Apprehension Felt

II was reported At this Office last
evening that some apprehension IA
fell BY the young friends Of Norman
II. Anstenson, the well known photo
grapher with Frank Woodheld, from
the fact that he has not been seen
since last Thursday. He was then
talking about going over the river
with a sailor friend, but whether he
went, Or where he went, Is a mystery
that will bear unrayeiling There Is
no grave fears felt for bis safety but
an uneasiness that he should not have
announced his purposes II some def
mite way.

illumination of Instability of
Stocks at High Level.

| New York Jan. 16.-The growing
instability OF the stock market at the
advanced level of prices, which has
! been in evidence during all this week,
eliminated today IN reaction of some
violence. The downward course of
prices was unaccompanied by any
news pointing to a change from con

The early movement of prices was
erratic and feverish and strengthened
suspicion Of manipulative measures to
sustain prices. These were apparent.

return for months was cut to less than
half that shown for November last
year, while the charges for interest,

with 100000 surplus last year.
Compilation of returns of seventy
four railroads for November reporting
previous to today show a decline in
net return of 13,49 per cent from that
of November in the preceding year
Gross earnings of thirty-one railroads
