The arrivals were principally good harness horses, but there were also a few good drafter* and chunks The quality was generally very much better than last week, and was really considered eatra. The attendance of buyers was better, and. with an active inquiry- from the Eastern trade and rood competition from other source*, the bidding from the start was lively, and sale* were usually on a basis of prices current two week* ago. There was no lack of Interest, and a* the auction progressed. It looked like a good clearance would be made at opening prices. The better claa* of stock sold at flSb and 1275 a head.

New York November 1A—The market opened firm on an active demand, well distributed through various departments of the list. A number of the specialties showed gain? of nearly a point. There was a large absorption of Southern Pacific at an extreme advance of 4 over

last nt^fct.

Some of the leading specialties were advanced. notably. Sugar. General Electric and Tennessee Coal. Not much response occurred in the general list, heavy sales of Leather Southern Pacific and Manhattan be'ng deterrent factors. An easy tone developed in the entire market before 11 o'clock, but there was no special pressure against the standard railroad

stocks. *

A jump in General Electric of 4 points, coupled with bidding up of Sugar and the local stocks, gave renewed firmness all around. The movement was shortlived. and prices tumbled away generally. General Electric reacting 2. Substantial losses occurred in spots, and there were liberal offerings of the grangers and Southern stocks toward noon.

Is very white, produces 1 from three to seven ears on the stalk, and from ten to twen»y stalks to the hill, while in seeding but one grain is required to each hill. The corn branches out from the root like winter wheat, and grows from ten to twelve feet high. The ears are about nine Inches long and quite j thick, the grains or kernels being very | large and even. Only about seventy-five ! bushels of this variety have been produced this year, but this will be enough ( to seed a good-sized field, and. perhaps, j In another year the seed will be plenty. When this variety of corn comes into general culture It would make corn the cheapest fuel that could be obtained.

Grain Notea. (By A W. Thomson’s Wire ] Chicago, 111., November 1A—Wheat— Liverpool, which opened firm In sympathy with our advance, turned weak, closing 4d lower. The reason for this probably lies In the fact that William Goodwin predicts a large Argentina, crop, and spot demand In the English markets

Overproduction of Coffee. A dealer* circular says: Overproduction of coffee differs considerably from overproduction of or surplus cf almost every other kind of staple. Outside speculators probably do not realize that, while wheat, corn and cotton have to be planted every season, the coffee tree, after the first four or five years, bears fruit and continues to do so season after season for many years. They also do not realize that surplus coffee can not be- diverted Into other channels of consumption. like com and cotton are liable to when prices are very low. Even at very low prices, the consumption of coffee can not be Increased to anything like the extent of the present enormous production. and there is absolutely no way to Improve values permanently except by curtailment of production.

November 14.—The Metal Exchange called pig iron warrants weak, with sales and sellers at 315.75; lake copper dull at 17c; tin demoralized, with saies and sellers at 26.75 for spot and 25.874c for December! lead quiet at 4.574 ffiAC24c. speltei unchanged at 4.6&6A75c. the brokers’ price for lead is 4.40c and for -opper 17c.

November 14 —Southern Pacific was again the feature at the opening. The trading in it was simply enormous, but although London houses were buyers, their purchases were not nearly as large as they were yesterday. The rest of the market opened strong in sympathy with the higher prices from London, but after the first fifteen minutes a good deal of liquidation made its appearance and a gradual reaction .took place. Manhattan was active and stronger on the exposure of pbsurd contention on the part of Chief Croker that the installation of a third rail would constitute a danger to firemen in case of a tire on properties adjoining the elevated structure. Atchison preferred was again strong on good buying. The undertone of the grangers was also good. The street is being treated to any number of bull points on Sugar. Money opened at 7 per cent., subsequently loaned at 8 per cent. Loans are now being made at these figures. There is still a good deal of talk of gold imports, but there are no authentic reports.

(Special to The tadMmapolls News ] Wabash. Ind.. November .A—An official of the Eastern division of tike Wabash railroad says the construct on of additional yards at Peru does not signify that the company has conctuled that the decision of the Supreme Cuitt In the Bel River railroad receivership case, now pending before that tribuna . holds the lease of the Eel River valid, and that the Wabash will continue to operate It, as at present. He stated that the Wabash would not seriously regret an adverse decision, as It would be able to build a twenty-mile cut-off. connecting Its own road, which terminates at Butler. over to New Haven, thus making Wt Wayne—where new and extensive shop buildings are under construction— a division point between Detroit and Danville. III., and giving the company the increased patronage from the good towns between Peru and Ft. Wayne, which comes of improved train service. * Peru, however, will continue to be the division point on the Toledo line, no matter what becomes of the Eel River. The tendency is to Increase the length of train runs, and the old division point at Andrews. 126 miles from Toledo, made the runs too short. Peru is 180 miles from Toledo, a run of convenient length for freight and passenger men. and. if necessary, the western terminus of the ru/is can be moved from Danville to Devs tor. making the western run from Peru 165 miles. This would be an equitable division. In the opinion of the offlflal. and the business of the Toledo line in such circumstances, would be ample tc employ all the yard room now building at Peru. Next Sunday a new time card will go Into effect on the Wabash. and it is understood now a mornIng passenger train will be run east, leaving Peru about 7 o’clock and arriving at Toledo about 11:30. A west-boune train, departing from Toledo about 10 o'clock and reaching Peru at 3:15, may be put on. The passenger service on the Toledo branch 1* now poor and complaints are coming from all the towns and from commercial men.

