Of the Stock Market Letter of J. L. Me- Lean & Co. New York, Jan. 27-Dullness prevail ed again to-day and the same class of buying was apparent, as was also the entire absence of liquidation, except by scattering traders. As to the status of the Northern Securities litigation, an- other week of uncertainty is in store, and, whatever the decision may be, it should have little effect on the mar ket.
 Financial conditions are gradually shaping for the better. African min- ing boom is attracting the full atten- tion of European spectators, who are disposed to sell short American stocks at every opportunity and are undoubt edly largely short of our stocks, which they must buy back later, and it stands to reason that they will De made to do so at higher prices.
 As long as the insiders hold most of the stocks, and the public is practically out of the market, there is but little danger of any serious declines; the bet ter class of securities can be safely bought on every reaction But until the market broadens materially it might be policy to take one or two points profit, repurchasing again on the next reaction. Amalgamated Copper showed a great deal of strength near the close to-day, and it looks as though the copper war is about over.
 Chicago: The boom fairly dropped out of the oat market and the demor- alization in the oat pit brought about liquidation in both wheat and corn, but considerable support appeared in the latter grains and for the time being it looks as though the break is about over.

that company is the thing really await ed for the next general movement in the stock market. There is also im- portance attached to the definite shap- ing of the governments financial oper- ations, which is given additional inn portance by the growth of the surplus in the revenues, the decrease in the available supply of bonds for redemp- ton and the pressure to retire bank note circulation. Legislation for the reduction of the revenues on the one side or for special government expen- ditures on the other are studied with great attention in Wall street, owing to their bearing on the market supply of money. The formulating of de- mands by coal miners has been a cause of some depression The stiffening of the discount rate in London and the advance in the price of gold may be a symptom of renewed demand for gold from that quarter as the Bank of Eng land is obviously striving to make it's rate effective in the market in prepa- ration for the coming government loan. Of the special movements in to- days market which gave it it's whole character, that In Amalgamated Cop per was most conspicuous. Raw cop per was advanced for the first time since the attempt to maintain the price was abandoned by the Amalga- mated company. The gain which re- suited to-day for Amalgamated Copper was 1-2 points. The advance in the price of lead gave strength to the Ma tional Lead stocks and American Smelling. The United States Steel stocks were lethargic. There was a desultory speculation in Sugar with final net gain of @ point. Notable gains in Chicago and Eastern Illinois, the New York, Chicago and St. Louis stocks, Cleveland, C., c. and St. Louis and Rutland preferred were without explanation.

THE STOCK MARK ET.
No Relief From the Semi Stagnant Con-
 dittons of Speculation.

| New York, Jan. 27.-There was no re- lief from the semi-stagnant condition of | speculation in stocks to-day. Profess sional operators continued their at I ten1pts to find the market by persist
 ently testing it, both by sales and pur- chases, but they found the great pow CTS in the financial world absolutely ouiescent, and awaiting some turn of events. Opinions vary considerably as to the cause or causes of the etagna- tion of demand for stocks, but the fact is indisputable, and no news develop ment seems to change it. The stiffness of money rates, which persisted for
 some time after the turn of the year has yielded entirely. The ordinary borrower is able to obtain money on
 call on very easy terms. If the great
 railroad interests do not borrow money for gigantic operations in the stock
 market. as they did last year, it must
 be because they see some warning con
 dition which is not reflected in the &C.,
 tual rates for money. Returns of gross
 earnings of railroads, which began to
 come for the third week in January
 show gratifying increases over last
 years high level. To-day's break in
 the grain markets, while due to a con-
 dition of over-speculation and attribut-
 ed ostensibly to the large movement
 from other countries, warrants pre-
 sumption of promising conditions for
 our own winter wheat crop, upon which
 much hinges. But those considerations
 were powerless to animate the stock
 market, There was a good deal of talk amongst small traders incident to the argument in the supreme court on the admission of suit against the North ern Securities company, but no inteli- gent opinion in the street expected any definite step to be accomplished to-day towards a decision of that question. There is very general agreement, however, that the ultimate decision of | this question of the legal standing of

JUDGE HALL CONFIRMS 1T.
CONSOLIDATED WILL BUILD THE
 WEST CHESHIIsE CONNECTION.
Faster and More Frequent Service Ia Promised Between New Haven aad Waterbury EI cctrIcity Wnn Not be Used.

Used
 President John M. Hall, of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road, in an interview yesterday said that his company would at once build connection at West Cheshire between the Waterbury, Middletown and Meri- Northampton division. Over this con- neetion will be run frequent and rapid trains between New Haven and Water bury. This is a new proposition in Connecticut railroad matters and will afford an outlet for a quarter of q mil lion people in the manufacturing val leys about Waterbury to reach New Haven and the seashore in fifty min utes.
 Tn connection with the new scheme of putting on fast trains Judge Hall said: We propose to give the people an out let from Waterbury to New Haven. They are both in the same county. Both have court houses and both have large populations, and while we have a con- nection between the two places by the way of Derby, we think we can give a quicker and more direct line by making a connection at West Cheshire on the Northampton division. We can prob ably bring people from Waterbury to New Haven in something less than an hour by means of the short connection which is made possible by our owner ship of the Middletown, Meriden and Waterbury road and the Northampton division.
 There is no immediate intention of using electricity on this road, and no necessity in case we make the time from Waterbury to New Haven in one- third of the time or less than any elec- tric road that can be built will make it. The proposition is to run from the Dub- lin street station in Waterbury direct to New Haven.
 "The plan will be carried out at an early date so as to have the road in op eration early in the warm season. The Meriden road is of standard gauge, and all there will be necessary to complete will be a connection of some 1,600 feet at West Cheshire. Trains can be run with a frequency up to any reasonable demand.
 "We believe it will prove an accom- mediation to both Waterbury and New Haven people, and that it will be sur prise to many people in both cities to find how delightful a country it is be- tween the points on this line. think it will be a connection that will be much | used"

A WOMAN cHokER.
Villain at Saginaw the Perpetrator OF
Dastardly Acts.


Saginaw Mich, Nov. 25.-Two
young women were seized Saturday
evening on the street by an unknown
man and severely choked. One young
woman, employed in the Pere Mar
quette dining-room, at the Potter
street station, was walking on Astor
street about 1880 Saturday evening
when she was seized tightly around
The neck by stranger and choked al
most into insensibility. She could not
cry out and did not have sufficient
strength to loosen the iron grip around
her neck. She fell to the ground, when
the villain released his grasp and
quickly disappeared. He offered no
violence except that of choking. The
young woman had on thick collar
and believes this saved her from being
choked to death. The man appeared
to have the grip of a wise.
Later in the evening young WON
an on North Sixth street had a similar
experience, except that, being more
, muscular, she was able to free herself
/ from the clutches of the choker.
! So far as known, he did not utter
syllable, his only object being to choke
his victims into insensibility and Their
leave them.

ladies being annoyed are in circula
