WALL STREET NEWS
Whole Market Weak and Low
Prices Recorded.
DEPRESSION, THEN REACTION
No News Announcements or DeveI-
OpmentS to Produce Weakness, Yet
Day-Southern Pacific Merger News
from Washington Not ging.

New York, Jan 17.-No material in
huence seemed TO be exerted in to-day's
stock market by the election news from
England, but the English stock market
was depressed on the prospects Of the
Liberals-Radieal party having a sufficient
majority to retain control of affairs in
the new Parliament and consols broke
sharply.
All this did not affect. however, that
quarter Of the London market devoted TO
American securities, and the course Of
prices there was governed up to the open
ing OF business here by the rallying move
ment that was IN progress on this side at
the end Of last week.
Recovery Is Slow.
On the local exchange this recovery
went on up 10 midday, although at a
somewhat slower pace than It travelled
on Saturday. Then. just as so many times
before in the recent past, the rise petered
out Plain signs began to be shown OF
a renewal OF liquidation in the St Paul,
Northern Pacific, Great Northern. Union
Pacific, and the other leading Western
railroad stocks.
The whole market soon became weak,
and although its downward course was
broken by feeble rallies, II fell before the
last hour Of business 10 the lowest prices
yet recorded on the present decline. An
upward reaction then occurred but at
the end Of the day the market was again
under the influence Of further liquida-
ton and speculative selling.
II was a matter that excited no small
comment that to-day's recurrence of
weakness was unaccompanied with any
news announcement or other development
that could be construed as OF such I'M
favorable character as 10 make a preteXt
for the fall.
Little Hope of Compromise.
It is true that advices from Washing
ton, considered to be OF semi-oficial sort,
were 10 the effect that there was no likeli-
hood that the government would grant
the request Of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific railroad companies 10
compromise the suit that has long been
under way. having for its object the dis
solution OF the merger Of the two COM
panies. But I'm few places in Wall street
has il been anticipated that the govern
ment would grant any such application
On the other hand, the market enjoyed
the benefit Of such favorable occurrence
as the decision Of the Supreme Court IN
the litigation between the Western Union
Telegraph Company and the state of
Kansas. in which the court held by q
large majority that the action of the
state in imposing a large tax upon the
right OF the company to do business in
Kansas was unconstitutional.
Furthermore. call money rates were
again easier to-day.

was so unlucky that he soon lost all
his money. Like other gamblers, he
tried to recover it, and he said to his
companions that if they would lend
him some money he would give them
as security one of his days. January
and March, who were naturally asso-

A NUMBER of our "business
men" (saloon keepers) found it
advisable, during the last week,
to cancel their subscription to
the Times. We are both sorry
and glad, sorry men can be SO
narrow minded, and glad they
are relieved of feeling it neces-
sary to support a paper whose
principle they fear will oppose,
not the men, but their business.
I want the people of Washburn
and vicinity to know that stand
opposed to no man as a man.
Every man is my brother, he
may be wandering brother; if
he is, he has my pity-he may be
a brother in trouble-if he is. he
has my sympathy; he may be a
brother who is struggling up
ward-if he is, he has my help.
These men seem to have jump
ed at the conclusion that intend
ed to .'sail" into them, which,
after all is a very natural con-
clusion, since their business is
the very opposite of mine. My
business is, through the Gospel
of Christ, and with His help, to
make men sober, kind and true;
theirs-the direct opposite.
However, I had no such intent
ions.
I believe that the news paper
should be medium of light, and
the only truth is light, hence [
feel it my duty to give, as far as
I am able, the people the truth.
God loves these men even as
He loves the sinners aud hates
the sin which ruins the man,
so do I love the man even though
I must oppose the business, and
these very men know that every
minister of Christ mast oppose
that which destroys character
and manhood, if he be not a
tenn porizer, a weakling or a
hypocrite.
l would gladly be friends with
the men though from the very
nature of the case I must ever
OPPOSE their business of making
drunkards.
During the last year there
have been several murder cases
in our Co.. which have caused
the tax payers, thousands of dol
lars.
What caused these men to
take the lives of their fellows?
Was it water which they obtained
from well, spring, or hydrant of
some water works? A pair of
boots or shoes from some firm
in our Co.? A suit of clothes
from some of our fine clothing
houses? Groceries which they
bought in some of our stores?
A cigar from some of our fac
tories? All industries of our
county, what was it? Investi-
gate!
Friends:-I am a minister of
the Gospel of Christ, I also am a
man.
My business is, in the pulpit

men to preach by my life.
