SsvYork FIneneial Review.

New YoRK, October 2.-The events Of
the week in financial circles were impor-
tant in some respects, particularly for the
steady improvement in railroad securities
toward the close. The money market was
easy throughout the week, aud the rates
for call loans were Has per cent. The
Foreign Exchanges were dull, and a weak
tone characterized the market toward the
close. Government bonds were irregular,
and in the main, with q sharp decline near
the close, when Fours and Four-and.a-
halls dropped 1a1t per cent. In the final
sales there was recovery OF TAI per cent.
The Railway and miscellaneous specula.
tion was strong during the greater part Of
the week with an advancing tendency 10
prices. The improvement in general list
rangeg from to II per cent, while Nash.
vile and Chattanooga advanced ISL per
cent. The chief speculative interest Is
oentered in the Grsngers Coal and Trunk
Line and Southwestern shares-toward
the close there was sharp rise in the ele.
yated Shares, which were layorably effected
by the large increase in the earnings ot the
roads. The chief influences in favor Of q
higher market were the continued ease in
money, the large imports OF gold, the
steady gain in the earnings Of the railroads,
and the reports Of settlement OF the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, and Wa.
bash troubles.

MEMPHIS, TENN, October S.-The story
told Ly W. P. Pennell to the agent ofthe
Western Associated Press in Chicago, Of
his fearful suterings here, has been rigidly
investigated and found to be false in every
particular. Pennell was first arrested At
The Peabody Hotel and sent to jail for
lunacy.. He escaped, but was recaptured
and sentto the hospital by the police. He
escaped again and was sent 10 the poor
house. He broke his cell door, and was
once more arrested by the police and
sent back TO jail, from which he was re-
leased. The police treated him kindly,
and used every endeayor to find his
friends, receiving word from them q few
days ago. Pennell was sent TO the hospi.
tai TO be cared for until his friends arrived.
His story is simply wild eoneoction ol
o lunatic's Imagination.

The offerings OF desirable parcels OF
domestic wool continue to be made with a
showing of care and in pretty much all
cases upon limit Of former rates only.
Holders do not appear to be expecting
any great buoyaucy, and indeed few are
willing to predict even more than slight
reaction, but they do feel that there Is a
check to the shrinkage on cost, and that
the chances for an increased distribution
are daily growing more promising. Buyers
are taking only small amounts, but all
who make their appearance want some
stock, and the current negotiations seem
to show that were small concessions
granted It would act as an incentive to
larger purchases. Supplies do not In.

NEw YORK, October 2.-The Tribune says
the pork market was very quiet to-day,
and scarcely any business was transacted.
Speculation seemed to have come to a
pause with buyers and sellers holding off.
The selling price for mess was SIS. The
market was nominally unchanged. One
OF the features in the dealings at the Pro-
duce Exchange was the large transactions
in corn, Of which nearly 400, 900 bushels
were sold, including about one million
bushels for October and November at 52ta
52lc for the former, and 5S5a52lc for the
latter month.
The Commercial AdreTtiSer says: "The
condition Of the pork market is such that
no sales were effected on the Produce Ex-
change this morning, small holders being
afraid to sell. For October the pork price
bid was SG6 80, while that asked was
SIS 25. The selling price for to-day was
fixed at $lS. It appears likely, according
to the opinion OF many large operators,
that as old pork is considered out OF the
market except by large holders, there
will be an advance on November rates
when new pork comes in. II Is an open
secret that one large dealer holds nearly
all October pork, and will, 1t is thought,
be able to keep up the price until new
pork comes.
"Lard Is said to be in worse position
than pork. Holders Of buyers options
have great advantage over holders Of
stock, which is said to be not more than
5000 tierces at immediate call. The stock
in Europe Is reported TO be short"

COMING TO TINE.
The Republicans OF New York Stirred Up
Smelling cut Literally.

WASHINGTON, October 2.--The Evening
Star publishes a special dispatch from New
York, which giyea this interesting political
gossip:
"rhe interest in the Indiana campaign
here becomes intensified as the day Of the
election approaches. The Republican
headquarters are hard at work. The
meeting at the Union League Club on
Wednesday night was the result Of fully
aroused sentiment. The leading Repub-
licans OF the city were there, and Hamilton
Fish presided. Never were such earnest
ness and enthusiasm known there before.
A committee Of fifty was appointed to So
licit subscriptions, and the collections and
promises already amount to thousands Of
dollars, and the committee has only started
at work. There is no doubt that for every
dollar the Democrats have to work with or
can get the Republicans have or can get
two or three.
"At the Union League meeting old men
who never showed spirit before pounded
the desks with their fists, and promised
thousands 10 the cause. John l. Dayen-
port made detailed and most remarkable
statement, claiming that the city was full
OF Southern men who came here to vote
and only to vote; that he was rapidly
marking them, but the work was very ex.
penaive. Clean them out and go on with
your work at any cost, we will pay for 1t,
and such excited remarks, were heard all
over the hall. Indisna and New York
are the fields wherein the great work Is
going on. There has been nothing OF
activity before compared with the prepar-
atoms for the clash OF votes to come in
October. Heretofore the cry has been
for money"
"The Democrats have good deal, but
are discouraged in their efforts to get
more. The Republicans have all they
want for the present, and will get more II
they ask for 1t. II was talked all over New
York, and boasted OF that Judge Hilton,
OF A. T. Stewart & Co., had already given
his check for 100000 to the Democracy,
yet he was nominated and declined for
Congress as Democrat from the Saratoga
District, and did not give 100000. He
gave s., 800, and by it made the Democrats
quite angry. General Barnum, Chairman
Of the Democratic National Committee,
telegraphed to Europe for general H. w.
Slocum, who commanded the Indiana reg
iments, to come home. He did come, and
went with $50, 900 in money to Indiana for
the Democracy, and is there now spending
1t or directing It's use in whole or in part.
1t Is difficult TO find out how much Bel
mont gave the Democracy, but he proba-
bly, gave $4,000. He wants his son TO go
to Congress from Long Island in place Of
Covert, who has Withdrawn in his favor
from the canvass. Il is probable that the
Democratic Campaign Committees have
raised altogether about 100000.

CHICAGO, October S.-There has been q
pretty strong wheat market for the past
week, partly from the Unexpectedly small
volume Of receipts, and larsly because Of
the stiflening Of prices. in Europe, caused
by the possibility Of war. The higest prices
have not been maintained. but there was
no very marked dropping of in quota
tons. The arrivals continue TO be less
than half those OF 1879, while other Grains
come in more heavily. The stock In store,
too, Is increasing, and Is now unusually
large. Corn has taken n very steady
course, and prices are rather inclined to
weakness under heavy receipts and grow
ing stocks, accompanied with higher lake
ireights. Receipts average nearly half q
million bushels per day, volume unPre.
cedented in the history OF the market.
Oats were exceptionally strong, especially
for cash, in which there has been o boom
the past week, cash reaching Sac. The
corner eliminated with the end Of the
month, however, and there is only
trifling premium now on cash purchases.
Provisions were pretty steadyexcept for the
idiosyncrasies OF cash and October Pork.
The firmness In these deals has become
more pronounced, and the corner is being
put through in New York as well. The
well known determination Of the chief
cornerer Is so well known that few doubt
that he will run the market up to $40 be-
fore the deal eliminates. Meantime jan
uary and the nearer options oil Pork are
ranging between Sl2 and $l3 per barrel.
The corner is go apparent that 1t Is not
even denied. Prices Of the November
option were as follows: Wheat 81 s,95tc. |
