sues were exceptions to the general
weakness, owing to the earnings which
for the first week of January increased
$105, 991, or 81 per cent. For the fourth
week Of December, eighty-four roads

over last year, and for the first week

a very considerable dividend earned

New York, January 15.-For Amer
leans shares closed featureless Satur-
day with prices generally of Il per
cent. Cable advices from that CEN
fer reported nothing particularly new
in the Cuban matter, but suggested
that the situation was one Of doubt,
strongly favoring the bears. Locally
the Cuban complications were consid-
cred more seriously. owing to the long
articles in the morning papers, which
indicated a continuance OF uncertainty
and the probability of further rioting.
Taking all things into consideration,
the hear contingent was furnished an
elegant opportunity to work for a re-
action. and well did they take advant-
age of the prevailing circumstances.

THE PULLMAN MILLIONS.

a. cago Chronicle.
The inventory filed by the executors
nj George M. Pullman's well illus
trates The fact that the wealth of So
called multimillionaires is usually
oyarestimated during their lives. The
estate figures up less than $4,000, 900,
including doubtful and desperate
.latms. At the time of George Pull
mans death his wealth was estimated
Al various figures, some being as high
Al S40.000000 and none lower than
u5. 600. 900. The natural shrinkage in
he estate, due to the depreciation in
iecurities and land values, will prob
,bly reduce it to about $4,000, 900, and
is probable that the possessions of
7ther wealthy men would show a SINH
lar depreciation if they were sched-
lied. The truth is that while large
fortunes have been made in this coun-
Try during the last thirty years, their
number is not so great as is commonly
supposed. A million dollars is a good
deal of money, and the probate court
records show that few men have ac-
.umulated that sum.

Cabinets at special prices for one week.

States naval forces to protect the inter-
ests of the citizens of the United States
resident in Havana. Fears on this
score were somewhat aggravated by
the persistent selling Of houses with
Washington connections. This was
taken to reflect a feeling Of apprehen-
sion in official circles as to the out
come of the situation. OF course the
professional traders were ready to turn
selleres without further inducement on
the general principle that prices go
down much more easily and quickly
than they go up. The bear attack was
vigorous and effective, and margins
being wiped out in many cases largest
holdings were thrown over to save
losses, thus adding to the weakness of
the market. The sharp rally at the
close on the covering OF short lines put
out earlier indicated that bear selling
made up a considerable proportion OF
the whole. Manhattan exercised a
very effective influence in the list and
there was very heavy profit taking in
this stock on the strength OF the weeks

rs below last nights close. Sugar al
so showed early extreme weakness in
continuation of the liquidation which
has been going on all week in tho

in price, but rallied 11h. Nearly every
active stock on the list was at one time
point or over below last nights close,
but the covering movement reduced net
declines in some cases to fractions.
The market for railway bonds has
been active all week, and record prices
have been reached for many high grade
issues. The issues Of the Union Pa
cific group have been conspicuous and
strong, showing advances ranging up
to six points. Seattle, Lake Shore and
Eastern trusts receipts rose at one time
twenty per cent, but lost part Of the

The cities of the country are going
more and more deeply into debt for
improvements and to a less and less
extent apparently are disposed to pay

the method of the improvident railway
corporation which will never devote
current earnings to improvements that
can in any wise be deemed measureably
permanent and charged to capital ac-
count. Meantime it is to be noted that
the market for these securities is large

They are preferred by investors to the
securities of almost any private cor
poration, however well buttressed
financially it may be.

A movement is on foot to make it
a serious offense to desecrate the
American flag. Dissertation is under
stood to include, among other things,
the use of the flag for advertising pur-
poses. While those who are back of
the movement do not expect to be able
to legislate sentiment into the breast
of the man who deems his country's
banner only a piece of cloth, they do
believe it feasible to free him to show
more respect for the feelings of those
who look upon it in the light OF a sa-

TARIFF RESTRICTION THE CAUSE.


4tLIplI rISe IIeSS'
The cause of the unsatisfactory state
of the cotton industry in New England
is quite generally attributed to over
production. And yet. if the goods
could be manufactured at less cost, or
if the market could be extended, the
excess of production over demand
would cease. 1t will be better to ex-
tend the market than to restrict pro-
duction or reduce wages. Let the
foolish tariff distractions be removed
and New England's cotton industry
will have little fear from southern
competition.
