THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: HOW STOCKS WERE AFFECTED The Influence of the Inter-State Commerce Bill Distinctly Felt, BEARS CONTROL THE MARKET Henry Clews of the Opinion That the Measure Will Work Permanent Injury to Valnes—An Ope posite View. The Day in Wall Street, New Yonrk, Jan, 22.—[Special Telegram tothe Bir.)—The sentiment in regard to stocks today was unmistakably bearish, While the passage of the inter-state coms merce bill had all along been regarded a certain, it was argned that it wonld increase the feeling of distrust abroad in regard to American securities. London was azain a heavy seller and prices on London exchange weak and lower. 1t was claimed thata gen- eral selling movement had been started which would send a vood many more stocks to this country. The political situation was considered as eritical, and a good many war rumors were circulated. In the face of con- ditions adverse to a bull market buyers held aloof and the bears pressedftheir advantage, selling the whole list off more or less. Hoc! ing Valley continued to break on the tall over issue of securities and the report that shows the Huntinzton party had secured control of the property. From the cajy tals of varions wesiern states whose legislatures are now in session came reports of expected legislation adverse to railroad Interests, Coal stocks did not break mueh aud on every slump the buying was good enough to rally prices, Cliqued stocks, like New Enziand, Jersey Central, and Reading, were well supported, and points Were ont that as soon as the character of the fi-uvml market improved these stocks would eiven a sharp turn upward. The bank statement, showing a small increase in the reserve, was construed as favorable, especially oney w enty and rates very low. Contrary to_expectations, there was no rally at the close. 'T'he bulls made no effort to sustain prices except in New England, Jer- sey Central, and Reading, all of which were active and well held at about the top prices of the d The rest of the list dragged down steadily and closed at about the lowest prices of the day. ‘The total sales were about ©00,000 shares. Two Opposite Opinions, New Yor, Jan. 22.--[Special Telegram to the BEE.]—On the subject of the passase of the inter-stato commerce bill, Heury Clews sala: *““The bill must now be accepted as law, for it is certain of the executive signa- ture, being undoubtedly a popular measure with the multitude, although it is not so with the inter-state railroads. It cannot fail to be fnjurious to the workings of these corpora- tions, as its effect 1s to disgust and disorgan- fz6 methods of business. Under the law ‘which it provides for they will be compelled to advance their through rates in proportion to their local charges. This will materially dwarf that class of business. Stocks of rail- roads affected by the new law must becom less valuable, as’they will suffer by the injur; to business of those roa ‘There has been tor several days past considerable liquidation of stocks owing to fear of the passaze of this bill, and this liquidation is likely to con- tintie for some days, especlally froin London lolders,” [he ‘ribune, in its financial article, speak- ing of the interstate commerce bill, says: *The large vote by which the bill passed the house encouraged the ‘bears’ to sell stocks ind'scriminately,but there are no indications that the real holders of securities are in the least disturbed, 1t is an axiom that the rail- way interest of the country, which is widely distributed, and which, through the ageney vings' banks, penetrates every Ame: can household which has savings laid aside, can not be disturbed without the infliction of a greater sacrifice to every commercial, mer- cantile and industrial interest in the coun- try. It is for this son that both large and small Lolders of securities are complacent and satislied with the situation. The ‘bears’ sell stoeis freely and, as they have done sev- eral times before, mark lower quotations. But neither their free ofierings nor the logic of events and circumstances as yet haye brought outany real certificates of stock. We ke no vredictions, but there is noth- ing visible which warrants the belfef that the result of to-day’s raid on values will be any different from those of the numerous as- saults which have been made upon the market since the middle of last December.”” S LIVE STOCK COMMISSION MEN.

The court decided that Wells was fully informed of the particulars of the deal and that therefore there was no fraud* that it was a “lump” settlement; that it must stand In the absence of detailed ' accounts by Wells, Furthermore, the judge says, the dealings of the firm were gainbling contracts and conspiracies against public poliey, and for that reason the court could not even en- tertain the suit. ‘Che court room was crowded and the decision was received with a great deal of interest, A story is cles that When Cardinal 0 ! ay : ——— Cattlemen Intery the President, WASHINGTON, Jan, 22.—Dewitt W, Smith, president of the National Cattle Growers' assoclation; Towers, of Kansas City, and Handers, of St. Louis, had an interview with President Clevoland to-day in relation to the plenro-pnenmonia bill now pending tn con- i’rn 8.

My quandom friend, Algernon Paddock, has got there, and tie friend to the people and foe to corporations has been laid, metaphor- leally speaking, under the soil and the dew. But not t6 await the judament day. Charles 1L Van Wyek, endorsed by 51,000 voters of Nebraska, will remain a prominent factor in the politics of this state, and will figure prominently in 1888, When I know that forty rooms of the Capl- tal hotel were pald for by the 8. & M. railroad company there is no evidence lacking to proye to me that Van Wyck's defeat—no matter who I8 his successor—is a victory to the most powerful corporation ever tolerated in tms state, the B, & M. railrond company. For that reason I predict that a democratic majority in nine-tenths of all the counties in Nebraska is a vossibility and a probability for five years hereafter. Sald a prominent pohtician of the state to me this moraing: “We will elect Van Wyck to congress In 18« MeShane ean never succeed himselt and Van Wyek will be the man, 1 the machine attempts dietation, as jt did in foisting Church Howe, then we will run hun independently and scoop all competitors, e isendorsed by the |‘|'n‘»]en|\ll King Caucus robbed him ot his strength and power.” Iliere is some method to such seeming madness.
