MORE YELLOW FEVER CASES.
In Spite of Them the Situation Looks
ReRksuring,

JACKSON, Miss, September S-Three
Few cases of yellow fever were reported
from Taylor's station last night. Three of
the cases previously reported are seriously
i'll and two show symptoms of incipient
black vomit.
The situation looks reassuring. All the
surrounding country where the infection
spread last year has been thoroughly in
spected and found in healthy condition.
inspectors HARRISON and Cant report that
the suspicious cases at Water valley are
not yellow fever
The infection is now practically confined
to an area ten miles square in Lafayette
and Marshall counties, and is surrounded
by a strong Gordon of guards. The state
quarantine against New Orleans will be
raised within a few days unless new cases
develop. No fear of a general epidemic is
now felt by the board.
NEW ORLEANS, September S.-The Mis-
sissippi board Of health, despite the official
declarations by the state marine hospital
and Alabama authorities that The suspicious
cases reported by DR.. Dunn were not yell
low fever, has not taken off its quarantine
against this city. However. the quarantine
against freight was modified to conform
with the rules of the Atlanta convention
Alabama has promptly removed all quaran-
tine.

List of Stocks
ONLY REGULAR DIVIDEND DECLARED
Metropolitan Traction Gained :
Per Cent During the Day.
GEN NERAL MARKET REPORT

Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star
NEW YORK, September s-The course
OF prices in today's stock market was in
nuenced largely by ST. Paurs dividend
prospects. As the result, considerable Ir-
regularity prevailed. During the early
trading the market hesitated notica bly,
but later became active under the influence
Of rumor that per cent would be de-
clared on the property named above In
order to encourage this belief , per cent
was bid for the next dividend on f.Out
shares
Under the influence of this indication O,
confidence the price of the stock advanced
to 10, gain of = per cent from the OPEN
ing level During the afternoon confidence
on the part of the depressing influence
based on the prospect of only per cent
for the year. was revived and the price
forced back TO the opening level.
The latter reasoning was subsequently
proved to have been well founded, a regu-
lar semi-annual dividend Of 2l-2 per cent
being declared. This announcement at
tracted selling on a large scale. but. Il is
said in certain influential quarters that the
buying al the decline was extremely good
However this may have been II is certain
that the ma rket Is considerably disap-
pointed with the result, it was badly in
need of some stimulating influence
The entire market, very naturally suf-
fc1ed from St Paurs decline today in like
manner. as did yesterdays market with
American Sugar leading the depression.
Metropolitan Traction was the strong
feature of the day, gaining per cent upon
moderate but decidedly confident buying
The future of this property is encouraging
TO Its friends. and great things are expected
OF the stock once a sympathetic market
is developed
The general market is suffering some
What from prof ssional movement
against prices, but the arguments fayoring
lower level are not substantial, except 50
FAR as they represent technical conditions
There are many operators carrying a lins
of long stocks totally out of proportion
with their standing at the banks. The re-
cent advance in call money rates has fur.
nished an excuse for choking out such
holders of active issues.
Conservative commission houses have ad.
vised Withholding of buying orders. and
in some instances have been aggressive in
forcing out such holders. The money
market, however, is only a temporary
drawback to speculative enterprises The
st. Paul dividend is more of an obstacle to
the cause of the bull party than any of the
recent rates for money.
The selling of the stock during the last
hour was or a liberal scale. resulting in a
decline of 4 per cent from the high level
OF midday. Such a decline in a represen-
tatve international stock is equal 10 a
break of double the proportions in the In
duStrial list.
