The total sales of stocks on 'Change at New York Saturday were only 53,613 shares. The market was Irregular and unsettled on a very small volume of business, but became fairly steady toward the close. The Rood showing made by St. Paul In Its annual report induced buying by Ixmdon and the local traders which resulted in an advance of ; per cent., of which only U was lost at the close. Burlington advanced at the opening, receded 34, recovered the loss and reacted . closing unchanged on the day.

Henry Clews, of New York, in his financial circular, says of operations In Wall street last week: "As Indicated in our last advices, the slight reaction In prices of stocks in the last week of August has been followed during the past week by a general recovery of tone and an advance In quotations. This Is evidence that the market has not lost the confidence Inspired by the settlement of the tariff and the consequent general rsvlval of business. The improved tone In merchandise markets and the presence in the leading markets of buyers of goods representing all parts of the country finds a ready response in Wall street; the more o as the railroads already show the effects of the revival in an Increase of earnings. "The general outlook Is lnterpret?d as favoring a continuance of the present symptoms of recovery. Everywhere there is a scarcity of goods, and the current unprecedentrdly low scale of prices encouraRtS buying. Aier twelve months contraction of purchases, alike by traders and consumers, a consldenbie replenishment of pupplies seems inevitable. Th? buying may be conservative and consumption mav rosibly run largely upon the lower grades of goods, but. in any case, the machinery of business has now received a new impetus, and there is no reason why it should not teadily recover its accustomed, movement. "It may be that the recovery in the Industries or In some of them will somewhat lag behind the moviment In commercial operations, for th?re is reason to fear that manufacturers are contending against the difficulty of an excess of plant, and for that reason they may find ground for comxdalnt until their capacity for production becomes better adjusted to the demand for products. To reach that adjustment there must b2 on the one side an Increase In the buying- ability of consumers, and. on the other, the permanent disuse of plant which has failed to ketp pace with the mirch of economy in production. For these and other reasons we maj not b2 warranted In expecting any immediate boom in trade; but we may legitimately anticipate the wholesome process of recovery that comes from a revision of the conditions of production and distribution. Such a rcvllor. Is calculated to encourage confidence in InveaCr.ents: and If it fails tc Induce expansion In industrial outlays, it to the same extent encourages investments in already existing securities. "The general situation of investments eems to favor a steady rise in the value of railroad securities. From causes conr.cted with the excels of manufacturing plant above rfirred to there may very os:b!y be, for some time to come, a Sheck upon the flow of new capital Into the Industries. The tendency of the moment.

Indeed, Is rather towards the consolidation of the several sepirate capitals of important trades Into a single great monopoly for controlling the effects of excessive production and consequent competition. This, for the moment, at least, directly tends to divert the increasing vealth of the country from industrial u3S and forces it into other forms of investment. Railroads are the more calculated to attract this diverted capital, because they are becoming less and les exposed to competition from the creation of new companies and the construction of new line. Experience is improving their methods of operation; public opinion is forcing upon them greater Integrity of management; the current wholesale reorganization of large companies is not only weeding out the weak spots in their finances, but also exhibiting the necessity for more conservative capitalization and a Ktricter accountability of managers: while the decline In the cost of supplies and In wages is conducive to greater economy of operation. Thete facts should make railroad stocks and bonds more acceptable to those who. for the time being, find some other forms of corporate Investment surrounded by doubts arising from unsettled industrial conditions. For this reason, we expect to find the values of railroad securities steadily sustained by a growing Investment demand, and regard them as oo-l purchase whether on speculation or for permanent holding. "The gross earnings of railroads continue to make increasingly favorable comparisons with this period of last year, when the depression of business had not produced its full effect upon transportation, and when earnings were swelled by the world's fair. For the four weeks of June some eventy-five to eighty lines showed a decline, averaging about 20 per cent., froiw. im: an.l. owing to the Debs strike, the decrease for the first week of July was over 22 per cent. From that date to the third week of July the decline diminished to 12.Y) per cent., showincr the effect of the breaking up of the strike; and for the last week of that month the decrease was less than 2 per cent. August opened with a m?rely fractional falling off. and the third week of that month showed an increase over last year of 3i per cent. It Is to be noted, however, that August of 1893 showed a decline of 13 per cent, as compared with 1892, but the traffic of that month two vears ago was larg? beyond all precedent. Under all the circumstances, therefore, the current drift of earnings must be regarded as assuring." Suturdny' Hank Clearings. ST. LOUIS.

