Dr. Pax- ton, assisted by Chancellor McCracken of the New York University, and probably by the Rev. Dr. Terry.

The interment will be in the mansoleum at Woodlawn, where Mrs, Goutd is buried. The architect of the tomb, H. G. French, visited Woodlawn today to examine the mausoleum and make the necessary arrangements for the reception of the body. MEETING OF GOULD'S ASSOCIATES.

He Has Practically Made Up His Mind to Call an Extra Session. New Youx, Dec. 3—Among well-informed demoerate the impression exists that President- elect Cleveland has practically made up his mind that an extra session of Congress will be necessary. The men who have formed that opinion believe that an extra session will be called because of things Mr. Cleveland said before starting on his shooting trip. To ore of these he disclosed his conviction that it would be impossible to avoid an extra session because of the condition of the treasury. Mr. Cleveland is expected to tell the people exactly what he thinks of the extra session talk at the Reform Club dinner December 10.

Do. Review of the Market. New Yorx, Dec. 3—Henry Clews in his Weekly Financial Review, issued today, gives the following as the state of the market: During the week we have had the first clear indication of what the Brussels conference is likely to prove willing todo toward settling the silver problem. The effect of the silver conference upon values is somewhat unsettling. Decause it arouses public attention to dangers which have long been realized by only compar- atively few. In reality this agitation should tend to restore confidence, for once the dai are fairly realized the remedy will be the sooner applied. While there is no ‘vccasion for im- mediate alarm over gold exports, oxceptional as they are at this season, still it is impossble to restore confidence under such conditions, Speculation in the industrials hasbeen active, but operations in there have been largely of an artificial cHwracter and railroad securities were influenced but slightiy by their movements.
