A. Dull Day in Wheat and Corn, with Advantages Favoring the "Uears." A. Small Business in Everything-, Trices Ecmaininj; Almost Stationary Provisions Listless, with a Disposition to Sell. MONEY.BOKDS AND STOCKS. Increased Activity, Which, llowever, Is Confined to Stocks of Three Companies. NEW YOlfK, Oct 6. Money on call was easy at 3 to 5 per cent., the last loan being made at 3 per cent., and closing offered at 3 per cent Prime mercantile paper, Gi8J per cent Sterling exchange dnll but steady at $4. 70 for aiztj days, and $4841 for demand. The total sales of stocks to day were 423.802 shares, including the following: Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 20,320; Erie, 4,810; Lake Shore, 4.400; Louisville & Nashville, 3.900; Missouri Pacific, 7.450; Northwestern, 11,l50; Northern Pacific, preferred, 5,460; Readire. 164.080; St Paul, CG.000; Western Union, S3, 056. The stock market was more active to-day than for some time, but the interest in the dealings was completely absorbed by three stocks. Western Union, Heading and St. Paul. The interest in the general list is shown by the fact that the three stocks mentioned furnished over threequarters of the entire day's business. Early in iho day prices advanced rapidly, and it soon be-' came positively asserted that the telegraph deal bad at last been consummated, which brought in heavy buying in Western Union. Favorable tumors in reeard to Reading started a large buying movement in that stock, and the impres)ion that a settlement of the difficulties among the Western roads would be arrived at at the meeting at Chicago to day was reflected in the trading in St Paul. The advance was Tery sharp, but came to a halt after the first hour, tbe high prices bringing a flood of stocks to the market. The gains were well held, bowever, tbouch tbe realizations weakened the list towards the close. The movement in Reading was sympathized in by the other coal stocks, and Jersey Central and Lackawana were prominent Tbe general situation chows no change, the earnings of the railroads still continuing good, and If, as is generally believed in Wall street, the government puts in operation a plan to put its surplus money in circulation, a healthier business toue is expected to result. The consummation of the Western Union-Baltimore & Ohio deal is regarded by the former as likely to add largely to its earnings. The opening was rather heavy, most stocks showing declines from yesterday's final figures of from i to f per cent. The ' entire list was strong, however, from the opening, and under tbe lead of Western Unidn and Reading advanced rapidly. The rise was checked before 11 o'clock, and the market showed a marked falling off in amount of business done, but prices remained firm, and tbe coal stocks became prominent Tbe best figures were made at 1 o'clock, after which time there was a slight reaction, and the close was rather heavy at or near the highest figures of tbe day. Everything is higher, but advances are for fractions only, except for Reading, which is up 1J; Western Union, It, and Jersey Central, 1J. Railroad bonds were very dull; sales, $626.000. Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwestern bonds rose 3, to 101; Chicago & West Indiana firsts, 5, to 115; Chesapeake & Ohio currency sixes lost 2j, at 17J; Texas Pacific terminal receipts. 6, at 56; Green Bay incomes, 2, at 35; Ohio Southern Incomes. 2. at 34, and Terra Haute divided bonds, 9. at 33.

' CHICAGO, Oct a The markets opened this morning very much as if there had been no interruption in the week's business. Pricen were very little changed and were not disposed to move any great distance one way or the other. Wheat for December delivery opened at

731e. fluctuating a while between 3io and Com for May sold at 45Jo and 45c After a while wheat became easier, tor the reason Jlhat no one supported it December fell back to 732c This affected corn a little. May falling back c After trade had fairly settled down, the tone was clearly bearish. There was some realizing, but it was bv small interests in a small way. Toward noon cables came in considerably' improved over the earlier ones, but it was then too late in the day for any good to result to the buir side. December wheat had reacted to 73c and corn to 43jc Neither grain possessed any elements whatever of Btrength, nor had they friends enough to hold the rarket up by maiu strength. It was a scalpers' market, and a very poor one at that There was a listless crowd in provisions, though when the weakness ia other pits became quite pronounced they did a little business. As a general thing the disposition was to sell hog product rather than to buy it Tbe close was slow at bottom prices for tbe morning. The leading futures ranged as follows: Opening. Highest Lowest.

