But to conclude from this that a solid and general upward movement has been catablished is by no means reasona- ble. The rise originated from artificial causes and was carried on by artificial means, the market was heavily oversold, and nothing was easier than to twist the clicqued stocks, This was very success- fully accomplished by A BRACE OF BIG MANIPULATORS, and the rush of the entrapped bears to tree themsolves did the rest. As a mat- tor of course the speculative list felt the impulse thus suddenly given to the mar- ket, and a sympathetic advance spread itself over all the active securi The movement was greatly assisted by the declaration of a gurantee of the Ca Pacific dividend, by able ies. nadian favor- uncommonl; statements in regard to the business of the Dacific Mail, and by tho tumor of a projected extra dividend on the Northwestern stocks. In such circumstances prices went up of themselves. Not only were there bears anxious to buy in their shorts as fast as they could, but all the small traders of the board room jumped in to buy right and left. A manipulation started in circumstances so favorable could not fail. and prices closed on Satur- day at the highest point they have reached ior a considerable time past. THE IMPORTANT QUESTIO; however, comes now: How is this movement to be mamtained when the short interest has been eliminated, and when there is nobody to buy stock ex- cept the manipulators themselves and their following, consisting only of room traders! The bona fide investors, and what Wall street calls tae ‘‘outside pub- lic” (meahning business and professional men coming 1n for a ‘“flyer”) do not as yet appear in tho market, and will not appear till confidence is fully restored, and that will take we possibly months of time. They have all been POISONED BY ADULTERATED GOODS and are still under medical treatment, Jay Gould scoms fuily to comprehend this, for he does not attempt to bull even his own stocks at present, although he rp-aks with great confidence of the future, A fow duys ago, ina conversa tion with a very influcntial gentleman, whom he knew to have nothing to do with Wall street specu- lation, he sad: ‘I oxpect to seo an improvement in all branches of business early next year. The scttle- ment of the year's accounts will continue to keep things uncertain, and there are, of course, some more failures anticipated between now and the close of the year. But after that I expect to seo THINGS GREATLY IMPROVED, There are over 100,000,000 lying idle in the trust companies. This mass of money awaity a chance for investment, and will come out as soon asan improved fecling has been established. The rail- roads are all doing a good husiness, and I have no doubt that their securities will soon be better appreciated.” All this looks porfectly plausible and sincere, but there is not a word here to suggest the idea that the time to buy Wall street sccurities has al- ready artived, and that lower prices are not to come bofore higher ones begin to be firmly established ONE OF THE MOST CUT: In the recent bull movement is the re- port that “Billy” Hutchinson of “ob- vious fraud” memory, has been taken 360 the oouncils of the Venderbilt party. It is short o time since Mr. Hutchinson was oxpelled from the Stock Exchange, on a charge of fraudulent practices in the manipulation of Mr. Dufl’s cash and securities, that there is no need to romind our readers of the charges then brought against him, A candi for the presidency of the board at the recent election was defeated mainly on the ground that Mr. Hutchin- son had an account in his office. But Mr. Hutchinson was known to be an experienced and skilful manipulator of stocks and the general snpposition is that the wretched failures which the young Vanderbilt party had of late made in their attempts to work the market, led them to the idea of asking Hutchinson to join them and BOSS THY, DEAL, They were, it is said, all the more prompted to do so because Hutchinson was a8 prominent as they themaselves are in such mild religious rackets as the Young Men's C! hristian association, The effect upon KEuropean investors when they learn that the Vanderbilts' leading associate in business is an expelled mem- ber of the Stock Exchange can certainly not be a favorable one, The great care taken to mask the combination, and the fact that Mr. Hutchinson is never men- tioned by any of the persons con- US THINGS prevading | corned in it, cannot do much Our inquisitive age unravels much deeper mysteries, and, aided by the telc good western stocks was based, consisted of a statoment that 8 per cont. would be paid upon the common and 10 per cent. on the proferred, and that sibsequently the long promised division will be made of the accumulations in the treasury of the company. 1t is also believed that the newly built branch roads will be cap- | italized and that a sharo in tho profits of | the operation will be given to the stockholders. This statement was widely spread in Wall street during the weok, and this fact is the graphs and cables, makes the truth known quite as fast as the most dexterons manipulator will ever be able to put the stock market up or down, THE BRIGHT IROMISES upon which the steady risc in the Nortli- | |THE BAD MEN OF IDAHO. e Now W Town of Caldwell Bap- tised With Two Bloody Murders, The Men Bcnten to Death While Asleep and the Bodies Robbed.

But that does not by any means reduce the value of the property. On the contrary, from what can be learned, it is likely to improve it. ELECTION RETURNS. The Shadows of Victory and Defeat as Shown by the Figures, NEBRASKA RETURNS, * COLFAX COUNTY, Corrospondenco of Tix Bee Corrax County, November 9, 1883, — Colfax county polled a heavier vote this year than at any previous election. Dur- ing the Presidential campaign of 1881, the votes numbered 1184, giving a Te- publican majority of 200. The present vote is 1530, of which Schuyler pre- alone cast 450, Asall the Re- publican candidates were elected with the exception of one, it is conceded a Ropub- fican victory, and thus it appears on the face of it. However, as A. M. Post and nearly all the Republican county officors were endorsed by the Anti-Monopoly party, it is after all not so much a Re- publican as an_ Anti-Monopoly victory. The returns indicate that Reese run be- hind his ticket in the country, Schuyler alone giving him a majority of nearly 200 and he came out only 155 ahead of Sav- age. Our Representative, A. F. Clark, hay- ing resigned,Schuyler’s perennial ].epul»» lican mndldn!e, H. C.

ANOTIIEIL CLASS OF FRAUDS, The report of Second Audito andits consideration by Attorney Brewster, has led to another branch of investigation conneeted with the swind- ling of soldiers by claim agents. Tho District Attorney has discovered that a number of firms here have issued circu- lars s¢ ng claims for additional boun ty, and asking and accopting fees in ad vance for the pretended prosecution of this class of claims. The fraud arises from the fact that the time for filing these claims expired under the law of June 30, 1883.
