Nr.w YoitK > Iec. 8. The stock market had
brief spurts of activity today but Rcnernlly
spcnklng speculation ruled dull nnd presents
: i fenturo of Interest. , The coursu of prices
wns decidedly Irregular , but the net results of
the day's operations were merely fractional
changes In n majority of Instances. It was re
ported that u new pool had commenced ope
rations and were taking advantage of
the largo short Interest to ndvnnco
thu pi leu. Distilling and Cattlefccdlng
opened at 08 nnd closed at 07thu
oMiomcs of the day. There was a good deal of
manipulation of the shares which mystified
the traders and caused some of Iho thnld ones
to part with their stock , It Is said that the
directors at a meeting to be held on Sntmdtiy
will determine the rate of dividends to be paid
for Iho current qinuler. Thegenetnl list was
Inllnenced by thustiengtliotstcrlingoxchango
and the talk about nn Inlluv of gold either on
Saturday or by the steamers sailing enily next
week. The market closed weak. The sales
ngtfiegnted 109,704 listed nnd 61,530 unlisted.
Hallway bonds weiu llrm , Thesnlesamounted
to lGOH,000.
The Post snys : Sterling exchange wns nd
vnnced ngnln today , but the change In rates
did not seem to clear up the situation In the
mnrkut. The stnto of affairs Is very singular.
Monday's leilncllon In thu demand into was
iiH'ilhi'd to the easing oil' in London discounts !
so that since the London money into has not
advanced since that day , It may bo assumed
that thu actual tiade and secutlty movement
has become moio aihersu to us ; something
which eottnlnly was not expected. On thu
other hand Kuiope's demand for gold has
shown considerably less urgent thnn It was n ,
month ago. It Is believed In London that
Hussla's needs have been ptetty much sup
plied nnd the exceptionally strong position of
thu Hank of Kngland suggests that the Aus-
tilan demand has been nlieady provided for.
The declining market latu for money In Lon
don and thu leported i eduction In the nngllsh
price for bar gold point in the sumo direction.

\VII.T.IAMSIIUUO , ICj' . , Dee. 8. Several per
sons suspected of conplieit5r in the assault
and murder of Mildred Bryant were ar
rested and placed in jail hero. A mob took
two negroes nnd ono white man out , carried
them to the woods nnd strung them up ,
pleading piteously for life and protesting
their innocence. Tlley strung them up to n
tree till nearly dead und then let them down.
Still they protested their innocence. Again
they were hauled up and again let down and
carried back to the Jail. Tile white man and
ouc negro will die.

But perhaps you won't bellovoit. Then
there's another reason for trying it. Show
