Uncertainty Was Shown General Business Showed Weakness the Past Week, States Henry Clews Blames Gas Decision.
New York, Jan. 18. A second week of uncertainty and weakness has just closed. The "usual January rise failed o materialize, 'and those who have jeen resisting natural tendencies in the hope of unloading surplus stocks have just met with their first sertoua disappointment. There is no doubt but that the gas decision marked the turning point of ; the market. That proved a blow to the bull interests from which they have been unable to recover; since compulsory liquidation followed- to an unexpected degree and
weak spots were disclosed where least
expected. The - undertone in conse
quence has undergone a complete
change and for the first time in many -weeks, if not months, there has been a cessation of bullish talk, the prevalent gossip now being of a bearish
character.-'
This change in tone of the market will be no surprise to readers of these advices. It has been persistently shown that the advance in stocks had
been excessive and out of all propor
tion to the improvement in general
business. It has been argued with
equal consistency that prices must re
turn to a more normal level in order
to conform to outside conditions.
Another unfavorable" feature has
been the excessive output of new
bond issues, far outrunning all possi
ble investment' requirements at this
time. It is estimated that fully $100,-
000,000 new issues have been offered since the end of 190$ and considerable
sums are still pending. Our railroads
have by no means satisfied their most urgent needs, and the prospects are that the Panama issue will be greatly increased if it proves necessary to construct a tide level canal, as new
seems probable. Moreover, the gov
ernment is still running heavily behind, which necessitates a withdrawal
of its funds from public depositories;
while the demands for municipal purposes in all parts of the country are rapidly increasing. Gold exports have
begun on a liberal scale, about $7,000,000 having already gone, and it is expected that the current movement

serves.
Owing, however, to the inactive con
dition of business our monetary re
sources are easily sufficient to meet all probable' demands, especially as
the banks hold an ample surplus re
serve and the influx from the inter
ior promises to continue for some
time to come. Gold shipments thus
far have gone almost entirely to Paris
whose bankers have been making
strenuous efforts to pile up the prec
ious metal at that point. London also
seems anxious to strengthen its, gold supply, which probably explains the
advance in the bank rate to 3 per cent. Next week a portion of the long
expected Russian loan will probably
be announced. The outlook for stocks is not very flattering; ot merely because of the decided change in sentiment; but also because prices are still too high to attract the investor, who is even less inclined to buy stocks now than before the decline began. Of course as prices fall there will be more or less buying to cover the short interest which is increasing and is now the chief support. This will keep the market in a state of healthy flux, stimulating occasional rallies and preventing too
rapid a fall. But no general rise can be anticipated until a further decline has taken place, or until there is more improvement in outside conditions. General business continues quiet and is likely to so remain until the tariff question is settled and the sap begins to rise in spring. There is, moreover,
an undercurrent of uneasiness in the
"Street" over present movements in the railroad world. The huge operations projected by some of our great railroad magnates, attractive, as they
may seem from their point of view, do
not inspire confidence in conservative financial circles, where such transac
tions excite both distrust and jealous
ly. Nor are they likely to be welcomed in political circles, where they are
sure to be regarded as inimical to public welfare. It would be well for these gentlemen to pause in their proceedings if they wi3h to avoid a fresh outbreak of hostile public opinion, which until very they were only too anxious to placate. If they do not halt and consider consequences, they will surely invite more rigid government regu
lation than is now exercised. " Then
we shall have . fresh outcry about
confiscatory legislation, etc.; and who will be responsible for such an upris-

of the man in black, who makes it a
practice to visit the city on Sunday?"
The police would like to meet the
gentleman for he carries with him a satchel which contains something
which the police would like to get. In
fact he is believed to be a walking
blind tiger."
The man was in the city yesterday
and this was not his first visit, ror
he has been a visitor several times,
always on Sundays. His vocation seems to be so profitable that he has not gone to greener pastures.

Yesterday he operated in West

the police and the saloonlsts. Before
this he, it is understood, has worked
in every locality.
True to his color he calls himself
Mr. Black of Indianapolis. He Is very well dressed. He is a rather tall man,
just a little above the average and
carries a dark brown suit case.
Method is Not Unique.
His manner of doing business is not
in the least unioue. In general he
seems able to tell the difference be
tween a person desiring booze and one
who does not. The police say that he
chooses his customers with much care
and this has been the cause of his not
being apprehended.
When the street is clear with the
exoentinn of a lone pedestrian, who
looks as though he is thirsty, the man in black, introducing himself as Mr.
Black of Indianapolis, accosts the pedestrian. He may ask the direction
or whether the local person knows
where "so and so" lives, or some oth
er question which is altogether prop
er for a stranger tp ask. Brings up Lid Question.
After a conversation has been start
ed the man asks how the liquor fight in this county is progressing and this
leadB to conversation regarding the tight condition of the city's Sunday lid. It depends on how the expected customer speaks about tilting the lid as to whether the man asks "do you want a drink?" An affirmative is all that is required. In a quiet nook the suit case is opened and its contents displayed. Instead of clothes and other things usually carried in a suit
'case by a visitor, tne case is nnea
with Dint and half pint bottles of
whisky. Some say it is pretty good and others that it is rather cheap stuff. With a'Varning not to betray him, the mysterious stranger in black slips along the street until another customer is met. It is said that he rarely fails to leave the city without disposing of his entire stock of goods.

MII1E0 III CASE
Counsel for the Anti-Saloon
League Proffered Services in Gay Case.
HE HAD CENSURED JURIES.
CONSEQUENTLY PROSECUTOR LADD AND DEPUTY JESSUP COULD NOT 8EE WHERE HE COULD BE OF ASSISTANCE.
There is a report going the rounds that Attorney Minto for the anti-saloon forces of the state, with headquarters at Indianapolis, had requested to be allowed to assist in the prosecution of George Gay for violating the Sunday closing laws and that the county local option forces, especially the ministers favored his coming. But the report goes further to the effect thta the attorneys for the state refused to be associated with Mr. Minton in the prosecution. It will be remembered that on Sunday, November 29, World's .Temperance Sunday, at the East Main street Friends' church,-Mr. Minton was one of the , speakers and he berated the Wayne county juries. The Jury-in the first- Gay trial which had disagreed shortly before that time was severely censured and called blockheads and a few other choice and selected names. Why the attorneys for the state. Including Charles Ladd. prosecuting attorney, and Wilfred Jessup who prosecuted Gay in his previous trial, refused to be associated with Mr. Minton in the impending trial fs not known, but according to report their action was the result of what Minton had said about Wayne county juries.
