WATERBURY, 'FoRTY-NINER.
Mr.. Byington Went Round the Horn in
Quest of California Gold.


Quest of California Gold.
I'm the spring of 1849," says the Wa.
terbury American, AN organization Of
Connecticut and Massachusetts mer
was formed in New Haven, named the
Brothers Mining and Trading compa-
ny, it's purpose being to visit the then
newly discovered gold fields of Califor-
mia in search of fortunes for it's men,
bers. Henry w. Byington of Water
bury, then twenty years old, was di-
rector and leading figure in the enter
prise. The company purchased the
bark J. Wallis, Jr., and left New Ha-
ven in her on May 26, Rounding the
Horn they landed in San Francisco
January l, 1850.
Mr.. Byington located in San Francis
co, where he entered the office of the
county surveyor. He remained in that
city for twenty-five years. In 1875 he
removed with his family to Santa Rosa,
where he has since resided. In 1888 he
was elected mayor of Santa Rosa, be-
ing the first republican to fill thatoffice.
He was a delegate from the First Cali
fornia congressional district to the ma
tional convention which nominated
Benjamin Harrison for the presidency.
He was later appointed by General
Harrison revenue collector for the
northern district of California, a posi-
ton which he filled with honor and dis

YEs1AkDAY's S1oCk MAKKEa,
Considerable Pressure of Liquidation
A Vigorous Resistance.

] a vigorous Resistance,
New York, Jan. 26,-There was con-
siderable pressure of liquidation to-day
for a time, but a vigorous resistance
was opposed to the depression and ag-
gressive buying orders appeared, which
started prices upward again with some
buoyancy. The advance was not pur-
sued to any great extent and the mar
ket became rather strangely quiet and
neglected, without any marked point
of weakness appearing to discourage
the advance.
The forecast of the weeks currency
movement proved more favorable than
had been expected ON the day-to day
transactions of the sub treasury. The
gain by the banks from that source
had amounted to only $2,OOO00O up to
last night, and this was rather more
than offset by the takings of gold for
export, The regular express movement
with the interior, however, has been
largely in favor of New York, estimates
of the receipts on balance at this point
pointing to a gain of upwards of Sc, OOO-
600.
The supposition from the heavy liqui-
dalton in the stock market known to
have taken place would be that the vol
ume of loans has been contracted. The
announcement that the next issue of
the New York city bonds would be 4
per cents. instead of S12 per cents. in
order to secure their sale within the
legal minimum of par was regarded
with interest. Since the new city char
ter no bonds have been issued for less
than 81 per cent, but the price of the
securities has been declining from
above 10S to below par. The high rates
for money and the speculative demand
for securities are given as the cause of
the declining tendency in fixed interest
bearing securities, Of which this Is an
example.
Disappointment over the decision of
the constitutionality of the stock trans
fer tax had some part in the decline in
activity of the later market. The early
selling pressure centered upon Reading,
VIZ NAAPNPPOA wv AOAluillOlI VI THAT
stock had sympathetic effect on the
rest of the list. The strength of Union
Pacific, st. Paul, Amalgamated Copper
and the United States Steel stocks
made an effective leadership for the |
recovery in the market, and was sup
plemented by the active demand for the
Pennsylvania group and number of !
the Morgan railroads. Less effect was |
by the wider advances in a
number of stocks of more obscure
type
The strength of Colorado Fuel and of
Denver and Rio Grande was connected |
with the plans for Pacific coast extern
'ions for the Gould system and st. Paul
md the additional requirements thus
indicated for steel products, The mar
1et was not effectually revived in the
after part of the day, although there
vas some further show of strength.
The closing was rather heavy