In most lines merchants speak of trade in the week closing Sept. 8 as having been an Improvement over either of several preceding week?. Fluctuations In values have been fewer and a better feeling all round prevails. The week closes with eggs, poultry and butter all weak and lower prices Indicated. In the vegetable line receipts are not so large and commission men are getting some better prices. Choice peaches and apples have been on the market the last few days and brought very fair . prices, still not so good as at the corresponding period last year. Grocers had .a good business all week, sugars firm and advancing and coffees easier. Dry-goods houses and millinery establishments had more business last week than in any week of the last three months, and the boot and shoe houses have been busier the last few days. In the local grain market it was an off week. Attendance on 'Change was i:ot so large as for some time previous and the bidding tame.

No Large Cities, but 10.' 5 Arc Distributed Through the State. Kansas City Star. Kansas has 103 cities with a population in excess of 1.000. seven cities which have more than 10,000 people and four which exceed the 20.000 mark. The largest town in the Sttte Kansas City has 42.646. Topeka has 30.724. WrIchita 21.619 and Leavenworth 20,466. There are no great cities In Kansas. It has a big urban population, but instead of being centralized in a few points it is scattered throughout a larg? number of towns and cities. There Is a village In almost every railroad crossing in Kansas. This 'Attribution Is Incident to the economic conditions which prevail in that S ate, and follows out a natural law. The chief industry in Kansas Is agriculture. This makes a multiplicity of smaller towns a necessity. They serve as trading and shipping points, and ar' a prime convenience to the farmer. This distribution of the people is conducive to their material and moral welfare. In the country towns of Kansas vice is reduced to the minimum, and there is a very small percentage of poverty. It is in the great enters of population that pauperism and cr.me find their favorite -haunts. This rule holds good. In a modified sense, even in Kansas. It Is In the larger cities of the State that violations of the law are most frequent. The history of prohibition has proved this in a conspicuous manner. While the experiment of wiping out the liquor traffic by legislation has proved a success, practically speaking, in a great majority of the towns in Kansas, there has been a constant disposition in the larger places to violate the law secretly or openly and to defy in restrictions. But the preponderance of friendly sentiment toward it in the moral districts has upheld the policy of prohibition in Kansas, and has maintained it by the force of circumstances and conditions which ire peculiar to that State. It Is obvious that the character of the Kansas people has been largely influenced bv the distribution of its population. Every town In the State, however small, is a sort of an ntellectual center. It has its school, in many Instances a library, and always places where books and papers can be purchased. by the farmers. In no other State do the people learn so much by attrition as they d) ln Kansas. They are brought into close contact and thus they absorb knowledge from each othr. This intimate association, which is unknown in the large cities, develops the social instinct and exerts a wholesome influence in the progress of character building. Thus the average Kansan reveals a -hearty personality, with a keen human interest in things about him and shrewd knowledge of men and evervday aflairs. The effect of all this is beneficial in respect - to morals and mental growth, and the result as wrought out in the hiJtory of Kansas is highly gratifying. That Mate has every reason in the world to be proud of its liberal quota of enterprising, towns and villages, which afford many of the advantages of metropolitan cities without their drawbacks a,nd evil influence.

