Trade in corn was active the greater

the pressure was reduced. On the 9TH

A prominent business man having in
innate connections with local railroad
affairs, and therefore in a position to
know what he is talking about, stated
yesterday that 1t might be expected
that in the 9 future the announce
ment would be made of the retirement
of President John X. Ccwen from the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and that
former Vice President Thomas King
would succeed him. He also confirmed
the fact that Vice President F. F. I'm
derwood. the present general manager.
had accepted the Presidency of the
Erie, and said the change would prob
ably take place in a very short time.
Most important, however. was the
statement that General Superintendent
Thomas Fitzgerald. OF the B. & O.. next
in the line of succession. would be pro-
NOTED to be general manager, having
very strong backing for advancement.
This announcement will be hailed with
joy by Wheeling people and West yir-
ginians in general. Mr.. Fitzgerald is
a West virginian, born and raised in
Marion county, and he has worked his
way to pre-eminence in the direction
of railroad affairs by those lea aris-
ing from ability, diligence, force of
character, comprehensive knowledge of
details, watchfulness over and regard
for the interests of others. and a deter
mination to succeed. These are the
essentials to success, and having them,
Mr.. Fitzgerald Is about to step up
higher, to the great qualification of his
countless friends. He has ever been
the consistent friend of Wheeling and
has invariably used his influence to
advance local interests. His advent in
to a higher Office and a wider sphere

state ono weak.
Railroads bonds strong.
The movement of to-day's stock mar
ket was confusing and irregular to the
last degree. The dealings were highly
professional, and there seemed to be
a contest waging between a bull fol-
lowing and a bear following, each side
commanding the services of some of
the oldest and most skillful profession
al operators in the street. While such
was the current belief among room
traders and the outside speculative con-
tingent, whether the bulls were all
really bulls or the bears really desired
to see lower prices, it would be very
difficult to say. 4 market Of such a
character is distinguished by the wari-
ness and the skillful ruses employed
by the operators. For instance. tx
p%eriance shows that nothing will cause
such eager support by large buying
orders for the account Of the friends
Of a strike as the knowledge of a
bear raid against it. This gave rise
to a suspicion that some large opera
tors long of stocks were using we'll
known bear brokers to sell out and
realize profits, in order to give the i'm
preston that the selling was for special
account. The market opened with the
influence of last nights upward rush
still manifest, but the selling to take
profits caused a decline to set in al
most Immediately, which forced prices
very generally below last nights level.
In Burlington & Northern Pacific the
profit taking was especially heavy,
owing to the meagre details which
accompanied the allegations that an
agreement had been reached for the
absorption OF Burlington by the Hill
Morgan interests in the northwest. The
announcement of an export of gold
to France also had a depressing infu-
ence. The announcement gave ground
for the usual wrangle among exchange
experts as to whether the movement
was a special n or a regular ex-
change operation. The general feel
ing is that it is a prelude to a regular
outward movement of gold. Bankers
protested to have ne fear that such
q movement will affect the money
market unfavorably.
The feeling of depression was prac-
tically overcome during the hrst hour.
