The advance in the stock market re-
Gently resulted in largely reducing the
short interest, thereby removing one f
the chief props beneath the market.
The absence of demand from this
quarter was reflected to no small extent
in yesterdays dealings The trading
was extremely limited, except in a few
specialties, in Which special Influences
were at work The street clings tena-
ciously to the belef that the Sugar
trade war has been amicably settled,
and buying of that Industrial has been
conspicuously heavy Of late Tobacco
stock took on new life today and added
several points to its market quotations
on the report that it had bought up an
other competitor. Brooklyn RAPID
Transit opened higher by large frac-
ton, but was attacked by the profess
sional element and. after it had reacted
over a point, rallied smartly to its open
ing figures. Interest in the market
waned after II O'Clock and it remained
dull Turing the afternoon.
The market at the opening was I'M
settled and decidedly irregular. The
railroads were inclined to sag in spite
OF advances IN London prices. Great
Western debertures fell over points,
rallying later while on the ether hand.
Great Western preferred rose d point,
and southwestern preferred gained |
large fraction. Tennessee Coal and
Colorado Fuel were strong and ruled
from ! to points above Wednesday
night. The general market responded
very slightly to the advance in Tobac-
co. The break in Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit was accompanied by the rumor OF
some intended change in the manage
mept of the company and to the failure
of negotiations for the sale Of block
of Bsooklyn Rapid Transit stock, Which
is supposed to have beer hanging over
the market. Brokers of certain lead
Ing bull houses had orders to sell diff
ferent stocks when Brooklyn Rapid
Transit declined.
Heaviness in the copper shares was
the only feature of the Boston stcck
market. There was no especial weak
ness, but prices generally were inclined
to sag. Loaning rates showed a firmer
tendency in the money market, whicl,

amount of arbitrage trading was much

The stock market opened dull and with

the bear side the reaction extended to
even those shares like Sugar, American

WILL VOTE TO LEASE.

Boston and Albany officials say that
the responses, both orally and by let
ter to their recently issued circular are
coming in very freely, and that they
are well pleased with the Endorsement
winch their action appears to be get
ting among many of the stockholders.
In number of cases word has reached
them of stockholders who, at first, in
clined to vote against the lease are
now satisfied with it's provisions. and
Will give their proxies to the manage
ment. One of these, who represents a
very large stock interest, says, among
other things:
The danger is that if the opposition
is successful the result will be less ia
vorable terms than now can be Sc
cured. The opposition offer no plan
which the other party to the contract
is likely to accept and they cannot give
an assurance that they can do any bet
ter, and there is, of course, danger that
they may have to ultimately make a
worse trade. The Boston and Albany
may not always be absolutely indispen-
sable to the New York Central peo-
pie.
THE New York Central guarantee is
strong one and no opposition should
be based on any supposition that it is
not. Inc physical condition OF the lSoS-
ton and Albany is, of course, excellent,
and were it not so the proposed terms
could have hardly been secured. The
New York Central people undoubtedly
knew the strength and weakness of the
Boston and Albany road They are
able, fair and honorable people, and if
the present lease is not accepted. the
chances are they will bide their time
and force the stockholders to ultimate
ly accept less favorable terms.
ut must not be forgotten that the
railroads in the future will probably
have to contend against lower rates OH
the one hand, and on the other, a larger
proportion of the earnings will have
to go to the maintenance of the roads,
in order to handle the traffic economi-
cally. The proposed guarantee relieves
the Boston and Albany stockholders of
this danger"

A BIG TIP.
But Just REMEMBER That 1t is From an
insiier.

The regular application for the listing
of the securities of the American Steel
and Wire Company will probably be
made to the New York Stock Elk
change within the next two weeks.
According to inside information, the
officers maintain that for the next five
years the company can pay per cent
olVldends on the preferred stock, 5
per cent on the common, and write off
annually $5,000,00O for depreciation. and
at the end of that period be in such
sound financial condition as to abso-
lutely defy competition of any sort.

A WILD MARKET.
Fake Reports Sent Out Cause Panic
In the Cotton Market.

Owing to the manipulation OF
the cable from Liverpool this morn
ing, the cotton market today has
been Chinese puzzle. The ex-
change at New Orleans was so
thoroughly convinced that all was
not right, or rather that job was
being worked on the market, that
all deals in futures and spots were
declared of for the day and the
exchange closed. The prevailing
opinion was that the cable operator
had been bought to issue fake re-
ports and the uncertainty was so
apparent that it was deemed advls-
able to allow no deals on futures
or spots, hence the closing Of the
exchange.
The first quotation received IN
Ardmore this morning showed a
decline Of - points. and 1t came
like thunderbolt. Next came a
raise of 80 points, which made
matters more uncertain. Our
dealers were stumped. Buyers got
orders purchase all the cotton
vou can get. only to be followed
IN a few minutes by a telegram
don't buy, get out of the mark
ct. The result of all this was that
for tive or more hours this morn
ing Main street was jammed with
cotton wagons from the depot TO
the court house. There must have
been at least 300 bales of cotton
on wheels in sight. Then came an
assurance from New Orleans that
the market was unchanged from
Yesterday and the weighers in the
yards had lively work till noon.
