In the railroad lit the most conrjluous eellinj? van in Missouri Pacific, a.Mhe latest stock to be subjected to unwarranted rumors to adance it. ' followed by authoritative, denials. Othf r member of the Fouthwestern. sreap fared better, notably Ft. Louis Southwestern preferred. The ChleaK & Altons und Kansas City Southerns were stronjr. Southetn Pacific continued heavy. In pplte of the decision upon the new president, the Headings were quite weak at losse of n jxdnt. There was a d!?lHtsitlcn about the exchar.jre to depreciate the excessive tendency of the speculation and the broadness of the methods employed in some quarters. The systematic and ieriodlcal dis.mlnation' cf hull canards was felt to endanger the ftabillty of a market where buying was bared cn such flimsy grounds. No Intelligible explanation Is cfTered for the larje Increase In cat reported by the banks for the week. Preliminary estimates of the chances, bart-d en statements furnished by the banks th mse.vts, and made by recojrnlzed authoritle?. had placed the probable los in caph all the way from Jl.rw.WK) ui to over T'.C.C0. The paymen, Friday, by the Eubtreasury, of drafts for H.OvO,- (.) on account of the Australian gold recently arrived irr San Franc!?co was not expected to flprure In this week's statement. The week has been one of irreat fieculativ activity In stocks, and has afforded opportunity to market very large holdings. The development of an outside demand has been accompanied by manipulation' of prices In the Interest of speculators 1cm? cf stocks. The successful efforts to get prices up have resulted in handsome profits '.a the selling to outside buyers. That many of the buyers had In view merely a speculative operation, hoping for a continued rise In prices which would offer a profit on a resale, was evident from the ?ell inj; pressure which developed on the advance, and which turned prices backwards. But the bull interests n the exchange constantly shifted their operations to new quarters of the ttock list, and kept the ppeoulatlve interest awake by developing new price movements. Nearly every day durlnjr the week brought forth publications alleging far-reaching changes In eontrol and In plan for operation of great railroad properties or allied or connecting system, with promises of colossal results In profits. Looking back over the week. It is noticeable .that these ftories have failed of confirmation, and in many instances have been conclusively denied, so that after the first unvard jump of the stock, it has fallen back In price and become comparatively uiet in the speculation. While these facts make it evident that prices have been forced up artificially, they do not necessarily detract from the value?, as a barometer of general conditions, of the Increased activity and higher prices of storks. The Important point is that an outside interest has been attracted In the stock market. Previous efforts have been made to attract such an interest by ostentatious advances in rrices, but wPhout avail, and the stock market has been confined to the trading between professional operators ever since last spring: GOOD OUTSIDE DEMAND. Events have so far progressed towards assurance of future business prosperity that the inquiry for securities, which inevitably results from this state of things, has made Its appearance !n the stock market. Professional operators have long expected this, and havs gone long of stocks in consequence. The week's events represented their efforts to get the best prices possible for their holdings. It is an invariable incident of a bull market, also, that after the professional operators have worked, through the list of stocks and exploited all those available for a rise, and sold their holdings, .they will be as Industrious In sowing discouraging opinions regarding future values as they were- before in expressing confidence. Verisimilitude will always be given to these opinions by an ostentatious display of a headlong desire to sell stocks. The week häs net lacked evidence that the professional mind of the stock operator has already arrived at this stago with regard to some stocks. There is always the doubt, which the public must struggle to solve, whether the anxiety of the professional is greater tr sell his own stocks, or to get the public to sell theirs. It is a fact that conservative financial circles have for some time past discountenanced attempts to advance prices of stocks and to stimulate a general speculation, owing to the doubt whether the demands on the money markets of the world through the fall and winter season wouldn't mak It dangerous to Inflate credits for merely speculative purposes, with the chance that a calling of loans would be necessary, which would precipitate a speculative liquidation and a dangerous fall of prices. The recent supplies cf gold secured at various points in