MOVK.MIl.vrs OF STOCKS AM ) I1OM19 -\Vltnt riimiKP" Occur Arc CntiNeil lij 1'rofeniiloniil O'torntlotiN , NEW YORK. Dec. l.-Tho Mock mnrke today was a narrow and colorless affair Professional operations were rctponsihli J for whatever movement took place am changes on this account were not wel maintained owing to the desire of the pro ferslonnls to close up their contracts in once. The organized buying of the trunli lines and some other stocks which was It evidence In the earlier part of the weel < seemed to be entirely discontinued , nni : these stocks reacted on pront-taklng. Now York Central sold with the right to sub scribe to the new stock Irene deducted fron the price. There were sales of these rights nt from 4'j , to 6'j , . Union Paclllo and Northern - ern Pacific showed same Ptrength and then was an attempt to advance onio ot the Iron nnd Bteel stocks , which proved only partly ' successful. Some of the specialties'puffereil from bear pressure , notably Sugar , Brook lyn Transit and the other New fork trao- lion stocks and the tobacco stocks. ( ondltlon ? In the money market were re sponsible for the dullness In the stock mar ket. The advance In the Hank of England rate from 5 Io 6 per cent was not unex pected , but was a conllrmallon of n disa greeable anticipation from the stock mar ket point of view. It Is necepled ac nnllll- eallon of the Hank of England's policy tr hold control of the open money market with the purpose of keeping up rates , so us to attract funds to txmdon for the future needs of that market. Including the coming annual settlements nml the requirements of the government for the South African war expenditures' . Sterling exchange both here and In Purls hardened In response to the conditions In London , where , however , the money rate reacted slightly from yesterday's level. The rate for money In New York did not rlsn above 6 per cent. Preliminary estimate- ) make It evident that tomorrow's bank rtate- ment will relied a still further Improvement In the condition of the bank ? , but the gain In cash resources will conje wholly from KUbtroasury operations , on which account thp banks have gained J2.9TO.OOO. Including bond redemptions nnd receipts on account of gold deposited at Interior points. On the Interior money movement by ex press , on the other hand , the banks have suslnlned n net loss of over $200.000. Re ceipts from the Interior have fallen off over $300.000 , while the fihlpments to the Interior have Increased nearly $250.000. The net gain nn last week's movement had aroused hopes thaf the long expected reflux ot funds to this center hud ut last set In , but this Wtek's figures show that the interior de mand Is still unsatisfied. The bond market was quiet and prices were shaded In the majority of Issues. Total Mies , par value , $1,340.0(0. United States bonds were unchanged In the bid prices. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says : "The markets here were slightly busier today than they have been recently , but the tone was Ir regular. Toward the end It became harder an an nncontirinod rumor that Klmberle.v had been relieved. Consols * moved up ' ,4. ( Vmerlc-ans opened hard , then waited for New York.

Cows and heifers were In good demapd nt' tlrm prices and the limited offerings changed 'hands ' , early In the morning. The cow market has been gaining in strength during the last few days and the market on that kind of cattle is now 15fi20c higher than last week. Common and Inferior kinds have not shown as much advance as the more desirable kinds. Stockers ) and feeders were very quiet to day , owing to the fact that it was so near Wie end of the week and values were weak. Speculators were not expecting very much country demand for the balance of the week and hence were not very eager buy ers. Representatlva sales : BEEF STEERS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

A high treitlo bridge more than a quarter of a mlle long , supporting the single track of the Nickel Plato railroad , spans the valley of Clrand river , cast of Palnwllle. O. 'Jim bridge Is a little wider limn the. dlstarco between thf rails , reports the Cleveland Leader , and the ties arc placed eight or ten Inches apart , the "meo be tween being open to the river below. A young man who crossed recently had a thrilling experience on the. bridge. Ho had Jtmt passed the center when a fast train rounded the curve boh'nd him. As the en" glno whistled ho quickened ) iU pace. With every step the train watt riiPhlng nearer and there was not n m.imont to lose. Onct the young man stumbled and termed about to fall , but quickly regained his balance and liurr cd on. As he reached the place for which he hud started the train was close behind ami IKhad' just I 'pie to swing hlmpolf over the Hide of the bridge as the locomotive thundered by The ends of the ties were sllpnery wltli srease ( roni dripping axle-boxes , and hln fet Dipped wide an ho left the trade.

