Bock Island the Worst: Sufferer With
a Drop of 3 3-4-The Final Changes
Show More Advances Than Losses
Money Easy-A. More Bouyant Feel
ins' in London.
Nkw York, Nov. 30. —The stock market
to-day has been rather quiet and without
any of the excitement which has marked
trading in stocks for the oast two weeks,
whiia the movements of prices were quite
irregular, and several changes of temper
occurred, which resulted in leaving the list
irregularly changed from last night’s
limres. Early London advices showed an
improving feeling there, and the
governors of the Bank of Eng
land at their regular weekly
meeting allowed the minimum rate of dis
count to remain unchanged instead of ad*
vancing it to 7 per cent., as had been an
ticipated. This caused, a demand at the
opening here to cover shorts, and the first
prices were all i p from )% to % per cent.,
while Missouri Pacific was l*i higher and
>’ew England V/&
bears turn the scale.
The upward movemeut lacked vim, how
ever, aud, while a few stacks scored further
slight gains, the upward movement soon
came to a bait. Some of the traders who had
bought at the low prices prevalent yester
day realized their profits, aud the Pears
felt the market with some short sales,
which soon turned the current, aud
the market sagged away. Extreme
dullness marked the trading f r
the remainder of the forenoon, but after
that time the bears agai 1 became aggress
ive, taking advantage of the limited mar
ket, as usual, to put out another
line of shorts. The attack this
time was directed squarely at the Gran
gers, and Rock Island in particular.
A rumor that the next dividend would be
tiassed was freely circulated, and undoubt
edly had some influence, and coming at the
same time with the announcement of the
failure of Barker Bros, in Philadelphia
helped materially to depress the stocks of
the gene.al list. The failure was of special
influence upon Reading, and that stock
j kept pact with the Grangers in the down
ward movement as long as it lasted.
EXTENT OF THE DROP.
The drop amounted to from 1 to 3 per
cent, in Grangers, aud fractional amounts
I in the rest of the list, with the exception
I noted, but Hock Island was knocked down
I from til to (xl)- 4 , and even the declaration of
I the regular dividends upon Northern Pacific
I preferred aud Burlington were of no effect
I it checking the downward movement. The
I bears withdrew their forces toward the de-
I livery hour, but the market displayed no
I recuperative power, although there was
I evidence of good buying, especially in Mis
■ souri Pacific and Union Pacific.
I MONEY EASY.
I Money was cany throughout the day, aud
■ silver showed some improvement, and re
■ sistance in the general list was stubborn,
I having the effect of maintaining most of
I the list outride of the Grangers above last
I night's figures, and the final changes this
I evening show a majority of advances. The
I close, however, was heavy and dull at the
I lowest prices of the day. Missouri Pacific
I is the only stock showing any material
■ improvement, and is 1% per cent, higher,
I while Hock Island is down and Jersey
I Central, which again touched 100, 1 per
I per cent, lower. The “ales of listed stocks