Europe and in London for import, and which now amount to nearly $11,000.000, has been the determining Influences In relieving apprehension over the money outlook. It had been feared that such a withdrawal of gold would have dangerous consequences In Europe, which Is still cut oft from its former source of surply in the Transvaal. That European markets have been undisturbed by this movement is partly due to the skill with which the exchange operations have been handled. American agents have scoured all out-of-the-way sources for floating wipplies of gold, in order not to encroach on the supplies In the great central institutions abroad. This solicitude over foreign markets finds Its cause in enlightened selfishness, as American financial Interests in these markets are larger than ever before, and the country's export trade would be damaged by an upset in foreign money markets. Meantime the conviction has gained force that prosperous business and industrial conditions are assured for the coming year. The large demand for money in circulation, the increasing activity in the Iron trade, the continued high level of railroad earnings, the enormous profits in cotton exports', the growing foreign demand for grain, the settlement of the anthracite miners' strike, all were cf influence in encoureglng sentiment over the outlook. It Is the belief in business circles that a large amount of business has been held back until the pausing of the peril of unsettlement incident to the political campaign, so that the approach to election has leen a factor in the speculative activity, the effort being to discount post-election conditions. The week's receipts of gold in New .York, on the Import movement, have kept the money rate down, though the demand for credits incident to the speculation has not been without effect. The facilities afforded by the money market have been the determining cau5e of letting loose the speculative tendency which has been under restraint for some time. An incident of the week has been the continued advance of silver to the highest level in four years, and, the apparent culmination of the rise and slight reaction. Ponds, as well as stocks, have responded to an awakened public interest and seme issues have gained substantially in prices.

On the wholesale streets trade, the past week, was not as large in Its volume as in the week ended Oct. 20. Unusually warm weather . for October was one of the drawbacks, and as election draws near merchants are holding off In purchases to Fee what turn matters take. Hetail merchants have fair etocks now and prefer to wait a few days before stocking up on a liberal scale. On Commission row it was the dullest week In the last three months. Fruits and vegetables decayed badly and stocks were large. During the week linseed oil moved up 6 cents a gallon. Epgs advanced 2 cents a dozen, and leather 1 cent a pound. Sugar rose a quarter of a cent, and coffees are very firm at quotations, as are smoked meats. The hide market is firmer, but not quotably changed. Flour .is weak at quotations. The seed market is active and prices are strong in tone. Cheese i3 firm. In other lines there are no new features. The Iqcal grain market was the most active during the entire week, in many months, arrivals of new corn averaging seventy carloads a day and of other cereals eight to ten a day. During the week prices fluctuated from tf to 2 cents on corn and 3 cents on wheat Oats were practically unchanged. The week closed with bids, as reported by the secretary of the Board of Trade, ruling as follows, both old and new corn being quoted the same on the track: ' Wheat No. 2 red, 714c: No. 2 red, on milling freight. 714c; No. 3 red. 6740694c; wagon wheat. 71c.

DO YOU SAY YOUR PRAYERS f Probably Xot, Though Yon Were Taucht to Do So. i New York Evening Sun. How many men say their prayers? It would be interesting to know. All men. Just as all women, were brought up to pray; at least the number not so brought up Is so small as not to count. Boys, like girls, are from their earliest infancy taught to pray. An atheist himself would scarcely deny his children so gracious and personal a rite. In homes where, through Indifference largely, all other letter arid spirit of religion are lacking, you will find that the Uttlo children In the nursery regularly isay their lrayers generally to a nurse and often in several different languages, but the prayers are said. Why should It be regarded as a privilege of childhood? At what age is the habit, dropped? If there is any form or chaw of religion that Is beneficent Just in Its letter alone, it is the daily prayer. All evidence, from the case of little Arthur in "Tom Brown" down, goes to prove that men are less likely to keep up the habit of prayer in adult life than are women. One young woman, when asked if she still said her prayers, replied: "Regularly