New York, Jan. 11.--Drectors' meetings
were responsible for considerable varia-
lions in the character of the stock specu-
lation to-day. AS is usually the case,
forecasts were rife as to the probable ac-
ton of the various directories in session,
which We're utilized for effect upon the
market value of the securities interested.
The most important development was the
action of the Louisville & Nashville d.
rectors in replacing the stock in the cate
cory of dividend payers. The dividends
on this property were suspended in 1898
and reduction of 10 per cent. was made
in the salaries of employees, with a pro-
viso that they would be restored when
earnings warranted it. This promise was
carried out last year and the successive
favorable character of the traffic state
ments published aroused expectations
with the investment public that the divi-
bends would soon be declared on the
stock, The proceedings of the Sugar di-
rectors were also viewed with interest as
it was ntimated that some publicity
would be given of the result of the com
pany's operations in the pending trade
war. The stock was thrown on the mar
ket IN large volumes and sufficed to check
the aggressive upward movement which
was IN progress on the announcement that
the senate committee had agreed to re-
port without amendment the peace treaty.
The market in general presented other
features of striking interest, including as
it did an outburst of investment buying
which improved the standard shares from
to points. The Vanderbilt stocks were
prominent in this movement

CHICAGO MARKETS,


Chicago, Jan. 11.-Reports of liberal Of

the health department in checking the
disease, a repetition of the epidemic of

it is only manifest in a mild form. but
there have been several deaths and there

Grand jury Will Investigate Affairs in
Jefferson County.

Jefferson County.
Special Correspondence of the Standard
Boulder, Jan. 10.-For the first time
in a number of years grand Jury is
called in Jefferson county. To-day a
panel of 30 was drawn for regular fury
service at the January term of the dis
trict court, to be present on the 23d.
Fifteen We're drawn for grand i,1ry
duty, seven of whom constitute the re-
quired number to meet on the nth.
What special matters are to be brought
ITO the attention of the grand jury are
not known, and citizens will have to
content themselves with guessing I'M
til indictments are returned, if any
are found. In the line of the regular
work of every grand jury, however
is an examination of the books of all
county officers, particularly those per-
tanning to the revenue. This is usu-
ally perfunctory, however, and partic-
ularly so since the laws provide for a
state examiner who does the same
work and much more intelligently than
grand jury can. A grand jury is
also expected to examine the county
Jail and other county property.
The Standards bulletin Monday
evening giving the news of the appoint
ment of committee to examine charg-
es of bribery in the state legislature
attracted much attention, and the
thanks of the community for the earli-
est news. 1t is to be hoped that
