THE MARKETS YESTERDAY

The bulls took the bears into camp in the New

tame, with the tendency toward higher prices.
The opening was irregular, and New York Cen

vance in prices. A little later, however, New
York Central dropped to 934, the lowest point
of the week, In final dealings there was rally,
under the leadership OF st. Paul, which returned
TO sos. The market closed strong, prices be-
ing h01B per cent. higher than fridays close,
except for Central Pacific, New Jersey Central,
and New York Central, which were A9A per
cent. lower, Union Pacific was firm. Govern
ments were strong, railways generally firm, and

THE anniversaries OF the Sunday School
Union and Tract Societies of the Methodist
Episcopal church, to be held in this city on
Saturday and Sunday next, is q notable
Event. These societies are national in their
character, and this is the first time their an
niversary sessions have been held in the
northwest. Heretofore New York, Philadel-
phia, Boston and other eastern cities have
been selected. That st. Paul has now been
chosen is an honor to be appreciated. The
occasion brings to the city some of the notable
men of the denomination, among whom are
Rev. DR.. Vincent of New York, one of the
most eloquent men in the country and
eminent in Sunday-School work, Rev. DR.. J.
NJ. Freeman of New York, Rev. DR.. Miller OF
Philadelphia, Rev. DR.. A. C. George of
Chicago. This eonvocation will attract
many people to the city, as the church in
Minnesota and other states will be generally
represertel. Next Sunday afternoon, 0e-
tober 5th, the anniversary of the Sunday
School union wiz be celebrated in
the Grand opera-House, where addresses
win be made by Drs. Vincent
Miller, Freeman and George. The people of
st. Paul win doubtless take grest interest
in this matter, which brings to their doors so
important and valuable series of meetings
Of such representative societies Of the great
Methodist denomination.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.--The Democratic
national committee are receiving coDsid-
cradle money in response to their address
recently issued. Almost all Of it comes in
small sums. A clergyman, who is pastor of
small parish in western state, sent one
dollar to-day. In his letter he says that he is
opposed to preaching politics from his pulpit,
and adds:

ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. 27.-The report that
Gov. Cleveland would leave Albany this
week for short visit to Buffalo is not true.
He will leave on this tour about Thursday of
next week. Great preparations are being
made for his reception, which viii far surpass
the one given to Blaine Thursday evening
The after effects of Blaine's passing through
this state do not appear to be so marked as
Republicans here claimed. A chosen few,
the favorites of the state committee, were adj
mitted to the special train at Albany. One
of the two rival Republican general commit
tees was recognized; the other was ignored.
Other cases of insults occurred in several To-
calities, and long trail of i'll feeling was
left in the wake of the departing train. The

help to the Repub licans.

New YORK, Sept. 27.-When, soon after
the nomination of Cleveland, William Pur-
cell, editor of the Rochester Union and q
member of the electoral ticket, resigned both
positions and it was given out that he was
bitterly opposed to the election of Gov.
Cleveland, there was considerable rejoicing
among the opponents of the latter. Tonight
the Brooklyn Eagle publishes letter from
Mr.. Purcell to James Mcmahon, prominent
Brooklyn citizen, in which he says:

Chess news of general interest IL not very plen-

prominent matters ''before the country seem to

him.

dence is inimitable.
Mr. s. is very unlikely to return at present to
London for that or any other purpose.
To say nothing of family and business consid-
erations, the travel, the training and the time,
necessary for such a match would long postpone
and seriously imperil his magazine venture,
which IL successful will make his struggle in
life easier and far advance his fame and the for
tunes Of American chess.
Mr. SteInitz tried for a year to bring on de-
cisive match, under all sorts of circumstances
favorable to his rival but without avail-that
rival had determined 10 cross the Pacific, and
cross the Pacific he would. At last just after
Mr. Steinitz has brought his family 10 this cOun-
try, laid the foundations Of q new home, and be-
gan to engaged in business, DIR. Zukertort, who

BEAVER DAM, Wis, Sept 27.-Gen. Bragg
was unanimously nominated for congess on
the 15Oth ballot to-day. For over two weeks
the balloting has been In progress. Della
ney led most of the time, closely followed by
Sumner, the sitting member. For several
days Bragg had been considered practically
out of the race, or at best nothing but dark
horse. Delaney and Sumner at last became
convinced that neither could capture the
prize, and after number of ballots had
been taken this morning the break came out
at last and the old commander of the Iron
brigade was declared the unanimous choice
of the convention. Speeches were made,
amid enthusiasm, by the Hon. A. &. Della
ney and Judge SAWYER. after which the con-
yention adjourned sine die.
Gen. Bragg was defeated two years ago,
after a deadlock lasting for over two months,
BY Sumner, who has Just been beaten. He
has been brought into great prominence
during the present year By the scathing and
and unanswerable reply be made in the
Democratic national convention to Grady,
Cochran and the other Tsmmsny opponents
of Grover Cleveland. The wonderful reply
he made to Grady, in which he declared,
eve love him for the enemies he has made, -
referring to the opposition of Tammany, was
the incident of that great convention. Such
8 speech was made By no other delegate in
that remarkable body; and such
spplause-such overwhelming, vocif-
erous spplsuse-as answered 1t was granted
no other speaker. This sentence has been
distorted to mean = challenge 10 the Irish
simply because Grady was an Irishmsn, but
no such meaning could be distorted cut o.
