On Friday night there was assurance
that the market had recovered. Instead
the day began with a drop and continued
weak throughout. with an especially pan
icky close The general aspects of the stu
alton were augmented by two or three bad
special features. The London market
was weak. and our stocks were sold there
heavily on the probability of trouble be-
tween the French and the English. The
short day and the Sunday that had so
many possibilities of trouble also made
people sell out holdings and sell short.

The officials of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad have been in the vicin-

ing preliminary surveys for a new
roadbed both east and west of that
station. The object for making the
proposed change is to straighten the
curves at SnowyCreek on the west and
reduce the heavy grades at fifty-eight
cut on the east. At Snowy Creek in
years past, owing to the curves, a
number of trains have been wrecked
and three or four lives lost. The
grades in the cut on the east are so
heavy that almost daily trains become
stalled and much time is lost in conse-
quence.
