ANXIOUS Mr.. WI.
He Worried About That PaO
Ting Flu Expedition.

Washington. Oct. minister WI was
one of Secretary Hays early callers to-
day. He had no late advices from China,
but came to learn the course Of this
government on the French proposition
He expressed considerable apprehension
over the press reports that a large mill
itary expedition was moving on Pao
Ting Flu He looks upon this as likely
to cause serious complications and a re-
newaI of agitation among the Chinese
He says that the reports Of serious boxer
upriSings in the south of China are not
correct and are set afioat with a view to
creating the impression on this side OF
the water that grave dangers exist
which call for a military campaign by
the allies. The best evidence Of this, he
SAYS is the fact that there are no box
er.s in the south OF China. The minister
feels certain that Earl Ii Hung Chang
has arrived at Pekin.
Nothing has been heard from Mr.. Con-
ger for a day or two 1t appears that
minister had submitted to the state de-
uartment a list of Chinese officials who
should be punished He did supply the
department with a copy=zef the imperial
eclict in which a number OF officials were
mentioned but made no prescriptions
himself although he did express the
opinion that other Chinese besides those
named were fit subjects for punish
ment
With the reply made yesterday to the
French note respecting China, the state
department has assumed again an atti-

New York Up-rown Gossln.

Furnished by J. c. Goings Commission
Company. members Chicago Board OF
Trade, Topeka
New York, Oct. 1.-THE borrowing de-
mand for stocks has fallen off to such an
extent this week that it is safe to as
sumo that the short interest.in the mar
keu has been pretty well eVened up. if
not almost entirely eliminated. In fact,
stocks are more plentiful in the loan
crowd than borrowers. This is not en-
coura ging for higher prices. The eiimin-
alton of a short interest of large proper
tions removes from the market its chief
power makes its appearance stocks are
likely TO work lower. There has been
decided raining on IN speculative persons
the past rev days and the street does not
look quite as cheerful as IL did the last
few days and from what is being done by
the Chlcago contlngent there Is praSLc-
ally no outside business II is exceeding
~ difficult TO get any one TO buy stocks.
The prevailing opinion Is that the mar
ket viii have a severe shaking up the
last week of this month, yet those who
afraid to back their convictions by taking
the selling side, both the bulls and bears
are afraid to make a decisive move, they
prefer to await the result OF the election
and the adjustment OF the monetary sit
uation before taking any chances Peo-
pies Gas is the weakest stock on the list.
The decision Of a Chicago judge that the
company must furnish gas to all its pa
irons at the same rate, 40 cents per thous-
and feet, IS a severe blow 10 the trust.
If the Injunction is made permanent the
company will be enormous loser fin
ancially and stockholders will receive no
more dividends at the rate of per cent.
Western spectators continue their at
tacks upon the stock and lower prices
are considered absolutely certain. A very
prominent Chicago trader wired a MEM
Der of a large brokerage house here, last
evening, to advise all his friends to sell
this stock for a ten point break. Although
the shares have already lost several
points, the bears maintain that it is still
tar from the bottom. The company has
had some unpleasant experience in the
past few years, but it has never been
in such a disagreeable position as 1t is at
the present moment. Manhattan is
stronger than the rest of the market, a
fact suggestive of manipulation. While
it is generally known that a bull pool is
working to put the price up, it is ques-
ton whether much progress can be made
unless the tone of the market develops
more strength, and speculation broadens
considerably. Were these conditions more
favorable the pool would have little diff
ficulty in carrying out its programme. 1t
is hard for a Spectator to determine
what course to follow in such an unsat-
isfactory market About the only thing to
do is to turn whenever the tide does. BY
taking advantage of the changes, one can
scalp out small profits on both sides. It's
a trader market and the fluctuations will
not permit of big returns.
