STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 14.-Today's unsteady
and spotty stock market seemed to repre-
sent nothing more than the efforts Of pro-
fessional traders to find purchasers for
shares. The constant fluctuations over a
narrow range were testimony to the
difficulty they found. The volume OF
transactions fell of to little more than
three-quarters OF a million shares, or
about one-half Of the business OF last
movement reached its elimination. OF
today's dealings no less than 200 600 shares
were OF Erie. The continued activity
in that stock is subject of the greatest
interest in Wall Street at present and
surmise exhausts itself to account for il.
The failure of Rock Island to move with
it today descredited previous rumors that
outlet of the Rock Island system. The
other coalers were inclined to navement
with the Fries today and there was a
disposition to attach importance to tn.
formation OF the so-called Eastern Sc
cureties company. as probably concerned
with further developments in the con-
solidation OF the anthracite Industry.
Manhattan was strong for a time. sup
posedly on account OF the coming opera
ton Of the lease TO the Interborough
Transit company, but the stock reacted
with some violence 10 point below last
night. Western Union was held by the
injunction against the removal OF its
wires by the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany. Sugar was first strong and then
weak, after the report OF the annual
meeting of stockholders showed that
higher dividends were not to be ex-
pected at present. An incident of the day
We're sales of Canadian Southern and
Michigan Central, the former at a decline
of ~ and the latter at a decline of 4s,4
from the last proceeding sale some time
ago. Aside from these special move
nlents the market was dull and sluggish
throughout and offered little of interest.
The fact that realization sales met ad-
vances in all cases served to discourage
the professional element and led TO the
sharp break in the afternoon. which car
ried the average level of prices we'll below
last year. This was particular evident
in Rock Island and the large part attri-
huted to the Rock Island interests in the
recent speculation for the rise gave the
movement in this stock special influence
on the whole list. The close was steady
at some rally after the break. The failure
OF the market to advance was considered
the more significant in view of some re-
lief from the depressing factors. Call
money was appreciably easier and some
time loans maturing today were renewed
by the largest bank in the city at 3 per
cent Money continues to flow into the
local banks. both from the sub-treasury
and from the interior. This seemed TO
afford some encouragement TO stock oper-
ators during the morning. but did not pre-
vent the later reaction.

HOG MARKET
TEN LOWER
Buyers Here Took All the
Hogs Offered.
TOP PRICE WAS $685.
Cattle Receipts Fairly Liberal
and Market Unchanged.

HEAVY receipts of hogs in the big
packing house centers yesterday caused
lower prices. The decline here was hard
Ay as great as in some other markets.
In some cases Of common hogs sales were
made ten cents lower, but the best heavy
weights were not to exceed nickel lower.
The buyers did not get the full benefit
OF the decline because they took the late
arrivals at weights az time of arrival
and at the previous days prices. In spite
Of this fact, however the last car load
Of hogs sold last night brought the top
price, s6.35. They We're better than any
thing sold earlier IN the day. The buy
ers remained on the market until after
dark and when they left expressed a VII
iingness to take all the hogs this morn
ing that came in during the night at the
previous days prices.

HERD LAW
Some changes are necessary in the
herd law now in force in the territory.
The rights OF homesteaders in western
Oklahoma have been violated. Their
crops have been destroyed by range
cattle. and great wrong has been. and
is being perpetrated upon settlers who
are trying 70 build homes in Day county
and other portions OF western Oklahoma.
1T is recommended that a herd law be
enacted which twill apply TO all portions
OF the territory alike
FORT SUPPLY RESERVATION.
This reservation. situated in Wood

act of July j. 1854 with an exception
reserying 1.760. % acres to be used by the

be passed authorizing such action on

The governor recommends ample provi-

QUARANTINE LAWS.
There can be but one solution OF the
quarantine problem. and that is an alb

tie coming into Oklahoma for period
OF time sufficient to free the territory
completely from infection. This cannot
be done with the open season regula-
ton in force at any time during the

Cattle.

The cattle supply yesterday was about
up TO expectations, because nobody was
expecting Heavy receipts. 1t has come
about that buyers do not expect more
than one to two hundred cattle a day.
There are buyers for all the cattle that
come and it is generally conceded that
the packers are paying good prices for
fair TO good butcher cows and heifers.

