STOCKS MARKET FEATURES
AS Reviewed by the House of Prince
& Whitley.

AS Reviewed by the House of Prince
& Whitley.
New York, Oct 7.-To-days market
has been vacillating one; it has been
weak at times but generally recovered
easily from depressions. In the main
we dare say the sentiment was better
\ and was predicted upon the general
good trade conditions in this country.
London did not give much encour-
ngement this morning; to the contrary
all quotations were lower from there,
and yet the selling orders from Europe
were not large. The weakness of the
local traction stocks worked severely
against the rest of the list, be it the
industrials or he railroads. The entire
trading element appears to have adopt
ed not only an apparent bearish tone
but In many Instances seems to have
been confidently selling short and in
some quarters the short interest is con-
sidered as quite large. Bears are PIN
ming their faith on copper prices being
commercially too high and the general
belief Is that copper stocks will rule the
rmarket for a time All we ourselves
can learn is that no reduction in ac-
tual copper has bene made here and
that the home demand at ruling prices
is not bad Railroad earnings are
large. Actual trade in Union Pacific is
good.
Monetary conditions as yet are not
quite settled nor are they generally be-
fore November 1. Stocks have declined

BIG MAIN BREAKS.
cITy,s WATER SUPPLY CUT OFF AND
ALL PL MIS- CLOSED OWN.
A Leak I'm the Main pipe From the Water
works Leads TO serious state of
Anairs-The Break Hastily
Repaired.

Martinsburg need of an improved
water system, which was so strongly
emphaized ON Sunday afternoon
several months ago when there was q
serious break down in the machinery
at the Water Works was again inn
pressed upon the minds of til people
Friday. when the big ten inch main
which for twenty EIGHT years has
conveyed water to the consumers,
gave way to the strain and burst.
The big main burst at the corner
of John and Water streets, within a
few hundred feet of the Water Works.
Following the leak the towns entire
water supply was cut off. The fac
tories were compelled to close down,
citizens were compelled to do without
water and unit. after $50 O'Clock,
when the break was repaired, the
town was III darkness, there being no
water supply at the Eclectic Light
Plant with which to fill the great
boiler.
For several hours after the break
was discovered superintendent Sbaffer
laboied faithfully to get some water
mp town by another route. He eu-
deavored to send wster into the mann
section of the city through the small
Ter main which goes around through
North Matinbsburg but the gates at
the junction of the two mains would
not work and he couldn't send wa :
or by that route without sending it
out the broken pipe So the only
course left for him to follow was to
stop all the machinery until the leak
was repaired
The break was fixed early In the
night and at $50 O'Clock the water
was again turned on. The break
was caused by the main pipe. which
has been in constant use for twenty
eight years, giving away under the
heavy strain.
Superintendent Shaffer says if the
city continues to use the present sys-
tenn it will be necessary to put IN a
second main to connect with the
various pipes which connect Water
street and second main or-set of
pumps. If one main or one set Of
pumps break they will then have the
other ones TO fall back on without
causing any inconvenience to the
consumers.
II there is much more delay there
is liable to be a serious break which
will cause the manufacturing estab-
lishments and various works of the
