Trading on the Stock Exchange was light during the two hours Saturday, Sugar being the only stock which displayed anything like activity, and the dealings therein were less than the usual volume. A raid was made on Sugar at the opening, which forced the price down 1, to 102, which is just 10 per cent, below the figures current a week ago, and 114 per cent, below the highest point reached recently, the stock having sold up to 1144 on Aug. 21. There was nothing new In the situation affecting the sugar interests which developed that would account for the decline, and It can only be ascribed to the manipulations of the' clique. There was a full recovery In the later dealings, followed by a reaction of 4 per cent-, which represents the loss on the day. Chicago Gas was the only other share in which the transactions exceeded 5,000 shares. It recorded a decline of 14 per cent., with a final recovery of Northern Pacific preferred rose 2 per cent, on foreign buying and sales to cover short contracts. It is said there is a very large outstanding short interest in this stock, to which fact is ascribed its strength. Louisville & New Albany broke from 29-4 to 28 on one sale of a hundred shares. In the rest of the list the trading was insignificant, but the changes made were in the direction of higher figures. On the week the movement was irregular, but in the main the tendency was in the direction of lower values.

Henry Clews, in his review of operations In Wall street last week, says: "A? might have been expected, the Wallstreet markets hav during the past week shown a partial reaction from the advance and the activity immediately following the settlement of the tariff question. It was natural that an advance, after such a long period of dullness, should he followed by sales to realize profits. A luxury so long out of reach was seized with' prompt avidity: and the consequent decline in prices has been encouraged by b?ar sales. One fact, however, deserves to be noted as a symptom of the market. The realizing has been mostly by the smaller class of operators, who had bought for a turn upon the rro poet of the passage of the tariff bill. The large holder?, who have been carrying big lines of stocks, bought around panic times and held ever since, have as yet sold very few stocks. They appear to be of the opinion that the real advance Is not to be expected upon the transient sensational effect of the first settlement of this question, but upon the later effects, arising from the outworkings of th? readjustments and the general expaslon of business. The starting, up of manufacturing and merchantlng now apparent on every hand is, with them, a reason for expecting a permanent revival of confidence, an increase? in the earnlni? of railroads and improving dividends upon corporate capital generally. Taat the capitalist hollers consider to be the true time for realizing; and. with money still abundant and cheap, they see no reason for parting with property which a few weeks or months hence is likely to be worth much more than it would bring upon large sales to-day. Another motive Influencing this class to cling to their holdings 1st the fact that, owing to the large amount of stock h?ld stagnant through receiverships, this is. and for some time must remain, a comparatively narrow market, not best calculated to draw into Wall street a large outside Interest. The practical significance ff this factor Is that, until a considerably higher range of prices in reached, the market Is likely to be sustained by comparatively light offerings of stocks and by the countenance of a very influential class of holders. "The crop reports show Improving prospects for the railroads. The latest estimates indicate a probability of fully 500,rw.OoO bushels of wheat Up to the 20th of August, the crop of corn was estimated at about I.500.000.COO bushels: but later weather conditions have encouraged the hope that the yield may prove to be close upon an average. So far as respects transportation lnterets. the increase in wheat, amounting to something near lGO.OOO.OOO buahels, will probably quite offset any possible falling oft rn con; for. relatively, a unalier portion el the corn crop than of

I

the wheat crop Is subject to long hauls; and the large Increase In the latter crop will have to travel from West to East for export. It therefore would not be surprising If the earnings of the railroads out of this year's crops quite equal those of average years. So far as the crops affect the farming Interest and Its ability to purchase supplies at the East, the 'chances are much better than they were earlier in the seayen. If the price of wheat is low, yet it3 yield is now estimated at 23 per cent. KreatCT than last year's; and, for any reduction, of say 10 per cent., in the crop of crn, there is, at present, the compensation of an advance over last year's prices of the same date of fully 30 per cent. The farmers prospects may therefore be reckoned as fully up to the average of late years; which, after all, did not prevent the agricultural sections- from suffering much less than any other under the trials of last year. "The reports on the world's crops made at the Vienna fair are here generally regarded as materially underestimating the probable output. The opinion gains ground that the aggregate supply of wheat from all sources will turn out to be the largest in the world's history. Should this prove to be the case. It will afford a valuable help towards the abatment of political discontent and the recovery of . depressed Industry among the European nations. In England, Germany, France, Belgium, etc.. the recovery of trade comes slowly. Large expectations (in England especially) have been built upon the adoption of a lower tariff in this country. It remains to be seen hoy far the event wlll Justify that hope; but It will, at least for the present, give a stimulus to European industries, and that may possibly suffice to break up the prevailing stagnancy and start old world commerce upon a fresh era of activity. "The enactment ot the new tariff has had less effect upon tne English market for our securities than had been expected. Like our own market, London had bought moderately on the prospect, and it sold promptly on the advance. British investors have been so discourged by the recent receiverships of our great railroads that time must elapse and those events be. forgotten before London will become a considerable buyer either for Investment or speculation. Here this Is expected; and the effect of this loss of the usual London co-operation has been already discounted and has no further effect for the New York market." Saturday Hank Clearing;-.