i' 611 'lav's 1 were ready to
■ ork such crowds gath-
f r# ri about the doors as would be entirely
unmanageable, so word was sent to the
nearest police station and reserves were at
once ordered out with Capt McCullough at
their bead. After a good deal of trouble
tne crowd was got into single file
whioh extended around from the balk doors
into Canal street and down to Ehubeth
street. As scon as order was restored the
depositors were admitted to the tank i.i
squAds of fifteen. The president of the
ba k had offers of assistance to-day from
kindred organizations. They were respect
fully declined, saying there was enough
cash on hand to meet the ruu. Mr. Quint
tard said it would take at least a week to
settle up with those already in line to-day.
There is no known reason ~ for the run. ex
cept that ignorant foieign depositors became
distrustful.
THE RUN AT NEWARK.
Newark, N. J., Nov. 20. —A bigger
crowd than cn the two previous days shiv
ered i. uts-.de of the Howard Havings Bank
this morning long before the bank opened.
Hundreds of women surrounded the hank
to withdraw their money. Most of the
withdrawals were by Poles, Italians and
other foreigners. Thee were nine
women to every man. Many business
men are making deposits as usual to
allay the feeling of suspicion. President
rrelmghuyseu says that he has plenty of
money to pay off the depositors, and if
every depositor withdraws ihe bank would
stiil have over $5€0,000 left. The business
community is not worried over the run.
A FAILURE AT PHILADELPHIA.
Barker Bros. Close Their Doors, but
Make No Explanation.
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 20.—Tho fail
ure of Barker Bros. & Cos., bankers and
brokers, was announced on the stock ex
change this afternoon. The firm is com
posed of Abraham and Wharton Barker.
The firm at 1 o’clock stopped receiv
ing deposits at their offices at Fourth
and Chestnut streets, and at 1:15
o’clock the doors were closed. Members of
the firm relused to make any explanati m
of their troubles. The firm has of late been
doing very little business through the stock
exchange. An assignment has been made
to Edward Mellor, who is a son-in-law of
Whraton Barker.
CAUSE OF THE FAILURE.
The failure has been cause ! largely by
various unprofitable railroad inve-tments.
Barker Bros. & Cos. were identified witn a
number of railroad schemes, whioh prudent
financiers and capitalists avoided, and when
the money stringency came they found it
impossible to realize upon them. Among the
railroad securities with which the firm were
identified in recent years were the Ohio and
Northwestern, Oregon Pacific, San An
tonia aud Arkansas Pass, and the Charles
ton, Cincinnati and Chicago, all of which
have drawn heavily upon the resources of
the Barkers.
BARKER IN OTHER COMPANIES.
Wharton Barker was president of the
Finance company of Pennsylvania, and
was a director in the Investment Company
of Philadelphia, of which latter company
he was formerly vice president. Just be
fore Barker’s suspension was announced to
day, meetings of the directors of these
companies were called, apparently with
haste. What action was taken by the di
rectory of either of tho two corporations
was kept inviolably secret.
READY FOR A RUN.
At the Finance Company's "office
diate preparations were made for an antici
pated run on its deposits, and subsequent
developments showed that the precaution
was well taken. A number of checks were
presented during the last hour of the day’s
business, and some account! drawn nut. All
drafts made upon it w ere promptly met,
and Treasurer Stern assured a number of
persons who had accounts there that the
company was entirely solvent, and would
pay everything presented in the form of a
check or other demand.
CLAIM TO BE SOLVENT.
In tho office of the company after 3
o’clock Charlemagne Tower, Jr., vice presi
dent of the company, said that the Finance
Company was under no stress, but could
pay every obligation against it, and that
the roeetieg of the directors had no refer
ence to the Barker failure.
At the Investment company's office Pres
ident Hoyt said that no action was taken at
the meeting of the directors that could in
terest the public in any way, and that it
had no reference to the Barker failure.
Pork Packers Assign.
Cincinnati, 0., Nov. 20.—Charles Jacobs
& Cos., pork and beef packers at Plum and
Findlay streets, assigned this morning to
George C. Jacobs. Their liabilities are *BO,-
000 and their assets *40,000, with prefer
ences given in favor of George Wuesfc for
*1,700.
Broker Smith Indicted.
New York, Nov. 20. —The grand jury
to-day indicted Albert H. Smith of Mills,
Robeson & Smith for forgery in the first
degree.
A BANK OLBRK SCOOPS IN $25,000.
He Had the Money SenJ; By Hxprese
from Another Bank.
Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 20.—Moses S.
Marks, who up to one year ago was em
ployed at the Flour City National Bank, in
this city, telegraphed by the Western Union
Telegraph line to the National Bank of
Commerce, the New York correspondents
of the Flour City bank, to send immediately
*25,000 in currency. He signed the name
of the cashier of the bank, William A.
Walsh, to the dispatch. Th;s morning the
bank received a letter from the National
Bank of Commerce, in New York, saying
the money had been se it iu $lO aud *2O
bills. The bank official;, at once
telephoned to the Americau Express Com
pany to learn if the money which they hal
not ordered had been received, and learned
that Marks had called there at 9 o’clock and
received the cash. The express company
officials knew him, and supposed he was
still connected with the bank. The police
are now looking for Marks. Tho thief is n
young man of the town, who has hitherto
borne an excellent reputation.
MARKS CAPTURED.
Utica, Nov. 20. Moses Marks, tho
Rochester bank thief, was captured in a
house of ill-fame in this city to-night by
Detective Cleveland of tho city police force.
All the money except $350 was recovered.
Coal Mine Drivers to e trike.
Brazil, Ind., Nov. 20.—The drivers in
the coal mines here have demanded an ad
vance iu wages to *2 t>er day. The oper
ators have determined to refuse the de
mand. A general suspension throughout
the block coal district is imminent. The
yearly rate has been fixed, but some oper
ators are paying *2, aud hence all are asked
to.

