The market may be considered to have
been a satisfactory and even gratifying
one yesterday from the standpoint o.
strength The bad news from the seat OF
war had practically no adverse effect on
prices, and before the end OF the first
hour of the day the small initial declines
had been reeained. There was again. how
ever. the same dullness that has been the
chief feature of business for several weeks
past. The utter absence of outside buying

O'Clock. and il was finally understood that
IL would not be announced until today. The

The Paris Echo Agricole'' considers that
the recent official crop report of France In

eral decrease in the worlds visible. Stocks
of wheat at Odessa estimated at 5000, 900
bushels. Official report OF Ontario wheat
crop, 81, is1 900 bushels, against go 600, 900
bushels last year. Railway officials say
there is bat little wheat left for shipment
in the Southwest. What there is will tie

pally to Kansas. Minneapolis reports an

PRICES DROP IN LONDON
The Slump Has Little Effect Upon
the New York Market.
General Buffers Retreat Demornlizes
Foreign Trading-A Heavy Shrink
age i'm kanirs-an Advance in the
Industrial Qunrter-LOcal Traction
Shares Show Renewed Firmness.

NEW YORK. Jan. 29.--Today's stock
market was but little affected by the dis
concerning news from South Africa. Not
outstanding that the early cabled ad-
vices showed the London stock market in
a state of virtual decentralization over the
news of General Warren's retreat. the
initial losses in the early dealings averaged
less than per cent, and the declines then
made were later on fully recovered. The
feeling of disquietude in London was re-
fected in such losses as per cent in con-
soils. heavy shrinkage in Kaffirs, and in
the American quarter declines which ex-
ceeded one point Foreign houses were
sellers of stocks here but the total trans
actions on this account we're not, on bal
ance, in excess of $1,000 shares, which
would indicate that the speculative intel
est in American stocks there is extremely
dull. Trading was fairly active at the
opening, and it was then also well diver
siiied. hut subsequently the dealings fell
away in volume and speculative interest
was largely absorbed by few particular
stocks.
In the industrial quarter there was a
sharp advance in American Steel and Wire
common. based upon the expectations that
at today's meeting the stock would be
placed upon regular dividend paying
basis The advance in the price of re-
fined sugar made by the American COM
pany and one Of its competitors. appeared
TO induce some purchases of Sugar Re-
fning, under which the stock advanced
rapidly. Manhattan and Metropolitan
nj
tive, were both firm. and the advance in
those instances was attended by persistent
reports regarding the difficulties that the
successful bidder for the construction Of
the underground railroad was meeting
with IN his efforts to obtain the neces-
sary surety for the completion of his work.
Third Avenue stock broke violently at
the opening of business and its subsequent
recovery appeared to be in some part owing
TO the same influences under which Man.
haitian and Metropolitan were strong. The
recoveries in the railway list after the
opening. made the net changes in that
quarter Of the market very limited on the
day. and there was no particular news or
gossip bearing upon that quarter of the
market. The pronounced strength of sterl-
ing exchange was, perhaps, the most note
worthy feature OF the days situation. Not
withstanding the news from South Africa
there was no particular change in the
London money market nor were local
monetary conditions altered either. The
strength of sterling, while in measure
due TO the technical conditions of that mar
ket. was doubtless in part owing also TO |
expectations that with the meeting Of the |
British Parliament next month the fnan- |
eial measures in connection with the financ-
ing of The African war would be formulated I,
and il appears TO b. highly probable that |
in connection Herewith renewed shipments |
Of gold to London from this point may be |
counted upon

~ Reach an Agreement.

The board of development of Alexandria
county met yesterday afternoon in the
rooms of the Washington Board of Trade
1t was determined. after debate. to favor
a bill passed by the Virginia Legislature
Thursday last. providing for an issue of
bonds to the amount of $3.50 900 FOR the
improvement of county roads. The report
Of a special committee appointed at a pre-
yious meeting to investigate and report
upon the whole bonding proposition was
finally agreed to- after spirited discussion.
The meeting was called TO order at AIS
O'Clock by President A. NJ. Lothrop. Of
this city. Objection was made 10 consider
alton of the bonding bill. but was over
ruled. The matter was then discussed,
and vote finally reached upon the report

new bill now endorsed by the board makes
several radical changes in the original
measure, and provides for the apporti)n-
ment of the bond issue between the vari-
Gus districts of the county.

Described by Symptoms.

Hosts of people suffer from the
various malignant poisons in their
blood, which produce or result
from catarrh. Many other per-
sons suffer from nervous diseases,
liver diseases, kidney diseases,
and skin diseases, as the result of
irritating crystal poisons in the
blood. A majority of such suf-
ferers do not have a definite I'M
derstanding of the nature of their
af1lictiOn. The following symp-
toms have been arranged by us
to enable sufferers to understand
just what it is that ails them.
The proper course of those af-
fected is this: Read the symp-
toms carefully over; mark those
that apply to your ease, and bring
this with you TO Doctors of this
institution.

against the Southern Railway Company to
recover $4,000, claimed as damages for

The chief interest in the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit situation now lies in the meeting
of the directors and the choice of officers
to be made by them. One authority e1-
presses the opinion that II. H. Porter will
be given large interest in the manage
ment of the company, perhaps as chairman
of the board of directors. His appoint
ment to this position or TO any other that
would give him an active hand in the COM
pany's affairs would be considered an ex-
cellent move. He is a successful railway
man. He has been connected always with
projects that succeeded. IL is believed
that out of the immense potential posi-
bilities of the Brooklyn system he would
soon be cole to create big net earnings.
The gross earnings of the company are
nov Increasing at the rate of nearly $4,000
day. or more than a million dollars
