Concern Over the Situation in

Fee Selling Orders From London

New York Central an Exception 10
the observation-disclosures
Bonds Lower.

New York, Feb. 6.-The news OF the
fighting at Manila had a disturbing effect
on the stock market The opening was
weak at declines of 1 per cent and over
in the more active shares, and London was
a free seller.
There were only fractional declines aft
er the opening, except in isolated cases.
and after the first half hour there were
numerous sharp rallies on the theory thar
the attack of the Filipino insurgents on
the Americans would contribute to assure
the ratification of the Peace Treaty.
A striking exception to the general re-
cessions was New York Central which sold
off only 3-S per cent, and advanced imme
diately nearly per cent Tobacco broke
over four points on the announcement that
the Union Tobacco Company had absorb
ed the Liggett & Meyers Company.
Manhattan fuctuated erratically.
Chicago Gas held firm and some Of the
specialties fell sharply. The temper of
speculation remained unsettled throughout
the morning.
Government bonds were Is per cent

MARYLAND OFFICIALS ACT.
Baltimore 10 Establish "a Quaran.
tine Against Norfolk.

Baltimore. Md, Feb. 6.-Dr. c. Hampson
Jones. city health commissioner, aud DR..
John s. Fulton. secretary of the State
day with regard to danger from smallpox,
especially the danger of an invasion of the
disease from Virginia. AS a result it is
very probable that quarantine will be
ordered against the city of Norfolk, Va.
In speaking of this contemplated action
Or. Fulton said "0f all the means of
preventing disease quarantine is the most
| antiquated and expensive. Nevertheless,
there are emergencies which demand such
desperate remedy. and ] fear that one of
those emergencies is now present. There
is a very active movement among the oys-
ter people. and the very class of people who
are hardest to keep track of are moving
freely between Norfolk, Baltimore. Cris-
field, and all the points along the New
York, Philadelphia, and Norfolk Railroad,
as well as along the Potomac River to the
| National Capital, thus practically expos
| ing four -fifths of our entire frontier.
This step is necessary from the lack of
reliable information as to the extent of the
epidemic in Norfolk and as TO the effec-
| tiyeness OF the local health administration
| of Virginia. Since 1886 nearly all the State
! and many of the city boards of health have
kept up a system of exchange of informa-
ton. giving in the matter of smallpox the
number of cases, their exact location, the
| measures of restriction, and every State
contiguous 10 Maryland is doing this eX-
cept Virginia.
In the absence of reliable information
we have to be guided by unofficial reports.
| We have given the fullest consideration
| TO the injury the quarantine will infiict
| on our commerce, but we are well aware
| that an outbreak of smallpox in Baltimore
| would lie far more injurious, and the pros
T! pect for such an outbreak is certainl lea
sonable unless we protect ourselves. No
doub. such step will arouse as much op-
| position in Norfolk here and we hope
| it will awaken the authorities Of Norfolk
to the Importance of exchanging informa-
! tion with other health boards.
The plan of quarantine will be TO serve
notice on all transportation companies not
TO sell tickets at Norfolk for points in
| Maryland. This rule can be enforced by
placing inspectors at the transportation
Offices with authority TO inspect both tick
| cts and passengers.
Il cannot say what effect it will have on
the freight traffic; that will largely depend
upon what arrives in Baltimore from Nor
folk. At present there is nothing arriving
here which would be likely to bring ;nfec-
tion. Maryland has been unusually ex-
posed to smallpox for eight months and
has been invaded by the disease four times
to our knowledge, but il has not obtained
| a hold
