Decline in Money Rn ew and Favornble Railroad Statement*— Local / BuMineMM Shown Depression. At New York, yesterday, money on call was easier at per cent.; last loan, 2, closing at 1%#2 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4'§4 , / 4 per cent. Sterling exchange was steady, with actual business in bankers’ bills at $4.85%(§4.86 for demand and at $4.!>2%'&4.83 for sixty days; posted rates, $4-%}Wu 4-86%; commercial bills, $4-82. Silver certificates, 57<&58c; bar silver, 58c; Mexican dollars, 44%c. At London bar silver closed steady at 27%d an ounce. Total sales of stocks were 246,700 shares, including: Atchison preferred, 3,305; Chesapeake & Ohio, 4,715; Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, 22,989; Louisville & Nashville, 5,995; Missouri Pacific, 5,540; Missouri, Kansas & Texas preferred, 3,115; New York Central, 6,151; Northern Pacific preferred, 9,235; Rock Island, 7,895; St. Paul, 18,499; Union Pacific, 60,910; Bay State Gas, 14,100; Chicago Gas, 16,015; Sugar, 15,701; Chicago Great Western, 3,800. Trading in stocks during the early part of yesterday was restricted in volume and the fluctuation in prices on New York ’Change was narrow and irregular. The latter part of the day saw quite an increase In activity and a rise of prices to the highest of the day, the declines before the close being small. Union Pacific continued to be the center of interest in the market and ruled above Monday’s close all day and closed at near the best and 2*4 above Monday night’s close. The opening gain was due largely to sympathy with London, which sent a higher quotation for the stock. The belief gained ground as the day advanced that the government and the reorganization committee would come to an agreement on the basis of the committee’s expressed intention to bid the full amount of the government’s claim on the main line. The fact, that this bid leaves the government’s claim of over $13,006,000 on the Kansas Pacific unprovided for and the rumors that increased bids might be made by other Interests which would provide for this indebtedness caused some feverishness fn the speculation at times, as the acceptance of such a bid by the government would endanger the whole plan of reorganization, In spite of the assertion of the committee that it was prepared to carry it out, even if the government should bid in the Pacific. But late in the day reports from Washington assumed quite definite form that the Cabinet had resolved to accept the committee's intended bid as a minimum guarantee and withdraw its request for a postponement of foreclosure sale of the main fine. A fall of y 2 points in the price of the Kansas Pacific consol sixes, trust receipts, w*as the forecast of the news received later from Washington that the committee’s agreement with the government included an assent to a postponement of the Kansas Pacific sale, presumably with a view to giving the government an opportunity to secure a bid on this property that Would pcovide for a part or the whole of its claim. As the chances of a separate bid on the Kansas Pacific are considered remote the price of the consol sixes rallied 4 per cent, and closed at 92. Trading in Union Pacific absorbed over a quarter of the total sales of all slocks. Outside of the grangers. Sugar, Chicago Gas and Bay State Gas business was of very small proportions. The tone of the market was strong, however, and material recoveries from Monday’s declines were made averaging about a point in the grangers and other leading stocks. Bay State Gas was weak. A decline in rates for call money and some very favorable statements of railroad earnings for the third week in October assisted the recovery. There were purchases for London account of some of the favorite international stocks incident to the settlement day on the London Exchange. This served to keep up the price of Louisville, in spite of the continued decrease in its earnings on account of yel-low-fever quarantine. Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis was active and strong and rose at one time 2 per cent., but reacted slightly. Michigan Central was conspicuous for an advance of 2%. The better tone for Americans in London was taken as reflecting a decline of apprehenion over the Spanish relations with the United States.

Healings in railway bonds were not large, but the tone was firm, with the exception of the Kansas Pacific bonds above noted. Total sales were $1,150,000. United States new fours were advanced % bid; Faciflc sixes of '99, 106; Mobile & Ohio fours, 70%; P. & R. G. M. fives, 84; Norfolk & Western consol fours, 77; Norfolk & Western preferred stock, 42%.

The weather is detrimental to a brisk fall trade. In several fines it is quite apparent. Dry goods, hat and cap dealers and boot and shoe merchants are the greatest losers by the unseasonable temperature. Prices in the main rule steady and firm, and while no marked advances have been established, prices have been well maintained and are really firm in the line of staple groceries, hardware, iron, produce and most descriptions of hog products. On Commission row prices are well held on good stock, but Inferior goods sell low. The local market is largely supplied with fruits and vegetables and a considerable per cent, of the goods are purchased outright by the commission men. Especially is this true as regards apples. Mexican oranges are now on the market at $5 a box. Lemons are plentiful and cheap. Eggs, poultry and butter are all steady at quotations. Receipts are quite liberal. The local grain market shows a little more activity than last week, with something of an increase in receipts.

