Look out for Tramps.

A number of people in this locality
have been troubled with tramps consid-
erably lately and it is we'll to be watch
ing for them. In some cases people have
found screens in their windows cut out,
windows broken, cows MIXED and other
disagreeable things have been done. In
others threats have been made. The
easiest way to dispose of these "Willies"
is to send them on their way without a
square meal and if everyone would do
this they would soon hike to more con.
venient neighborhoods.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 30-After ruling dull
and somewhat irregular during the
greater part of the day, the stock mar
ket in the later trading developed a
pronounced reactionary tendency.
There was no special feature of in
terest in the early dealings. The pro-
fessional element tried to make capital
out of the reported setback in the
Venezuelan negotiations. but the
greater ease and abundance of money
and some moderately sharp advances
in a few specialties tended to offset
the effect of the traders selling. Lib
eral offerings by the banks carried the
cash rate to the lowest level in some
time. According to trustworthy re-
ports, fully 10000, 900 was loaned at 80
per cent, and perhaps half that sum
at per cent. 1t was stated that the
greater part of this money was put out
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, which recently made a large and
advantageous loan in this market.
This, however, was denied, and il was
elsewhere reported that money which
the trust companies had been lending
had been returned and bank money
loaned at the lower figure. The rate
for demand money fell to 215 per cent.
later in the day.
The noteworthy feature of the fore
noon was the sharp advance in St.
Louis and San Francisco on reports of

Baxter & Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York. Jan. 30-The market at
the start showed considerable strength,
although dealings were restricted. The
unfavorable phase of Venezuelan af-
fairs had no effect on sentiment for
the reason that call money broke
sharply under extensive offerings by
leading banks. Affected by this atti-
tude prices hardened. In the after
noon sentiment was somewhat disturb
ed by sudden attack upon local trac-
ton issues. The market had barely
recovered from this when rumors were
circulated that there were acute labor
troubles developing on the Union Pa
cific system. Nothing official could be
obtained during the business hours,
either here or at the West, with re-
gard to the sensational reports of la
Dor troubles. The impression here in
Union Pacific circles was that no
strike was probable. The rumors, how
ever, affected Union Pacific 49, and
preferred over 2 points. Southern Pa
cific lost rs in sympathy, and Frisco
scored extreme advance of ~ early,
but reacted IN, and closed at net gain
of IA. Erie stocks were attacked in
the last hour, and put prices a point
under higher figures. Missouri Pacific
lost l per cent. The general Decline
however, did not exceed fractional
limits. The market closed weak under
the influences of the uneasiness inspir-
ed by the unconfirmed reports of
strike probabilities

Print Cloth Market

Fall River, Mass, Jan. 30.-The sales
in the print cloth market for the week
amounted to about 3O0, 900 pieces, 125, 900
of which were regulars sold at the ad-
vanced price of 3-16 cents, and the
balance narrow odds and wide goods.
Regulars advanced 1-16c during the
week. Prices for all other classes of
wide and narrow looms have advanced
in proportion to those of regulars.
Manufacturers are slow in meeting the
pressing demands that are being re-
ceived daily, and it is stated on good
authority that they are refusing long
contracts at existing prices. Higher
prices for cotton and coal continue to
be the principal reasons which are
causing the manufacturers to contract
only for a limited period.
