EAGER FOR DETAILS.

LONDON, Feb. 9.-All the messages
coming from the correspondents with
Gen. Butler throw in phrase or two
about the Strength of the Boer posi-
tion," and the difficulties OF Gen. Bull
lers work. but they do not carry events
beyond Tuesday evening.
Their latest slender narratives leave
the British advance ON Vaal Krantz in
the center of a seni-circle, where the
troops are exposed to the Boer artillery
on both sides and in the center.
The fighting continued until Tuesday
evening, and almost without doubt con-
tinued Wednesday, as the Beers certainly
would not leave this wedge into their
lines unmolested. 1t is also inferred that
Gen. Butler must either continue his ad-
vance or retire.
The heaviest fighting appears to have
been on Tuesday. Gen. Buffers 233 cas-
ualties are mentioned as having occurred
before noon Tuesday. Large lists are
consequently expected for the rest of the
day. The casualties already reported
bring the total British losses during the
war to 1924 killed, wounded and cap
tured.
The disposition here is rather to mini
mize the Importance Of the fighting in
Natal, and to suggest that this Is only
an incident anyway. placing hope upon
expected decisive engagements in north
ern Cape Colony and on the invasion
of the Free State by Lord Roberts. At
all events this is the official view. The
public does not like these new waits and
this sharp anxiety for news.
Cen Macdonald has had a skirmish
with 5000 Beers at Koodooborg. This was
on Monday The Beers have been taking

The evening times., 1900-03-23

NEW YORK March 23.-The Stock Mar
ket opened exceedingly active and irregu-
lar changes resulted from the early deal
ings. All the local traction stocks de
clined rather sharply in advance of the i'm
position of the new franchise taxes. Sugar
Refining also reacted slightly. but else
where the industrial quarter had rather
firm tone. The trading continued most
animated. however. in the railway list,
which for the most part was again strong.
Baltimore and Ohio was an exception in a
rather sharp further decline. but renewed
strength was shown by Pennsylvania. The
Wheeling and Lake Erie, Louisville and
Nashville and Norfolk and Western is
sues.
The initial tone Of irregularity was
largely on account Of the fact that The
London market did not respond fully 10 the
advances made here yesterday. Al one
time during the day American stocks were
quoted in London fully up to the New York
parity. but subsequently they developed
a reactionary tone. This was accounted
disappointing in view OF the large part
taken bv London in yesterdays advance.
Aside from this circumstance. there was
little that was new bearing upon the mar
ket. although The probable showing TO be
made by the banks tomorrow was. as is
usual toward the end of the week dis
cussed with considerable interest. London
houses had orders on both sides of the
market in the early dealings.
