Woodbury.. He said this scheme would
cost the town from $4,000 to $4,000.
o. W. Orcutt said the Pittsburg Bridge
Co. were furnishing steel bridges for
Egypt, Japan and China and they ought
to be competent to build one for st.
Johnsbury. He favored the scheme but
agreed with Senator Ross that it was
too vague at this time. He moved to
refer the whole matter to committee of
FIVE to report at future meeting.
Lawyer Montgomery opposed this on
the ground that the friends OF the bridge
wanted an expression OF opinion today.
Gov Bates said if Mr.. Orcutts motion
prevailed it would kill the whole scheme.
John Mcdonald favored the motion and
DR.. Bullard opposed it.
Elmore T. Ide made a strong plea for
Bay street, which he changed from a
mud hole to street bordered with
industries. He was surprised to hear
today that he had no claim for damages
if they closed Bay street and reminded
the voters that he helped build the street
and the town in acceptingit had guaran-
teed they would protect his property.
The moderator called for yea and nay
vote on Mr.. Orcutt's motion and declared
it carried. Cries of "ballot" went up
from all over the hall, but the chair stood
firm and announced that the committee
were o. w. Orcutt, H. N. Turner c. II.
Stevens, George Ranney, a. Fl. Mcleod.
The moderator then declared motion
in order to fix the time for the report of
the committee and declined to entertain
Mr.. Montgomery's resolution. DR..
Bullard vociferously appealed from the
decision OF the chair, called for new chair
man and moved that Senator Ross be
made chairman of the meeting. The
chair declared DR.. Bulard out of order
and declared the appeal from the decision
lost after a yea and nay vote.
On motion of Lawyer Slack the meet
ing then adjourned until Saturday, July
1, at 2 o'clock.

MARKET UNDER PRESSURE
UneasineSS Regarding Money Rates

Persistent Liquidation - Railway

MaiI-The IndUstriaIs Very Weak.

NEW YORK, Dec. There was no ma
terial Improvement in the stock marie. to-
DAY. The tone OF the market in The main
was heavy, as a result OF the scattering
liquidation that appeared in various quar-
ters but for the most part the trading
throughout the day was for professional
account. The UneasinCss regarding the
monetary situation for the remainder OF the
month continued the chief influence of the
general situation, and. aside from that
there was LITTLE or nothing that was new 70

influence of London upon the local market
was not pronounced. There were general
advances at the opening of business. but

count were inconsiderabie. As was the
case yesterday. il was the appTehensions
rather than the facts OF the monetary

tive in restraining activity for today's call
loan market was comparatively easy.
The movements in the general railway
list today were again CirCumScTibed. Com
psratively firm features there were New
York Central, Southern Railway preferred
and Chesapeake and Ohio. The granger
and Pacific shares were rather heavy. Ths
industrial quarter continued under sub
stantial pressure, notably in the instances
OF Sugar Refining, American Tobacco, Con
Gnental Tobacco. and the so-called steel
industrials Other weak features were
Peoples Gas, Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and
Pacific Mail, and the occasional rallies that
appeared in these stocks seemed to result
wholly from closing out Of short contracts.
Western Union was rather more active
than for some time, and reflected the pres
sure that has appeared Of late a. tie ap-
proach Of each quarterly dividend decla,a-

The decline in Pacific Mail was probably
induced by the publication OF the com

strength, at one time showing an advance
Of S-4c over last night. The better part
OF this advance was lost, however, on
realizing sales. There was good buying for
local account, and commission houses
showed more interest in the market than
they have for some time. Primary receipts
were 500, GOO bushels less than last year.
Clearances were 612O bushels. There
were reports Of rain in the Argentine

Of the day, 1-id3-Sc over Wednesday.
Sympathy with wheat was an important
factor, but there were enormous clear

puts its shipping business as high as
eighty-fve loads. There was hardly any
shipping business from here the rail rates
