STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Sept. S6.-Considerable
encouragement was to be derived from
the action of the general market in to-
days session. Considerable ifregularity
prevailed throughout the list during the
first three hours, but toward the close
industrial leaders enjoyed brisk rally,
which, In most instances, carried them
well up toward the highest quotations
of the day. The rails were also very
active, Lehigh Valley, st. Louis and San
Francisco, Missouri Pacific preferred
and Wabash preferred "A" scoring sub
stantial advances over the closing. fig
ures Of yesterday. Several new cuts In
gasoline prices announced by leading
distributors in eastern territory were for
the most part responsible for the feel
ing of uneasiness which prevailed in
the forenoon. The declaration Of mere
ly the regular dividend on American
Can did not bring out any liquidation
Of consequence and this issue closed at
1884. The. close was firm with Stew
art Warner scoring an advance of 2M
points during the last hour as the prin-
cipat feature Of interest. This advance
was said to be based on an expectation
of larger earnings during the final quar-
ter of this year. Stocks still seem to
be in strong hands and any adverse
news fails to shake the condolences of
those who are to large extent respon-
sible for the present trend, of prices

NEW YORK, Sept 3e.--The ordinary
vocabulary used in stock exchange,ffr-
cles does not, contain a word that de-
scribes the present market. 1t is not
a bull market; it is not bear market
and there is no uniformity in the mar
ket. Hardly a day but what~a few
stocks are up and some down. Every
few days a demand appears and seems
rather urgent and in a few days stocks
are sold In the same urgent way, neither
move extending very far. After q
months trading, the great majority OF
stocks do not show any appreciable
change in values. What Is the reason;
How long Is this condition to last
Questions more easily asked than an
swered. Fundamentals as we see them
are satisfactory and warrant and up

MAN DISCOVERED IN HOTEL
WITH THROAT CUT

Parkerbsurg, JAM, 21.--Phil Horn
brook prominent local citizsn who dis
appeared from his home yesterday,
was found this morning in local
hotel with his throat cut. He is ex-
pected to recover. Hornbrook, last
Friday said he was attacked on Fort
Boreman, a hin overlooking Parkers
burg, where he went to meet alleged
extortionists, who, he said, were de-
handing large sum of money from
him.
He applied for a room at the no.
tel Monday morning, but, after being
shown room on an upper floor he
left the hotel without registering.
Late in the evening he was discover
ed in the room, but as he is well
know to the proprietor of the house
he was not molested. On learning
of Horngrook's reported disappear
ance this morning, the hotel proprie-
tor reported the matter to the police
and the missing man was soon found
When the officers went to his room
they found the door locked from the
inside, but Hornbrook was able to adj
nit them despite evident weakness
from the loss of blood. When found,
gas was turned on in the room and
transom stuffed with paper to pre-
vet it escaping. The officers express
the belief that the case is one of at
tempted suicide.
Postoffice inspectors and United
States marshals and deputies were
secreted near the spot where Horn
brook had been directed to- meet the
blackmailers, but he claims he was
seized on his way up the hill and
drugged. He was found late that
evening.
