the Kansas and Montana regiments
and the Third artillery on the left.
Gen. Wheaton's brigade is in reserve.
The American forces met with strong

The enemy also tore up sections or
the railroad in many places and at
tempted to burn the bridge at Bigaa,
but the fire was extinguished owing to
the timely arrival of the Americans.
The rebels had not finished their
trenches along the line of to-day's

The evening times., 1899-03-13

The opening of the stock market th S
morning was without significance as far
as its indication of the future Was con-
cerned. Prices opened up trife and in
most cases within the first hour had lost
their gain. The advances over Sund-y III
some specialtes were considerable tut al
most without exception the higher figures
induced selling. Opinions differed widely
as 10 the probabilities for the coming few
days. The better bank statement and the
absence of any bad news this morning in
cllned many to believe that as soon as the
realizing sales had been filled there would
be another advance today. On the htr
hand. many were of the opinion that they
had been put up to sell" Mr.. F.ower IS
quoted by close friend in Washington as
predicting that prices Will go no lower
this month and that after Easter there
will be the beginning of a COOL boom
This is perhaps the surest summing up OF
the market that is possible at present
There may be small advances or declines
but a traders market is likely for the
time being.
