THE MARKETS.
Stocks Active 49, Closed Heavy-wheat
Closed Higher.

NEW York, Nov. 1.-THE stock market was
very active this forenoon, and prices for soms
OF the most active sto3ks quite feverish and
irregular. In the aftcrno n II driItcd into de-
cided dullness, especially when efforts were
made to check the tendency TO lower quota
tons, which was a prominent feature of the
the first prices were Irregular ranging between
decline OF q and an advance Of ~ but In the
carly dealings there was a general decline, fol-
lowed by reaction, during which In many
cases the highest prices of the day were made,
while In others the opening quotations were
the best figures reached. For time after mid
day the market was steady, then developed In
creased activity, but during the last hour iluc-
tuations were within very narrow limits, aud
quotations were about steady until near tho
close, when they yielded small fractions, aud
the market closed heavy.
The special feature of to-day's operations was
the strength developed IN Union Pncihc,
which was the bull card Of the day, There
Is feeling among conservative houses which
Is beginning TO il1d expression in the street
that the market has advanced 30 rapidly due
ing the last three months rs TO be in danger
Gus condition. The moro cautious spectators
nre calling attention to the fact that the banks
reserves arc being steadily absorbed, and they
predict more active money market In the
near future. The opinion Is expressed that a
few Of the leading operators could. by tying up
small panic In Wall street.
Money on call continues easy at 2IS and
for most Of the business, with extreme quota
tons at 81. Closing loan was made at "a.
Foreign exchange continue dull and quotations
unchanged. Actual business 1883 for G0-day
bills, and 4s5 for demand. Posted rates, 433I3

ErCZe His Feet,

Night before last, John Swecny,
an old ranchcr who runs pasture
patch north east Of the city, drove
home about II o'clock behind a
horse known in bone yard circles
as Badly. On attempting to alight
from his buggy, he found both feet
frozen, and he had to call his wife
to help him out of the blackboard.
It appears that his misfortune
was not due entirely to the weather,
just as he left the Opera Hall
Saloon, Gillhooly packed several
cakes of ice in the blackboard, and
Sweeney, not knowing what was
there wedged his feet in between
and they were frozen before he
knew 1t. He says he will raise his
own ice crop after this.

a Very Novel Wager.

A novel wager was made in Mid
dletown the other day between a
young lawyer and a gentleman en-
gagged in business in New York.
Each is the father Of boy baby.
Of which he is very proud, and the
conversation happened to turn
upon the youngsters. Each father
was emphatic in his assertions that
his offspring was larger and more
promising than that of his friend.
The outcome of the talk was an
agreement that each should de
posite 500 in the sayings bank,
there to remain with principal and
interest untouched, until both the
babies have attained the age of p
years. On attaining this majority
each of the babies is to be weighed,
and the one tipping the scales at
the greatest weight is to be Ell
titled to the 5000 and interest.