LOW-Callaghan.

Nature bestowed one of her most per-
feet autumnal days, yesterday a. ~, for
the pretty wedding ceremony which oc-
Cured at the farm home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Francis Low, situated two miles from
town, at which time their only daughter,
Miss Emily W., was given In marriage to
Mr.. Francis S. II. Calaghan of Water
vile, in the presence of a select few
family and personal friends and rele-
tives.
The ceremony occurred in the parlor,
which was made additionally attractive
for the occasion with ferns and wild au-
tumn flowers. The groom, attended by
his best man, Eugene Conner, took the
assigned place promptly at the hour of
II O'Clock, the bride, handsomely gowned
in crepe de shine over white silk, carry
ing bouquet of bridal roses, follow
where she was met by the bridesmaid,
Miss Harriet Pollard of Pawtucket, II.
l., cousin, prettily gowned IN silk mus
lin. The impressive Episcopal service
with two rings was used and Rev. A. A.
Callaghan of Oxford, a brother of the
groom, officiated.
At the close of the service after con-
CALCULATIONS, a bountiful wedding break
fast was served and a delightful hour
passed, at which time the friends wend-
ed their way homeward, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Callaghan took carriage for the
railroad station, departing on wedding
journey to Boston and other cities amid
shower of rice thrown by the loving
hands of friends. Upon their return
they will make their home in Watervile.
Many beautiful gifts received by the
couple gave evidence of their popularity
and the esteem in which they are held
by large circle, the gifts being supple
mented by the addition of substantial
purse of money from the parents of the
bride.
The guests from out of town, beside
the ones above mentioned, include Mrs.
NJ. Pauline Wall of Denver, Colo, e. F.
Miller of Watervile, and Miss Beatrice
Caldwell of Oxford.

Municipal politics are red hot in New
York city and fearfnlly mixed. Muir
ply, the Tammany chieftain, forced
through the nomination of George B.
Mcclellan for mayor and captured two
Citizens Union and Republican nomi-
nees, associates on the ticket with Low,
they having agreed to accept the Tam
many nomination. This detection upset
the Fusion ticket and new names had to
be substituted for Grout and Fornes.
President Cutting of the Citizens Union
has replied to the shutting, evasive let
ter OF Mr.. Grout, by letter which, al
though not long, Is a masterpiece OF
reasonable and pungent political lltera-
lure. The. so-called Greater Democracy
has been rent in twain, the better part
clinging to Low and refusing to follow
the commercial Sheehsn back into Tam
many. The Brooklyn regular Democ-
'sey has coldly ratified the nomination
Of Mcclellan, but would say nothing OF
Grout and Fornes. The Brooklyn Citi-
zen, the organ of the Brooklyn Democ-
fscy, Is out for the reelection of Mayor
Low. Thus is everything at odds, and
uncertainty as to the outcome of the
November election in the great city is
'upreme.

Union Veterans.

Gen. Patrick Hayes of Togus, the
commander of the Maine division of the
Union Veterans Union with his in,
spector general, w. S. Oakman, made
Abraham Lincoln Command, No. 10,
SkowLegan, an official visit, Tuesday
evening, the 9th instant. An unusually
large number of the Skowhegan and
Norridgewock comrades were in atten-
dance, also two from Athens, Comrades
Brown and Bucknam.
The visit to the Skowhegan Command
completed official calls by the Maine
Commander upon all the different COM
mands In the State and he is able to re.
port the conditions of the order within
his jurisdiction to the State Encamp-
ment that will come off the 18th and
10th instants at Auburn. He reported
the order as holding its own during the
past year, which for an order comprs &
of veterans of a war of forty years ago,
is doing remarkably well.
After a business meeting and routine
proceedings of the command, including
remarks by the visiting officials for tho
good of the order, a camp fire was held
with an oyster supper served under the
direction of Comrade II. P. Cannon.
The Skowhegan Command is likely to
be we'll represented at the State En-
campmenc. The delegation will leave
here on the noon train of Wednesday,
October 18th.
