GENERAL MARKET REPORT

Special Dispatch &c The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. January 2s-Today's stock
market hinged in some measure on the
weekly bank statement and the attitude
of London. Both factors were favorable.
inasmuch as London bought moderately
and the banks paid nearly three times the
amount of lawful money generally ex-
pected.
This latter influence should figure promi-

tive business is considered. The deposits
again reflect the enormous inflow of capital

than for the previous week. The increase
in the latter item, together with the in

gain and the surplus reserve is conse-

quirements So. .232025
This showing in no way menaces the
growth and expansion Of the present mar

lntTS is a disposition at the close OF The
week to regard future bulges as a likely
selling point. This argument overthrows
the one-sided condition Of the market and
develops difference Of opinion which must
in the long run work around to the general
good of the speculative situation.
The profit-taking which has been a fea-
ture of the closing hour during the week
has served as a check TO over-trading and
the growing, popular Endorsement of the

Citizens Committee Argues Before
Senate subcommittee.


A committee, consisting of W. l.. Cole,
Louis P. Shoemaker, James w. Somer-
vile, E. B. Townsend and Thomas Blag-
den, presented an argument on the eN-
tension of streets to the subcommittee of
the Senate committee on the District of
Columbia this afternoon at 2:3o O'Clock
They spoke in favor of the extension of
10th street to the District line. Mr.. Cole,
among other things, said:
sWe have ascertained and feel justified in
representing to the committee that the
land between Piney branch and Blagien
Mill road will be donated in case the ex-
from Military road to the District line,
consisting in all of 6S.4S acres.
1t is probable that the land between
Blagden Mill road and the Military road
will have to be condemned, amounting to
about 10 acres. This land, which will not
be donated, is held in small parcels, and
the quantity of land that would have to be
taken for the street is so large in propor-
tion to the remaining portions that the
though many Of them, Il not all, would be
able TO dedicate sufficient land for a street

ADVICE TO THE PRESS

HAVANA, January 2s.-The Spanish
Bank will not collect any more taxes in
Cuba. Major General Brooke. governor
general of the island, received Information
last night from Washington that the bank s
collection was left to his discretion. The
bank is STILL under the orders of January Z,
authorized to collect taxes, but orders re-
scinding the contract will be issued.
General Brooke is engaged in a careful
examination of the back taxes and will use
his discretion in the matter of their =
mission. While there is no information as
to what he will do in the matter, there
is no doubt the general will remit all taxes
prior to December 81 1898.
Considering Assessments.
The matter of assessments of real estate
for taxes during the year 1899 is being most
carefully considered. The Spanish assess
ments are not reliable, and properties today
are in some cases worth less than formerly.
There are indications that new assessments
will be made this year, and that taxes will
be collected through provincial bureaus
which are to BE- established under the Gu
ban treatury department. Such bureaus
can be established within ten days, and will

Ihe rationS for the CubanS in the hands
OF the military authorities are only suf-

sitlons were made yesterday for a further
supply, including condensed milk and can
ned soups for the sick, well as an in
creased allowance of rice.
Friendly Advice Of the Press.
The military authorities are wisely fore
stalling the possible future necessity for
press censorship by giving words of good
advice to the newspapers here.

COLD INCREASES WANT.
The Associated Charities in Need of
Funds.

The cold weather. it is stated, has caused
considerable increase in the demands made
on the Associated Charities, and the asso-
citation is doing all it to investigate and
procure relief in all needy cases.
The association is, however, in urgent
need of funds, as many of the yearly SUBJ
scribers have not yet sent in their contri
buttons.
Many people have thought there was not
so much need this winter as usual, on ac-
count of the mild weather, but this has
been more than offset by the prevalence of
so much sickness. The Associated Chari-
ties has had more sick cases to deal with
this winter than at any time for many
years. Many of the patients are i'll of
diphtheria and scarlet fever. and in these
cases the whole family is maintained while
one member only may be sick
Canvassers are at work soliciting funds
jointly for the Associated Charities and
the Citizens Relief Association, but thus
far the response has been entirely made
