duce-Review of Trade.

New York Feb. 21.--To-day's heavy de-
cline in the stock market was made with
out another actual new development in
the situation but was rather to be at
tributed to a combination of Impressions
which have been the underlying force in
speculation for "a week or more. To-day's
market demonstrated for one thing that
last weeks decline would have been much
heavier on the developments in the Cuba
question had it not been for the support
of powerful interests who desired an OPP
portunity TO realize. The entire absence
of support to-day gave color to the sup
position that those interests had COM
pleted their liquidation and We're indiffer-
ent to the course of the market The
motives assigned for the selling had less
sappareht basis in fact than were fur
nished by the developments of last week.
So far as they turned on the Cuban ques-
ton they dealt with speculations on pos
sible future events and abstruse
points of international law without any
convincing authority TO back them APP
prehensions growing out of the rate war
for passenger business between the can
adian Pacific and our own trans-conti-
mental lines HAD a more substantial basis,
though soothing suggestion was offered
that the profits and dividends were not
largely dependent upon passenger Dusl-
ness anyhow. There seemed to be no
realizing sense that this suggestion was
Inconsistent with the large advances
which had been forced In the price OF Sc
curities on hopes of l<londike traffic. The
great snow storm in the West was also
a factor of real Importance, both by rea-
son of the interruption to railroad trafhc
and the possible damage to cops. What
ever the real motive, it was beyond dis
pute that there We're large offerings of
securities for which there was no ade-
quate demand and selling orders to stop
losses were uncovered on the descending
scale. Declines were so great that the
prices that looked attractive as bargains
were reached in many cases. and buying
thus invited steadied prices and worked
recoveries This was repeated several
times during the day and the market
closed with another rally in fun force,
thus leaving the net declines decidedly
smaller than the extreme declines during
the day A feature of the day was the
marking up of all call loans to ia per
cent in accordance with the reduction in
the surplus reserve. The local market
paid no attention to the firmer tone on
foreign exchange due to the subsistence
of apprehension over the West African
situation. which was regarded with such
acute misgivings on the local exchange
on Saturday. London was buyer on
balances in the New York market to-day
The course of the bond marketH was in
accordance with stocks in both declines
and rallies. The loss at one time was

Financial Cablegram.

New York Feb. 2l.-The Evening Posts
London financial cablegram says: The
stock markets here opened fiat to-day on
politics. A recovery at midday was fol-
lowed by n further sharp fall, mainly on
bear operations and New York sales of
Americans. Paris bought steadily through
the day, including Americans. but this
was powerless to support the market.
Unless there should be n sharp rally to-
morrow morning, big differences are to be
met notably in Grand Trunk and Amer
leans, by weak operators. At the same
time there have also been commitments
in the last few days.
New Yorks heavy selling tonight. oe-
curing on the eve of the settlement here
and the holiday in the United States to-
morrow, demoraliZed the market and
caused gloomy feeling. Grand Trunk
and Canadian Pacific being IS to So lower
than at the last settlement Argentnes
were better. Mines were dun. The set
tlement in that market is featureless.
Gold is in fair demand at 17s. 9Ad., but
the demand is now confined TO South
Africa. There is good reason to believe
that but for this gold might go to the
Bank of England. French exchange has
been easier but closed firm at last week $
high rate of 25.27. 1t is expected that re-
sumption of purchases of stocks here by
French capital will induce further rise.
France will also soon find 1t necessary to
make large purchases of wheat.

Dewar Must Go.

Great Falls, Feb. 21-This morning
Lewis Dewar was arrested on the charge
of associating with prostitutes but re-
leased on his promise to leave the city
at once. He is the man who, in company
with Inez Casey, rolled a gentle shepherd
last fall while the latter was on visit
to the bad lands. The pair We're released
on a writ of habeas corpus issued from
the district court during this month. but
have not yet left the city. The police
have been busted ever since their release
in accommodating evidence against them,
and now have enough to make Great
Falls too hot to hold them. Ii is a for
tunate thing that there is left a means
of driving criminals from the city when
it is impossible to punish them for their
crimes.
The only other case in court this morn
ing was that of a young man employed
as driver. His employer piled him with
too much beer on Saturday evening and
in consequence he was found in a help
less condition on the south side of the
city. He was allowed TO depart in peace
with some good advice from the court

AFFAIRS IN THE COUNCIL.
Various Matters Are Discussed Mt Short
Session.