when I am spending the night with another girl." But this, we are convinced, is not a typical instance. With the majority of her sex, it is otherwise. It Is worth noting that few men would havo been likely to make such a confession. No man likes to admit that he no longer says his prayers. Like Tom Brown, he might be loath to say them "before folks; he is still more loath to acknowledge that he has given up saying them altogether. Unquestionably, his religious denomination has much to do with a man's net relinquishing his early habit of prayer. A churca influence of public form and ceremony inducei private form and ceremony, even In intimate matters ; even in a thing like prayer that Is not a matttr of form and ceremony at all. It is doubtful if many grown-ups. either women or men, and no matter how they were brought up, pray upon getting up in the morning. Not all children are so taught. Of all the little fc-irls one little girl used to have a spend-the-nlght acquaintance with, there was but one who said her prayers both night and morning. By all the other children this child was regarded as something set apart. They nevir talked about it. even to each other, much less to the little girl herself, but all felt it to be a mark of extra religious respectability upon her part that, by default of their own bringing up. they had been denied. None of them Waa enterprising fnough to follow suit and say hr prayers in the morning, too. Perhaps they thought that would be hypocritical, not Uvvin been taught that way originally. The Joke of It was that the little girl they all looked up 10 In this particular was a regular limb a perfect irrepressible at home, in school and abroad. So matter what she did. though, the others always felt that sh? was somehow excufable. Whatever enormity of conduct she was guilty of. it was to be remembered that she said hr prayers night and morning. Mysterloa Kntal Accident. MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 27.-Robert Pinney was to-day accidentally crushed to a mass which bore some semblance t a human body, at the government dam. on the Mississippi between here and St. Paul. Drawn on a drum by a cable, his life was squeezed out. It required half an hour to take the machinery apart and release the body. As it was they found the body cut In segments.

Cattle Heceipts. 350; shipments, SCO. Th3 receipts of cattle were small, the market was quiet on account of the limited demand from all buyers, and sales were usually at lower prices than yesterday. The receipts- this week show nn increase of about tOO over last week. 1.200 over the tame week a year ago, and the receipts so far this year show an increase cf L5 over th corresponding period last year. The supplies roost of the week were small, and notwithstanding the demand was rather Indifferent and limited from all sources, salesmen succeed ed in maintaining steady prices for all good stock. The conditions were not such as to encourage a more liberal marketing, but it teems that a good many cattle were ready to come, and at the close of the week the receipts were unusually liberal. There was no improvement whatever in the demand, and the orders were all filled long before the supply had been exhausted. Closing prices of the week were generally about 10c lower than the orening for all fat stock, and the market for other kinds was so irregular that it would le difficult to make a true statement. The demand for the best feeding cattle was about as good as expected, and steady prices prevailed, but common stockers were rdentiful and had no fixe! value, salesmen having to accept whatever they could get. At the extreme close of the week several loads of good cattle as well as a large proportion of common to medium grades had not changed owners.

In fact some better than any here yesterday. The market opened with a very fair demand and a few early sales were reported at about yesterday's prices, but generally buyers were asking concessions, and later. In keeping with lower markets elsewhere, salesmen had to take off about 21ic in prices. Before all had changed hands there was probably 5c decline, and tho last arrivals showed at least that much change compared with yesterday. A good clearance was made at current prices. The receipts this week are about 1,500 smaller than last week and 3,500 smaller than the same week a year ago. Thus far this year the receipts are over 243.O00 smaller than the same period last year. Values have been very uneven this week, but reactions have been followed by almost an equal rally, and at the close of the week there was not a great deal cf change in ihe average compared with the opening. On account of a greater difference between prices here and in Eastern markets there was some Improvement in the shipping demand, but local packers are still taking a very large percentage of the supplies.