General Neal Dow, of Maine( was so persistent and vigorous a fighter for prohibition that of late years his reputation has overshadowed that of many other earnest workers in the cause, and people have especially overlooked the work of the real father of the Maine liquor law and perhaps the earliest public advocate in this country of the principle of prohibition, Gen. Janies Appleton, who was born at Ipswich, Mass., in 1786, and died there in 1862. This has been the case to such an extent that in the official report of the Centennial temperance convention held in Philadelphia in 1885 (a volume of about 650 pages entitled “One Hundred Years of Temperance,” and meant to be a complete history of the temperance movement in this country) no mention was made of General Appleton. The omission stirred General Appleton’s son to action, and he hunted up the records in the matter. General Appleton won his military title by leading a regiment of Federal soldiers against England in the war of 1812. Later he settled near Marblehead, Mass., and soon became absorbed in the anti-slavery movement and the suppression of the liquor traffic. His convictions upon the liquor question came upon him as a sudden revelation—so he declared to his family—while he was listening to an earnest debate in the Massachusetts Legislature in 1831. Doubtful whether the public mind was ready for the most radical measure, he prepared a petition to the Massachusetts Legislature praying that the sale of liquor in any quantity less than thirty gallons should be forbidden by law. There was no effort to conceal the hope of the petitioner that the proposed limitation would take from most people all chance to get drunk. The petition awoke at once the opposition of the temperance people, and it was denounced in print by the Rev. Mr. Hildreth, agent for the Massachusetts Temperance Society, and others. Mr. Hildreth declared in the Salem Mercury of Feb. 15, 1832, that he could not determine whether the petition was the work of friends or enemies of the temperance cause. General Appleton answered his critics in letters, in one of which, printed in the Salem Gazette, Feb. 28. 1832, he first proposed an absolutely prohibitive law. It is upon these letters and the petition which provoked them that General Appleton’s friends and family base their assertion that he was the first man in this country to publicly advocate the prohibition by law of the sale or manufacture of ardent spirits. The petition failed for want of signatures, and no action was taken upon it. The following year General Appleton removed to that hotbed of radicalism. Portland, Me., where ne lived for twenty years. In 1836 he w*as elected a member of the Maine Legislature, and that winter an opportunity came to him of putting into official form his ideas upon the liouor traffic, w'hen a petition regarding the license laws was referred to a joint committee of the two houses, of which he was made chairman. The report made by the committee in 1837 was written by General Appleton, and in it all the arguments that he had urged five years before were repeated. The report was in favor of a prohivitive law without qualifications. Thus General Appleton suggested in 1837 the law which was enacted in 1851 through the efforts of Neal Dow and his followers. In “Appleton’s Cyclopedia of American Biography” General Appleton is called a “temperance reformer.” and his right to this recognition is set forth thus: “By his speeches and publications he exercised great influence upon public opinion in favor of abolition and total abstinence. In his report to the Maine Legislature In 1837 he was the first to expound the principle embodied in the Maine law.” In the sketch of the life of General Neal Dow in the same w'ork this passage occurs: “He (General Dow) became the champion of the prelect for the prohibition of the liquor traffic, which was first advocated by James Appleton in his report to the Maine Legislature in 1837, and in various speeches while a member of that body. Through Mr. Dow’s efforts while he was mayor (of Portland) the Maine liquor law prohibiting under severe penalties the sale of intoxicating beverages was passed In 1851.” Tlie Luetitert Trial.

"Perhaps,” she added, with withering scorn, “you would like to have me remove my small bones, as well?” “Wh-what do you mean?” stammered the poor man. “I mean, John Henry Beasley,” snapped his better half, "that you can’t come any of your sausage vat experiments with me, 85;d you’d better not try it.” Building Permit*.

