uONEy dND BrSJNESS

The improvement which The TWDUNr pre-
dictcd as a result Of better information "a 10
the prospects of Republican success, has now
been in progress 80 long that tho temper of the
Street haa wholly changed 1b, same men who
were ab mdly confident OF much lower prices
in the datlcei days of May or june. In moat
casos. are now buying as II sure that nothing
could arrest the advance. Even the cooler men,
who know that the Street generally Overdue,
everything, consider that there Ia likely
to be- much further advance, because prices
are not yet IN their estimation, above the
natural aud legitimate level. TO this reason
ing measure of assent must be given; prices
have by no means reached a general average
proportional to the dividend paying power of
properties, if what now appears to be that
power is to be maintained. Moreover, with
large crops and cheap materials, cheap food
and low wages, the railroads ought to do not
merely as well as they have done, but better
than they have been doing at any time since
the recent enormous addition. to the railway
facilities of the country. Bht it docs not fol
low that the recovery will be continuous or
unbroken.
The chronic and crazy "bears.n though they
cannot resist the advance in prices, are contin-
ually croaking that the great holders will pres
emily sell out the Immense load OF stockso
that they have Accumulated during the rise -
But no uuprtjudiced observer can see evidence
that the great holders have beenaccumuating:
on the contrary, there are many indications that
they do not hold n larger body of stocks
than they did when the lowest prices
were touched. Nor is there much reason
TO suppose that they will be in haste
TO sell out while the circumstances seem to
promise much greater advance in the not dis
tant future. When crops move freely, and
trade and manufactures revive, and the country
reoces in n certainty that its financial policy
isnot To be changed, it is reasonable TO expect
that higher prices will rule than are now made.
| The questions at present arc whether the crops
are going TO move freely, and whether the de-
maud for money may no; III that case cause
sttingency and reaction in the markets.
There seems TO be reason for the opinion that
many farmers are disinclined to sell their wheat
mt present prices. The movement thus far has
| been large, but not as large as might have been
expected, in view of the magnitude of the crop.
| But the mischicvOus systcm OF dealing upon
margins which usually helps spectators to
| fleece producers, helps the farmer in this case
to sell wheat without moving it or tell
| ing anybody, and it is not possible now

proofs OF bad consistency
The Democratic family quarrel in West Nir-
einia grows livelier every day. Its present
phase seems to be a struggle for ana
against a free press. The Editor oil
The Register in Wheeling has been
using plain language concerning his brethren
and the State government, and has been threat
ened with challenges and libel suits in good
old-fashiOned fire-eater style On Saturday the
entire Democratic household in that city was in
an uprOar. but no pistol shots have yet been
heard This condition of affairs hardly bears
out the statement made at the meeting OF the
National Democratic Committee the other day
that the Democrats of West Virginia had set
tied all differences and would work harmonious,
" for Cleveland and Hendricks.
1t has been asserted with good deal of sus-
picious heat by the resident correspondents of
certain English journals. that Paris is a par
ticuiarly healthful city, and that 1t need not be
avoided by travellers even If good many
cases of cholera should exist there. In certain
narts of the French capital people who take
care of themselves probably would i've I'M
harmed through cholera siege; but, as is
shown in a letter from The TRiBUNE's Paris
correspondent printed on another page OF TINS
Issue, the portions of Paris occupied by the
poorer classes are far from clean. They get
their water from the Seine, while the water Tor
the best neighborhoods comes from other and
purer sources; SO that if the plague should OBJ
tain hola IN the city, while it might spare the
rich, il certainly would do bitter work among
the poor.

BOWIE, Oct. ll.-lSpecial.l- pre-
found sensation was produced in thi'
unusually quiet and orderly little city
on Yesterday afternoon, by the arrest o.
the city marshal, j. W. Haskew, and
the ex marshal, John Brooks, upon the
charge of theft of property of consider
able value; and the excitement was in
creased when Sheriff Campbell, with
Deputy McLain, after searching
the house of Marshal Haskew,
returned with some six or eight
pairs of boots, n watch and chain, porte
monte and other articles OF Jewelry'
found in the house mentioned. The
boots were recognized as part of a lot
stolen from Mr.. Burns boot and shoe
shop some ten days ago, and the remain
ing articles identified as the same which
one Matte had stolen about two weeks
since. The prisoners were taken to Mon
tague, the county seat, by Sheriff Camp
bell and Deputy McLain, assisted by
two rangers, yesterday evening, and
lodged in the county Jail.
