MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Jan. 22.-Foreign selling
was more of a factor in today's irreg-
ular market than at any time since the
re-opening Of the London Stock Ex-
change. With today's offerings, liqui-
dation from abroad. chiefly from Lon
don, was estimated at no less than
10000 shares for the week. This COM
prised in large part such low priced
railway issues as Erie and Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Common and Pre-
ferred. with an admixture of Atchison,
the Pacifics, Coppers and United
States Steel.
The market showed some uneven
ness at the outset. but soon went to
its highest Of the day and the current
movement. Selling had no appreciable
effect until the early afternoon, when,
aided by the aggressive tactics of the
bears, prices fell all around. Lowest
prices were made in the final dealings.
at which time virtually all gains were
obliterated, with especial weakness in
Reading and several other leaders.
Foreign exchange reflected the Eu-
ropean liquidation.
Money rates made a new low range
for almost year, four to six months
loans being made at 81 per cent,
while over-year money was offered
on prime collateral at per cent. This
was in keeping with a further reduc-
ton of outstanding emergency cur
rency and forecasts Of tomorrow's
bank statement which indicated an
other cash gain.
An unexpected development of the
day was the decision of the special
master in the West Virginia debt"
case holding West Virginiar liable for
large share of Virginia debt at the
time Virginia seeded from the Union.
Virginia certificates rose sharply on
the news, but later lost their gain.
Missouri Pacific was again heavy.
but no less active. In the absence of
any definite announcement this was
ascribed to buying by the proposed
proxy committee. Bonds also increased
in value with higher prices for many
issues. Total sales, Par value, were
s4,24,OGO Government bonds were I'M
changed on call.

HEART ATTACK FATAL
 70 MAN IN SWIMMING
Heroic Attempt at Rescue Made By Harry Vile at
 East Haddam.

Despite the efforts of local men to save him, Louis Parkinson of 3,51e Quincy street, Brooklyn, N. Y., lost his life in the Connecticut river yes- terday near East Haddam. Parkin- son was twenty-nine years old and is survived by his wife and three small children.
 Harry Vile, employed by Spring & Buckley, Inc, of Church street made a heroic attempt to save the Brooklyn man and almost succeeded in getting him out of the water It is probable that death would have not been cheated even if Vile had been suc- cessful as it was stated later by physician that death was due to heart failure, not drowning.
 Parkinson, Harry Vile and his father, Frank Vile of Berlin, a fore man at Humason & Beckley's, as well as two other men started out from the Tylervnle camp grounds where sessions of the Life and Advent Union are being held, intending to go swimming. They landed on an island near Deep river where all with the exception of the elder Vile donned bathing suits and dived into the water A short time late Mr. Vile noticed Parkinson appeared to be in distress and threw him rope which missed it's mark. Young Vile swam towards Parkinson and almost succeeded in bringing him ashore but during the struggle Parkinson went to the bot tom.
 The alarm was given at the camp grounds and at East Haddam and the body was later recovered with the aid of orannling irons The victim $ wife was prostrate The body will be taken to Brooklyn for burial.

MT. and Mrs. Frank H. Johnston of West Main stret have received d letter from their son and daughter, Douglass and Miss Agnes, posted at St. Louis in which they graphically describe the terrible conditions exist ing there and along the Mississippi river resulting from the recent flods.
 MT. and Miss Johnston sailed down the Mississippi from Davenport, Iowa, and arrived in St. Louis Saturday. While they say it was not danger ous on the river nevertheless they state that at many points it was most exciting. All along the banks they could see homes devastated and at various points the river was so swollen by the rains that it resem bled big lake.
 Arriving at St. Louis they state that conditions there are very bad as result of the storms and parts of the city are flooded. From St. Louis the local people will go to Chicago, Cleve- land, Pittsburgh and thence home, ar irving here in about ten days.
