Saturday's move was such a coup d' etat as has not been seen on the Stock Exchange tor many months. W.

E. Connor bas not been upon the floor for months, certainly not since midsummer, but ft came lu yesterday just when tbe stock was the lowest, and lu stead ot buying he OFFEBKO TO 6iLL BY Till THOUSAND SHARES stock which his broker bad bougat witnin three dsy at a price of 3 or 4 per cent higner. I Jk.it A inn uiuKntj uau uuuKut, 0,1114 uuw uun At 1 his brokers ai I. ah.

Connor himself does not know. Every one has seen tbe buying bv Gould broken. Why then should Mr. Con nor have thought it necessary to go in aud sell himself, snd st the same' time give nut supporting orders to other brokers, so that he got rid of 23.000 shares while bis brokers bought 0,000 or a.OOO In order to hold up the price. The result was to put upon tbe room traders the support of the Gould stocks He bad been holding up tbe market until he had got tired, but he nad at the same time brought In the room traders and put them in so deep that they were actually compelled to go In and support Gould stocks against Mr.

Gould himself. Tbe tables were turned snd yet so mixed were dealers that many people bought stock for no other reason than that Connor was selling; they thought that if be realty wanted to get oat he would have sold under cover. THE HEXUiL SITUATION It csn not be said that there ia the slight en Improvement in the general situation. It ia certainly no worse, but tbe turn ot the tide is as yet Ira perceptible. Railroad earnings are beginning to pick up.

but tbe improvement is not whst it should be to warrant any rise in prices They began to gain in November, and have picked up since, but taken as whole the gain per mile for the month ot January la bat a little more than 1 per cent and everybody knows that the increased expenses on account of the heavy snows have been enormous great enough, as an old Western manager put It, to wipe oat all the gross earnings since the first of the year. Then look at the statements of the roads that bsve reported for tbe yesr. Some people think that the New York Central report is favorable Well, it shows, that the road has, with a largely increased debt, a surplus; sfter paying its reduced dividend, almost as great as lt had last year, and toat in what should be its best quarter, and when every one knows that it has been running behind hsnd since the first of the year. St Paul was going to have about a million over. It comes out with less than a naif a million, after gross earning bigger than ever before, with a single exoeprJon.

and an addition to the interest scoount which stands for an Increase in its debt of about $9,000,000. In other words, it earned almost as much as in its best years, but added more than 18,000,000 to Its debt, and has left over barely a week's earnings Then there is the Delaware and nuason which is one of the best 00 ol roads There too Is a road which has done better then In any previous year with a single exception, bat it has left over, after paying its dividends and Interest, less money then In any year since 1879. The Central Pacific has hsdone of the toughest years that it has ever known, and the Southern Pacific gets out with a balance of about a third as large as It had last year. As for the Union Paclflo, the showing la good enough, bat the company la on the street for money too often, and it owes millions for monev borrowed tn this cltv and In Boston more than enough to eat Bp Its rent Tfir 'T fnr tha asotl three months at least thx bavx aTATXkaarr Is the best thing of tne week. II shows that there is a better demand for money, for there Is a large increase In loans, while tbe rate ot Interest is as low as It has been at ail.

Man I I I I i can tile paper goes at 4 to 5, and the rata for call loans has not risen above 2 per cent Foreign exchange is quiet and steady, snd the deposits have also increased daring the week.

15. Senator Thomas F. Bayard arrived here at 2 o'clock this morning on the train wblch left New York st 9 am. last evening. His.

visit was unexpected, except by President Elect Cleveland, wbo no doubt bad summoned him to Albany. Senator Bsysrd upon his arrival was Immediately driven to the Kenmore Hotel, where he did not register. He wished his visit kept as secret as possible. He bud breakfast in his room, snd st about 1 o'clock took a sisigh and went to the Towner mansion. Mr.

Cleveland welcomed him. snd they were alone for several hours Senator Bayard departed as quietly as he came No one besides Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Manning, Colonel Lamont, and a few others knew that he bad spent the dsy In Albany until he was on his wsy back to Washington. To uight Colonel Lomont, on bing questioned regarding Senator Bav ard's sudden and unexpected visit, said: 'Senator Bayard spent a few hours wi Mr.

Cleveland to day. I can give no further Information. There no doubt that Senator Bavard came hero to make known to Mr. Cleveland whether ha i would accept or refuse a position in thu I Cabinet What his decision was Is kept a I secret Senator Gorman, of Maryland, and Congressman eiect Wiiliam M. Scott, of Pennsylvania, arrived here on the same train with Senator Bayard.

Feb. 1 5. The Capital to day has the following special dispatch from Albany: "President Elect Cleveland la preps red to offer Daniel Manning a Cabinet position if Mr. Manning intimates his desire tor that honor. Mr.

Manning has not that desire, and will not make toe lntlmaUoa. He is, however, willing to take a Cabinet position if the Pi eel dent elect will request him to joaoaaarasrannsl matter. The two mea are now so near together that a step xnrtaereii either side means Mr. Manning's entry into the Cabinet If he shall receive a portfolio lt is more likely to be that of the PostoiBce or the Interior Department than the Treasury, lhe appointment of Mx. Manning to a position in the Cabinet will of course imply that Mr.

Whitney, about whom there has been so much balk, will not have a place there. There has been very strong pressure upon Mr. Cleveland to I put Mr. Whitney into his Cabinet, and many peop.e seem to have regarded it as a settled thing, when there has been no real fonnda i tiou for any such belief. 1 It was well understood at once bv Senators I and members in Washington mat Mr.

Clevw land sejei no reason why he should not pat Mr Tbnrman into his Cabinet, if he can arrange other aptiointmente so as to not Ignore any important section ot the country. That i Mr. Thurraan will be either Secretary of State I or Secretary of the Interior Is now as likely as anything that Mr. Cleveland has I been reported as lutending to da The long experience and splendid reputation of Mr. I Ihurmou renders him essentially available as a Cabinet ofheer in the opinion of the new I President In regard to the New Englund I member of the Cabinet 1 violate no coua denoei lu saying that the po ium probably lies between jonn yuincy ausibs ana uio Hon.

Judge Abbott is known for his long record as a Democratic leader in his state, and for bis participation in the electoral commission of 177. when he was a member of the House of Representatives. His appointment, it is probable, wnoid be less satisfactory to tho mugwump eiement in Massachusetts than that of Mr.
