. Paul and Omaha road led to no activity in that stock, and it closed with net gain of only 1s per cent. Northern Pacific pre- ferred certificates were noticeably strong and advanced from 33& to 35, a well known Broadway house with Washington connections being a prom inent buyer.
 Hooking Valley advanced nearly two points on the announcement that the company had provided for the Febru- ary interest and that the bituminous coal roads had settled their troubles. It is understood that the new agree ment will go into effect at once, and that the roads will get better rates than for some time past.
 Manhattan was sold down 15s to 891, on a vague rumor that the company had decided upon a new issue of bonds but there was partial recovery on the denial of the story. Long Island fell z and recovered l per cent, while Lack awanna rose 1A and later lost the i'm provenerlt. Lake Shore declined one point Manitoba, on the other hand, jumped three points.
 Speculation closed rather weak in tone owing chiefly to the appearance of selling orders in Sugar, which car- fied that StocK aoWH lo AioT2'

upon such subjects to the billiard room fire Damerel Abbey is now one of the most comfortable commonplace houses in England, and not sound ever dis turbed the slumber of the inmates from that day forward, or, to speak more strictly, not 0 sound for which some reasonable interpretation could not be discovered. MT, Pill1ington could do nothing to bring back the spectres which his red brick and pitch pine had so effectively laid. He thinks they must have migrated to some building where they could have matters more their own way, for even the Cavalier Damerel never approached him again with any further proposals about com Ing to an understanding.
 I believe his surmise was quite accu- rate. For the fact was that, having once burned his boats he maintained a consistent attitude of hostility towards the ghostly occupants of the Abbey. The electric light soon blazed in every corner of the house, with dynamo up at the stables which created distur- bance that would have drowned the rattle of the priests letters, even if he had continued to walk up and down the stairs. But the most studied insult he kept to the next year, when, shortly after the academy closed, there ap- peared among the sombre pictures of the Damerels in the dining-room a full length portrait of the first of the Pill Kingdoms. Painted by skilful brush, the lips of the worthy gentleman wear curious smile, which Mrs. Pilkington declares she never saw on the face of her Thomas. There is something, she says, just the least little bit malicious about it--Alfred Cochrane in Long,

 Off he went with good deal about objective and subjective phenomena and the theory of vision. But he deemed it wiser to make no mention of his own experiences. Somehow he be- gan to think they sounded improbable, and if they were believed, there was something a little humlliating about his own defeat After all, Jack was pleased with the billiard room, and that was the great thing. They had a capital game of two hundred-up that very night, in which the older player got seventy-five start, and lost by three points.

MINING NE w =.

Citizen: The Banner mine in the Slerritas district which was bonded recently by Bethune < Satterwhite is showing up finely. tLe} are working two shifts d day and are in fair way to have one of the best mines in the territory. They have large body Of ore which is increasing in volume the further they go into it.
 Star: Captain Burgess has several men sinking and making other de- yelopments on the Saginaw. The concentrations for the company arrived yesterday, and the work of concentra. ting ores will begin as soon as the machinery can be put in place. Maj. Sisson, of Indiana, is one of the prin- cipal owners of the mines under the new management.
 White Hills, in Mohave county is reported 70 be the liyeliest mining re- zion in the territory. Besides the big forty-stamp mill lately put up by an English syndicate which late'y pur- chased property there, there are scores Of smaller mines in operation. There are three times as many men on the ground as there are in Con- gress, and all have employment.
 Globe Silver Belt; A fine body of copper ore, carrying considerable iron, was encountered at depth of 55 feet. in the shaft on the Dadeylle claim few days ago. The Dadeyile is one of the principal claims Of the Black Warrior Copper Co, situated in Webster gulch. Also on the Eagle property, recently bonded by the com pany, sIlphurets have been found in the shaft which Is being sunk.
 Yuma Sun: W. F. Marvin came in this morning from the Oregonian mine, where he has been sacking ore preparatory to hauling to the mill. The Oregonan, which lies in the southern part of the Castle Dome range Of mountains. is a very valua- hle mine, as the ore will average about $50 per ton and there is good large body of 1t. Two shafts have been sunk on the claim, one to a depth of 60 feet and the other about 10 feet, all the way in good ore.
 Jerome News: NJ. c. Monaghan & Go., nave leased the verde mine from Doherty and others. This mine, as will be remembered, was the first one ever located in this district, and from present indications promises to be one or the greatest. It is reported ou good authority that very rich strik. has been made, in fact 1t looks like a ferltable mountain of copper ore. The mine is situated at the foot ol the hill just below town. The fortu- nate owners and lessees are to be con- graduated upon their faith in the Verde, as they have done the assess ment work and development for every year since the location of the proper ty several years ago. With only a small force working they have in a snort time put something over 75 tons or very rich ore on thedump. Messrs. Monaghan X Co.,, have also bonded claim, owned by the Hon. c. W. Hull, adjoining the Verde.

Aftermath of the Funding Bill.
(San Francisco Post


Since the defeat of the funding bill it's
enemies have been dumfounded. They
did not know what they were doing
when they opposed the funding bill. and
they do not know now what they have
done For instance, the Oakland En-
quirer" says:
IF a syndicate of stockholders is
wiling to give the Government S45. 600
600 for its interest in the Union Pacific
and Kansas Pacific it is reasona BILE to
believe that the same syndicate or some
other Will make an equally large offer
for the Central Pacific"
The Enquirer has not read the cur
rent news to any purpose Whatever.
A syndicate has offered to give the Gov
ernment S45,0O0,0O0 for it's claim
against the Union Pacific. agreeing to
take the sinking fund accumulated by
service of the company and payments
under the Thurman funding bill at par.
The sinking fund referred to i'm this
amounts to SIT ,O50,340.
But when il states that it is willing to
give S45. 100000 to the Government if
against the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, and take the sinking fund of
over S11 100000 at par it is simply offer
ing for the Governments claim against
the Union Pacific S27 .93S, 900.
The Oakland Enquirer is relying on
the Sam Francisco Examiner for its
information, and the Examiner has
been floundering ever since the funding
bill was defeated. 1t discovers that the
statements made by the friends of the
funding bill that the Government stood
to lose $4,000 900 or 500. .OOO. 900 is GO
ing to be fulfilled. A syndicate that
would offer S45,000,0OO if the Govern
mem would give ii back SIT 600. 900 in
change is not an honest syndicate. The
Government already has that ST. .0OO.-
coo 1t consists of the Very bonds for
which the Union Pacific owes the Gov
ernment, the very bonds issued in aid
of THE construction of the line. If it
had been a candid. open. honest syndi-
cate 1T would have said that 1t was
willing to give the Government of the
United States ST .93S, 900 for its claim.
for that is exactly what it is proposing
to do on the face of things.
The Government is now offered S2S.-
OOO. 600 for it's claim against the Union
Pacific. This would make the value of
the claim against the Central Pacific
about $13.000,000 Altogether then. we
have returned to the $40, ,0OO. 900 propo-
sition made by Senator Thurston at the
last session of Congress. Twenty-eight
million dollars and S13,0OO.OOO are SILL
GOO. 900, which amount is offered to the
Government for claim which aggre-
gated S121 100000 on the Both of last
November. and which now amounts to
about $122 100000 This leaves a claim
of the Government in the amount of
approximately $S0.000.0O0 unprovided
fer; and the committee Of fifty, the
