SMALL STOCK TRADING STRONG ATTEMPTS TO HAMMER PRICES MET WITH ILL SUCCESS.' Money on Call Wan Hid Up to 12 Per Cent, for n Time Local Markets 'Qalet and Steady. At New York yesterday money on call was firm at 34 per cent.; last loan, 4; closing offered at 3. Prime mercantile paper, 7?S8 per cent. Sterling exchange was heavy, with actual business in bankers' bills at $1.8404.84 for demand and $4.824.S26 for sixty days; posted rates, $4.S2'2?14.84 and $4.S54.86; commercial bills, $4.81. -J Silver certificates, (w'iGGc; bar silver, VwbC. At London bar silver closed at 30',id per ounce. The total of stocks were 111,527 shares, Including the following: American Tobacco, 12,700; American Sugar, 14,(XJ0; Burlington. & Quincy. ll.OW; Louisville & Nashville, 4,100; Manhattan Consolidated, 10,800; Reading, 10,000; St. Paul, 12,000; sliver certificates, $7,000. The speculation in stocks was of the 'scantiest proportions yesterday and the movement from more than one point of view appeared to indicate that the bears were attempting to force prices down, with considerable care as to extending thHr outstanding contracts. Some of the bull leaders expressed willingness to permit a further reaction of a few points, but say that holders of securities are displaying great tenacity. One sample of bear strategy waj the circulation of a report that a leading stock 'commission house had refused to carry stocks on margin ,over the next thirty days, but the report was quickly denied by a member of the firm. Another adroit move was played in the last hour, when money on call was bid up to an extreme 12 per cent. Very large offers almost immediately forced the rate down to 3 per cent., and the closing quotation was ottered at 3 per cent. A moderate influence legitimately causing a slight firmness in money is the payment of taxes on a continued heavy scale. The money is, however,, redeposped each day by New York city. This weet the municipality will begin paying off its revenue bonds, and the disbursements this month and next will run tip considerably into the millions. An important favorable development was a further weakening in foreign exchange rates, actual demand falling to $4.84. Several leading houses are understood to be figuring on gold imports, but no actual hew arrangements have been yet reported. Aside from the factors referred to there was no news of importance bearing on prices and the meager transaction by a distinct professional imprint. The failure of London to respond to the improvement that had prevailed at the closing of Monday excited a chilling influence at the outset. The bearB were encouraged to test the market, and prices receded fractionally all around. Supporting" orders appeared at the low points, and a slightly higher range resulted. Manhattan and Sugar were in the greatest lequest, chiefly by the bears, and gained Vfa and 1 per cent., resnectIvely. Covering induced fractional " improvements in other shares. Renewed depression soon occurred, however, although the firmness of some of the high-priced shares excited comment. Tobacco, in particular, advanced 2 per cent, to 67. The list as a whole sagged in the afternoon, but the losses did not exceed fractions except in Manhattan, which sold off 1 and Tobacco 114 per cent, from the respective high points. The closing was weak, at general fractional net declines. Railroad bonds were fairly active, but were without especial feature, aside from Hocking Valley sixes, which jumped 5 per cent, to SS. The sales were $1,528,000. Government bonds ruled firm on purchases of $25,000. Silver certificates were a shade easier, on sales of $7,000. The following table, rirenared hv I.. W.

On the wholesale streets. '.enerday, despite the fact that a i.art of the day it rained, trade was Quite active. Low rates brought In a good many retail merchfints. The chief complaint with the wholesale men is that the retail merchants pursue po much of a hand-to-mouth policy in their purchases that to sell what was once called a good bill Is an exception. Stocks of all kinds ara low and merchant need the goods, but they luy cautiously even In such goods as people must have. In prices there were no Important changes. In rome lines the tendency is to hlsher prices, but it 1 not so pronounced as to move prices up materially. Choice fruits are a shade hifc-her. Irish potatoes are firmer. Eggs are in good re

quest at the quotation given. Poultry, on large receipts, is weaker irt pHce. Holdings of grapes are large and prices esy. Cranberries are weak