AVI 1 EAT HELD IP IIV GOOD 1ULL NEWS IDtSTItIOrSLY HANDLED. Corn Gained Zl-Sc lit the- Clone. Oats Advanced nnd Provision Were Firm nnd nt Better Prices. CHICAGO. Sept. 8. The Board of Trade markets to-day were dull, but firm. Wheat was sustained by the talk of that grain for feed, and corn advanced on the expectation of a bullish government crop report. December wheat closed sC higher, September corn c higher and September oats ic higher. Provisions finished with modest advances. The wheat market opened firm. Foreign markets were rather easier and receipts here and In the Northwest continued to show a tendency toward diminishing. Chicago received 244 cars. Minneapolis reported 382 and Duluth 176, or 55S in all, compared with 615 at both places a year ago. Bradstreet made the clearances of wheat and flour for the week 3,207,ou0 bu, against 3,420,000 bu the week before. The clearances from the Atlantic ports for twenty-four hours amounted to 4SO.0OO bu. The total of the primary market receipts were still in the aggregate, close to the one million bushel mark. Business was very light. The sustaining Influences were the indications given by the light Northwestern receipts of a much lighter crop of spring wheat than many had calculated on. and of the confirmation coming to hand of the increasing use of winter wheat for feed. The opening prices of December was 57c. it advanced from that to 575570 and closed at 57Uc Attention was drawn to the fact of the shipments of wheat at Chicago, Duluth and Toledo exceeding the receipts today. The corn market was very ragged and Irregular, tut with an upward tendency for the most part and an improvement established at the close of about c per bu. The effect of the Kussian barley importations had apparently exhausted itself, and it was altogether discredited in some quarters. There was a healthy demand for the speculative offerings of corn here In view of the expectation of the government crop repurt,.which win be Ifsuci on ' Monday, showing a further heavy deterioration in the condition since a month ago. September, which closed yesterday at 6tic, opened at from 564c to 568c, advanced to 57,c and closed at 57c bid. May started at 54-8j56c. advanced to 55;c, reacted to 55c and closed at 55ic. iieceipts here to-day were 367 cars, and there were 347,000 inspected out of store. Business in the oats market was fairly active. There was a fair disposition to trade both ways, but sales were mostly scattered and local. Fluctuations were -KainA,2fluericed by corn. September ranged from 29?8c to 30c and ended at 30Uc bid. Provisions were strong on a moderate business. The revival of the bullish spirit of the grain markets helped prices somewhat, and hog reclepts, present and prospective, were light. The day's run was good, and fcr all next week 100.000 are the estimated arrivals.

Don Carlos is once more before the public, this time as an applicant to the French republic for permission to epend a few davs in Paris, wnere his newly wedded wife, nee Princess' de Rohan, wishes to do a little chopping. The Pretender only aska lor a -week, and pledges himself to do nothing calculated in any way to offend either the French government or to create difficulties between It and the Spanish authorities. Don Carlos was. expelled by the French police seven years ago, and was forbidden to return in consequence of his having made use of the hospitality accorded to him by the Frerh government to create trouble with Spain. . His exile from France differs therefore ftom that decreed again?t the Duke of Orleans and his father and against Prince Victor Napoleon, for whereas these three were banished a pretenders to the French throne, Don Carlos Is simply denied admission to French territory in deference to Spain's susceptibilities. It is possible that his request may be accorded by President Casimir-Perrier, although the latter has regarded the application of sufficient importance to submit It to the consideration of his council of Ministers and to quety the Spanish government before venturing to give reply. Should Don Carlos and his wife, the Duchess of Madrid, receive the assent of the authorities to their coming I venture to doubt whether they will tay with the Princess Benlamin Rohan at her min?lon In the Rue des Bas3ins, for the Princess in question, far from being young and charming. Is the elderly widow either of a patent-medlclne manufacturer or of an, artificial manure man. I forgot which, who married the disreptable Prince Benjamin merely for the fake of his name and title. In return for which she mikes him an allowance of $10." a year.. Prince Benjamin is in every sense-of the word the black sheep of the Rohan farrily. At Vienna he used to be known by the name of "Baby Rohan." although big. lat and burly. His follies were of such a character that tn Austrian capital became too hot to hold him. and this led to his being disowned by the head of his house. He came to this country hoping to make a wealthy marriage, but met with hard luck and finally wound up as a restaurant waiter in New York, where he subsisted during the latter part of his pojourn on thy earnings of a fellow-knight of the napkin who had been rem as a ptisan t on the grand old Rohan estates of S'.chrow. in Bohemia, and. therefore, considered it a privilege to be permitted to act a a henchman to a member of his signeurial family. A couple of yeirs ag thit Is to say, since his present marriage he was condemned by the Paris tribunals to four months' Imprisonment for the illegal detention of two valuable paintings by Tenter, which had been intrusted to him by a deaier named i'oUcki in connection with some money-lending transaction. He hubsequently returned the futures, wherua the sentence was Quashed.
