NEW YORK. Nov. 14--To1ay.s situation
was wanting in the several important and
striking circumstances that contributed TO
yesterdays noteworthy market results.
That Is to say, the relaxation Of the money
market appeared 10 have run its course.
and during the greater part Of the day
money was fairly active at from 70 S
per cent. The sterling exchange market
was also steady at slight recovery from
yesterday level. The latter Circumstance
made il impossible for the prophets Of i'm
mediate soid importations 10 ply their ave-
cation with any chance of affecting specu-
Iative sentiment, and, indeed, today was
entirely wanting in the rumors that were
current yesterday.
Operations for foreign account, further
more while on balance on the buying side.
were on a much smaller scale, and in ad-
diIon 10 the matters cited, and chiefly on
account Of their absence OF modification
the demand from the short interest in
the market was heavily curJailed. In con-
sequence the active speculation and the
buoyaut tone that marked yesterdays deal
ings were missing today. The market
opened strong. chiefly in response 10 the
higher range of prices shown in the early
London cabled advices and on continue
tion Of the buying movement OF yesterday
II soon appeared. however that the latter
had by no means the vitality II showed
then and after the opening burst OF strength
the market reiapsed into dullness and ir-
regularity.
The strongest features OF the days mar
ket were General Electric. Brooklyn Rap
I'd Transit and certain Of the Industrial
shares. including Continental Tobacco,
American Smelling and Sugar Refining, the
strength OF the latter however, was
marked by frequent fluctuations. The
price movements in Manhattan Railway
were also notably wide and uncertain. The
new attack upon the company by another
OF the municipal departments was taken
10 indicate that Tammsny Hail does not
intend to abate its policy Of annoying the
company, and there appeared 70 De some
selling Of the stock on this account. Pre-
sumabiy the apparent progress making in
the general plan Of the construction OF the
tunnel road could also be instanced in
connection with the weakness Of Manhat-
tan as Metropolitan Street Railway was
also heavy. The price changes in the
granger shares and other standard issues
were quite limited and without particular
significance. Southern Pacific again fur

An Aged Man and Five Women De-
part From n PoorhOuse.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov 14.-Rev DR..
Sharrett, a nonogenarian inmate of the
poorhouse in this city departed from that
institution on Saturday night, taking with
him no less than five female paupers.
1t is the declared intention of the aged
clergyman and his infatuated followers to
walk to Utah where under the protection
of the Mormon Church, they hope to be
permitted TO enjoy their new faith in peace
Dr. sharrett's followers are all women of
advanced years.
DR.. SharTett who not long ago celebrated
his ninety-frst birthday in the poorhouse,
which had been his home for many years.
recently received a circular explaining the
peculiar doctrines OF the Mormon Church,
and advocating plural matrimony.
The arguments made deep impression
on the aged man, and he soon openly pro-
claimed himself TO be a convert to the doc
trines Of Joseph Smith. Not only was he
converted but he became an active propa-
gandist and preached his new faith with
such diligence that he soon made many
converts among his fellow -paupers of the
fair sex, to whom his arguments were prin-
cipally addressed.
At first his ministrations were the sub
ject of much merriment among the authori-
ties of the poorhouse, but on Sunday morn
ing the discovery was made that he and
the five old women had secretly departed
from the institution during the night.
Their intentions were revealed by the
discovery Of a letter addressed to the su-
perintendent of the poorhouse. which was
found inside the he'd OcCuuied by DR. ShaT-
rett. 1t was signed by the old pastor and
his five companions, all of whom announced
that they had embraced the Mormon faith
and that being penniless they had decided
to undertake on foot the long march to the
new Zion.
