Wall Street To-day.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The Posts financial arti-
Gle says: "The stock exchange closed yester-
day and opened to-day in whirl Of excitement.
Tie lush to buy the coal stocks in the last
hour yesterday, and which then advanced
prices 10 points, was this morning followed
by an equally strong desire to sell them, and
yesterday g advance vanished this morning like
SNOWFALL on hot stove. In the meantime a
bounce Erie, and the price Of that stock was
jumped to IS. This price lasted only a
decline to ssN, The general market
came feverish and unsettled and fractions were
no longer regarded In prices. For a few mo-
ments it looked as If an old fashioned stock
panic was at hand, but before the end of
to recover Erie went back to above
Yesterdays closing price. and the general
the movement was in the language of the
brokers scoop or whether it was what 1t
appeared to be, whichever was true the market
has since been steady to strong. In the money
market the ruling rate for call loans Is per
cent. prime: mercantile is sac per cent, which
is also the quotation for time loans on good
collateral. An unfavorable bank statement is
looked for tomorrow.

CRED1TABLE EXHIBIT-THE DISPLAY OF HORSES,

Correspondence Of The Star.l
ALEXANDRIA, october 1st, 1879.
The second annual fair Of the Alexandria
and Fairfax Agricultural and Industrial Asso-
citation commenced yesterday. 1t Is a grand
success; the entries, say its officers, are three
times what they were last year. The display,
/ may say synthetically, In exhibition hall, Is
very fine, the articles in multitudnous variety
are arranged very taStefully, and prettily and
the effect is quite imposing. The weather so
Delightfully."- autumnal, favors very large at
tendance from rural districts, and the reasona-
bic expectations In this regard are being fully
realized. The salient features of the first day
were fremen's parade and the tournament.
The horse exhibit was large and creditable
which were superior animals There were also
mare and two colts which attracted marked
attention, and they were well formed, fine ami
mails. There was large number Of common
stock, among which were several Servfceable,
good animals Among them also were some
promising colts. AS whole this department
mase age Ver 9h aS year, and
In the swine department there was also
manifest improvement on last year. The CheS-
ter White. Essex, and Berkshire breeds were
represented by several very f1ne animals. The
expression among the pork raisers was very
pronounced and commendatory in relation to
many Of the animals exhibited.
The agricultural implement and seedsmen
variety Of articles. They have about every
thing new or old-if not obsolete-in their line
displayed. They make an excellent show.
In the cattle department there are several Of
the celebrated breeds represented by nice
animals. There are Holsteins from Judge Full
lerton's farm; Devons owned by General W. Fl.
F. Lee, and Alderney's, short horns, and grades
OF most OF these breeds by sundry other gentle
men. The show was very creditable one.
In the department Of poultry think there is
a very gratifying exhibit. The birds are nearly
all fine, and the varieties include Light and
Dark Brahmas, Partridge Cochins, Bun Coch-
ms, Games, MeX1canS, American Domin1queS,
Houdans White, Black and Brown Leghorns,
Plymouth Rocks, White Cochins, White Crested
Black Polands, Bearded Silver Polands, Pen
c1led Hamburgs, Bantams of every shade of
color, ad tntnitum, and Doves "'till you can't
rest" White and Brown China Geese, PeKin
Ducks ard Black Cayuga Ducks The Games
and the Plymouth Rocks birds were the poorest
In the show: In brief, this show of poultry is In
quality one of the best / have ever seen. To.
morrow l will furnish the account, and then

credit, the vast resources OF Indiana as grain
and cattle-growing and coal and ron-lnining
state, her ten thousand puolic schools and, in
proport on to her population, the largest school
FUND In the union. Abiding to the history OF
the state he said that. with a population grown
more largely from the south than any other OF
the western states, it was but human that men
should sympathize with the part OF the country
from which their fathers emigrated, but, never
theleE s, no state probably In proportion to pop
ulation sent more men to the front than In

to the memory OF the late Senator Morton.
GEN. SHERMAN ON THE MILK RIVER SLAUGHTER.
General Sherman was called for, and in the
course Of his remarks referred to the slaughter
at Milk river, saying we must punish these In
dams and avenge the dead 1t will be done,
Notwithstanding Congress has given us so few
men because of the hard times, which are now
past. They have cut our army down now until
we can hardly do picket duty on our frontier
liIes, and that is the way the Indians get the
drop on us. They always get the best OF US at
first, as in the case Of Custer. And now, my
felioW-soldiers, would ask OF you that you
solicit your congressman to give us force large
enough to at least do effective picket duty.
Why. we have but $4,000 men In the whole
United States, 5000 Of whom are clerks. They
are non-c n-combatants, hospital men, cooks, &c.
What are they good for In fight? There are
not more than 10000 soldiers scattered over
Colorado Idaho, Arizona oregon and other
points that need protection from predatory
raids from the Indians. The other day about
$50 were ambushed by the Indians and thirteen
of our best troops were killed, two or three OF
them being officers. The railroads are assem-
bling forces to go to the relief of this command,
ard they no doubt, have been succored by this
time. II the border is to be protected so that
the public domain may be empowered and built
up like your own beautiful city and country,
then the army must De na,ntaiped at such
standard as can cope with the hOstile5. We
cannot fight these Indians without men. There
are the Utes, the Cheyennes, the Arapahoes
and other tribes that need attention, and that
is the reason. want you, my old comrades, to
use your influence with your congressman to
have the army strengthened. [Applause.l
The party were entertained at the residence
OF Gen. Benz. Harrison last night and left at II
O'Clock last night for Fremont, Ohio.

y. c.:
Through the kindness Of a k;nsman,
have been reading your pages for
some months with interest. l now
enclose you a years subscription on
my own account. You are on the
,;,ht track. and are giving an impetus
to agriculture and prosperity that
Won do not dream of, and which only
a retrospective view can give a clear
impression. When we farmers fully
realize that the order of nature only
gives a three per cent. and ar most a
four ner cent. rate of interest, in ma
taral production, and any excess of
$4,000, ,,,,- nnnln from tho nSATal-Q
of brains and muscle-then we Will
begin to realize or know the capacity
Of our business. TO go into a 3per
cent. business and pay even per cent.
on two-thirds of our capital makes a
heavy drain on our brains and physi-
cal exertions. Yet millions are doing
this very thing all over the country.
In our region a man IS supposed to
he able to earn with his hands two
hundred dollars a year and his board
and with that productive power he
goes into debt for a farm, and fights
his way through. If he can add
brain power, use good judgment and
skill, he may double his productive
power-if he is a poor manager, or
e~1travagant, he may destroy it.
Give a house and furniture, a man
and his wife (f she has prudence and
skiI) can feed and warm themselves,
buying everything for less than one
hundred dollars a year. and live quite
comfortably. Thirty dollars a year
more will clothe them. And it is
what they SAGE, not what they make,
that gives them prosperity. Real
economy is a wise expenditure to pro-
duce certain results. 1t is good man
agement-it is not going Without"
Yours truly,
W. ~ ~
