THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Dec. 1.-The stock market
today was colorless. Professional OPP
erations were responsible for whatever
movement took place, and change on
this account were not we'll maintained
owing to the desire of the professionals
to close M their contracts OF once. The
organized buying of the trunk lines
and some other stocks, which was in
evidence in the earlier part of the week
seemed to be entirely discontinued, and
those stocks reacted on profit taking.
New York Central sold with the rights
to subscribe to the new stock issue de-
Quoted from the price. There were
sales of these rights at from Az to
51a. Union Pacific and Northern Pacific
showed some strength and there was
an attempt to advance some of the iron
and steel stocks which proved only
partly successful. Some of the promi-
nent specialties suffered from bear
pressure, notably Sugar, Brooklyn
Transit and the other New York Trac-
tion stocks and the Tobacco stocks.
Total sales, 400 shares. The bond
market was quiet and prices were
shaded in many of the issues. Total
sales, par value. $1,340,000 United
States bonds were unchanged in the
bid quotations.
The following quotations are furnished

wEsALoFsKIE MISSING.
A Pittston Polander Thought to
Have Been Drowned.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Pittston, Dec. 1.-Andrew Wasalof-
skie, single man aged about S5 years,
q Polander who boarded with his sis
ter on Luzerne avenue, West Pittston,
has been missing since last Saturday
and his relatives fear that he may be
connected with the incident that oc-
Cured on the Ferry bridge last Mon
day morning. Wesalofskie has not
been seen at his boarding house since
last Saturday night, when he went to
Pittston. On Sunday night he was in
a saloon on North Main street drink
ing and playing cards. According to
the story told by his sister, Wesalof-
skie. in company with another Poland
er named William Scrandus, who lives
in Frogtown, left the saloon about a.
m. Wesalofskie started for his home
in West Pittston by way of the Ferry
bridge. Scrandus accompanied him 4
short distance on the bridge and then
left him and. turning back, started for
his home in East Pittston.As Scrandus
reached the end of the bridge he heard
his late companion yell for help and
then heard a splash, but he paid no
attention to it and went on his way
home. Both men were under the in
fuence of liquor, it is said. Nothing
further could be learned.
Whether Wesalofske fell over the
bridge or was assaulted and thrown
over is not known. The only reliable
facts in the case are that WesalOfskie
was known to be on the bridge at 4
o'clock, the time sevral persons heard
screams and a splash followed by more
screams, and that he has not been
seen since. The river has been dragged,
but no trace of the body could be
found

When asked today about the accident
he said; when cur sledge dogs get

March 20 my dogs got stuck in rough
ice and l got out OF the sled, took oil
their harness and put it around my chest
and shoulders, intending to do my own
teaming until the dogs became more
tTactable. As / was walking along head
down and hauling my sled, put my foot
into a crack in the ice Is inches deep and
80 covered with snow as to be hidden. My
right leg went down the crevasse, scrap
ing the shin bone and otherwise injuring
the limb. For eight consecutive days
walked across the ice thus injured and
finally fell exhausted. My companions
