Government officials are Of the opinion
that the wholesale flooding of this sec
ton of New Jersey with counterfeit bills
is the work Of professionals. The count
erfeits are two-dollar bills mostly, al
though there are also fives and tens.
The fact that so much of the money has
come to the Newark banks shows that
many persons have been duped. The
bank employees have had no trouble in
picking out the bad bills.
The two-dollar bills are reproductions
of the two-dollar Treasury notes of the
series Of 1891. with the likeness of Cen
eral Mcpherson. They were engraved
from wood, not steel. Fine pen dashes
in red and blue ink simulate the silk
threads in the Government paper. The
counterfeit fives are of the same series
as the twos. They bear the likeness Of
General Grant.

of his paper the results of the late
elections as follows: a. It was right
that the administration which brought
the glorious war to successful conclu-
sion should receive vote of confidence;
~ it was right that the policy of expan-

expected that the suicidal attitude of the
Democratic leaders on national issues.
together with their exaltation of minor
local issues, would result in the defeat of
the Democratic party.

ball and chain attachment, fastened to

measures with SO much success that the
authorities of Middlesex county quite
generally adopted the Railway methods.
Driven from that county, it would APP

including murder, in Washington and
elsewhere in Warren county, that the
tramps located there in large
numbers, until in some portion of the

county are in consultation with the

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK. June 4.--There was no trace left to-day Of the reactionary tendency mani fest in the stock market late yesterday. The change might be accounted for in two ways. First, the adoption by the Senate Of the tion of the revenue bill authorizing an issue of bonds and treasury certificates. Second, the professional speculators who sold stocks and took their profits early in the week and were anxious to get back ct low prices.
 The second explanation is more likely to be true. It was evident before the opening of the market to-day that it would be difficult to had advanced Americans large fraction all around. London made much of the action Of the Senate in adopting the bond provision and was also influenced by the persistent rurnors from Paris and even from Madrid, that Spain was seeking a way to peace. Paris bought Spanish Is heavily on this runlor and effected a sharp advance in the price. Ii is probable that the buying Of Americans in Lon don was in part on cabled orders from. New York by purchasers too eager to wait for the opening here. No account was taken of the reported sinking of American coIler.in the mouth or Santiago hsrbor, 1t accepted as measure for blockading the harbor.
 The rUmor Of the destruction Of the Spanish fleet had more effect and prices advanced buoyantly all through the list. When the bank sure to sell by traders who make it q rule to always sell stocks when the banks surplus analysis of the return soon led to renewed buy ing. The use or money reflected in the loan expansion is a healthful feature of the busi- ness outlook. The closing was active and strong at top prices, net gains in the case of most active stocks ranging between l and 2 points and in exceptional cases above that