The month opens with a fair trade for Saturday, especially on Commission row. On the -wholesale streets the first day of the month business Is usually a little quiet, but traveling salesmen say the outlook for a good September business is decidedly flattering. Stocks are low. Retail merchants have their back bills out of the way, and with fall-like weather it is believed trade will reach a very respectable volume. Prices the past week have taken on a steadier tone in staple groceries and articles which come into dally consumption in the way of eatables. For several days the poultry and egg markets have been steady and firm. Fruits and vegetables of the season seldom sell lower in the early fall than at the present time, and the quality of fruits and vegetables is much better than had been looked for. The seed market is rather quiet, owing to the dry weather for plowing, but prices are well held on most descriptions. The wool market is flat and it now looks as if local holders of wool would lose money on their holdings, notwithstanding the fact that they purchased at extremely low prices. The local grain market the latter part of the week was more active than earlier in the week, but prices the week through have -aried little.

Senator Brice got his start in life in a rather interesting way. After he left college he studied law, but he didn't get on very well, and he went to Charlie Foster, then Governor of Ohio, and asked If something in the way of an office couldn't be found for him. "Impossible," sail the Governor. "You are a Democrat and I am a Republican. It would caue no end of talk if I wore to give you a place, with so many Republicans wanting olllces." But Brice was la strait and he begged so earnestly for some help by which he might extricate himself that Foster finally placed a sum of money in his hands and told him to come to New York an! look after a certain financial transaction. His last injunction to the young man was tj follow instructions. When he got here Brice made inquiries that and then acted directly contrary to what he had been told, telegraphing forthwith what he had clone. Foster wired indignantly for the reason. The reply was: "Because I could make 510.000 for you." There was no questioning beyond that, and thenceforth Foster ana Brice worked in harmony m various railroad operations, the latter giving up his idea of a legal career for the more lucrativi one ot railroad builder and promoter.

BULLS CAUGHT ASLEEP

ESTIMATED T1IKV ARE CARRYING 150,000,000 OF LOXG WHEAT. All Grain Suffered Reclines at Chica go Yesterday, While the Provision 31arket Advanced. CHICAGO. Sept. L Board of Trade busi ness was rather light to-day, and the bears had the advantage in the contemplation of a big array of figures as likely to represent the receipts of Tuesday morning. Another expected addition to the visible of wheat of about 1,000,000 bushels was also again.,t the bulls. As a consequence, September wheat is 4c lower than It closed yesterday. Corn, after a lively rise In the beginning, tumbled until c lower for September and sC lower for May. September oats closed ?ic lower and provisions finished at advances. A general desire to anticipate the effect on Tuesday morning of the accumulations of the receipts during the Sunday and Mon day holidays caused wheat to rule weak. It was steady for about an hour, but broke down when a sudden collapse in the price of September wheat reawoke the wheat traders to what had previously been in their mind about the expected big receipts on Tuesday. The receipts to-day were rath er smaller than estimated for Chicago, and at Minneapolis and Duluth the reported re ceipts did not indicate any likelihood of the volume of farmers' deliveries in the Northwest increasing. The foreign markets were steady and the deliveries of wheat on Sep tember contracts, were all taken care of by the elevator proprietors. About 2,C00,O0O bushels was the quantity which' was sup posed to be tendered in the morning by a few houses and, after going the rounds, it found its way back to the carriers who have it sold for December. Trade was light arid the price was thus easily affected by a moderate amount of short selling. The bulls are lugging probably 150,000,000 bushels of long wheat in this market and they 'need help when their burden is Increased by the Impact of the short sell ers Jumping on their shoulders. December opened at 56TsC, or c below its closing value on Friday. It advanced to 5c, sold off to 564c, and closed at 56jsC. There were practically no deliveries of corn on September contracts to-day. and consequently the shorts for the month were alarmed. The holder of the cash corn did nothing to allay thel fears, but, on the contrary, J. C. Schwarts's recognized brok- ? er3 were biddlncr for the limited offerlnes during the first hour of the session. Sep tember opened at 5c, as against 50?ic at he close yesterday. .It rose excitedly to 5834c, and, . after reacting to 5Sc, close to which it held for a short time, it had a sensational tumble to 5C4c and later to 56e. at which latter point it was when the mar ket closed. ' The weakness came from ex pected heavy Monday receipts. May opened nrm at about yesterday s closing price, and advanced under the influence of the strength in September until the former touched 54c. It declined from 54c to 527ie. and closed at 53e, or c lower than on the previous afternoon. Receipt estimated for -Monday at 50 carloads, was a weakenlne factor. The oats market ODened with a firmer tone and orders auite plentiful, but thi strength lasted only a short time, for with the corn market weakened, oats followed. and at the end of the session prices were considerably lower. The decline was also helped by liberal offerings and a rathpr tame demand. At the opening the decline commenced and 294c wa3 the lowest price reacnea. mat price was Did at the close. Provisions were strong. There was verv little disposition to sell short. The deliveries on September contracts were Insig10,000. and the price quoted from the yards "- i.tciuia iui int; ua.y were s.ioweu aoout 10c aavance in their price, nlfUnf in the nHvano Viwr ml I i for both September and January and closed worth $13.95 for both deliveries, being an improvement of from 124c in September to 2C in January, jara closed with .10c gain in September and .03c in January.

