Minneapolis, Feb. 2S. One of the most Interesting things in connection with Lincoln's birthday was the story told by Mrs. K. Evans, of this city. Mrs. Evans, when a girl of ten years, was carried over Anderson creek in Indiana, by a tall, angular ferryman who rowed the clumsy flat-bottomed boat across the river. The man was Lincoln and he was then employed by a man named Taylor, whose home was on the bank of the little Indiana stream that separated the towns of Troy and Maxville. It was Lincoln's duty to row the ferryboat back and forth in the river at the call of those who wished to cross. There was another ferryman, a short, stout, irascible sort of a fellow, who inspired such terror in the hearts of the little girls whose mothers were sending them to Maxville on an errand, that they would hide in the Taylor house until the kindly Lincoln should return. Lincoln was then about twenty years old, overgrown and awkward, but his gintlemanly manners won the love of the children.

NEW YORK MARKETS New York, Feb., 28. Some stocks showed slight recoveries at the op ening from yesterday's depression, but there were a large number of declines. Supporting orders contended with selling orders for a time after the opening and the result was a highly feverish market until the bulls eventually got the upper hand. When the market was decisively turned upward it went with a rush before the impetus of heavy buying orders for both accounts. Prices advanced again but the demand subsided at the higher level. Selling ' was actively renewed. Most of the gains were wiped out. Heavy Demand for Harriman's. The usual dull period between 12 and 1 o'clock was curtailed somewhat by the heavy demand for the Harrinian stocks, which followed the announcement of the impending adjournment of the Interstate commerce commission hearing. All other stocks sympathized vigorously with the rise in Union Pacific. Spirited buying ceased again at 1 o'clock, and the market became quiet. Smelting, however, made up all but a small fraction of its earlier decline before the demand slackened. N1W YORK STOCK LIST. (By O. G. Murray's Special Wire.) New York, February 28 Open. Close. Amal.

The Iron Age today says: So far as the finished branches of the iron and steel industry are concerned business is developing in a very satisfactory manner. The mills are full of work and specifications are coming in steadily. During the first three weeks of the current month the new orders for one of the largest manufacturers have come in at a daily rate which Is practically equivalent to the full capacity of the plants. Even in a month which is usually quiet, as February is, this concern has not been gaining on Its extraordinary accumulation of orders. Shipments during the first half of February were, for obvious reasons, not quite up to the output of the mills. A sale of 50.000 tons of steel rails to the Manchurian road some weeks since has been followed by contracts for bridge work amounting' to S,60 tons. In the steel market the most interesting development is the, purchase by the leading interest of what tonnage was offered in the -market by a new, open hearth steel .plant , in the Buffalo district about to begin production.

The Interstate Commerce Commission Investigation of the Harriman Roads Comes to an Unexpected Close After a Short Session.

New York. Feb., 28. The interstate commerce comml.-tfsion investigation into the Harriman railroads was unexpectedly closed after a short session today. Comptroller Hilliard said Harriman's action in taking $12,440,000 entered on the old company's books as operating expenses, transferring these items to capital account and issuing bonds against them and then declaring a 30 per cent dividend with the money so raised was entirely new to his railroad experience. Then," asked. Mr.. Kellogg, "all this $12,440,000, as a matter of fact, except that part, if any, lost by previous stockholders, had been paid out of the income of the road, but in 1899 this twelve millions was simply taken and charged to costs of property and credited to capital account?" The witness admitted tliat the question was in substance correct. "The road was so impoverished by the various Harriman squeezing," said Hilliard," that it recently had to borrow $5,000,000 to meet its current obligations." When the commission resumed Its hearing in Washington in April, there will be a probing of this and other deals. CHICAGO MARKETS Chicago, Feb., 28. The wheat market today opened somewhat easier.
