Reviewing the Extent of the Disaster in Rus- eel Sage’s Office. New Yonx, Dec. 5.—At the home of Russell Sage it is aid this morning that the injured man passed a good night. Mr. Sage was dic- tating lotters in bed and bad received many callere as well as many telegrams of congratu- lation. He slopt well during the night. His face is badly lacoratedand his body fall of splinters and bite of glass. His eyebrows and considera- blo of his hair are gone. Col. Slocum, his brother-in-law, who wes slso cut and braised, was at the oflice today. There is no clue as yet as to the identity of the aseassin. ‘TWO WERE KILLED. Tt is settled that the only persons killed were the unknown dynamiter and Mr. Sage’s clerk Norton. ‘The men who wore injured by the explosion at Tl Broadway were doing well this morning. C. W. Osborn, who is at Chambers Street Hospital suffering from acompound fracture of the skull and wound of theneck, passedarestfui night and was comparatively bright and cheer- fal this morning. He is believed to have a fair chance of recovery. ‘Mr. Washington E. Conner was scen at his new office, No, 70 Broadway. He said: “I called on Mr. Sage this morning at jouse and found him lookmg quite bright and cheer- fal. He will be all right again ina fow days, I think.

At 10 o'clock this morning Mr. Osborn, chief clerk of Russell Sage, exid that arrangements had been made for temporary transaction of the business of Mr. Sage's office at Messrs.

Mr. Osboru said be was looking for s permanent office, but not foun a place. At Messrs. Caldwell & Banker's office it was suid that Mr. Sage’s name had been transferred to their tape and that all inquiries should be directed there for the present. Mr. Osborn, they said, was formerly attached to that office, and they were isd to give their facilities for the use of the ng clerk of Imsbree ives at Bergen Point, NOT WILSON OF GLEN'S FALLS.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL New York Stock Market. ne the New York Breck Wire to Corson and M-cas Rich. | Rock Isiand. Bang Sliver Cu bee is Review of the Market. Henry Clews’ Weekly Financial Review, issued today says: Againa week of marked duliness and of some weakness of prices on the stock exchange. And yet, along with this, there are no condi- tions that cxn be considered sufficient to account for this state of things. All the improvement in the financial and political affairs of Europe it would seem ought to be attended with rome response in the markets; and in the foreign markets there really has been a marked recovery in the prices of nearly all secu! except American; ut they have rem ationary, because New York has been neither active nor buoyant On this ide the Atluatic the influential factors have been favorable to wecuriti Lindley, Wiechers & Co.; a) admitted, is an event which, that it must be not from its in trinsic importance, yet irom its possible in- volvement of members of the exchange, and its connection with the sensitive issucs of the Union Pacific, as well as from its sensational features, was calculated to arrest buying; if uot also to encourage selling. ‘he occurrence was a God-send to the “bears,” who bad largely oversold the market and needed a pretense for attacking prices; and their cousequent eetivity, together with the check upon buying, has been perhaps the main clement in produe- me ae disappointing market of the past weel A stage of the year bas now becn reached when, in spite of favorable conditions, th market is not usually responsive to movements for advancing prices. In three weeks we sual be in the midst of the diverting influences of the chief holidays of the year. The period of stock, making up annual accounts, pro- Viding for interest sottiements and making @ variety of annual liquidations, is not # time for initiating ' speculative campaign; and therefore, whatever may be thought of the legitimacy of a rise in stock valucs correspond- ing to the many-sided stimulus that now bears upon the stock market, it is not to be supposed that any important movement of that churacter is likely to appear until near the close of the year or at the beginning of 1892. During that interval we may possibly witness some irregu- larity in the market. The “bears” will need to exert ali their skill and power to extricate themselves from their large “short” commit- ments, and such temporary fuccesses as they may have will afford opportanities for buying. On the other hand, it seems quite provabre te on that outside happenings may prepon the favorable iad Washington Stock Exchanze.
