French Are Too Close.
London, Jan. 4.-The Cairo correspon-

Nile that it is believed French expeditions
have arrived quite close to Khartoum.
According to the same authority the
British force will be commanded by Ma

information that Emperor Menelik has
summoned the Abyssinians to arms in
support of the French enterprises in equa-
torial Africa, and especially the plans of
the Russian, Count Leontiff, governor of
the equatorial provinces of Abyssinia.
"Menelik himself is getting out at the
head of an army and it is believed the
movement marks an expedition against
the Anglophyle, Ras Mangasciere, whose
province the negus wishes to annex. j
also hear that Menelik, calculating upon
the remissness of the Italian government,
proposes an advance toward the coast"

COI1r1ERCIAL.

New York, Feb. 2i.-The bottom had
apparently dropped out of the market
at the opening. Everybody wanted to
sell stocks and apparently there were
few buyers. At the drop of the gavel
each knot was struggling tangle and
loose ends OF arms were all that was
visible above the mass. The nervous
strain was visible in the expressions
of brokers faces and the air of self
repression quickly gave way to un-
concealed excitement.
Offerings of every prominent stock
were of several thousand shares and
quotations were almost lost sight of.
Running sales at the opening in Man
haitian were made all the way from
105% down to par. Burlington dropped
nearly five points and declines of over
two points on opening sales were the
rule. The tendency continued DOWN
ward, very violently In the first ten
minutes, the average fall increasing to
over three points. Metropolitan street
railway dropped twelve points and
Manhattan on.
The swiftness of the decline gave as.
surances that the bottom would soon
be reached and the first half hour saw
prices eteadying and rebounding The
market was exceedingly feverish at
the rise and before another hour prices
were declining again. The activity of
the market showed an astonishing de-
crease after the congestion of selling
orders at the opening had been worked
of. The first recovery of one to four
points was partly lost and then prices
began to work slowly back to a higher
plane. Commission houses report SELL

PASSED THE DIVIDEND.
DISCUSSING THE esysER's ENLARGEMENT


Pursuant to call the Geyser- Marion
directors held meeting this afternoon
at which time all doubts were set at
rest concerning the company's dividend
as II was passed pending the making OF
improvements in the way of enlarg-
ing the Geyser mill to u daily capacity
of 200 tons. This subject was fully
considered by the directors, who, at the
time of going to press, were still In ses-
sion thoroughly considering the matter
before them.
Manager John Dern stated today that
the improvements TO be made would en-
tail quite an expense upon the COM
pany innsmuch as not one vestige OF
the old Marion mill could be brought
into requisition, the structure In every
respect having outlived It's days of
usefulness. The charging of the Gey-
sor mill will necessitate either the in
stallation OF electrical power or the
putting in Of new engine. as the one
now in use vii be inadequate to furnish
the force necessary for the remodeled
plant. An additional set of rollers Will
also be put in and until this la done
and the work paid for, no more divi-
dends can be expected from the prop
erty.

ACTIVITY IN STOCKS.
Geyser-M Marion and Chloride Point Unusu-
ally Busy-Other Sales of the Day.

There was considerable activity on
the stock exchange today, the brokers
resorting to tactics which called stocks
from their hiding places and caused
the negotiation of transfers aggregat-
Ing 1880 shares with a selling value
of S7,3s2.25. The first to strike a
responsive chord was Geyser- Marion
and at stationary figures the stock
found ready takers. Sales for future
delivery were made at SO seller 60 days
and at 81 buyer 60. while the stock
closed firm with Il bid of SSH. Mercur
found strength on the call and sold at
ss.45, hundred shares finding taker
at this figure and more being bid for
five cents lower. Mammoth was also
strong and had a bid of $2.22h. while
Northern Light subscribed a few
shares at 9ia and 9A cents. The last
seller among the listed stocks was
Sacramento. the stock going with
freedom at 30 cents.
Attention to stocks unlisted brought
Chloride Point TO the front as starter.
and Il long monotonous linger was the
result. For upwards OF half an hour
the stock was handled. during which
time II renamed quite firm and made
sales all the way from 6i1a to 61h
cents the latter figure being for future
delivery. Dexter was only in fair
shape with a bid of si.40. while Dalton
was a seller at X of cent and Samp-
son Consolidated at Bingham shared
as an Offering at I cents. The Swan
seas found nominal figures as did all
others appearing in this list and no,

tigated had not Commissioner sam ].

ment final.

effect. as all Of the laws pertaining
thereto was repealed, and that from
that time ON there was no office OF
