The Stock Market.

New York, Nov. 27.-People who
bought stocks on Thursday and Friday
found the expected market for them
this morning and awaited themselves of
the opportunity to sell out to a large
extent. The sub treasury operations
last week make it sufficiently obvious
that a strong bank statement would be
Forthcoming on Saturday, and the new
strength in the market on account OF
Saturdays bank statement had there
fore been discounted. Prices We're open
ed high and the advance In Americans
in London had the appearance OF being
manipulated from New York for the
sake Of influence on the opening here.
At all events, London was depressed
generally on the rise in the money rate
and sold stocks here from the opening
until long past the usual hour for ca
bling. Pennsylvania was an exception
and was eagerly bought by London.
This demand was largely responsible
for the stocks rise of Ak over Friday
during the first hour. 1t subsequently
reacted two points.
The high prices brought extensive

the Baltimore and Ohio issues. The
opening in the preferred ran all the
way from So down to SS% There We're
occasional rallies in these stocks, but

ed and their close was near the lowest

Union Pacific showed the effect of prof
it-taking and Sugar was weak from the
first.
These were sufficiently powerful fac
tors to decide the general course of the
market downwards. The heaviness be-
came quite widely disseminated as the
day progressed and many stocks closed
with net losses Of point or over While
the general course of the market was
reactionary, some points of strength
persisted. Manhattan Federal Steel,
American Hoop, Chesapeake and Ohio
and Peoria, Decatur and Evansville rose
from l to points without maintaining
the full advance. Leather continued

A Statement by Gen. Henry.

In The Star of June 23, in the CORE
spondence from Capon Springs, General
Henry's talk on Porto Rico before the edu-
cational conference was described as fol-
lows:
THE Porto Ricans, he said, had no
schools, such education as they had hither-
to received being from the priests The
chief foe to the success of his own efforts.
he considers, was the ignorance of the is
landers of the English language and the
consequent lmpossioiilty of imparting
knowledge to them in our own tongue
General Henry writes to The Star saw
ing: THE remarks attributed to me in
your issue of June 23, with reference TO
school education Except natural ignorance
of our language) in Porto Rico are not in
accordance with the facts. As governor
general of Porto Rico, l formed too many
personal friendships with these people, and
to go uncorrected.'

Changes in the Executive Duties of
the Commissioners.
Mr.. WIGHTS ADDED RESPONSIBILITIES
He viii Have Charge Of Electrical
Department and Wharves.
OTHER NOTES OF INTEREST

An order was made by the District Com
missioners today placing the electrical de-
partment in charge of Commissioner Wight,
Capt. Beach, the Engineer Commissioner,
who formerly had exclusive charge of the

of conduits. Commissioner Wight was also
placed in immediate charge of the renting
and leasing Of the wharves the river

mediate charge of their construction and

to relieve Capt. Beach of matters which
are in no sense purely engineering
affairs. Hereafter Mr.. Wight will, there
fore, have immediate charge of street light
ing and of the police and fire alarm tee
graph and telephone service.
COmpany's Estimates Approved.
George H. Harries, president of the Wash

sioners that they have approved the com
pany's estimate of the cost of constructing
and equipping the road within the District,
the estimate being s275,oOO. The total length

Commissioners a few days ago from the
Meridian Hill Citizens Associa ton, inclos-
Ing communication of Mr.. Joseph T. Web
Der, in which Mr.. Webber called attention
to the unimproved condition of the streets
in the Meridian Hill subdivision, and re-
quested the grading of Messmore street
Today the Commissioners wrote the asso-
citation that the fact that Messmore street
is about thirteen feet above the level of
Erie street at the intersection of the two
Is due to the fact that when Erie street
was graded the street extension plans re-
one. The Commissioners now propose to

schedule for constructing county roads, at
an estimated cost of "a 900.

ing protested against the change of grade
OF alley in the rear of lots IA to 43, square
SO, they have been informed by the Dis
trict Commissioners that no grade was ever
sought at the time the property was improv-
ed, and that the grade was not established
until after houses had been completed and
paving OF the alley was ordered. The Com
mIssioners state that it is not now possible
to modify the grade without providing catch
basins, which in this case, they think
would be peculiarly objectionable There
lore, they have directed that the work pro-
ceed on the established grade.

PRESIDENTS WESTERN TRIP.
Not Abandoned, for the Reason 1t
Was Never Definitely Decided On.

A story has been printed that the Presi-
dent has definitely decided to abandon a
western trip this summer on account of
Mrs. McKinley's health. This story is said
to be conjecture. The President has never
had any plans about a western trip. He
has only desired to make one. He would
not abandon his desires when it is likely
that Mrs. McKinley's health will soon be
restored, and that she will be able to make
such trip. For more than a month the
President has indicated that he will not be
able to go any further west than st. Paul,
and ne had made no positive promises as
to this.
