FINANCIALNEWS

Tho market opened of little this morn
ing, but after the first half hour stocks be-
came more firm and II looked as II the bear
raid had ceased. There was considerable talk
on the Street today In regard to the ticker
contract, and the sentiment was badly mixed
Ia regard TO the action Of the board.
Omaha was weak again today and dropped
a per cent. during the first hour. while the
other vanderbilts showed less strength than
usual.
All tho Industrials were weak on the In
PRODUCTION Of the antitrust bill at Albany.
Traders did not appreciate, until late yester-
day afternoon, just how the new bill would
affect the trusts and the discovery that IL
would cause the big companies more trouble
than had been anticipated started the realiz-
ing in the Industrials II is stated today that
there Is no doubt OF the passage of the bills,
and it Is upon this ground that lower prices
should be looked for in the Industrial group.
In London the market for Americans closed
steady. The active Americans were at New
York parity, while the otherswere "A trifle ir-
regular AS the news from the East indicated
no further troubles, there was less effort TO
bring lower prices. Consols closed at lilA.
and tho New York foreign houses had no
orders for London account
Joseph today is of the opinion that the deal
in the Vanderbilts Is temporarily over. In
the case of Canada Southern and Omaha there
is very large speculative interest that must
be digested before another rise can take place.
The bank statement today was very
healthy one and showed that the financial
conditions were certainly fair. 1t was: Re-
serve, decrease. s4.0o4,575: loans. increase,
s457, 500; specie increase. $3.50, 100: legal ten
ders, decrease, ss,046. 900; deposits. decrease,

Anew York dispatch to Hallett, Anderson
g. Co. states that short interest of 10000
shares has been eliminated within the past
ten days, and 1t is believed that the situation
favors the bull operators. although the tenn
porary conditions are bearish.

Suffering From Blood Poisoning.

Hartford, Conn, March 20.-.Antone

ing from a peculiar wound. One night
last week n stranger came 10 his house,

Mr.. Bantlcy took him in and gave him
bed Toward morning being awakened
by peculiar sensation, he found that his
guest had come TO his room and was Bit
ing his knee.
When Mr.. Bantley spoke to the man the
answer received showed clearly that he
had a maniac to contend with. hSpringing
up he grappled with the man. A fierce
fight ensued, but Bantley succeeded in
eiecting the man from the house.
He thought nothing of the wound on
his knee at the time and, as he lives SO
far from town, he did not report the affair
to the police. Later, when the wound
began To trohblc him, n doctor was called.
1t was then found that he was suffering
from blood poisoning. Under careful
treatment IL is thought today that his leg
can bc saved. What became of the mad
man is mystery.

Wesson nickel plated. The chief OF
police at Kansas City was telearaphed
TO last night, but no answer had been
received from him this morning.
There is one circumstance tnat may
lead to the identity of the man and it is
this:
Last Saturday two parties walked
into the ST. Charles hotel and looking
at the register one of them remarked:
YES. he's here and is all right in room
Is" With this remark they laughed
and walked away. The parties were
strangers and have not since been seen.
II they could be found they might
throw some light on the identity of the
dead man.
He ha1 q small amount OF money In
his pocket and an extra suit of under
clothing in a bundle, but no other bag
gage or letters.
Mr.. Neagley thinks the man must
have killed himself Saturday night as
the body was badly swollen Sand the
smell in the room was almost uabear-
able when found.
The blood from the wound back of the
ear ran down under the mans back
and soaked through the bed clothes
and mattress, but part Of the bed
clothes had been thrown back and had
fallen behind the bed.
There is considerable mystery con-
nected with the whole affair and many
think there is some history that Will
later be brought to light over the
strangers suicide.
