The movement in the Chicago, Rock
island and Pacific collateral trust As
vas apparently based simply upon the
TACT that the financial calenda:~i men
TONED that the report now being pre-
pared nv experts on the financial condi-
ZION Of the railway company was one OF
me events which might be looked for.
The idea that the report will make Il
favorable showing may simply be in
ferences drawn from the swiftness OF the
recovery The bonds opened at -. and
u is possible that the fact that the next
prce was y higher may have been re
sponslble for the rise. At any rate there
was evidence OF "A rush by traders to
buy, aud the price went to 80 IN very
short tmc when it was announced that
'he report would he delayed for another
fortnight the price reacted and closed
unchanged for the day. The outstanding
feature ~ this movement was the evil
d"noe OF a pronounced scarcity OF the
bonds /, took only ffty-six OF the bonds
TO send the price mp 2 points. IL Is true
That people who have held their bonds
at through the long decline are prob
ably not Of the type to sell at the
present level without cause. but there
Is alsp theory that the floating supply
Of the bonds has been greatly reduced by
deposits with the committee having the
interests Of the bondholders In charge. II
thiH q the case "A swift response OF the
market Ia buying Is understandable.

The weakness OF Great Northern pre-
ferred was conspicuous Ever since the
company announced the issue OF SIS. 00O,-
900 OF new stock last February Great
Northern preferred has declined more or
less steadily. At yesterdays low level
The stock had lost 1914 points from the
February price and was only points
above the extreme low OF last June. a
fall OF that extent seems to require other
explanation than the influence of the usual
amount Of selling against the rights
which always occurs when new stock is
sold. The issue is not large one and
earnings easily cover the additional divi-
dtnd requirements. Moreover. the stock
holders OF the Great Northern are Of an
unusually substantial and wealthy class.
MANY suggestions have been made to &C.
count for the development OF weakness in
this quarter but none of them appears
convincing. Increased competition from
Canadian roads in the future as a result
Of the recent rate decision in that country.
POSSIBLE disturbance to the ra llroad sltua-
ton in the Northwest by the Panama
Canal and dissolution OF the joint con-
'rol OF the Burlington have all been men
toned as possible influences.

IN any downward movement in the stock
market what are known as the good
stocks escape the depressing Influences

como weak last because they are infu-

Barricaded Negroes Fired On Posse
and Some Deserted.

Jesup, Ca, December 2S.-A negro
named Mack, who is accused of hav-
ing attempted assault upon white
woman in the Hortense district, was
driven into cabin last night, where
he and his father and two other
negroes barricaded themselves. As
the officers approached the negroes
opened fire. Shots were exchanged.
The sheriff's aides in the chase were
citizens. and as the shooting con-
t!nued some of these are alleged to
have deserted. Sheriff Price held his
g1ound with those who remained, and
after the firing ceased rushed upon
the cabin. 1t was found that the ne
gcoes had escaped through a rear
window
Dogs were obtained and the posse
continued the hunt, one negro being
placed under arrest. Mack has rot
been found and the posse was still in
hot pursuit at late hour tonight.