A Dime Vni rineed on. the Demi Mnn'i Eye to Vny the Ferryman. New York Morning Advertiser. There is not a more interesting study than the superstitions of the human race. The persistence of certain venerable myths, and their reappearance in every age and among every people, is a subject about which whole books have been written. Friday evening ther? was a little incident in the West Thirtieth-street polic station which illustrated this admirably. A colored man who lives in one of the tenements west of the station house had died suddenly during the afternoon, presumably of heart disease. As is generally done in cases of that sort, the body was removed to the police station to be viewed by the coroner, and it was laid out in the gallery leading to the cells. The dead man was a leading citizen la the Thirtieth-street negro colony, and, hs one admiring friend put it, "There wasn't no better kals'mlner in New York dan what he was." All his friends and acquaintances, besides a great many people who had never known him but were morbidly curious to see the dead body lying there ori the gallery, . thronged int'i the station house and begged permission to "go out anl look at de corpse." Fully one hundred negro men, women and children must have filed out to the cells before the sergeant got tired of the monotonous requests and declined to let acy more people see th? body t One of the first men "who entered the station house was a big coal-black negro, who had known the late kalsomlner iiulmately. He. looked sentimentally at the body of his dead friend, snaking his head n ournfully the while, and then he produced a dime from the pocket of his overalls, which he placed carefully upon the closed lei: eye of tho dead man. "What's that for?" asked a policeman who stood by. "OX dafs to carry him across d? rlbber ob Jordan, boss." replied tile big negro. "H' couldn't git across nohow widout he had dat dime on he eyelids." And when the body was taken back again to the man's home the bearers were very careful not to disturb the bit of silver over the man's eye. To-day he will be buried, and when tne collln is lowered Into the ground the last ctlice his friends can perform will be to make sure ihat the dime is still in lt3 placa over the left eye. This negro superstition is precisely that of the ancient Greeks ami Romans. Christianity ha3 succeeded IVganism. and the river Jordan has succeeded the river Styx. But just as the old Romans us?d to put a penny on th? eyes of iheir dead friends In order that the mythical ferryman Cnaron might have his fare for carrying the departed soul across the Styx, so the big negro in the police station covered the eye of his friend with a piece of silver "to pay for crossin' de Jordan." " POINTS OX ADVERTISING. IIotv If Ii Done and How It Pn Merclmntn Are Inlerewled in Thl. Printer's Ink. The customers attracted to the store of a merchant who keps an ad running usually keep him running. The man who never reads the advertisements In the raiis deo?nt read the editorial or news ma,ur. tither. The value of a display ad. like that of a suit of clothes or a hen depends a good deal on the set of it. , Whether the advertisements of the future will be Tead more by design than by accident depends upon the men who write them. It has been noticed that the most persistent solicitor of advertising patronage is frequently the newspaper publisher who refuses to make a detailed statement of his circulation. If the "situation wanted" ads had as many interested leaders as those in the "help wanted" columns, the number of men out of employment In All of the large cities would be -oniderab!y reduced.
