GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
,ecial Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, February 3.-Opening prices
TINS morning were fractionally higher than
those prevailing at the close of yesterdays $
business, but subsequent trading was ir-
regular and void of Significance The mar
ket is plainly waiting for incentive and
has dwindled into one temporarily domi-
mated by profit-taking and professional
short sales
The crippled telegraph facilities through
out the New England states has contribut-
eu somewhat to the narrowness, but this
FACTOR has now been removed.
The dullness of the market at the decline
is the most favorable feature of the s!tua-
tion and buying on q scale down has been
inspired rather than a concerted attempt
to sell.
The foreign markets were, for the most
part. Indifferent to the course of prices.
the irregularity abroad being about equal
to that at home.
Underlying conditions, as we'll as senti-
ment favor higher prices, but aggressive
ness is lacking.
The Union Pacific issues lead in the profit
taking again today, notwithstanding al
most unanimous confidence in much higher
prices later on Should the government
withdraw from the sale of Kansas Pacific
the securities of the former property would
be supplied with the incentive to renewed
activity. The common and preferred stocks
of Northern Pacific are being bought from
time to time by the clique heretofore in
strumental in forcing the advance.
AS the natural result of the liberal ex-
plotting of the benefits to be derived from
this springs rush to the Klondike, Great
Northern has been pushed to the front as
a candidate for large percentage of this
traffic.
The movement in the western group was
scarcely a feature of todays market, ow-
ing to the superior activity in the coal
shares. An advance of 10 per cent per ton
IN anthracite coal rates was followed by
sharp advances in all the properties direct
ly interested. The Reading shares were es-
recially active in this connection.
The Vanderbilt properties were in better
demand than yesterday, the buying of
Michigan Central being one of the features
OF the forenoon. The great consolidation
plan Is not yet perfected, but confidence
in it is noticeably strong.
The prospects for a satisfactory reor-
ganiZatiOn of Baltimore and Ohio were re-
hected in a sharp advance in price While
the reorganization may be successful the
certainty of a liberal assessment is con-
sidered sufficient reason for permitting the
inside interests to pay prevailing prices for
its shares.
the pooling bin were circulated during the
latter half of the day and served to steady
the market for q time. This subject for
legislation has been so repeatedly disap-
pointing that conservative operators are
not misled by the frequent reports of its
progress.
The trading during the final hour served
to demonstrate still further the absence of
any special demand and continued accept
ance of profits by all classes of traders.

Steamer Oregon Picks Up COrOna'e
Stranded Passengers.

FORT WRANGEL, January %, via Seat
tie, Wash, February 3.-The steamer Ore
gon of the Portland-Alaska line. on her
way to Alaska. anchored off Lewis Island
and rescued the passengers Of the wrecked
Corona, who were not taken off by the
Alki last Thursday. The sea was choppy
and a fresh breeze was blowing from the
direction of Dixons Entrance, but the
transfer of men. women and children and
personal baggage was msde with expedi-
tion.
One of the ships boats, which was in
charge of the second officer of the Oregon,
drifted about four miles down the straits
ard was not picked up for five hours The
occupants suffered considerably from the
cold and were we'll nigh exhausted.
About fifty of the Corona's passengers
were left the island. They would not
go on the Oregon unless Capt. Stephens
would agree to take all their baggage, out
fits and animals. They had about twenty
five tons of supplies on the beach. As. it
would take several days to get all the stuff
aboard Capt. Stephens would not comply
with the request. The people left on the
island are well supplied with provisions,
tents and bedding. They will probably
stay there until some boat comes along
and picks them up.

MR.. TAYLOR IMPROVING.
Treasury Clerk Who Attempted Sui.
eide ON Way to Recover


Mr.. Walter Taylor the Treasury Depart
melt clerk who attempted suicide early
yesterday morning by hanging himself
just after his daughter, Miss Lucy Taylor,
had become violently insane as published
in yesterdays Star, is still under treatment
at the Emergency Hospital. As heretofore
stated in The Star. the unfortunate man
was driven temporarily insane because OF
his numerous Affections.
Today his condition was much improved,
and he asked that his daughter, Miss Nell
lie Taylor. be sent for. as he wanted to see
her. A messenger was sent to the Taylor
house, No. 403 4th street northeast but it
was stated that because of the young
lady's condition, it would not be well for
her to visit the hospital. Pauline, the
youngest daughter, who is nine years old,
is at home with her older sister and
friends are in the house caring for them.
The insane daughter objected yesterday
afternoon to being dressed preparatory to
her transfer to the asylum. and she had
TO be wrapped in blankets. Policeman Gee
and A lady friend Of the family accompa-
MED the patient TO the asylum. On the
way over the bridge the patient became
restless and gave the officer a little trouble.
but at the asylum she gave no trouble
said she was resting as well they could
expect and that she was not violent.
Mr.. Taylor, DR.. Juenemann thinks, will
fully recover. The doctor believes ne will
be able to return home in three or four
days. At present he does not seem to
realize the E6ture of yesterday mornings
awful experience. He knows that there is
some reason for his presence in the hos
pital, bat what II is he does not know, nor
has he been told.
