GRANGER SHARES WERE STRONG

Situation Abroad.
GEN NERAL MARKET REPORT
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, November l4-Opening
prices in today's stock market were main
ly firm around last weeks closing parity
London sold some stocks to take profits
| and local room traders followed the ex-
ample during the greater part of the day.
The foreign political outlook and the posi-
biities of the Paris situation were factors
of considerable prominence throughout the
day.
All things considered. however. those de-
string TO sell found an exceptionally will
ing market. and no significant declines in
the general list are reported.
The low-priced securities were taken in
round amounts by certain speculative fol-
lowing, who believe that the merits of the
dividend-paying issues will dim the ds.
merits of their less fortunate neighbors.
The fact that no especial effort has been
made to force these low-priced issues into
a position Of actual leadership also acts
as incentive to the effort.
The granger issues were easily advanced
for time, Rock Island, Burlington and St
Paul all being the subject of buying of the
character usually described as good.
In a few instances, notably in the iron
and steel properties, there were evidences
of neglect on the part of those heretofore
most active in forcing up prices. This re-
suit is said to be entirely in harmony with
is pr mably but a temporary condition.
The report of Manhattan for the quarter
ending September 30 reflects deficit aft,r
dividend charges of S320062, compared
with a deficit of S144, SS9 for the same
period last year. The covering of outstaTd-
frg short contracts upon the publication
of these figures advanced the price of the
stock IL per cent.
The trading in American Sugar was of
tn. same senSa tiOnaI character as that Of
Saturday, but with opposite results. Open
ing at 20, the price was sold down under
liberal offerings for decline of more than
q per cent. This retrngade movement de-
sroyed all but per cent of Saturdays
forced advance and disclosed the manipu-
lative character of the present movement
in those shares.
An advance of Il per cent in refined
sugars was announced during the day and
vas followed by an advance of per Gent
from the low level of the morning. Ameri-
can Tobacco was less active than usual.
but the same tendency toward realizing and
mixed selling was noticeable.
The movement in these high-priced in
dustrials issues is so thoroughly manpu-
lative that it is difficult to determine from
surface conditions just what progress is
being made toward an adjustment of trade
differences
The strength of the railroad list is of a
character which may become superior to
the influence of the erratic action in those
industrial properties. The continued de-
mand for bonds and high-grade invest
mentS indicates that something more than
immediate returns are contemplated Lon
don houses share the view also and pre-
dict demand well up to the beginning of
the new year.

THE WILMINGTON REFUGEES
They Visited the Department of Justice
This Morning.
Claim They Were Run Out of the
State Because They Were
Republicans.

Three of the Wilmington, N c., refugees
have arrived in Washington and this morn
ing called at the Department of Justice,
where an appointment for a conference
with the officials was made for this after
neon. They are r. H. Burning, United
States commissioner and justice of the
peace; John r. Melton, ex-chief of police,
and c. H. Gilbert, superintendent of city
carts. According to their statements. mad2
this morning, all were seized without war
rant and escorted to the railroad station
by an armed and jeering mob, which shout
ed ali sorts of insults after them as they
marched along. Nv hlte nlggers' appeared
to be the least of tha insulting names with
which the crowds greeted them at every
step. Once on the train they were told
in forctble language that if ever again they
set foot in Wilmington they would be shot
on sight.
When their train arrived at Newberne it
was boarded. they say, by former Mayor
Ellis ana a lawyer named Guyon, and they
were informed that ii would not be safe for
them to remain there any length of time.
So they took the first boat TO Norfolk.
Brown, a negro from Wilmington who did
not leave Norfolk at the same time with
them, they had since heard was set upon
by a crowd and terribly beaten in the
city post Office. At other precincts they
We're warned not to stop. The three men
are at present staying at a small hotel on
pennsylvania avenue, but what they will
do or where they will go from here is a
serious question with them. They say they
dare not return to their homes in Winning
ton, as they feel certain that the threats
OF the mob would be carried out and they
would be shot. They plead not guilty to
every charge made against them, and in
sst that they were run out of the state
for the single reason that they were re-
pubiicans and refused at the bidding of an
irresponsible mob to surrender their right
of franchise.
Burning said that he spent three days in
the woods near Wilmington before he was
captured and told to leave

4 GREAT DOG TOWN.
How Canine of the Bull Variety
Was Initiated at Dawson.

From the Seattle ost-Intelligencer
Dawson is the greatest dog town on earth.
and the CANNES know their worth. The
miner can do little without them in winter,
and is more than willing to feed them we'll
through the summer for their services dur
ing the cold winters. Consequently the Es-
kimo is extremely we'll kept and has great
pride. This the wel-nurtured pups that
have been taken gold hunting know to their
sorrow. Every one has suffered severe
drubbng almost Immediately on arrival
and were lucky to get off with one After
that the native dogs, with air of tolera-
ton, allow them to live
Civilized CANNES by the hundred submit
ted to this initiation and suffered in si-
lence. 1t was only a few weeks ago that
a milkwhite bulldog was imported into
the famous camp and did little initiation
on his own account When Al Bartlett the
speedy packer and rich mine owner, was
in New York he got hold of a Bowery pro-
duction that was wonder. The beast was
milk white, with great red eyes and mas
sive jaws which had won him more than
one hard fight.
After landing from a little up-river
steamer Bartlett started up the water front
with the ugly bulldog close at his heels.
Down the street came an old Eskimo dog,
fairly bristling for a fight Here was a
| chance for conquest. He had never been
against a bulldog before. The fish-red ma
tive fairly rushed into the fight. but found
| the mik-White bulldog more than ready
to go to work. 1t was a great fight and
soon over with. The bulldog finding he
had something easy, changed holds a dozen
times. and with every change brought out
the bright red blood. In two minutes the
native sulked up the street, hardly able to
walk. But the bulldog had not finished
yet, for the Dawson dogs are full of re-
source.
From away up the street came the mem
bers of the clan with the defeated member
trotting along on three legs at their head.
| They howled with delight when they caught
sight of their prey. The bulldog made one
grab, catching the wounded leader by the
throat After that he could do nothing but
hold on. a dozen dogs grabbed him and
dragged him about if he had been a
bone. The fight ended all fights do. The
Eskimo dog which had been looking for
trouble was dead. The bulldog was deep
crimson and most of the dye was furnished
by his own blood. He had the partial use
of three legs, one eye was almost closed
and his close-cropped ear was cropped
closer still. The bull had made dog history
at Dawson, but at terrible cost to him
self.
For Dawson dogs clannish, and if
your dogs licks one he's got to lick his
can.'' as AL Bartlett says in talking abou;
the fight.
