NEW YORK, November 14.-Today's
stock market reflected further realizing
and in few instances special movement
| in shares in which important developments
are said to be pending. London bought a
few shares. and was disposed to curtaiI
selling pending more definite information
as to the probable course of the local mar
ket The large interests were reported to
be favoring lower prices and sold some
stocks in consequence. The room traded
both ways and was badly mixed as to the
immediate tendency of the market.
Northern Pacific was marked up sharply
under rumors of an imp hiding drive against
the short interest. A large amount of stock
which had been freely loaned was said TO
have been called, and scramble to cover
followed. Up over CT the selling was better
than the buying and a reaction of pei
cent followed The companys statement
makes a good showing, and the street has
revived the rumor that the price will he
made to equal that of Union Pacific COM
mon.
Pennsylvania Railroad was again marked
up to record prices under an excellent de-
mand- The vague rumors that some i'm
portant deal was pending helped the ad-
vance The strength of Norfolk and West
ern and all the coal shares in which Penn
sylvania is interested moved up in SYM
cdtny.
Manhattan was advanced under good
demand. and excellent statement of
earnings helped the movement. The local
traction roads are the subject of much con-
fident discussion just now, and very posi-
tive assurances are given that liberal de-
mand is in the market for these shares.
several of the larger steam roads being in
terested, it is said.
The street is at a loss to determine the
significance of the Southern Pacific-Pacific
Mail transaction. The stock of the latter
company declined for time, but the belief
is growing that inside interests must sup
port the price until after the new bond is
sue is made, at least.
The directors of Adams Express Com
pany declared an extra dividend of 2 per
cent from the company's investments in adj
dltlon to the regular rate from current
bl siness. This action is significant since
it is accompanied with the statement that
the extra per cent is virtually assured for
the future

Statement of General Counsel Baxter
of the Faribnult Company.
Mr. George N. Baxter general counsel for
the Orinoco Company. Limited, more COM
monty known rs the Faribault Company.
who Is here in connection with the protest
lodged by that company with the State De-
partment against the cancellation of its
concession in Venezuela, today stated that
his attention having been drawn to a pub
lshed interview with reputed officer of
the company, in which the officer Is re-
ported as having severely censured our
State Department and Mr.. LOOMS, our min
ister to Venezuela, he CMr. Baxter) wishes
to enter a denial Of the allegation.
Mr.. Baxter says that 1t was charged that
Mr.. LOOMS and the State Department hal
displayed apathy toward the interests Of
American citizens in Venezuela in general
and those of the Orinoco Company Limit
ed in particular. Says he:
Il am quite familiar with the different
enterprises in which American capital is
interested in Venezuela, and am confident
that none of them have suffered by reason
of any action or inaction of our State De
partment or diplomatic representa- tives un.
der the present administration"
Mr.. Baxter. referring to the protests
which he has filed for his own company
declares that President Casco promulgated
the cancellation of the company's fran
chises without giving opportunity to file
protests, or to invoke the Intervention of
the United States government, II It had
been SO disposed. He maintains that judi
ciai decisions In Venezuela in similar case
warrant the contention that the concession
Is still subsistent, and he maintains that
the company. having spent over $50 600
in its exDloitations, and having made SUBJ
stantial progress. considering the civil dis
orders of the country, he has no doubt that
the State Department will find basis for in
PREVENTION to prevent denial Of justice.

Mr.. NJ. F. Thompson and several other
citizens of Southwest Washington appeared
before the District Commissioners today for
the purpose of asking them to remove the
police patrol box located at the southeast
corner Of AZ street and Maryland avenue
to some other point. The bringing Of I'M
lawful and other Objectionable persons I'M
der arrest to the box, they stated, is very
annoying to people residing In it's vicinity,
and they suggested that it might be moved
nearer the center of the disorderly and
unlawful sections. 1t was finally agreed
that the box should be removed to a point
on Maryland avenue between Sd and AZ

much that results in things complained of

much that results in things complained Of
by the petitioners.
Bat, in admitting the existence of the
matter complained of Mr.. Mckenney de-
MED that the railroads have in a single in
stance done or caused to be done any thin &
unnecessary, or which was intended to be
an annoyance to the private citizen or to
the public. nor have they willfully violated
the law. The railroads, he stated, are do
ing and have been doing their utmost to
meet the business they required to
meet, and he pointed out that even If they
so desired they could not refuse either
freight or passenger business, declaring
that ii requires every moment of their time
to meet this business. For that reason he
charged that it is absurd to say that they
have made any unnecessary shifting of
cars, or that they have been allowed to re-
main out of use moment longer than
could be avoided.
Remedy ut Law.
The railroads, added Mr.. McKenney have
never desired or intended to iniure any
ones property or cause any one the slight
est annoyance, and he referred to the suits
brought against the railroads. in which
persons annoyed or whose property had
been injured recovered damages. remarking
that If any one is now being annoyed or
suffering injury to his property that per-
son has remedy at law. He also referred
To the desire of the railroads to do away
with grade crossings and other objectiona-
bic matters, saying that the moment Con-
greS& grants the necessary authority they
will begin the expenditures of millions of
dollars TO remove the very conditions COM
planned of.
Mr.. Johnson concluded the hearing by
saving that the burden of Mr.. McKenneys
Argument or statement amounted to d
declaration that the right Of the citizen to
enjoy his property, to enjoy quiet, to enjoy
unimpeded passaseway across public thor
oughfares. and to be protected against
danger must be sacrificed to the business
Of the railroads. That he declared. is not
reasonable, nor is 1t good law, and he eX-
pressed the belief that the Commissioners
will. after full Considera ton of the queS-
ton. grant the prayers of the petitioners.

RICHMOND, Va, November lit Is
stated on good authority that the str about
tho reapportionment Of the state by the
extra session of the legislature this winter
is an erroneous cry. As no United States
senator is elected until 1902 there is no ne
cessity for a reapportionment, and it Is a
matter that the regular session will attend
to.
II Is believed that the constitutional con-
vertion will create work for the legislature