Trade Rather Quiet with a Steady Tone to Prices Covers the Local Sitnation. Indianapolis, Oct 6. '-' The last day or two a tameness has crept over several branches of trade. Doubtless it is but temporary, as the conditions are such as to insure a good fall traffic, or at least such is the belief of most of tbe more observing and successful merchants, who say that it is not unusual for business tbe first week in October to be a little off. So far as prices are concerned, there is a strong, steady tone in all departments, grain excepted. However, flour is selling readily, but prices do not improve to meet the views of the millers. There is some demand in the Southern markets, but a large per cent, of the flour manufactured here is cow exported. . Tbe local consumption is about up to the usual average. Provisions are still unsettled in prices, little doing, except in a jobbing way. This la usually the case in October, as the wholesale markets are well cleared of stock preparatory to the commencement of winter killing. What the bog crop is to be is still a matter over which there is a good deal of speculation, but that the crop will be light in this section is quite evident Grocers report trade a little off, but a firm tone to prices on all staple articles. Sugars are in lighter supply, and higher prices indicated. Canned goods seemingly have reached tbe top notch, and, while ranging higher than last year, they are not as wild in prices as it was feared they would be when the canning season was in progress. Eges firm and higher prices, owing to light arrivals, indicated. Butter and poultry coming in quite freely, with prices steady, but not specially strong. Irish potatoes are arriving in large .quantities, and prices are weakening. Good stock was selling to-day as low as 80 cents per bushel, and only very choice, large, solid potatoes would bring 90 cents. Sweet potatoes in good supply, and 25 cents per barrel off. Apples coming in freely; prices uncharrged. Some fruit which will do for winter use begins to arrive, and sells at $2 50 to S3 per barrel. Other markets present no new features. GRAIN. Wheat is strong in tone and a shade higher. Receipts fall short of tbe demand. Corn is under a cloud. No one seems disposed to take

bold of this cereal, if the bidding can be taken as evidence. Oats are good property at prices quoted, as the tendency is to better 'prices for all grades. TracK bids to-day ruled as follows: Wheat No. 2 Mediterranean. No. 2 red . No. 3 red Rejected............... October ............. Novi -nber. ............ . Corn No. 2 white...........

J., who clipped the beard of revivalist Mnason and drove him out of town, was up for trial in Hackensack to-day. Mnason testified that when he called Leach a devil the latter promptly knocked him down. Leach had been vilified for some time by Mnason? and on the evening in question called at the meeting to bear what would be said. Leach followed Mnason to his boarding-bouse and cut off bis beard. After this Mnason was lashed out of town. Mrs. Berry, the boarding-house-keeper, who was a devoted follower of Moason, made charges agairst Leach for forcibly entering her house, and the county authorities took up the assault in the tent On Sept 27 Leach pleaded not guilty, when court assembled to day, on advice of counsel. ex-Governor Bedle, be withdrew but bis the plea and entered one of non vult contendere to all three counts. This meant that he would make no defense. His counsel made a strong plea for mercy before Judges Skinner, Ackerson and Garrison, but they imposed a fine of $1,000. ITood's Sarsaparilla is characterized by three peculiarities: First, tbe combination of remedial agents; second, the proportion; third, the process of securiug the active medicinal qualities.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.

