The French troops encountered Dec.

'ao- Iing-Fu Chinese force numbering

a dispatch to the Pail Mall Gazette
from PelSing, dated Dec "a, says much
irritation has been caused by the activi-
ty Of the German troops in the districts
under British protection. So acute has
been the feeling, the dispatch adds, that
there has been a question of the British
seeding from the allied command. The
foreign Office, however, denies the truth
Of the dispatch.
In the course of careful review pub
lished in The Morning Post of the con-
ditions existing. at Peking Mr.. H. j.

correspondent and golf player, says there
are now quarter of a million of inhab-

He adds that the American and Jap

Continuing, Mr.. Whigham says:

THE STOCK MARK EFT
Professional Operations Quict-A Com
dillon of StnunntiOn.

New York, Jan. 16.-Professional OPP
erations in stocks fell away consider
ably to-day, and as there is no other
interest in the market the dealings
made further progress toward con-
dition Of stagnation. There was some
slight speculation in Sugar, Tobacco
and the local fractions, but these repre-
scented little more than swapping
jack-knives'' amongst the board room
traders, as may be judged from the
days small net changes. These spec
ulative faVorites are higher on the day,
after various fluctuations. There is no
better explanation of their having gone
up than that they went down yester-
day. There was evidence of a desire
on the part of the shorts to cover in
Tobacco, which pulled it up sharply in
the late dealings and the rest of the
market with it. Had it not been for
this, losses instead of gains would like
ly have predominated, as the market
dragged along during the early hours
at a lower range of values. 1t was en-
phatically waiting market, and 1t was
by no means clear what 1t was wait
ing for. The fact that the dizziness was
shared by the other great speculative
centers of the world gives point to the
supposition that the development OF
conditions in South Africa is what is
awaited Money conditions continue
to make progress towards greater ease
all over the world, without the slight
est effect on speculation. A period of
stagnation after so drastic a liquida-
ton as that Of last month is by no
,L, ,s,i<
counting the South African situation.
1t is very generally believed that a
British success there would cause a
sharp rally in prices, If for no other
reason than from the covering demand
by the bears, who have sold the market
in a spirit of scepticism over any early
change in the situation. 1t would be
necessary to go back two years to the
time of uncertainty preceding our war
with Spain, to find parallel for the
absolute listlessness and patient wait
ing which are the characteristics of the
current stock market. Rates for time
money were shaded below 5 per cent.
on choice collateral under the infiu
ence of the large accumulation Of re-
serves which is coming into the New
York banks.
Dealings in bonds were on a larger
scale than those in stocks and prices
were more firmly held. Occasionally
large individual transactions reflect the
continued flow of capital into fixed in
vestments. Total sales par value, ST.

Hartford, Jan. 16.-In the second peri
cd of to-night's game Kid Conway
broke his skate. To give Conway a
chance Heffernan made bluff that his
skate was broken. Referee Doherty or
dered the men to play and put the ball
in the center of the floor. Cunningham
grabbed it and skated away. He ran
away from the referee and policeman
finally put him off the floor. Conway
refused to play towards the close of the
second period, and Providence finished
the game with three men. Cunning
hams act was very babyish and he was
roundly Kissed, while Pierce was cheered
for playing. The score: Hartford s,