WHEAT'S QUICK CHANGE ♦ FIRMER MARKET AND PRICES CLOSED 1 1-2 C HIGHER ON THE DAY. a Corn and Oat* Advance Fraction* on Sympathy with tlie LeaderProvision* Declined. * — CHICAGO, Oct. 26.—Wheat changed front on several occasions to-day, but December was l%c higher at the end of a wobbly session. May, how’ever, was only %c higher. There was considerable closing out of short December contracts and taking on of May to account for this. Approaching cold weather and the small Northwest movement were features in the general strength. Com closed %c higher in sympathy with wheat, and oats advanced Provisions were heavy and declined about 7%c. Wheat was weak for about ten minutes after the opening, and then, without anything outside of the condition of the local speculation, it became firm and advanced l%c from the lowest point. The trading during that time was chiefly in December, and to that future was confined the advance. The opening weakness was because of a further %and decline at Liverpool and plentiful rains in Nebraska and Kansas. On tho other hand, receipts were light. Chicago received 196 cars, against 387 a year ago, and Minneapolis and Duluth reported 997 cars, compared with 1,130 a week ago and 1,618 cars the corresponding week of last year. Tho quantity inspected out of store was 162,000 bu, and of the day’s receipts only eleven carloads were contract. One feature of the day’s trading which had a marked effect on final figures was the disposition to cover December shorts in wheat and to put them out for May, and as a result of this the spread between those two months widened to 2%c. The contract stocks for the w*eek at Chicago show an increase of only 50,000 bu. Clearances from Atlantic ports were equal in wheat and flour to 645,000 bu, and reports from the Northwest were again quite bullish in respect of the falling off in farmers’ deliveries at country stations. A weakening feature during the forenoon was a reported decline at continental markets, hut when the public cablegrams giving the close at Paris and Antwerp came to hand it was found that reductions wore not as heavy as had been privately reported. The rain in Kansas and elsewhere of the day before was said to be spreading in this direction, but it was to be accompanied, or immediately succeeded, by much colder weather. This augured no good to the belated crop, and caused some buying. The receipts at primary markets wore very close to the quantity on the same date the year before. To-day there were 1 .’"lcS tWO bu; last year, 1,173,000 bu. Bradreet’s report of the world’s visible made an Increase since last week of 4,313,000 bu, 1,913,000 bu of it on this side and 2,400,000 bu in and afloat for Europe. That caused one of the weak spots In the day’s markets, hut the bearish impression as to it was of short duration. The market grew’ quite strong towards the close. St. Louis reported that all the contract wheat there, about a quarter of a million bu, had been ordered. The local crowd had got short, and when it attempted to cover there was very little for sale. December opened about unchanged at from to 93%c and declined to 93c. It rose afterwards to 94%c, fell back to 93 J 4c and near the close rolled up again to closing at 94%7i94V&C. May ranged from 90%c to 91%c and closed at 91%c. The gain for the day in December was lc and so- May only per bu. Corn was very dull, and the slight fluctuations of the day were caused principally by the movements of the w’heat market. As the latter was firm in the end so was corn, which closed with a net gain of %c. The predicted cold weather caused some buying on the theory that it would check the country movement. Receipts were 531 cars. Cables were 44.0%d lower. December ranged from 2c?®26c to 25%0 and closed at 25%c. Oats were firm, partially through sympathy with wheat and corn, hut mostly on account of the excellent cash demand. This sustained the market even during the weak spots in other grains. Elevator concerns w€re good buyers. The visible increased 821.000 bu. Receipts. 640 cars. December ranged from lß%c to 18@18%c, closing about y 4 c higher at 18%e. Provisions were heavy from the same cause that has been weighing on the market for a long time past. Too many hogs was one of the reasons, and yellow fever was, al?o. a continuing scare cry of the bear traders. The Cudahy9 were sellers, particularly of January ribs. Offerings were not heavy, as a rule, but there was no demand. At the close December pork was 7*4c lower at $7.75. Deeemher lard about 7%c lower at and December ribs 714 c lower at $4.45.

IJry Gooih. NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—The dry goods market Is quiet in nil lines again this week. It was hoped that an increase in interest in some grades would be noticed, but so far this has failed to materialize. The lack of seasonable weather has undoubtedly had much to do with the current dullness, but the reticence of tuvers is also attributed in no small degree to the current belief that the low price of cotton gives manufacturers of cotton goods an opportunity to make money at current prices, and that there will be many' opportunities to purchase before prices are advanced. Woolen goods, on the other hand, are well supported and the utmost confidence is evinced by sellers as to the future of the woolen goods trade. The demand for seasonable goods is well sustained. In staple cottons the local firsthand market is still dull. Print cloths remain inactive at the low prive prevailing—2%c. Oils.

The cake walk proper had its origin among the French negroes of Louisiana more than a century ago. There is little doubt that it is an offshoot of some of the old French country dances. It resembles several of them In form. From New Orleans it spread ofer the entire South, and thence North. It was found of convenience to the plantation negroes. They were not wedded by license, and it was seldom that the services of a preacher were called In. At a cake walk a man might legitimately show his preference for a woman, and thus publicly claim her for his wife. In effect the cake walk was not different from the old Scotch marriage, which required only public acknowledgment from the contracting parties. So this festival became In some sense a wooing, an acceptance or rejection and a ceremony. This explains its popularity with the blacks, outside of its beauties, with the accompaniment of music, which Is competent at all times to command negro support. Cake walking has Improved. as do most things that are constantly practiced. It has lost its old significance in the South. Negroes now get married, when they marry at all. in white folks’ fashion. It has become, however, a pantomime dance. Properly performed, it Is a beautiful one. The cake Is not much of a prize, though the negro has a sweet tooth. Rnlwlnw the Wind In France. New York Tribune. The Frepch government, finding Itself unable to Increase the taxation, which Is heavier per capita in France than In ajiy other country of the world, has decided to resort to the conversion of Its treasury bonds or rentes from 3 per cent, to 2H as the easiest and, Indeed, the only available means of Increasing the revenues of the state. The ground is taken that as the national credit is such that the government h is recently been able to secure temporary loans at 1% per cent., the Interest charge on treasury bonds Is far too high, and that

That the latter should stand so high is surprising, when it is remembered that, although in the last twenty-six years France’s population hus only increased by 298.000 inhabitants, or at the rate of about 11,500 a year (Lugland having doubled her* in the last forty years), the consolidated national debt of France has grown from $3,000.000,000 to $7,u00,000.000. while the taxation, both direct and indirect, has more than doubled.
