to write up lynching In that quarter,
although there had not been an Illegal

eastern scribe in good part and even
"jollied" him into believing that for
downright lawlcssness the community
wherein lie WAS sojourning was about
the most conspicuous portion of the
United States.

these lynchings:" guilelessly asked the
Bostonlan. THAT Is, don't you ever
lynch the wrong man?"

WITH A WEAK OPENING.
FIRMER CLOSE.

NEW YORK. Nov. l2.-Market todey
was tWo-sided. as it has been for sew
eral days. There was a rush on selling
orders at the opening, and the fact that
there was an immediate response to

the advance there failed to ceuse any
betterment here. rather discouraged
some holders and increased the offer
ings. Commission houses were the sell
ers. large blocks with frequent thou
, sand-share lots being thrown over for
the public and for the account Of room
traders in the outside cities.
This does not indicate that the ad-
vance is over. As a matter of fact the
indications at this time are largely in
favor OF a further advance, that will
make gains UP to this time look very
moderate.
The street was disappointed because
OF the fact that no extra distribution
in connection with the Union Pacific
dividend was announced, but those who
have faith Ia Hartman believe that the
delay is only temporary.
