Alexandria, Va. Jan. 6-Two eolored

here this afternoon by officers Ferguson
and Roberts on suspicion Of stealing a
horse ard wagon. The men were locked
up at the station house where they viii
be held pending an investigation in
Washington. The horse and wagon. the
latter light top vehicle. were taken
possession Of by the police.
Johnson drove over from Washington
this afternoon. according to his state
ment, and picked up Wilson on the road
The former was apparently attempting
20 sell the property to two colored eiti-
zens of this city when the officers made
the arrest
Johnson said he would take So for the
horse ana wagon. At the station house
Johnson gave his address as 10 L street

Bank Of England more than fortnight
longer.
Money in the open market in London
IS lending at rate fully ! per cent be-
low the bank rate, and the better fnan-
cial prospect has caused a striking ad-
vance IN the price Of consOls and the
other leading Investment stocks. What
came to pass regarding time-money rates
here of course, was that as soon as the
necessity for making preparations for the
annual financial settlement was over de-
mands for time money for thirty and
sixty days use no longer became insist
ent, and borrowers generally became
unwilling to pay the high rates for time
funds nominally quoted.
Cash Gets Back to New York.
. tt Is wen known that it will take some
time, possibly a fortnight. for the money
to get back TO this center that was dis
bursed on January l. There is no doubt,
however. that it win return in due time,
and this fact. coupled with the large dis
bursements of government funds which
must take place during the month owing
to the heavy financial payments by the
government falling due al that time,
gives assurance, seemingly, that no such
high rates for time money as We're wit
messed last November and December viii
again soon be seen.
Ia Wall street speculative sentiment
opinion is more inclined To favor the
chances OF an advance in the industrial
stocks than in those Of the general run
of railway shares. 1t seems TO be com
monty thought that the railway stocks
are still selling on a rather high level con
sidering the money situation and that
railway companies in general are menaced
by certain special harassments for the
time being that industrial concerns do
not feel. The great industrial companies
are. on the other hand, profiting in an
extreme degree in the high market valua-
tons now obtaining for all leading COM
modities. 1t is pointed out that although
the net earnings of the United States
Steel Corporation for the last two quar-
ters are estimated NJ S7S.O0.000. as COM
pared with S66.000.G00 in the correspond
ing quarter of 1898. or an increase of Is

Of the corporation in the meantime has
advanced but little, while that Of the pre-

five strong, has been placed under arrest
for taking part in "A pyrotechnic display

ings at a New Years celebration.
Such a display is against the regula-

generally believed that the third class
will suffer the same penalty for the pres
