NEW YoRR, Oct. 6.--Governments
steady.
State bonds dull.
Railway bonds slightly lower for
speculative issues.
Speculation on the Stock Exchange at
times to-day was characterized by
activity and buoyancy. Dealings were
well distributed. The prices current In
many instances were the highest for
some time. At the opening there was an
advance Of y to Ia, Delaware 4 Hudson
and Louisville 4 Nashville scoring the
greatest improvement. Changers, Mis-
souri, Pacific, Union Pacific and Pa
cific Mail were all In brisk demand, ad-
vancing u to ~. This WAS succeeded
by a reaction of a TO Il, but later fresh
buying movement set In. MANY stocks
sold up to the highest point Of the day
IN the final dealings. Some shares sold
OIL fractiOnally, but the market In the
main was strong. The strength OF the
market was due 10 purchases both for
local and oul-of-town account. Union
Pacific advanced ON tho favorable
statement Of the operators OF the COM
pany for August. The report that the
Central Pacific intended 10 withdraw its
Hong Hong line, had good effect on
Pacific Mail. Central Pacific went

Hon. Barnett Gibbs, State Senator
Governor OF the State OF Texas, returned
yesterday from canvass OF q portion of
East and extreme West Texas, and SAYS
that everything is favorable for a large
majority for the State and national
ticket in those localities. He thinks tn
majority in East Texas will be mate
rally increased, as the GreOnbackers
say that they will not vote for Jones, as
he has demorali2ed the party In Texas.
The best class of Republicans, who feel
an interest in the prosperity of the
state, are voting tor Ireland, or Judge
Norto'. Those democrats who are
strong for the State ticket
AZ anybody else, and fully realize that
their best chance tor n change in the
land policy is by presenting the ques-
tion ~ Democrats to Democratic Leg
lslature. They admit that Wash Jones
has no show, and that If he did have
that his recommendations To the Legis-
laturo would have less weight than that
of q member of the House or Senate.
He says the Governor had good audi
ence ut Colorado City, and that he heard
quite y number of leading citizens CON
demn the insult offered him during the
day by the extreme Wash Jones men.
Senator Gibbs Is sanguine OF AN in
creased majority for Ireland. The SEN
ator goes from here to Albany, Cisco.
