Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, January 19.-The reduction
in the Bank of England's minimum rate of
discount to 3la per cent, giving assurances
OF easy money to practically all of the
larger money centers, had decided influ-
ence on speculative sentiment this morning.
In the local market the larger operators
were reported as being confident of an adj
vancing tendency in prices until money
| rates begin to reflect over trading.
The customary process of selling one
group and buying another was again
evident, but the success of this device in
preventing a material reaction has made
it extremely popular in conservative circles
Some of the larger traders were reported
to have sold more than they bought, but
the commission house activity was mainly
in the interest of higher prices.
During the morning the high-priced stocks
were given the preference but the after
noon trading was mostly in stocks of tie
| reorganized roads and such others as have
not been especially active during the week
burlington was taken in round amounts up
to a new high level. Around 139 the price
hesitated for a time under liberal trading,
but another point was added to the price
before exhausting the demand.
Rock Island and st. Paul moved up under
conservative buying in sympathy with the
course of Burlington Omaha was advanced
fractionally beyond par the result of
good buying inspired by the declaration of
3l2 per cent dividend out of last year
earnings, or IL per cent in addition to the
previous rate of distribution.
Manhattan was again bought in consid-
cradle volume by interests heretofore .uen-
titled with the upward movement, the price
crossing 10. This movement is based on
the estimated advantages to be derived
from modern equipment and a progressive
management.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was advanced
moderately under a fair demand but there
was little disposition to force the move
ment
The various plans of consolida ton in
which this property is interested have not
yet sufficiently matured to warrant I'M
usual prominence being given the stock
The buying of Northern Pacific and Union
Pacific shares was especially good and
stocks of this class were generally in favor
in the later dealings.
Atchison preferred showed an advancing
tendency, but required considerable alb
sorbing power to overcome the ofit-taking
Missouri Pacific was advanced under buy
ing said to have been inspired by revival
of the Chicago and Alton project.
American Sugar was active and gained 3
per cent under the same mixed demand
Which has heretofore characterized its pro-
gress. The entire industrial list deveIoped
steady tone, but was. with few eXcep-
tons, lacking in aggressive qualities, and
gave evidences of having been neglected for
the more attractive issues of the regular
department..

Tailor made gowns Of cloth of most
distinguished style are very plain, with

decoration is simple, consisting Of lines of
stitching of white or colored silk-blue,
orange or red, for example-and small

S%apphires, t%urquoises, rubies, amethysts,
crystals and emeralds are all used, and
the stone is selected to harmonic with
the stitching.
The indoor costume illustrated is of mo,

scalloped caps. The belt is Of brown vel

Under a contract for milling ores

and earth shall be worked in the usual

be less than 10 per cent of the pulp as
say the return is for an average Of 10
per cent, and not on each ton Of ore fur
nished. Fox VS.. Mackay (57 Pacific Re-
porter, 673), Supreme Court of Califor-

A party contracted to mill ores fur
nished by another, and return 10 per
cent of the pulp assay. The latter sued
for an accounting, alleging fraud and
conspiracy, and that less than 70 per
cent was returned to him on a certain
number of tons of ore furnished. There
was no allegation that the 70 per cent
had reference to the pulp assay, or how
much it fell short Of 70 per cent, or
when the ore was furnished. The court
held that such complaint was INSULT
cient.-Fox VS.. Mackay (67 Pacific Re-

Meeting Of Stockmen.

Four days Of very warm debate is
promised during the annual convention
of the National Live Stock Association
| which convenes at Fort Worth on the
18th Of next month. The subjects which
will cause these interesting discussions
are: The reopening Of forest reserves to
sheep men; terminal charges at the
Chicago market; feeding in transit rates
On live stock shipments and the leasing
Of public lands. The first is of so great
Importance to sheep men that the lead
ers Of this industry in the north and
northwest are sending out circulars to
every association in that country re-
questing them to join the national asso-
citation at once and send full delegations
to the Fort Worth meeting. The sup
position Is that they will ask the con
vention to memorabilia congress to
reopen these reservations.
The annual meeting of this associa
ton has become of such great impor-
lance that a number of cities are al
ready in the field as candidates for the
convention of 1901. Among the cities are
Chicago, Cleveland, O., New York City,
Kansas City, st. Joseph, Omaha and
Denver.
The exhibitions of range stock which
was given at Denver in January in con-
junction with the convention was n Of
the most interesting and successful live
stock exhibitions ever given in this
country.
