THE WATERW0RKS RUNNING
Some of the Streets Are Lighted and the Debris is Being Rapidly Cleared-The Recuperation
 is Marvellous

Galveston, Tex, September 16.-NoS. that the water works are running some of the streets lighted, many others nearly cleared of debris and telegraphic communication with the outside world re-established, the people of Galveston are anxiously looking forward to the re-establishment of rail communication. They will not have to wait long, for the work of relaying the tracks, and rebuilding a bridge across the bay is being pushed with every energy The officials in charge of the work believe that they will be able to run trains into the Galveston union depot on Thursday. The work thus far has been remarkable, and has been accomplished under the great est difficulties. Track has been laid along a right of way which has been swept by the sea and washed into ravines, along a line bestrewn with dead bodies of men and animals. The men worked in a blazing sun, in water and slush and mud, in sur roundings sickening to the senses, and at first without adequate supply of food. The greatest difficulties in the way of securing material for the work, or rather in get ting the material to the places where it is needed, have been encountered Not withstanding these difficulties the work has gone on day and night and the struc- ture that s to bring Galveston in real touch with the outside world is being steadily pushed forward to the stricken city which is so rapidly and marvelously recuperating.

ro,ho,t A palner,s stock Letter

By Private Wire from the New York Sun
 New York January 12.-The local stock market opened strong and active, particu- larly for the railway list, and notably for the international shares. The speculation continued most animated in Sugar Refin- ing and the local traction issued The fiuc- tuations in the first named were again very wide and cratic and the dealings were again based altogether upon the uncer- tainty in regard to the future dividend policy of the company, growing out of the presidents remarks at the annual meeting of the stockholders on Wednesday, The dealings in the railway list, however. were the most significant of the days transac- tions. Particularly firm features in this quarter of the market were Baltimore and Ohio, Louisville and Nashville, the Grang- CTS shares and the Southern Railway. There was nothing particularly bearing upon the instances cited, apart from the weekly statements of earnings submitted by the Southern Railway and Louisville and Nashville companies, both of which reflected the good activity in the southern states business, the most conspicuous quar- ter of the whole country.

 New Orleans, January 12.-1he continent and France having been liberal buyers of staple in the local market during the past few days, sales here today amounted to 10 $50 bales at 1-16c advance; Liverpool was also up 1-32d on spots; se;es, 10000 bales; SC was Havre, the lover grades in the French market gaining tf,e equivalent of 3-16d. The feature of the day was the small in sight for the week, 174,000 bales against 176.000 in 1S97 which places the movement to date at 440,962 bales astern of the season when the crop was but S. 757,000 bales. The bears, However, found some relief in the visible supply of Amers- can losing only 68,000, whereas last year when the movement was much larger the visible lost 37,000 bales. Messrs R. T.

 Causing Net Gains
BEARS AGAIN IN EVIDENCE

New York, January 12.-The cotton mar ket opened firm at an advance of 2dl6 points, but business was not active, as there were rumors of contemplated manipulation. Dur ing the forenoon certain Wall street con cerns and Liverpool representatives com peted little with local shorts, but the de- nan1 was not active at any time, and busi- ness gradually tapered off.
 By noon most of the improvements had disappeared under local liquidation In the absence of outside support; but the local contingent, while inclined to be a little bearish on the apathy of the outside trad CTS, were not-all confident in view of the strong statistical situation, the small move- ment of cotton at the ports and the firmness of holders of spot cotton in the more ins- porant markets of the south.
 During the afternoon the market was neglected until just before the close, w'ien there was a sharp rally on covering The final tone was steady, with prices to ! points net higher.
