INDUSTRIAL SHARES RISING.
Tobacco and Sugar Continue Their
Advance Strides.

New York, Feb. 21-The stock market
opened active, but the speculation ran
largely to the industrial leaders, and there
was a repetition of yesterdays extravagant
fluctuations.
Tobacco under the influence of rumors
OF new deal, rose over per cent, and re-
acted a couple of points Sugar advanced
over points. Manhattan was fractionally
better in the face of the political attack
upon the company. General Electric rose
sharply on the belief that it would soon Sc
cure the contract for equipping the Gle
waited railroads with electricity. United
States Leather preferred had sharp ad-
vance on covering of shorts.
In the railroad list the shares were es-
pecially strong. but the attention of trad
ers was diverted from that list by the ex-
citement in the industrial stocks.
Governments were unchanged.

Hon. Ethan Allen Hitchcock the new Secrc
tary of the Interior, arrived in Washington from
New York Sunday evening, accompanied by ex-
Secretary Bliss. Mr.. Hitchcock was averse to

the admiration OF and astormded and amazed the
nations OF the Old World This particular fea-
ture OF Government is not the only thing

TO CRFMATE PAUPER DEAD.
Mayor Quincy Spring, ... Is., on

INC HuD.
Boston. Feb. 21.-Mayor Quincy's latest
proposition is TO build a municipal crema-
tory in which the dead bodies of paupers,
criminals and corpses that are unrecog-
nized and unclaimed shall be incinerated.
The idea is to do away altogether with the
potter's field 1t is said bodies could lie
cremated at a cost OF only 81 each, while
it costs So TO dig grave. Upon the at
titude of the board of apportionment to-
ward this idea, already will advanced, will
depend its realization. The present pot
ter's field will be completely filed before
the expiration of the present year. The
burials now amount to about 500 a year
and increase in number yearly.

The street credits the proposed purchase
of Chicago and Alton to people intimately
connected with the Union Pacific, Missouri
Kansas and Texas, and Missouri Pacific
roads. The announcement that the deal
for the purchase is virtually completed
has had an excellent effect on all the secu-
rites OF those roads yesterday and today.
Missouri Pacific is up two points, the
Union Pacific stocks over point each, and
Missouri. Kansas and Texas preferred two
points and a half. The future OF this
movement is much commented on. but the
street has not yet learned to what extent
these roads will profit by the acquisition
of the Chicago and Alton. However 1t is
said that none of the stocks concerned is
now at a high price.

The advance in Atchison preferred and
Peoples Gas has been expected and talked
about for two or three days. Atchison
especially has been stubbornly held by
many, despite it's tagging tendencies of
late in the belief of an early movement
of some magnitude. The advance TO above
Go is most satisfactory, but the
friends of the stock do not believe that the
climax of this move has yet been reached.
The facts as 10 Atchison's position as a
railroad are fairly well understood to be
superb, and it is freely predicted by many
that the preferred stock will take place
alongside the per cent dividend payers
shortly.

The activity in several of the industrial
shares this morning was noticeable.
Leather advanced points in the first hour
and seem strong at the high figure. Rub
Der was strong also, though no new high
figures were reached. The Federal Steel
stocks responded to general predictions
that they would be taken in hand by the
leaders, in the expectation of the dividend
on the preferred. 1t is possible that this
move in the industrials will be continued,
but conservative spectators are keeping
away from them as usual
American Tobacco is still making its tre-
mendous squirt. On Friday Of last week
the stock was at 1872. and today it reached
17S. This advance means nearly
SIS, 100000 more paper value for
the capital stock Of the company. No
new developments in the Tobacco situation
have been chronicled and there Is every
Indication that manipulation by long hold
ers OF the stock TO squeeze the shorts Is
the entire cause of the advance. The pub
Tic has little Tobacco stock, large part
OF it being held by Wall Street people.

chooses.

night. Captain William e. English,

Captain English made a few remarks.
Calls were made for General Harrison
and he responded in a happy manner.
General Harrison said that since his
return many of his newspaper friends
had tried to prevail upon him to tell
them all about European politics, but
unfortunately he had no opportunity
to give the matter much study and was
forced to decline.
In conclusion he said that recently
there arrived at his home copy of a
New York newspaper. He noticed that
the person addressing it had written
''Repress Harrison" when the evident
intention was to have it read Eek
President Harrison" The speaker said
he had been talking but little, and he
was unable to understand why any
one should wish to repress him. There