.Local and State Notes. D. D. Allen was yesterday appointed agent of tbe Yandalia at Greenup, I1L H. D. Hammond, receiver of the L, D. & S. road, returned to New York last evening. The Cambridge City car-works are repairing several hundred coal cars for Pittsburg; parties. A movement is on foot to form a company to work the 111 iania coal mines on the L, D. & S. road. M. S. Conners, master of transportation on the C IL &L, is so ill as to confine him at home. C. E. Henderson, receiver of the L, B. & W., is so ill that he is confined to the house much of the time. The Lafayette car-works are building 750 coal cars for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois road, twenty-five tons capacity. Receiver McNulta ia expending several thousand dollars in improving the terminal facilities of the Wabash road at Toledo. Saturday last was the banner day on the Vanr dalia road. There were handled on the main line and the T. II. & L. division 7,477 passengers. J. D. Thomas, in charge of the shops, etc;, of the Lake Erie & Western road at this point, who has been seriously ill with typhoid fever for some weeks, is about again. Geo. H. Daniels, vice-chairman of the Central Traffic Association, has called a meeting of the members of the passenger department of the association at his rooms, Oct IL On the first of this month three conductors, namely, D. W. Bachelor, Thomas Perkins and IL W. Dean, left the Vandaha road and went South to take positions on the Alabama Ss Great Southern road. Stock of the C, L, St L. & C. road has adanced eleven points since the statement of President Ingalls was made public, and there seems to be little doubt as to its reaching par before New Year's. The Lafayette Car-works Company, at their shops in Lafayette, employ 600 men, and at their branch works in Lima 300 men, and have orders on hand and in prospect that will keep thein busy for four months to come. Ex-Conductor William Smith, of theC.L, St L. & G, will be buried to-day at Spring Grove, Cincinnati. A number of his friends in this city will go down this morning to Sunman, his late residence, to attend the funeral. Tho Indiana Midland will next week begin to run their trains regularly into Ladoga where connection is made with the L.. N. A. & C The two companies will work Louisville business and have prepared rates and divisions so to do. Norman Beckley, general manager of the Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan road, was in the city yesterday looking matters over. He says the talk of their building into Indianapolis is premature, but be hopes some time so desirable an extension will be built The Wabash proper earned the fourth weetin September $52,000 more than in the corresponding week in 18S6. The impression prevails that it would be better to leave the road in the bands of Receiver McNulta, as at no time in its history did the road earn as much, nor has it .as rapidly paid off its just debts. J. W. Sherwood, superintendent of the C, I., St. L. & C, leaves for tbe Pacifio coast on Sunday night He expects to be gone a month. He goes at the urgent request of President Ingalls, who says he is entitled to a good rest, so able was his management of the business of the road during tbe time Mr. Ingalls was in Europe. Freight traffic is so heavy with the Vandalia and the L & St L. that both roads are putting on additional train crews. Pacifio coast busi' ness is heavy beyond precedent and promises to be for some time to come, and with this increase cars of the transcontinental lines are becoming quite numerous in this section. The now A.. T. & S. F. cars, as fast as turned out at the Indianapolis car-works, find immediate service. The scalpers have got hold of a large number of the tickets sold to the G. A. R. encampment at St. Louis, and as they are good until the 31st of October, tbe scalpers can use them to advantage, unless they strike some timid party who dares not travel on them on au assumed name. The conductors are daily putting off persons, or railing on them for their full fare, who are attempting to ride on the name of the original purchaser of the ticket The Pennsylvania company is reaching out for more coal fields in Pennsylvania. Among new lines proposed is one from Lehighton, on the Lehigh Valley railrod, to Schuylkill Haven, wnere a profitable anthracite tonnage will be secured. Reading once owned such a line as the above. The Pennsylvania, it is also understood, is about to commence track-laying on the Shenandoah branch of its Schuylkill Valley line. It has also made surveys for branch lines to tbe anthracite tract on Broad mountain. The annual report of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois road, just published, shows that tbe passenger earnings in the fiscal year just ended increased 14 per cent and the freight earnings 11 per cent., there were 38J per cent, more passengers carried the last year than in the year preceding, and the tonnage of freight increased 18$ per cent. Had the rates which were in vogue prior to the taking effect of the interstate law been in force the earnings of the last five months of the fiscal year would have beon 15 per cent, larger. The Chicago & Atlantic management have adopted the policy of settling with parties injured on their trains or tracks, whether employes or passengers, as early as possible rather than enter into expensive lawsuits, and they find thet thousands of dollars can be saved annually by taking such advantage before suits are begun. This road has been quite exempt from serious accidents, yet the best of roads have numerous cases annually where damages are claimed, which can be easier settled before, the courts are sought. A few business men, one of them a coal-dealer, are taking soundings looking to the forming of a company to build another road to tbe Clay county block-roal mines, to be used especially as a coal road. They meet with little encouragement among coal-dealers, a J they well know that President MeKeen is disposed to give as low rates over the T. II. & I. road as the cost of transportation will bear. This is evidenced from the fact that a few years ago the rate from Brazil to Indianapolis on block coal was $L25 per ton, cow it is but CO cents per ton. The demand for coal cars to load for the West with anthracite coal is large beyoud precedent Western agents are daily receiving telegrams from trunk line agents urging them to forward cars, either loaded or empty, as expeditiously as possible to in part stop the clamor for cars. Shipments of merchandise, as well, are heavy beyond parallel.' and it is stated that thousands more of cars could now be used profitably. The fact that Western roads have adopted the policy of keepiug their own cars at home for their own local service has much to do with the scarcity of cars on roads east of Cleveland and Pittsburg. General and Miscellaneous. The Rio Grande tunnel, at Glen wood. Col., will be completed this week, and Monday next trains will begin to run to Glen wood. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road Is to shortly open its line between Chicago and Kansas City, and it is intimated that a fight on rates is to made to celebrate tbe event The Union Pacific is discarding tbe straight locomotive-stack for those of tbe old diamondshape. The straight stack being too straining on tbe fire-boxes is given as a reason for the change-. The Colorado Midland is pushing its extension down the Frying-pan route at the rate of two miles per day. The track-layers on Monday last were within ten miles of Roaring Fork, where the junction is reached. The report that tbe Union Pacific and tbe Chicago. Milwaukee & St Paul roads have formed a traffic alliance is not credited in Boston, yet it is not denied by the officials of those companies, although ample time has been afforded for them to deny it American Taste and Skill, Represented by Colgate & Co., produce perfumes and toilet soaps more delicate than can be made abroad.
