" "il-ouSSI bIOheTS ullu directors arrived 81
their offices at an unusually early hour this
morning, and there was anxiety every
where 10 know what the stock market
would do at the opening, but confidence
was observable IN nearly every instance
Hhere opinions were expressed, and Lon
don quotations. which were here nearly
nan an hour before the opening of the
New 1ork Stock Exchange, were reassur-
ing. In the Board dense crowd of brokers
stood in the Lake Shore corner awaiting
The fall of the Chairman's gavel. When it
came 1t was followed by wild excitement
ior few minutes, and q struggle between
those who had orders to close out their
account at the opening and others who
were there to support the market or buy
upon the assumption that the opening
figures would be the lowest. In other parts
OF the room the crowd was less pushing,
and the excitement was no greater than is
oiten witnessed at the opening Of the
Board. The opening quotations for Lake
Shore were 50, but the next sale
reported was at S5l, and the next
at S54 The dealings were in large
lots OF 800 to 1000 shares, and for short
time different prices were ruling. At the
same time the opening figure reported for
Lake Shore marked a decline of 3 from last
evenings closing figures. New York Cen
tral was of Z and Jersey Central 24. The
rest of the list showed declines ranging
from II to II. Excitement in the Lake
Shore crowd soon subsidized, and the whole
market advanced from to H. The gains
were mostly lost later in the hour, and at
II O'Clock the market was active and
rather heavy at figures generally little
above the opening. The market was very
active, with the heaviest trading in Lake
Shore, ST. Paul and Western Union. The
wires both east and west are working
badly, cutting off for time both selling
and supporting orders from out of town
customers.

Rev. Sam Jones in st. Louis
ST. LOUIS, December 9th-Sam Jones.
the revivalist, may have 10 stand a lawsuit
here for his speech delivered before large
congregation last week. In it he saw fit 10
refer to Governor Marmaduke as ian old
swill tub, and there is considerable indig-
nation manifested over the epithet applied
VI.
some persons are in favor of holding an
indignation meeting for the purpose of
handling the Rev. Sam without gloves.
The exact language was: " How can YOU
reform any State in Ged Almighty world
with an old swill tub for Governor and two
or three old wash tubs for Supreme Judges.
[Great applause.] The man who is pri-
vately corrupt cannot be politically pure
[great applausel; and the first thing we did
when we wanted to reform Georgia was to
put God fearing men and good men in au-
thority, and, by the grace of God, we have
the best State in America. You run a
freight train through Georgia on Sunday
and the conductor and crew employed on
it will stop in Jail that night [cries of
good and applausel; and you open bar
room in our State on Sunday, and YOU will
stop in Jail that night. [Applause.] We
have a good Governor and an undesecrated
Sunday i'll Georgia, and they are as precious
to us as our wives and our children"

California Fruits in the East.
New YORK, December 1Qth-A. M.-The
Tribune, in an editorial on California fruits.
says: The organization OF California fruit
growers is of recent date but has already
removed some grave obstacles to COM
merce. The California theory of the extent
of the Eastern market requires important
modification The fact is that but for the
blind greed of the middlemen this market
would be supplied copiously from neigh
boring sources. The rapacity of deal
ers, not content with reasonable
profits, has practically killed the
popnlar demand for fruit. Shonld Cali
