MAINE MAITERSs uo SCaCo assessors
on April l found that Maine had Is, 900
bicycles with valuation of $3.50, 600. And
this probably does not more than half
represent the actual number of wheels
now owned in Maine, as prices took an
unexpected drop after April 1 and there
were an unusual number of sales. Then,
too, there were doubtless quite a number
of wheels which nobody seemed to claim
until the assessors had gone. Knox
county is credited with having 595 wheels.

There is great scarcity of good new
milch cows among the farmers all over
the State,' said Howard Libby of Water
vile, one of the best known buyers, when
speaking of the matter recently. The
unusual drouth of the summer made it
necessary for the farmers to feed the
COWS in the stables instead of feeding
them in the pastures. On account of the
difficulty of getting the cows, there is an
increase in price. AT the final session
in Waterville, Oct 18th, the Maine Fedora
tion of Women's clubs elected the follow
ing officers: Mrs. Florence Collins Porter,
Caribou, president; Miss Lucia II. Con
nor, Fairfield, vice president; Mrs.
Camilla G. II. Grimes, Caribou, cores

during the month of August over u, 600

ting ready for the scallop season, which
will soon open. Scallops were scarce last
year and they are likely to be so this year
unless more beds are discovered..... The
Maine music festival finances have not
yet been settled, but it is probable that
no money has been lost. Portland paid

THE W. M. RAILROAD SALE.
A Conference i'm baltimore Decides
to Delay Action.

10 DeiHg
BALTIMORE, Dec 2s.-At a conference
held today between a committee repre-
genting the city directors in the West
ern Maryland Railroad and the mayor. it
was decided to take no further action look
ing TO the sale Of the road until after EX-
pert Little has completed his report. 1t
was stated to the mayor by the commit
tee that the partial report made by Mr..
Little to the board Of directors at its re-
cent meeting shows that the net earn
ings for 1898 were S565, ,276.73, which would
show a surplus of $50 600 over all Operat-
ing expenses and fixed charges. The sur
plus, however, having been applied to the
purchase of new equipment and other bet
terments, is not now available for interest
purposes.
Gen. John H. Bryant, of New York, is
expected to arrive in Baltimore within a
few days to arrange to make a bid for
the railroad In opposition to the New York
syndicate.
General Bryant is already well known to
BaItimoreans. IN the latter part of 1891
he made a proposition to buy the Western
Maryland Railroad and precipitated the
hottest discussion that has ever taken place
as to the adyisability of the city disposing
of its interests in the property
General Bryant's bid was surrounded
with mystery, and it was never made plain
whom he really represented. It was sup
posed that he was backed by a group Of
capitalists consisting of the late Calvin S
Brice, former Senator Davis. of the West
Virginia Central Railroad Senator Ar
thur Pue German and others, and Il was
believed also that the bid was made IN the
interest of the West Virginia Central Rail
road VINO General Bryant represents now
is not known. He was in town about TWO
weeks ago and tried to see Mayor Hayes
but was unable to do so.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The stock mar
Eets improving tendency was well main
tanned today. although the advances scored
were by no means so uniform as they were
yesterday. The chief factors in the market
were Identical with those Of yesterday and
Tuesday.
Money on call continued easy, notwith-
standing the probable disturbance OF loaus
incidental to the January disbursements.
The London Stock Exchange settlement
progressed smoothly. with the indications
pointing TO no failures Of any Importance,
and further, stocks continued 10 be pur-
chased in anticipation Of the investment
demand looked for after the first of the
year. OF actual news OF importance there
was very little. In the main il may be said
that the market showed the inyariable re-
adjustment in prices incidental 10 such 3
panic as that which prevailed last week.
The effect Of such a panic is always a
transfer OF stocks from the speCuiaJor on
margin 10 the buyer for cash, the creation
OF q dangerous short interest and the con-
sequent strengthening OF the market.
Except ir so far as no important failures
were reported al the forInightly settle
meuI London was not a factor OF any ac-
counE in the days dealings. The opera
tions of the arhitrage houses on balance
were extremely limited. and the only ef-
fect OF the lower prices FOR American
stocks shown in the early cabied advices
was 10 create q rather uncertain and hes

stocks were conspicuously strong. notably
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Metropolitan
Street Railway. In both Instances, the
rapidity OF the advances and the general
character OF the trading pointed 10 the
existence Of d large and demoralized short
interest There was no actual news OF
any kind bearing upon this quarter Of the
market
A number Of the industrials. including
Tennessee CCal and Iron. American To-
bacco and Federal Steel. also scored note
worldly advances. The railway list did
not show the common and pronounced
strength it enjoyed yesterday. The strong
est features there were New York Central
Rock Island. Burlington and Quincy, and
the anthracite coal stocks. The bulk OF
speculative interest was. however. almost
entirely absorbed in the local traction is
sues and the other stocks named, and their
overshad dowiug position in the market gave
an appearance of some irregularity 10 the
dealings.

two tickets in the field worked hard
throughout the day FOR their
respective candidates and result
was that the heaviest vote ever
recorded in Crested Butte was
cast. Out of a total registration
of 600 about $50 votes were cast.
The contest was close all the way
through, but was not marked with
the bitterness that generally

After the count was completed the
friends of the successful candidates
made the welkin ring with cheers