At last the train passed and the young man was able to climb t-lowly to the track above. Unnerved by the trying experience , he lay tar n moment stretched itcross the rails , nnd thru rising to hs ; feet , with danelifd face and unsteady limbs , made his way to llrm ground. KIT/HI till I.I'JU'S All HOW WOl'M ) . AII Incident ' of lllx I'nrUclpntlon In lnillr.il PlulHn In TCMIS. It has often been noticed that whenever Oencrnl Kllzhugh Lo'r visits the White House he stops to have a chat with Captain Loelllor , who stands guard at the presi dent's private ollloe nnd the cabinet room. This Is generally nttrlbul'-.l to Lee's pleas ant way of treating everyone , but It has another origin. * Before the civil war , relates the Boston Trni'scrlpl. Lee was a lleutir.nnt In the old Sec-olid cavalry , afterward reorganised as the Flfili. Loelller was a troopqr In this reclment and later non-commissioned olllcor. His company was oiii of the two which were engaged In a sharp light with the Klowa and Co'mnnche ' Indians ! n the cimmnron potinlry ! n Texas In IK9. The Irdlans had taken refime In a narrow ealion which could not bo otitoml only from ono end an.l there hail thrown up a formication of logs , from behind which they poured n he' , lire Into the troops. The character of the canon was suoh that the horTB of the cavalry were nseloys and they were left outside- , the nun advancing on foot. Only a few of the Indians had tlrearmp. the rest using bow and nrrows. llnd the Indians been n well armed as they have b on In latpr wars the loss of the whltei would have been very large ; as It was only four or live soldlcis were killed , though the Indian loss amounted to nearlllfty. ; . A charge WHS made upon Hie log fort and Lei' , wOio was a d ishliis olllccr and a wonderful favorite with his men , was the llrst ono to svale the breastwork. The arrow * -.vcro whlzzln ? all about him and OINV struck him In the lireasit. Inlllctlns a very ugly wound. As be f ( II the confusion was so great about him that the arrow was pulled out of his flesh and thrown to the ground imong other arrows , whole nnd broken , so that no one could tell afterward whether the head had mnalncd In th wound or boon drawn out with the stick. It was imiiosflblc , therefore , to say how serlou-Ov 1-e Jin it been hurt and he was carried at onci to the re r , where n litter was improvised of saplings-- and boughs. Hn was iald 11:1011 : this , which was swung be tween two horses , and thus bo was carried back to the wngon train , a distance of moro than 150 mllcf tliroujili a roucli country. Probing Kiowod that the head of the arrow- bad rortunntrJy been drawn out and In due time good nursing put the lieutenant on hs feet again. This In an incident In Leo's career which Is apparently kn. > wn to very few. It Is of Interest , also , that thi old Second cavalry had for Its colonel Albert Sidney Johmiton ' and for Itr lieutenant colonel Robert E. Leo and that llni-doo of "tactics" fame and Oeorge. H. Thomas worn ( wo of Ita majors. The captain of the company in which Kltz- hugh ] < ee was llrst lieutenant was Klrby Smith. Loetller served with rredlt In the union army during the civil war , was given his Whltc-i House detail by President Grant and wn- appointed by President McKlnley as "military storekeeper1' In the regular army with the rank of captain. f urrcLn SAM'S Cough .Medicine . , f Like Undo Sam's Country , I * The Best In the World PREVENTS GROUP 20e at all Drug Storoa.
