YESTERDAl,s sY0CA MARKET
Operations Exciuslvsly in Professlouai
 Hands.


 Hands.
 New York, Feb. 1.-The freQuenters of. the stock exchange changed their po- sition in the market to-day and sold stocks in contrast to the buying of yes terday. The extreme dullness of the market and the poignant complaints of all commission houses of lack of suffi- cient business to pay office expenses warrant the assumption that operations are exclusively in professional hands. While various news items of the day were offered to explain the varying movements of prices, it is clear that the movements represent the ideas of pro- fessional traders as to the change in values resulting from occurrences rath- CT than actual transactions in liquida- tion or in investment. In to-days market the influence which received most attention and discussion was the rate war on export grain rates, especial- ly that phase of it that concerns the lake traffic from Buffalo. As the dis pute is wholly in regard to the making of contracts on business yet to some the acrimony displayed is the more remark able Fears of a coming depression in railroad traffic and in general business are thus inspired The firmness with which the opposing contentious are maintained on the comparatively unim- portant matter of the differential on ex- port grain rates from Buffalo to Phila- del0hia and Baltimore as against New York cause heed to be paid to threats that retaliation and reprisals may car- ry the war to freight of other classifica- tions and to other destinations. So much has been done of late years to neutraIize the control of the old rate disturbed in trunk line territory that the involve- ment of the two principal lines gives a decided chill to speculative sentiment. Some effect on stocks was also produced 1 by whispers that the heavy drop in cot 1 ton and consequent speculative losses were going to result in financial | troubles. These rumors were without veriffcation. The difficulties of some of the insurance companies involved in the Baltimore fire awakened attention to the possible aftermath of that calam- ity. Germany contributed a story that the Russian government was taking a Fstiff attitude toward the British govern | fnent regarding the expedition into 1 Thibet. and foreign stock markets seemed to be moved by news of an AL hanian revolt. Whatever share these various incidents may have had in the days decline. it was obvious that many operators were prompted mainly by the consideration that yesterdays attempt to lift prices had proved abortive so that movement downwards was most available
 The bond market was very dull and heavy. Total sales par value, S1, FAC, ,Ooo United States bonds were unchanged on call.

flow with thrilling scenes, exciting sit nations and well wrought up climaxes, into which enough of the sensational has been woven to satisfy the most ex- acting lover Of sensational melodrama. There is not an idle moment, and inter est and excitement steadily grows from the prologue, in which not a word is spoken, the entire action being panto- mine-a daring experiment, but which has proved to be one of the hits of the, play-to the den of the 'child slaves showing the disposal of their victims by means of the terrible death chair: then to the thrilling climax of the third act, which shows the complete destruction of an abandoned grain elevator by the Harbor Police Patrol in which score of rapid fire Hotchkiss guns are used, and the rescue of several people by a daring side through the gralin chutes into the rushing waters of the great Hudson river and then the climax of climaxes-the sensational rescue of a little girl by the human ladder" from the Underground Railroad, through a man-hole in the street above, which in- variabiy has the effect of sending the audience away tingling with excitement and a strong desire to do it all over again. The various roles will be inter- preted by a superb company of thirty players, among whom are William Ved- der as the boy detective, Harry Barton who will play Butts, the office boy; Elinor Wescott as Junie an up-to-date reporter, Arthur Evans Claire, Fannie Argyle, Nellie Marcos, Frank Opper- man, Harry Hammill.

H. w. Savage's magnificent produc- tion of "The Prince of Pilsen" will be presented at the Hyperion tonight.
 Iver Anderson is still playing his role of the dashing naval lieutenant, and has that famous duet "The Message of the Violet with Miss Lou Harlow.
 Victor Morley, a clever English char acter comedian and a nephew of John Morley, famous Liberal leader of the House of Commons, plays the asinine sprig of English nobility, Arthur, Lord Somerset The actor frankly ayers that he is caricaturing some of his titled friends on the other side.
 Jeannette Bageard, dainty and chic as ever. has a number of new dances which she introduces while playing the role of Sidonie. the French maid. In Sherman Wade Miss Bageard has an excellent foil.
 There is so much in ssThe Prince of Pilsen'' to charm all classes of play-go- CTS that it is a difficult matter to par ticularize. First and foremost is the i. remarkable catchiness of the music; secondly, the wit and satire of the book; thirdly, the elaborate manner in which it has been mounted by Henry w. Saw age, and fourthly, the well balanced cast which he has selected to produce this last and best work of Frank Pixley and Gustav Luders.