LOVE OF OXUS_COCNTRY.
CLEVELAND SPEAKS ON IT BEFORE
THE JEWELERS.
America the Freest and Best, and
Greatest Country on Earth-Duty of
the People to Preserve it for Pos
terity—Why it is "Our” Country.
New York, Nov. 20.—The Jewelers’
i Association gave it* annual banquet to
night. Among the guests and principal
, speakers of the evening was Grover Cleve
j land. He said:
Mb. l’RnstiiEXT aud Gexti.emsx—'The send
! mint assigned to me suggests a tbeme so vast
aad so animating that I am embarrassed in my
| attempt to deal with it. You surely will not
expeat me on this occasion to voice all the
j thoughts and feelings which the men
'*on. of “Our Country” inspires. If
! should do this 1 should merely tax
I your time and patience by an expression of the
! reflection* which spontaneously- fill your minds,
i besides, if I should launch upon this subject in
true American style 1 know I could not avoid
the guilt of making a Fourth of July speech
late in the mooth of November. I hasten to
declare that 1 do not fight shy of my subject
because Ido not love it. on the contrary, I
love it so well that 1 am anxious to
observe all the proprieties related to it.
and 1 canoot rid myseif of the idea that our
America') eagle sours higher and better in the
warm days of July thau in the cool atmosphere
of the present season. And yet I am far from
believing that at any time, and in any us-em
olajte of Americans, the sentiment "Our coun
try” is not a proper one to propose; though 1
have sometimes thought that it speaks so elo
quently for itself that it needs no inter
preter. There seems absolutely to be no
n ce-sity for the arousing of enthusiasm oh this
topic, and there is not tne slightest danger t hat
any of us will forget what we have accom
plished as a nation, or what we propose to ac
complish, or that we will fix too narrow a limit
upon the progress, development and greatness
of our country.
AN INCLINATION TO BOAST.
Sometimes those who unfortunately cannot
claim this as their country accuse us of dwell
ing with some exaggeration upon these thing-;
hut every American Is entirely certain that such
imputations arise from ignorance of our
achievements, or from envy and disappointed
rivalry. At any rate, it is our habit to glorify
our country, and we propose to continue it.
We all do it without prompting, and we like it.
We can stand any amount of it without disturb
ance, and whether others like it or not, we know
aud we propo-e to declare on every occasion that
America is the freest and best and greatest
country on the face of the globe. The proposi
tion is not original with me, but has been a
settled fact in the American mind for many
years. Thougu this might be said to dispose of
the subject by a short cut, and though I have
declined to deal with it in all ita aspects, the
American disposition to glorify our couutry is
strong with me, and I am disinclined to abandon
my allotted sentiment in a manner quite so
summary.
WHY IT IS "OtlR” CODSTBY.
“If I am to retain it for a few moments I
know of no better way to deal with It than to
divide it and consider one brancli or part of my
text, as is sometimes done with a long text iu
the pulpic, therefore I propose to say something
about the word “our" as related to the senti
ment, “Our country.” This is •‘our’’ country
because the people have established it; because
they rule it; because they have developed it;
because they have fought for it, aud because
they love it. And till each generation of
Americans hold it only in trust for those
who shall come after them, and they are
charged with the obligation to transmit it as
strong and as sound as it came to their hands.
It is not ours to destroy, it is not ours to sell,
aud it is not ours to neglect and injure. It is
ours as our families are ours, and as our
churches and school* are ours—to protect and
foster and improve. As its strength and its
fitness to reach its promised destiny depend
upon its unity, one of our Mghest duties toward
it is to cultivate aud encourage kindliness
among our people, to the end that all may
heartily co-operate in performing the terms of
our trust. As its exists for us all. so all should
be accorded an equal share in its benefits.
PERVERSION OF ITS OPERATION.
It is so constructed that its work is badly
done and its operation perverted when special
and exclusive advantages are awarded to anv
particular class ot our people. If we permit
grasping selfishness to influence tts in the care
of our trust we are untrue to our obligations
and our covenants as Americans. Our country
is “ours” for the purpose of securing through
its means justice, happiness and prosperity to
all—not for the purpose of permitting
the selfish and designing to be enriched
at the expense of their confiding fellow
countrymen. It is, then, our duty to defend and
protect our country, while it remains in our
hands, from that selfishness which, if per
mitted, will surely undermine it, as clearly as it
is our duty to defend it against armed enemies.
Nor are we discharged from our obligations as
trustees of our country if we merely pre
serve it in the same condition as when
we received it. The march of progress
and civilization throughout the world
imposes on us the duty of proving our trust so
that it may tie transmitted to others in such an
advanced condition of prosperity and growth
as shall iicar witness to our faithfulness and
our devotion to its interests. He who liid his
talent in a napkin and added nothing to it was
condemned as unfaithful when called upon to
give an account of his stewardship. Let us
rejoice, then, in the greatness of “our
country," but let us remember that it will
be our blame It it is not made greater: let
us boast of the country which is “ours.” but let
our boasting be tempered with the reflection
that its possession is charged with a sacred
trust; let us constantly bear in mind that while
it is ours to use patriotically and transmit to
comiDg generations, our relation to it is made
more serious by the fact that in its broadest
and most solemn meaning "our country” is
something which, as an example and inter
preter of freedom, belongs to the world, and
which in its blessed mission belong* to human
ity.