er on a quiet demand- uruggists are having a good trade; so are leather dealers. Still, in all lines there is rcom for improvement to reach the average of October business of years past.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: You, Mr. Bryan, are approaching the borders of the great State of Indiana, where schoolhouses abound the State that honors the memory of the loyal and liberty-loving Oliver P. Morton. When you cross the Ohio and enter Indiana on your oratorical hobbyhorse, don't fall into the delusion that all who assemble to see and hear you believe in your fallacies or accept your assertions. Don't tell us that "seventy millions of people ought to be able to govern themselves." We know that the people of the United States have been governing themselves ever since the day that Cornwallis surrendered. When you touch upon this subject you recall unpleasant memories; for instance, just before your genius was given to the world in 1860 when we were only thirty-five millions, some men with your peculiar ideas of government and with views on the rights of States, and who would quibble over a 'oovernor's too delicate sense of misguided etiquette, shot at the stars and stripes "Old Glory" down in Charleston harbor. Result: Four years of civil war at an expense of three hundred thousand lives, and an outlay of six bi'lion, five hundred million of dollars, but we emerged from the test a nation with a big N., and the people went on governing themselves. Don't forget that all the opposition that has arisen against the policy of "a government of the people, for the people and by the people," has originated in j-our party, and by men of your views, as expressed daily from the rostrum, the balcony, the platform and the rear end of the railroad train. Men who originated and who advocate the doctrines embodied in the Chicago platform. The Debs rebellion is of such recent occurrence that you are familiar with its details, and here the peculiar ideas of government held by yourself and others prevailed to such an extent that the "government of the seventy millions" was defied in such a manner that the frenzied leader thought he had broken its power. Debs telegraphed to Grover Cleveland. President of the United States, to come to Chicago and confer with him. Not once, but twice, did such a message go over the wires, and, all honor to President Cleveland and his supporter, Olney, not since Grant at Appomattox has so much luster been shed upon, the stars and stripes as by their loyal support of the. Constitution at that crisis. The prompt action of the government in suppressing the rebellion and mildly dealing with the leaders for disobeying the injunction of the courts seems to rankle in the bosoms of the authors of the Chicago platform, and the injunction, plank was introduced. Don't tell our Indiana farmers and citizens as you have told the people of the eastern States that "our opponents call them Anarchists." because we say the Chicago platform smells of Anarchy, and you say in your speeches that you indorse every plank of it. Don't plax on our innocence, or presume upon our ignorance by giving us "the crime of '73." We all know who voted for the measure, and the men who howl the most were the criminals themselves. Dont! Please don't give us the hog story. Don't give us the sick baby story and don't protest against the issue of bonds by the President you helped to elect on a platform, the policy of which made the bond issue necessary, namely, a tariff for revenue only. Don't try to mislead the Hoosiers on your record during the Cleveland campaign. Don't give us the "lack of confidence" buffoonery that you have given to other people. If you want a practical object lesson try to borrow a thousand dollars from any source in our State real estate mortgage security with a note made payable in gold or its equivalent. No confidence "goes;" only business, on a cash, sound money basis. You have helped bring about this condition. Mr. Bryan, with your short-dollar fallacy. Don't try to make the Indiana farmers and laboring men believe that it is a good thing for them, to coin the mine owner's bullion, worth 63 cents an ounce, into dollars, and then pass a law compelling the said farmers and laboring men to accept it as pay for their produce and labor at $1.29 per ounce. Don't fail to give us the "teetcr-board story." that will please the children, and remind everyone of their childhood days, boy oratory, etc. Don't try to scare us with fhe "England gold-standard-slaves of Gre.-.t Britain" nonsense, and remember there are other nations on a gold basis besides Great Britain, and that it is more desirable ;'or the United States to stand with them on a soundmoney basis than to adopt free silver and repudiation and line up with China, Japan and Ir""'. Don't forget that when you went t- hool two of the first precepts that wen taught in your copybook were "Honesty is the best policy" and "A man is known by the company he keeps." Don't take the people of the United States for gudgeons; they have not forgotten your promises four years ago. SON OF A VETERAN. Indianapolis, Oct. 3. Beginning;! in Art. Chicago Post. In Boston I know a young man who hung about the art schools till he was twentylive without earning a penny toward his own support. His father was a decent. honest barber.