Wayne, fnd., November 14.—Joljn Kolker, master mechanic at Pueblo for the Denver & Rio Grande Railway Company, was in the city to-day to see some of the old railroad men. He is said to be the oldest living engineer of the Pittsburg. Ft. Wayne & Chicago line, and it was he who brought the first train into Ft.

Former President Benjamin Harrison returned to Indianapolis at 12:30 o'clock this afternoon, after an absence of about | five months In Europe. With him were Mrs, Harrison and their daughter. Elisabeth. They came directly from New York, where they arrived more than a week ago- Hardly had the Pennsylvania train come to a standstill until the genI eral. with both hands gripping handbags. crowded through a narrow door of a Pullman car. A good many persons had gathered at ( the station to witness the return home j of ^e former President, but there was ’»o demonstration. The general's private secretary. E. F. Tlbbott. who was with him In Europe and who arrived home a week ago. was the first to greet him. The Rev. M. L. Haines and Daniel M. Ransdelt were also there to extend a welcoming hand. The porter on the Pullman that brought the family home stopped Elisabeth. and the nurse who carried her. to shake hands, and the little girl, in a bright red cloak, shook a white mitten at the colored man as she left him. A carriage was In waiting, and within five minutes after the train arrived the Harrisons were being driven to their home in North Delaware street. General Harrison, at his home this afternoon, received a number of callers, among them his former Attornev-Oen-eral. W. H. H. Miller. The general is in excellent health after his five months' sojourn abroad. "There Is," he remarked, "no reason why any man who has returned from Europe should be made the subject of an Interview. Besides, The News might properly be taken at its word, as illustrated in the cartoon of which I was the subject, representing that on my arrival In New York I would not be Interviewed. A# a matter of fact. I have already given to the papers in Paris all that 1 cared to say. This has, I presume, been published." He was asked if there was anything In the newspaper Intimations that Great Britain, in the settlement of the Venezuela boundary line, had practically got all that she wanted. “1 do not care to xo Into that subject In an Interview, as It Is too long. Besides. It has been settled. Evidently. England did not get all she wanted, for she has moved her flag back from three points; neither did she get either bank of the mouth of the Orinoco river."

ATTORNEYS CAN SIGN,

May Act for Remonstrants Under the Nicholson Law.

An appeal has been filed In the Supreme Court from the decision of Judge Palmer, of White county, to the effect that namos signed by an attorney in fact to a remonstrance under the Nicholson law are as effective as if signed by the remonstrators In person. The appeal is entitled Charles Cochell vs. Lewis C. Reynolds and others. A majority of the legal voters In Monon township. White county, executed a power of attorney authorising two persons to represent them in opposing the grant of any licenses to sell intoxicating liquor in the township, and to "sign our names to a remonstrance against the granting of a license to any person he or they may sea fit <0 remonstrate against receiving or having such license.” When Cochell applied for a license to keep a saloon In Monon, a remonstrance was presented to which these persons had signed the names of nearly two hundred voters. The board of commissioners refused to grant a license to Cochell, and he appealed to the Circuit Court, where Judge Palmer also held the remonstrance sufficient.

Holt’s Note. The Appellate Court reversed the Judgment for $961 recovered by James Sweetser, of Brasil, Ind.. against Sterling R. Holt. The judgment was recovered on a note, which Holt insisted he had signed only as president of the Brasil Ice and Cold Storage Company. It was originally payable to Holt, and long after It was due, and after 13,500 had been paid on It. Holt assigned It without recourse to Frederick M. Chapin, who was then running the Charlemont Hotel, in Indianapolis. Chapin afterward transferred the note to Sweetzer In payment of another note, to which Holt’s name was signed, but which he repudiated aa a forgery. Chapin has since been arrested in Pennsylvania. and brought back to Indiana for trial on an Indictment charging hint with forging the latter note. The Appellate Court held that there was such am bigulty In the note on which Judgment was recovered that the defendant ought to l>e allowed to prove that he signed It as president of the Brazil Ice and Cold Storage Company only, and the judgment was reversed because the trial court refused to permit him to do so. Meloy Heirs’ Case Affirmed. t The Appellate Court affirmed a Judgment of $1,600 recovered by the hetrs of Robert F. Meloy against Columbus B. Harrod and his bondsmen as administrator of Meloy’s estate. It was shown that Harrod had agreed to prosecute an action against the Big Four Railway Company for damages on account of Injuries received by Meloy, and was to receive half the amount recovered. Another lawyer was afterward employed to assist him, who was to receive 1 a fourth of the amount recovered, a new contract being signed at that time by ail the v^rties. Meloy died after a judgment had been recovered in his favor, but before the money was paid. Harrod qualified a# his administrator, and paid himself half of the money recovered, paying the other lawyers one-fourth out of what was left. The court# decided that, under the #4»cond contract, only onehalf of the money ought to be used In paying attorney fees, which Harrod must share with the other attorney. False Pretenses Involved. The Ap| ellate Court affirmed the judgment for *375 recovered by Sylvester M. Taylor against Louis T. Loucks. as dam-ag-a for Inducing him to buy certain property by false pretenses. The property war located In Lake county, and was subject to a building association mortgage for $900. The loan was secured by eight share# of seventy-two payment stock In the building association, which held the mortgage. It was shown that Loucks Induced Taylor to believe that his mortgrgt would be canceled by making th» requited number of payment#, while the payments, in fact, barely paid the Interest on the loan.