Another Settlment of the Question
Over the Site.
Chicago, Nov. 2a—The national world’s
fair commission resumed its labors this
morning. The first task on hand was the

of the treasury not to honor drafts made on
him by the foreign affairs committee. Til s
occupied most of yesterday's session, ana
when an adjournment was takeu yesterday
afternoon two resoluti ns in effect censur

put at rest by the passing of a resolution to
the effect that the action of the executive
ei Lumittee was not intended as a discourtesy
to the foreign affairs oommittee, but hail
for its obj 'ct to notify tho Secretary of tho
Treasury that the st te of the fuuds availa
ble for the use of the oommisrion for the
remainder of tne year was such that strict
economy o:i the part of all the committees
would be required.
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS.
Tho report of tho committee on buildings
and grou'i Is, predated yesterday, came up
as a special order. It embraced the much
mooted question of what proportion of the
fair should be placed ou tho lake front. It

tive art buildings, music ball, elec
trical display, water palace and steel to wer,
with other germane exhibits, be placed on
the lake front with the main department
buildings, togeffier with the government
and state exhibits,on Jackson park, and the
overflow on the midway pltiisauce and
Washington park. Vari us amendments
reducing the number of buildings on the lake
front were voted down, and the report was
adopted, thus settling the site question.
The lady managers also met this morn
ing and proceeded to the formation of a
permanent organization. Mrs. Potter
Palmer of Chicago was elected president.

