The heavy rains of last week caused
considerable damage at Eddyyille.
The Des Moines river over-fowed it's
banks, two feet of water running over
the road at. the old town of Bridge
port. The stationary engine at work
on the new Iowa Central bridge was
carried away and lodged against the
wagon bridge. The pile driver at
work on the Northwestern bridge,
together with a lot of heavy timbers
were washed from their locations,
but were rescued by the workmen.
The river is unusually high for this
time Of the year.

THE STOCK MARK E7.
Its General Characteristics of
 Strength and Breadth,

New York, Feb. 6.-The stock market
 to-day regained it's general characteris-
 tics of strength and breadth. A large outside interest was manifest in the market and the professional operators
 who bought at the lower level were busy in bidding up the prices of their possessions and in feeding the new de-, mand to take their profits. But while selling stocks from the one hand to realize on the rise, they were taking on new holdings of different stocks with the other, Apparently the confidence that stocks which have not yet shared in the advance could be induced to move upwards was unimpaired and the holdings of the large financial interests which have taken hold of the market were broadened and extended The duration of this kind of upward move ment does not always depend strictly on the continuance of the public de- mand for stocks. There is a constant process of unloading, by compact and well organized financial interests, into the hands of scattered and unskilled spectators, who have not the same ex- perience and adroitness in protecting their holdings, nor the same resources for maintaining them. The progress

| of a bull movement almost inevitably
 results in the transfer of holdings from
 strong to weak hands and leaves the
 market vulnerable to attack. by bear
 operators, who are able to force selling
 by offering down prices and uncovering margins. Even to-day attempts by bear operators were in evidence to force declines, but the general demand for stocks continued so good, and the large | holdings are still in such strong hands | that the market resisted bear assaults and presented a hard and unyielding | surface, even at points where realizing was going on Yesterdays strength in National Steel gave way to realizing o-day and the metal group of stocks was without any conspicuous leader ship. Norfolk and Western was also sold to take profits all day, after an opening rise of point, but refused to yield below last nights level. Tennes- see Coal was forced down at one time I3% points. The bears centered their attack on sugar, and had that stock down at one time to 10S1s. Rumors tAat the rehneries were to shut down and over production to be worked off at loss figured in the manipulation. But in the meantime an aggressive buying movement developed in the trunk movement developed In the trunk lines, led by Pennsylvania, in the coal CTS led by Reading first preferred on the decision to pay dividend, and in the grangers and westerns, led by St. Paul and Atchison. The Baltimore and
 Ohio stocks, also, after pause of a day to digest profit taking, renewed the advance The progress towards ex- tension of holdings by the great rail- road systems of lesser and competing systems had much to do with the strength of Pennsylvania and other lines supposed to be ip progress of absorption. The coming advance in the t.dewater freight rates on bituminous coal was also an element. In the outside market there was an advance of over thirty points to 345 in the price of Standard Oil on the declaration of a dividend of 20 per cent for the quar- terly period. There was also activity and strength in Amalgamated Copper. The closing of the market was active and strong at about the top.
 The bond market showed increased activity and general strength. Total sales par value, $3,625,000.
 United States 3s advanced k and the new As 4 in the bid price.

school has been excellent and the general
condition Of the entire property is good

Several residents and property hold RS
of the southwest section, including John
S. Barker, Charles Barker, and Rebecca
Smith Phoenix. have petitioned the Com
missioneTs requesting that an item of
so. coo be included in the estimates to
Congress for continuing and improving
Minnesota Avenue northward from
Pennsylvania Avenue.
This section OF the county the petit
TONERS say. ito the southeast of the
Eastern Bran,h. contains approximately
one-third of the territory OF the Dis
trict of Columbia. outside of the original
cities of Washington and Georgetown.
and contains large population. Ac-
cording to the last police census this
section was shown to contain about one
fourth of the population Of the county.
I'VE particularly ask that you includ :
in your estimates for the street to be
opened and improved an estimate OF
$40, 600 for continuing Minnesota Avenue
from Pennsylvania Avenue, where it
now terminates. The river road from
Pennsylvania Avenue northward for a
mile is in bad condition. The read in
this section is billy. and the extension
of Minnesota Avenue would largely cut
out the billy portion Of this read besides
Strengthening it. The road is largely
used both for heavy traffic and for pleas
ure driving.
While we cannot say that the prep
erty through which the avenue will ex-
tend will be dedicated, we may say that
we believe 1t will be through the greater
portion of the extension asked for. Some
small holdings may refuse to dedicate,
but the proportion which they bear to
the whole Is very small"
In considering the application, at the
request of the Commissioners, Capt. II.
c. Newcomer recommended that the peti-
TONERS be informed that although the
Commissioners would favor the extern
sion of Minnesota Avenue as requested.
yet they do not consider 1t advisable to
submit estimates for the improvement
of any street for which the District has
not acquired title to the necessary land.
This recommendation has been ap-
proved by the Engineer Commissioner,
and it is understood that the petitioners
will be informed in accordance there
with.