LONDON LAIMIHICS. Art of Washing Clothes Welt Known to IZngllnli Women. Not Elizabeth L. Hanks, in Chicago lot. London Las a new sensation in th shape of firt-n or twenty orange-colcn-d laundry wagon bi:i? driven alout by Chinamen. The fact that th-se Chinamen, sitting up In conspicuous p.accs 0. biitrht-hued wag on sats. are not tnU at by the London nub, or even so much as yvlteJ at r treated to the popular nw slang txpn-vt-loa. "There's air!" by the EnKÜfrh small boy. gore to nhow how utterly discouraged Lndcn h become with its native wah-rwom n and how evin the despised yellow man freh from the land of the Loxers"' and with his pigtail ail too prominent c-n be heartiiy welcomed vrhra he conns with the cry o "Washee, washer, washee!" Lundon washerwomen are like a certain trani ot foap in that they '"won't wah cloth s." They attempt to wasdi tn m oh. yes! The hamper uf nmarkable-KvAlnK garments that comes ba;a to me every week frcm my laundry l'"a large i-anltary laundry where P.lty women are miployed." so runs the prosjectus In the front uf my laundry book) Uais testimony to thoee u;rageous "attempts." Hut for rtally washing clotues, they simply won't do it. l'erhsps It 1 beeaus.e they don t know how, and. as for thtrtr learning how, that is something they positively refuse to do. Now. my washerw oman la Jut like all the other washerwomen In lendon. I have tried a great many. b-caue at first I thought 1 might have been lartlcuiarly unfortunate, but each successive one i the same as her predecefsor, only more so. Let me tell you how the London washerwoman, fro s at the lustiness of clothe washing, and then wonder, if you tan, that, ta the cry of '"Welcome! Welcome!" ho'Uod by thouisinJi of Englishmen and Englishwomen this w-en when they saw the pigtaiicd Chinamen mounted on their laundry wagons I added my mite. What if from the far Eat there doe com 10 us random notes from the performances at the concert of the powers! 'inat oftllmes dlscord-tnt music Is altogether to far away that we cm stop our ears against it or drown the sound ntirely by our own cries to the pasin Chine laundry wagon of "Washee! Wat her! Wath clean our clothe and hmoothly iron them!" Hut to the London warti-rwuman and her evil ways! iShe gets a tub half full cf water wtr that is dirty and with a scum on top of It tiecause she has neglected to wah the tub befort the put It awav last week. She puts into lh.it tub a board. No! I did not aay a "ihboard." for then you would think It the selfFame fluted thing of sine or wood that you in Chicago use for laundry work. 'Tis Jut a bjard an ordinary kind of board that the Is quilt likely to have knocked oft a soap box. Across the ton of the tub she puts the board, and into the tub of dirty water -he puts th linen. Then with a piece of the most diabolical kind of oaj that eats into her own poor, rough hands and even eats into our skin, too, when we put oj that badly rinsed linen, the treniua of the t begins operating with a ucrubbixig brush. It Ik exactly the same kind of brush that one u.i for the kitchen floor. Let us be thankful if It turns out not to be the Idtntlcal one! A garment Is spread out on the board; the washerwoman scrubs it heavily if 'tis a fin and dainty bit of llrjrerie and lightly if It's coarse and ordinary that's a "way" she has with her! Hresto! the article is "washed" nni thrown into what is called a "copper." but is Just a "tin." rusted all along the edges becaue tt wasn't properly wiped out the last time. It boils till tender, and then it'm taken out. and. with curious little Iron rust spots ell over it.' the article Is soused through what is called clean water, but is not, since the rinse tub was not properly cared for the last time any more than the wash tub or the boiler. It Is then "wrun out." The washerwoman calls it "wringing" but her method of doing It is to take the garment all up In a wad. press it torether with her two hands, and then bang it out on a line, if she happens to have a garden. In that case "blacks" from the London chimneys tall down upon It. Just like snowfakes descending r the sky that Is. not at all like snowfiakes! When dried which process takes a very long time because the garment ha been hung out dripping Wet. it Is "sprinkled" In one corner or in the middle, thrown on a table and "mangled" or ironed. No foldlnr up tightly and putting away to wait for tho eprüikllnc to take effect doea the London washerwoman lelieve in. A half-cold or scorching hot dirty iron completes the process of tt "laundering" of our linen. Perhaps you will think I speak only of the washerwoman who does washing at.d Ironing In a "small way." No! I havo described the process of washing and ironing- In every typical London laundry where "hand work" Is done. As for the places where they do "machln work" with steam engines, they are worse, o far a results are concerned, than are tba "hand" establishments. 