many people in this vicinity, who are
recent Corners, do NOT realize what
the Republicans had to contend with
in times past, and SO for their benefit,
and at the request. OF one of our val
ued subscribers, we reproduce an edi-
toral which appeared in the Fairmont

in the fall of 1892. The County Com
missioner referred to was Mr.. 3. ..

tecmed ctiZens:
The Recount.
The County Court is now engaged
in the recount Of the votes cast for
the office Of County Commissioner.
The Court has gone over the returns
and has ascertained the result for
every officer on the ticket except
Commissioner and the result is stated
III our tabulated statement found iii
another column. We have tried to
make this table correct, and it will
be found useful for future reference.
The result on County Commissioner
adding the vote Mr.. Fleming received
on both the Republican and Prohibit
tion ticket gives him d majority of
ten on the face OF the returns.
THIS MAJORITY is SO SMALL
THAT 1T CAN EASILY BE OVER
COME eY = RECOUNT. The work
of counting OF the votes is very slow,
and it will require several days TO
complete it. 1t is understood that Mr.
r. A. Fleming, who was defeated on
the face of the returns for the Office
Of Justice OF the Peace of this dis
trict, will demand a recount OF the
votes for that office. There has been
no demand for any recount for any
other office, and doubtless there will
be none, for the lnajcrities are SO
large that they could not be affected
Gy 4 recount unless some gross irreg-
tllarity was found and nothing of that
sort is charged and none exists. The
recount for commissioner will take
at least all of this weell.-Fairrnon

DAVIS PERcEiVEs 81 MGERs

The Democrat tie cand for Vice
Preside has begun to hedge on I'll {.
tariff ton. 81. Davis has not
gone to the length of%Judge Parkers
dealing with the. sound money issue
but, understanding the vital Interest
OF West Virginia in the protective poi
icy, he mas endeayored to construe out
of the St. Louis platform its radical
ism in the declaration that the oni--
purpose OF the tariff should he the
support OF the Federal government III
all its integrity and virility. There
is further an acknowledgment OF the
danger ito the cause Of tariff reform
itself Of abrupt and revolutionary re-
versal OF policy but no concession OF
the peril that such reversal would
mean to the capital and labor of the
United States employed in manufsc-
turing
Mr.. Davis takes great amount Of
credit to himself for having the word
tonly' stricken out OF the phrase
tariff for revenue only He is en-
titled TO the glory Of that achieve
ment, but he would not have brought
it to public notice if he mad NOT
thought that an apology is due for the
platform as it was adopted The word
only" is not of supreme weight in
comparison with the open avowal thai
the doctrine of protection Of native
industries is to be abandoned whom
ever the Dmocratic party is strong
enough to eliminate it. Mr.. Davis
says that he has not changed his opi1l-
ions since he was known in the Sen
ate as a moderate protecrionist. and
he denies that the Democracy is a
free trade party, but the record of the
ST. Louis convention cannot be blown
away by one mans breath. even if
he does stand for the second place on
the fredericksburg Times.

RRYAN'S OPINION OF PARKER.

(Fronl Bryan's prepared statement at
Lincoln, Neb., July -, 19O4.)
Il have nothing to take back. /
have nothing to withdraw of the
things that | have said against the
methods pursued to advance his
tPerkers) candidacy. 1t was a plain
and deliberate attempt to deceive the
party. The New York platform was
vague and meaningless, and purpose
ly so, because the advocates OF Judge
Parker were trying to secure votes
from among the people who would
have opposed his views had they
known them. If he had sent to the
Albany convention the telegram that
he sent to the ST. Louis convention
he would have had very few instruct
ed delegates from the South, and no
possible chance for the nomination.
But he and his managers adroitly
and purposelv concealed his position
until the delegates had been corralled
and the nomination assured. Then
his friends attempted to secure gold
plank. which was overwhelmingly de
feated in the committee. After the
party had rejoiced over the harmony
secured by the omission OF the ques-
ton, and after he had secured the
nomination. he injected his views
upon the subject at a time when he
could not be taken from the ticket
without great decentralization. The
nomination was secured. therefore,

There are enough Methodists in this
country to defeat Judge Parker. They
cannot consistently take a man into
full fellowship until he has served six
months probation. Judge Parker,
along with thousands of other Demo
Gratis, has been aiding and abettin;,
the free silver cause for the past
eight years. and at the st. Louis con-
vention gave the first evidence of L
change of heart That took place in
July and his six months will not be
up by election time in November. We
feel sorry for the Judge, but he ought
to have spoken sooner.