Great Falls. Feb. 2l.-The city council
met at the usual time tonight, with all
members present. The committee on
public improvements reported that the
First avenue north bridge over the Mis-
souri, needed replanking, general tighten
ing up of bolts, repainting and loading
the piers with stones. The committee
was considering the sability of paw
ing the bridge instead of replanking. The
matter was left to the city engineer.
The special committee appointed to con-
slider the matter of the taking care of the
grass and trees on the Boulevard avenues
reported that while the best method was
municipal care, the safest was by con-
tract. However, as the property owners
preferred that the city should do the
work, the matter was sent back to the
committee for further deliberation.
The special committee the matter of
the purchase of water works asked fur
ther time, which was granted All appli-
cations for the city herd jobs were re-
ferred to the ways and means commit
tee.
The mayor stated that no appointment
to the vacancy on the police force caused
by the resignation of Officer Trevilleyan
would be made until absolutely necessary.

nervousness the market displayed. The
Letter representatives claim that they did
nothing with to-day's market. The crowd
believed that good portion of the buy

SIX HUNDRED A NIGHT
One Man Who Has a Gold Mine
in a Lodging House.
COST HIM ONLY $1,000
Mr. Falligan Was Not Favorably I'M
pressed With What He Saw in
Alaska-The Country Full
of Crooks.

Great Falls, Feb. 21.-George Falli-
gan, formerly the proprietor of the
Anaconda Meat company at Belt, ar
rived in this city to-day on his return
from a trip to Alaska. He has visited
Skaguay, Dyea, Juneau. Fort Wrangel
and other coast points, and he returns
with the conviction that while 1T is all
right for a man who is anxious to spec
ulate it is not going to be a great coun-
try for the legitimate prospector All
of the ground is taken up along the
Klondike and it's tributary creeks, and
while some of the claims have gold in
abundance. more land has been taken
up as mining claims which will never
yield a cent On his trip he was talk
ing with the representative of the San
Francisco Examiner. Mr.. LiyernaSh
and the latter told him that from the
most careful calculations he could get
there would not be to exceed SI,000,00O
brought out during the coming season.
Mr. Falligan says that the best thing
he saw in that country was at Skag
uay.-., "A man. had 600 cots there in a
tXo-story building of rough lumber,
and for the rent of this he took in just
$500 per night. AS the original invest
ment could not have exceeded $1,000,
the profit made was very decent. Skag-
uay is a much better town, Mr.. Falli-
destined in his opinion, to be more
than temporary camp.
Fort Wrangel, at the mouth of the
StickeeH @riyer, is to become the big
town dIiTing4the coming season. A saw
mill has been set up there and is run
ming day. and night to fill its orders.
The population of all these new towns
is made UP of the scum of the earth.
All of the disreputable characters and
the toughS of every country have
ffocked to Alaska, and they will give
the police plenty of work. While every
boat which leaves the United States is
supposed to be searched by the revenue
officers, a large amount of whiskey is
carried up in spite of their efforts. On
the steamer on which Mr.. Falligan
sailed. the officers found two trunks
filled with what seemed to be cans OF
tomatoes. On breaking in the head OF
one of the cans the officer found whis-
key and confiscated the two trunks OF
it. Yet on that same boat there was
carried an invoice of more than 100 gal
Ions. which escaped the officers, with
or without their consent.

ARRESTS HER OWN SON.
Mrs. Henry of Orr Thinks She Has Been
Robbed of Cattle.


Great Falls, Feb 21.-This afternoon
A. S. Sieres, deputy sheriff. brought in
AL S. Henry and J. w Lentz from Orr.
The two men are charged with the
theft of eight head of stock by Mrs.
Louisa NJ. Henry, the mother of one
of the prisoners. The complaint al
leges that some time ago a local butch
er, G. Nj. Byersdorf. met the defendants
on the range and contracted with them
for some cattle. The defendants de-
liyered the cattle to him of the brands
named in the complaint, and afterward
when Byersdorf filed his monthly state
ment of cattle killed in the county
clerks office, these cattle We're on the
list. They We're the property. of the
complaining witness, who swears that
she never authorized the sale, nor did
she participate in the proceeds. In
other words, she was ignorant of the
whole proceedings until the list of cat
tie was filed by the butcher. The pre-
liminary examination is set for Friday
morning at 10 o'clock.
The complaining witness, who is
quite an old lady, told the officers that
while she was prepared to swear to the
was convinced that her son had stolen
more than 100 head from her. People
Who know the family say that the son
has been conducting the cattle business
for his mother for number of years,
and the arrests are but the result of a
family row and the old lady, without
knowing the facts. believes that her
son, with others, has been robbing her.
In the past few years she has had nu-
merous rows with neighbors and others
doing bushes with her.