1 speak not only frmj my own personal xperienc, but from the experience of all my friends, both American and Ur.R-llsh. who have had washing done in London. Hngllhwomen who have- visitel France and the United States are loudest in their denunciations of the present Enaiih laundry system. Hotu of them tell me they would be willing to pay double the priee charged if they coul 1 only rt their linen done up as It is done In France a ad America. TIII3 AUSTRIAN KMPKROR. Simplicity Marks the Personal Hol Its of Francis Joseph London Telegraph. As a rule the Emperor of Austria dines alone at a small table la his ytu'iio. where he transacts affairs of state. One day when he was particularly occupied with work he invitel his ald-de-camp. who usually dines in the next room, to elt down with him at the table. The ofheer did so. and when the Hmperor asked, at the end of the meal. If he had enjoyed it, he taw from the expression on the oihccr face that the latter had been rather surprised at the slr pllclty of the fare. Without waiting for an answer. Francis Joseph continued : "I am frail ycu did not like it, but I always have frugal meals." All the Emperor's personal habits are marked bv this oilier-like simplicity. When, having finished the day's labors, he retires to restalways at 9 o'clock In the evening he sleeps on his Iron field bed. The only luxury which the Fmreror allowed himself when absent from Vienna is an Ice safe, sent dally from the capital, and a few bottles of mineral water. It is th-se simple and temperate habits which have left the Hmpercr-Klng at seventy full of that vlgcr and strength and those powers cf endurance In shooting and stalking which never fail to impress the other members of the royal flirting parties. This year it was impossible to avoid observing the marked effects which the death of the Umrress has exerted cn his personal spr.arance. The rlender figure. alout middle height, whlc.i the monarch earrlc-l fo upright not many y-r ugo. now stoopa forward a good deal. His beard has grown perfectly white, but the fyn are still young, freh and bright, and the expression of his face reflects his lnrate s-oodnexa of heart as well as his great vitality of spirit. Until last year's attack cf rheuriat!m. ilmleror Francis Joserh was never ill. When tha doctors then recommended the (lasteln cure he answered in all rerlousness: "I will wait till I am oil for that." Evidence of the fact that n!i Majesty does not fel oil was soon forthcoming, for after he had recovered from the short Jllne-js he spent seven hours a day In the sadlle during the military maneuvers, riding over the entire ground covered by the operation. He had tc change his mount twice, and was then genuinely astonished when he fjnd his fatigued generals could scarcely follow him at the end of the day. The revered overelm takes a Ion? ride on horseback dally, and attributes his wonderful preservation of vigor almost entirely to the!e e-queftrlan exercises. It must n it be forgotten, however, that Frat.cls Joneph has throughout his life been accustomed to undergo all kinds of bodily fatigue. Marrying Later In Life. Philadelphia Time. There is a noteworthy coincidence between Prof. Franklin II. Ghldinsrs's conclusions about the ffct of the factory employment of women on the a at which they marry and th statistics compUvl by Miss Mary llc.txrts Smith, of the Leland Stanford University, a? to the comparative marrying aj:c of the collejre woman and the noncollcge woman. The Columbia pro fosor soys that factory work makes the average age at women at taarrlag greater. Miss Smith so far agree with him us to say that the marrying ape for all vomn has been srowlnjr greater for lh laU thirty years. Hut he adds that the c-ollr; woman waits till the is twrnty-six. while the nonctdlege woman marries at th average age of twenty-four. It seems, then, that bth factory employment and hljihf-r education tend to postpone the agje of marrlajre for women, as com pa reel with the old-fahicn'! tiomestlc and social career for ounp wonvn. This postponement is almost universally regarded, as beneficial, because maturity has better fitted the brhV for the intellectual and moral rvsrndbl!ltle3 of motherhooel. The advent of women in factories, where they handle delicate machinery with a nicer touch than men. is apparently net an unmixed evil, fo lorr& as th7 do not cut men out by taking lower v 1 gv.a. It certainly tends to make them !.. dependent on the currc--d necessity of
