WHINE S OF The HORROR.

Mounted Policeman Stuckey OF the
Fourth precinct was an eyewitness Of
the horror. He saw the train approach
ing and said that the trolley car had
projected about four feet over the track
when It was struck.
The train which caused the accident
was the Delaware and Passaic express,
which started from Summit at s:o2 There
is some question as to whether both
crossing gates were down when the car
and train approached the crossing at the

WILLIAM Cary Sanger Tells Of the Refrac-

embodied in a report just issued from
the government printing office. which it
is thought will become a text book for
the military student.

Spanish American war has much which
Americans must read with pain" and,

The sight was a sickening one when
the crash came. Arms. legs and other
parts OF the bodies OF the unfortunate
children were scattered in every direction
and the snow for a great distance around
was made blood red.
One mutilated body WAS carried two
blocks on the pilot of the engine. The
uninjured passengers carried the injured
children to nearby places Of temporary
refuge. The trolley car could not be
stopped although the motorman appeared
TO make frantic efforts to do so. George
Gould was the conductor Of the trolley

He said: TITS the custom for trolley

stops to run a head and see II the track

ed. The fact of the resumption of
deals" and large financial projects in
the railroad world was itself an in
element to speculation.
The declining course of the money
market protected the speculation from
anxiety on account of the money sit
uation. The announcement late In the
day that the bankers protective pool
which subscribed $50, 000, 900 in the mid
die of December for the protection of
the money market against emergency,
had been dissolved, added to the feel
ing of security and led to the final out
break of buoyancy in which the mar
ket closed. New York Central and
Baltimore and Ohio shared to some
extent in the strength due to the
Reading report. OF other special
movements that in the corn grangers
was attributed to the growth of the
corn movement, although there was
some evidence of organized market
support in Missouri Pacific and Rock
Island The speculation was contin-
ued in Sugar, which is usual upon the
approach of a dividend period for that
stock, but there was proft-tahng in

baxter & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Jan. 8.-The week in cot
ton is drawing to a close with decided
ly disappointing influence in bear cir
cles. The movement fails to pick up,
as confidently expected. 1t was be-
lieved that last years insight figures
would be equalled, but this now APP
pears doubtful. The weather has been
clear, and still cotton fails to appear
as it should with improved conditions.
The leading Wall street operator con-
tinues to caution the trade against
supporting cotton at this time, but
since it is known that the basis for
his bearish conclusions existed sixty
days ago, when he was talking quite
bullish, his outbursts fail to make any
impression on the market. The SIM
pie fact is that cotton is not coming
to market in the quantity expected,
and the mere prediction that it will
come later on will not do to influence
opinion.
The market gained soc points the
first hour, when receipts were not like
ly to exceed $4,000 bales against 81, 900
last year, and the Houston estimate
was quite small. Later on the feeling
was somewhat nervous, and very lit
tie selling depressed the market. Ca
bles were steady at about 3 points net
decline. Decrease was shown in the
British exports of yarns and cloths for
the month.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. S.-To-day's stock
market was languid and somewhat ir-
regular during the early part of the
session, but it was reused into great
animation and general strength by the
reports of the deal for divided control
of Reading between the Pennsylvania
and the Vanderbilt interests,
The coalers led the movement, but
the Readings themselves were but
moderately affected beyond a full re-
covery from some earlier depression.
Pennsylvania also failed to share in
the strength awakened by the re-
ports. The Erie's took the lead and
scored advances of between 2h and
31a points on enormous dealings. Con-
else details were lacking of the deal,
but it was taken for granted that i'm
portant steps had been taken towards
further centralizing the control of the
anthracite traffic. Reports have long
been current Of large buying of the
Readings for Baltimore and Ohio ac-
count and the dominance of the Nor
gan influence in Reading made 1t evil
dent that the usual observance of COM
ity between the Pennsylvania and New
York Central powers would be follow

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Jan. S.-The cotton mar

prices point higher to points lower,

the disappointing Liverpool cables.
which, due to come to points lower
reported a decline of points, The
early business resulted in a general
advance of to Z points, but from this
point the market reacted to a level
not far from last nights figures. The
decline was largely the result of a
rather Indifferent public demand and
also moderate move for profits. The
crowd was generally long and some
fears were expressed of another raid
on the market similar to that of the
preceding day. This, however, proved
groundless, and Wall street was at no
time prominent on either side of the
account. The chief feature of to-day's
situation was the comparative volume
OF exports as compared with receipts.
Inc former amounted to about IS, 900
bales, or practically double the latter.
Stocks at interior towns have lost thus
far this week $1,000 bales, and to-day's
interior movement showed receipts of
but about 11,000 bales net. foreshad-
owing a bullish weekend statement

Towards the close there was some
buying in anticipation of the expected
strength of to-morrow's statistical
showing and while the market was
somewhat irregular, values showed an
upward tendency on active months

points lower to points higher Sales
were 100000 bales.

THE RICE MARKET.

Advices from the South are of a
supl orting character. On the Atlantic
coast the limited supply is slowly mar
keted; the trade being, as it were, put
on weekly rations to make the crou
go as far as possible and incidentally
to exact the highest prices. In New
Orleans the market is very strong
supplies are limited but as some OF
the mills are resuming work after the
holiday recess, more plentiful offerings
may be expected. In Southwest Louis
lana and Texas, market remains some
what taut: full prices have been re-
fused for duplicate of goodly lines re-

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, Jan. Sour market open
ed with sales of January at S.64c, and
after selling at S.5Sc, ruled at S65c at
/ p. M. Foreign advices are lower
but without effect upon the bullish
temper of the trade, who feel the
strong statistical position will finally
make itself felt abroad. On this belief
ninety-nine of every hundred cotton
men are long, and it is surprising that
the market does not advance under
the unanimity of opinion. Advices of
picking are received with more or less
credulity as the movement does not in
crease. On the opening a good demand
showed itself, which was believed to
be an effort to cover, and the local
trade quickly absorbed all the offer
ings. Outside speculation has been
exceedingly limited, but the trade be-
lieve it will be attracted ere long The
short interest seems non-existent. With
such a steady close an advance is look
ed for in Liverpool tomorrow The
spot market was quiet and unchanged.
