concord, N. H, Dec. 27-Of the cases
70 ne presented to the United States
grand jury, which reconveaed in this
CITY, today, after an adjournment OF
several weeks, the one of more than
local interest is that against Senator
JACOB ii. Gallinger. who is charged BY

me complainant is Hon. Charles a
Busiei Of Laconia, formerly governor of
the state, who alleges that in the cam

republican state committee violated
the CIVIL service laws of the United
states IN permitting to be issued under

attracted considerable attention
throughout the country owing to thu
prominence Of Mr.. Gallinger and lhc
ana which has been accorded ex-Gov-
erhor Busiel in pushing the case by
senator William L. Chandler.
The charges were made in 1898 ana at
first an attempt was made to include
William T. Thayer treasurer Of the
Republican state committee. who is
president of the First National Bank
OF Concord. ana considered by some
authorities as a government official.
But when the case was laid before the
civil service commission at Washing

against Senator Gallinger.
Commissioner Mark Brewer of the
commission finally came to Concord.
ana in July last a hearing was given.
At which several lively passages took
place between Mr.. Brewer ana Senator
Chandler and between the latter ana
Senator Gallingor. At one time a eel

hearing was unsatisfactory to Ex-
Governor Busicl ana as a result he de-

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec. 19-The concerted
measures of the most powerful finan-
cial interests in the country proved eff
fectiye today in checking the progress
towards panic and collapse in the stock
market. Supporting orders were dis
tributed all through the list at the open
ing and prices were advanced in an eff
fort to restore confidence. But liquida-
ton continued on a very heavy scale
and drove prices lower again after the
opening. The advance in the Bank OF
Germany's official discount rate from six
TO seven per cent, and the hardening
of the private discount rate in Lon
don with reports from that center, OF
further engagements of gold from New
York for shipment this week helped to
unsettle confidence. Prices ebbed and
flowed between reaction and recovery
many times before the flood Of liquida'
ton had been finally absorbed and the
selling brought to a standstill.

their resources to accommodate the de-

Inand for loans, the determination of the
Secretary of the Treasury to largely
increase Government deposits with de-
pository banks and the course of funds
from domestic centres toward New Aork
IN response to the acute needs developed
yesterday all tended to reinsurance. The
interval since yesterday in itself helped
TO quiet somewhat the hysterical appre-
tensions of yesterday, and conditions at
no time today approached panic.
When the tide of liquidation was seen
to be stemmed by the abundant resources
afforded prices set about a violent re-
covery under urgent demand from the
short interest and active bidding up by
the traders and insiders. The sharp adj
vances invited some realizing, but the
undertone of the market continued strong
up to the close, which was at net gains
running from two to twelve points for
the principal active stocks.
Investment buying of bonds was in
evidence and this market generally re-
sponded to the late strength in stocks,

clines which served to make the tone

COTTON.

COTTON.
New York, Dec. 19-The swing of
the cotton market was decidedly more
narrow; yesterday it was a matter of
forty-three points. Today it was a mat
ter of thirteen points. with the general
tendency upward. The opening call
developed the fact that a good many
11-hour selling orders had reached the
market from scattered quarters ;but these
We're promptly absorbed with the rear
positions showing leading strength; they
advanced five to eleven points on the
call, while the more remote deliveries
advanced only one to two points The
principal cause of the better feeling was
the rehabilitating overtures made in
money circles. Advices from the Stock
Exchange were Of a decidedly more re-
assuring character But an underlying
element Of strength was the resistance
shown by the English cotton market in
the face of yesterdays panicky condi-
tons on this side of the water To the
great decline which occurred here, Liver
pool responded with net loss of one
to two points only, and closed firm. Fol-
lowing the opening call the general ten
dency of sentiment was in the direction
VI 1t II0fp 8UthIlISn VIEW, III THIS the
South took the leadership. particularly
in the matter of spot offerings In
vestment buying was no small part of
the days heavy transactions. Covering
however, was the principal feature. At
the best point of the day the market
showed net gain Of twelve to thirteen
points. During the session occasional
runors of renewed panicky tendencies
in Wall Street made the cotton market
waver and indicated the dependence Of
the staple upon re-established conditions
in Wall Street. 1t is estimated that
today's business in cotton futures was
considerably less than half of that of
yesterday, when 10000 and 15,000-bale
lots were kicked around the cotton pit
like footballs. Some heavy lots were
also dealt in today; but as a rule the
character of the business was much
more normal, and largely in the direction
Of REIMBURSEMENT, and supported by sub
stantial margins At the close the mar
ket was steady in tone with prices ele-
ven to thirteen points net higher on the
present crop months and one to two
points net lower on the far months. The
latter was relatively weaker owing to
the belief that planters were preparing
for a record-breaking crop in 1900.

New York, Dec. 19.-The market to-
day has ruled decidedly quiet. There
has been a slight spot business, and mail
orders, as usual on Tuesday have been
below the average of other days. Prices
for quick deliveries or all descriptions
of cotton goods are decidedly firm, ow-
ing to scarcity of ready supplies, but
brown cotton sellers are occasionally
rather easier to deal with. No changes
in bleached cottons, wide sheetings and
coarse colored goods. Print cloths mac
tive but firm. Prints and ginghams
very firm. Mems wear woolens and
worsteds strong, and such lines as have
been opened for next fall are selling