O’Shea.”
The Labor Woilil asks: “Is the people’s
support of the homo ruie movement to be
impe; lied by the refusal of Mr. Parnell to
separate his personality from the interests
of home rule? Mr. Parnell cannot plead
iguorauoe of the feeling of the Liberal
party regarding his new position.”
NOT THE SOLE AFFAIR OF ERIN.
The Labor World holds that thosu who
argue that control of tho Irish party is the
sole affair of the Irish people, aud that noth
ing will be involved or jeopntdlzed if they
do not repudiate Mr. Par nil’s leadership,
u consciously play into the hands of the
enemies of home rule. Others, with sur
passing extraordinary ignorance of the
necessities of tho political crisis and with
wild extravagance of blind zeal, say that
Mr. Parnell, as a Protestant, it not morally
responsible to tho Catholic-. Those who
advance the latter argument are shaking
tho very f umlaiion upon which home rule
stands in England.
A SMALL SACRIFICE.
The paper adds: “Mr. Parnell is atkod to
make a small sacrifice In return for the >oc
ritices that a confiding and generous people
have made for him. He must not consider
his own political future in this crisis, but
what is the beet course 1 1 adopt in the in
terest of home rule in Ireland. He must
remember that he defied tho Irish popular
sentiment when ho rode rougn-shod over
the feelings aud opinions of his
own party, when in 1886, in
tho presence of another serious
crisis, he thrust Capt. O’Hhea upon the
elootor* of Galway. The wounds thereby
inflicted upon the minds of bis ablest fol
lowers are yet unhealed. Loyalty to tho
union, fidelity to the cause, compelled his
colleagues to gulp down their indignation.
Will Mr. Parnell now ask a similar sacrifice
from his home rule friends in England ?’
GLADSTONE HAS GIVEN NO ADVICE.
In response to an inquiry Mr. Gladstone
has telegraphed that it is not true that he
has eouvoyod any intimation to Mr. Parnell
as to the Course lie should pursue iu conse
quence ot the result of tho O’Shea divorce
case.
WANT TO KEEP THEIR LEADER.
Dublin, Nov. 20. — United Ireland says:
“Ireland’s character for morality will inten
sify the scorn of the people for those onnt
ing hypocrites who think that publicity is
the essence of *iu. Now is the time to re
pay Mr. Purnell for his public services. In
reply to affected purists and Pharisee*, we
say, ’We have our leader aud moan to keep
him.’”
The Irish Catholic says Mr. Parnell has
sinned nearly as much against Ireland as
against morality, but a grave political
exigency demands that he continue to bo
the leader of his party.

Parnell, says that be is u raging lion seek
ing to devour any one who disputes bis
argument that Mr. Parnell ought to be
driven into eternal darkness. Mr. Stead,
the Journal says, lias called a mooting of
the vigilance associations to consider
whether Mr. Parnell is a fit leador of the
Irish nationalists. In regard to tho Fall
Mall Gazette's skepticism, the Journal's
London correspondent asserts that ba has
received Mr. Parnell’s personal declaration
that he does not Intend te resign his leader
ship. The whole Iri-h party, the Journal
declares, stands o solid phalanx at Mr. Par
nell’s back.
PARNELL AGREES TO LEAD.
Mr. Parnell has sent to several of bis
colleagues a communication to tho effect
that as long as he is supported by his col
leagues and the Irish people lie will remain
at the helm in politics. He says that he has
never sought either office or reward of any
kind from any English party, and ho does
not seen their assistance. The Irish people,
not English politicians, must decide the
question of the leadership of the
Nationalist party. At tho present
critical juncture he would ba
false to his duty to Ireland if he should
desert bin position because of private mat
ters with whioh politics have no concern.
When his mission is accompli-hod and
justice has been won for Ireland after her
long struggle against overwhelming odds,
the people may choose whom they will to
conduot their local affairs. If thoy desire
other leaders they will be able to elect niton
of their choice.

take notice wai one that Mr. Parnell was
incapable of committing, namely, treason
to Ireland.

the first.
Timothy Healy, in seconding Mr. Mc-
Carthy’s motion, satd that for Irishmen
Mr. Parnell was loss a man than an institu

WOUNDS THE PEOPLE.
The Journal (Irish Catholic) says: “Mr.
Parnell has wounded deenl? the moral and
religious sens* of tbs people. He has sinned
nearly as much against Ireland as against

may boa barrier to the move
ment.”

discarded their leader they would see a