WHEAT ON THE UP GRADE

PRICES JUMPED '2 CEXTS YESTERDAY, CLOSING 1 1-4C HIGHER. Foreisrn Enjutgrenient of Cargoes) Cause Shorts to Take Frijsht Provisions Firmer. CHICAGO, Oct. 6. Wheat made a jump of "c in the first hour's trading to-day, emphasizing the fact that foreign news is watched closely. It was decidedly bullish to-day, but profit taking pulled prices down again, December closing at an advance of l'ic Corn benefited slightly, closing higher. Oats closed unchanged, and provisions 2Vie higher. The strength displayed by wheat at the opening was a surprise to most of the traders. December, which closed yesterday at C7c, opened at CSlt68'ic, an advance of a full cent, and in the course of forty-five minutes had steadily advanced to 69c. The strength apparently came from the Liverpool and Berlin cables, which both showed an advance Liverpool was quoted firm, but unchanged in price for spot wheat and d higher for futures. That about balances yesterday's decline in futures there. This certainly was not sufficient incentive for an initial lc advance, but a private cablegram covering a later time of the day at Liverpool quoted another i-jd advance in futures or Ids rise altogether. Then the reason for the strength began to be understood. But it was only when in the course of an hour after the opening the commission houses, who had been best buyers during that time, commenced to show some dispatches they had from the seaboard and other points, a rise to 69c for December appeared to have any justification. Some of these were enough to set the most confirmed bear trauer to thinking. One read: "Foreigners very heavy ouyers. They want the actual wheat. e just filled a buying order for a continental house for luO.Ooo bushels of October and 100,000 bushels of November delivery." Another stated that Inquiries had been made for freight tor cargoes of wheat to go to Bombay. The advance, however, was not unaccompanied by selling. A 2c advance, even in these days or rapid and large lluctuations, was very tempting, and it was taken advantage of with a vengeance, and prices gradually slid off to 69Vfcc. The Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were again heavy. The number of cars at the two places reached 1,289 against 1,182 a week ago and 1,606 on the corresponding day of last year. Bradstreet's report of the world's visible shows un increase of 3.750,000 bushels, and it had a tendency to weaken the market during the last hour. December finally rested at 69c. Corn was firm and at times strong, but In the end made only J,sc gain. The anticipated raising of rail rates from Kansas points in the near future had probably some influence in bringing buyers. Most of the strength, however, came from wheat. May opened i,c higher at 262tv?ic. advanced to 26"4c and declined to 26c, where it closed. . Oats opened firm on free buying by shorts, also by longs, who realized their ambitions when prices advanced. Sympathy with wheat also created a fair tone. Towards the close the market weakened under free offerings by the parties who purchased early. But was moderately heavy. May opened c higher at 20'4,c. advanced to 20sBc and declined to 19Tic, closing steady at that price. Provisions were firm on a moderate amount of business. Buyers were encouraged by a small run of hogs and also by the firmness displayed by the grain markets and a substantial advance followed. Prices settled back again later, the closing being at small advances. January pork closed 7V3c higher at $7.50; January lard. O.oc higher 4.25c; January ribs, 02.c higher, at 3.60c.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The article in Sunday's Issue on the, recent trial of fire engines gives the world at large to understand that the Indianapolis fire authorities estimate the capabilities of an engine entirely by its performance in a competitive test, and it is to be hoped that this impression is not the correct one. It has been found in all the fire departments worthy of being called first class that to try new stenm machinery by running it at its utmost speed for the trivial purpose of outdoing its own or another's 'work damages the engine in most cases more than years of ordinary service. Neither docs it settle the vexed question of superiority, usually because of chance conditions, such as the skill of the man in charge and the other factors which may give the one engine a temporary advantage over the other. Inquiry of the smaller cities, principally those with volunteer departments, would develop the records of many scores of these so-called competitive tests, In each of which some one engine utterly vanquished its rivals, but this adds little to ihe sum total of human knowledge, as no one machine ever gains more than its proportion of victories in spite of the extravagant claims of builders. Moreover, the country is full of crippled steam fire engines showing serious injuries or leakage dating back either to some competitive test or to a grana display given by the makers on the delivery of the apparatus to satisfy such reiics of volunteer times as belreve that an engine is designed principally to Ihrow water over church steeples. Costly experience has taught all our bestposted firemen to rely on their knowledge of the mechanical requirements of a fire engine in selecting one for purchase, and In this durability and reliability cut the largest figure. In their estimation the machine that will get out and throw water two hundred feet whenever called upon, and keep such a stream up for a week if necessary, i. worth very much more than one that will throw twice as far for exhibition and then Ik? slow to steam or out of repair when most needed. Hence with practical men exhibition tests cut no figure, and a new engine is simply inspected with great care and worked for a considerable period under the conditions which prevail in lire service, for it is well known that competitive trials are mostly tests of the expert engineers and not of the machine;. The writer is satisfied that the Indiana polls department contains many men well qualified to judge of the merits of a new engine offered for purchase in the light of their own mechanical knowledge and the experience of. their own and other cltier- As between any two machines already in service judgment should not le pronounced until there Is a chance to see the resujt of yearn of hard work, for that Is the only true criterion.
