NEW. YORK. September 27.-There was
a very feverish two hours OF trading on
the Stock Exchange to-day, which seem
ed principally due 10 a contest between
opposing speculative interests. The pool
operations which were responsible Tor
yesterdays sharp upward movements
weer again in evidence at the opening
but the high prices made attracted re-
newed heavy liquidation. induced by the
lecuperauon which was expected yester-
day.
There was heavy break in prices In
progress when the bank statement sp-
peared. showing a surplus reserve re-es-
tabushed of I3,236,625. The bull operators
thereupon turned upon their opponents
and marked up prices half TO one point
at jump. so that the level of the mar
szs4 vas sent back TO near last nights
level and IN some cases above. This
was followed by another relapse which
carried some stocks lower than before,
md made the closing feverish and IN
settled.
Louisville suffered TO the extent of II
owing 20 the uncertainty whether the MI
nority stockholders are to be allowed TO
share in the terms which it is reported
will be offered for control by the Atlantic
Coast Line syndicate.
ST. Paul suffered an extreme loss Of
over four points on account of denials
by officials OF published reports of a pro-
posed stock subscription right
The dominant influence was the money
situation The increase Of S1.790700 In
cash reserves of the banks was a total
surprise IN view of an indicated decrease
of about Si.Q00000 on the other hand.
the loan contraction of Sl3.S52,600 was not
as large as had been looked for. The
source Of the cash increase was an I'M
explained mystery. A sharp fractional
recovery in the sterling exchange market,
unusual for Saturday. carried rates
well away from the gold import point
The bank statement failed to convince
spectators that the necessity for further
loan contraction has entirely passed.

MIR. srREETER SHOT A CRACKER
Mayor Powell Says That Every body Who Cele.
brates Christmas Before Time, Pays for it

Mr.. F. w. Streeks paid $3.50 yesterday
morning because he fired off giant can
non cracker on Wilmington street Satur-
day night.
Mayor Powell believes that dire evils
attend the firing crackers and blowing of
horns before Christmas. Among the dan
gers enumerated were frightening women
and men, disturbing slurnber, annoying
the inhabitants, soaring horses, causing
runaways, burning up houses and putting
out eyes, and then a city ordinance says:
ANY person who shall shoot off any
gun or other fire arm or shoot any other
fire works or any combination of fire
works or gun powder in any street or
footway within fifty yards of any street
or within 200 yards of any habitation,
within the city, or blow any steam whis-
tie unnecessarily shall be fined $50 or
thirty days on the roads"
And so Mr.. Streeks paid $3.50 for two
minutes fun and Mayor Powell says that
if anybody else tries that kind of fun 1t
may cost them even more.

At this the Mayor seemed satisfied, and
turning to the defendant said: Belle,
you are an old offender and / am going
to send you out to the county farm,
where you can work off some of that
superflous strength. I'll give you thirty
days to do it in and if that don't cure
you of licking little girls, why I'll give
you thirty more. AS for you Angelina,
am going to let you go this time on ac-
count OF your age but remember about
that fellow who got in trouble once over
holding some garments while some one
else was being stoned, and If you come
up here again, your pious panhandle of

help you a bit.
And Angelina blushed a deep purple
and promised.

| PREPARING FOR WAR.
Colombia is Now Quietly Get
ting Ready to Invade
Nicaragua.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., Dec. 15.-Whatever
doubt existed in Nicaragua as to the in
tention of Colombia to carry out her
threat to attack her as soon as her own
revolutionary movement had been quell-
ed, has been removed by the receipt of
advices of a semi official character here
that the Colombian army officers at
Panama and Colon are steadily but quiet
ly making ready for an invasion of
Nicaragua.
1t is stated that there is a double rea-
son for the attack. In the first place
Colombia wishes to take forcible posses
sion OF the Mosquito strip, which would
give control of both routes available for
an Isthmian canal, and SO enable her to
make her own terms. and second, she
must find congenial employment for the
Colombian soldiers.

The First National Bank claim was
originally so, 49642, including two ac-
cepted drafts amounting to $8,01O.50. The
referee struck these out and the bank
appealed. The referee is affirmed. The
claim of 81, 1852 is allowed, being drafts
paid for the North State Lumber Company
by the bank. The other accepted drafts
not allowed appear to have been as
signed to other parties.
The judgment then discusses the dis

Attention is called in the judgment to
various errors of the referee. but these
being deemed as not affecting any sub

to remand the cause.
Then the Judgment allows the payment

was filed, in addition to the $3.50 due by
law to the referee, but sits down fatty
