NEW York, oct 2J.-The stock MARKET was
very active md strong ut the opening this
morning, the sales for the first half hour
amounting to over 10000 shares Prices which
at the opening were closed on Saturday made
further gains Of = to q per cent, although the
were ut or about the best of the day. Bjth the
activity and the advance eliminated In about
half an hour, and from that time until 3 o'clock
the market was weak, although the decline
was not continuous. Aftcr n moderate Yield
ing IN prices the market would become steady,
and SO continue for time to be followed by
renewed weakness, and again steady to firm
quotations. This feature continued to the close,
and in the final dealings, although somewhat
Irregular, prices were generally about steady
at or near the lowest quotations reached, aud
from y to ~ per cent lower than they clio Sod
Saturday.
Money on cnll Is in somewhat better demand
at 2Gi per cent, closing NJ 2. Foreign ex-
change continues dull and quotations have
been reduced to 4S3 for sixty.day bills and
4t5l4 for demand, posted rates. Government
bonds are dull aud strong State bonds have
been dull and heavy.
CHICAGO, Oct. %. There was an unicttled
and nervous feeling In the wheat mlrkgt t..
day and fluctuations were humorous and very
rapid, with narrow range. RumOrS of an
open rupture between SeTvia and Bulgaria had
the effect of causing shorts to cover, besides
inducing other speculative buying, bit British
COnsuls did not show any special change from
Saturdays quoting, only 1.iGth decline for nc-
count, and French securities were quoted
higher. With every advance In the price Of
wheat there was some desire to realize, which
would cause n reaction.

The Very Valuable Information Derived
from Observing Them.
Cincinnati Enquirer
And what's the use of eclipses' many
will ask. A great deal of information
about the sun has been derived from OBJ
serving them. Many dates in ancient
history have been verified, Tor the time
of their occurrence can be calculated
with accuracy. During the cele.
brated eclipse of July 20, 1878,
Edison, the American electrician, OBJ,
tanned clear evidence that heat was
emitted by the suns corona. \ delicate
heat measurer, called the tasimeter, OF
his own invention, was used, and,
though Edison could not measure the
heat Of the corona, yet he obtained un-
mistakable evidence of its existence.
He was only prevented from measuring
it by the intensity being greater than he
expected The index, which was to
show by pointing TO some part of a
scale the exact amount OF heat received
from the corona, went of the scale al,
together as soon as the suns heat fell
on the tasimeter. Before the index
conld be brought lack again to the
scale the sln had rtappeared
IL was also shown in the same eclipse
that the corona ordinarily seen is in
reality but small part of the real sys.
TEN of appendages existing outside of
the sun. Professor Able, of Washing
ton, by observing the eclipse from sta
tons high above sea level, traced the
coronal streamers TO distance of ten
sun breadthes. or at least 5000, 900
miles from the sun, while Professor
Neweomb traced the coronal luminosity
along the zodiacal region 10 a distance
twice as great So that now it is known
that the zodiacal light, which is seen in
autumn mornings and spring evenings
near the suns place, below the horizon,
is the outer appendage whose brighter
core was traced to distance of 10000
900 miles on that occasion. Thus the
atmospheric theory Of the corona is dis
posed of.
Photographs taken from the shadow
projected near the eye-piece were taken
in the eclipse of lo71, and they dis
posed of the lunar theory, which was
advocated by no less an astronomerthan
Sir John Herschel, and also Airy; for,
If the suns rays, by shining in matter

moons path. produced the coronal rays,
it is evident that. as the eclipsing moon
passed onward, the long rays would

The PreynIence'o OF Cancer,


Cancer. the disease with which Grant
| is au.Icted. is more prevalent than is
perhaps generally supposed. In Massa-
chusetts. according TO The Springfield
Republican. il is one of the twelve most
destructive diseases, although not quite
as uniform as other diseases, being
more prey alent in some localities than
others. IL chiefly affects those between
40 AMI 20 years of age, and is more
likely to attack women than men.
An English writer says il is increas-
ing in that country, but more among
the rich and prosperous than among the
POOR. On this account he attributes it
to luxurious eating. The French Stats
tics, however, show that the death rate
among the rich is only one-third more
than among the poor, showing that
good living and luxury may aggravate,
but does not cause. the trouble Cancer
prevails among domestic animals but
not among wild ones. The only cure,
and that is by no means certain, is the
knife or caustic. the knife being much
the less painful remedy.
The Republican is of the opinion that
Gen. Grant is good subject for the
disease. "Sinee his return from EUROPE
he has presented the appearance of a
man of good living, full habit, and very
little exercise, still attached 10 his cigar
He has been abstemious in the use Of

All Gone Up in smoke.

\ well-known merchant of New FORK
City Is said 10 be the greatest smoker
in the United States. He is tall, stout.
good-looking man, weighing about $50
pounds. According to his own state
ment he smokes a dozen prime cigars
every morning before breakfast How
many he demolishes during the rest of
the day Is not reported.
Last summer it was this gentleman 5
custom to go to business every morn
ing from Queens County, travelling
down the East River on the James slip
boat. As soon as he got on board he
laced a square basket. which he in
variably carried, on the floor. Then he
lifted the lid and produced therefrom
an immense cigar ease, 4 piece of wax
candle, and box of matches. Having
placed these handy, he unfastened his
cuffs, drew them off and laid them in
the basket. Then he removed his neck
tie and collar. and deposited them by
the side of his cuffs. Then he unfas-
tened his capaeious vest and allowed
the breeze to fan his prodigious chest.
He was now ready for business. He
lighted match and ignited a piece of
wax candle, which he laid in a secure
.spOb. NcAI he uTtW from MS cigar
case three, four or five cigars, as the
fancy took him. Producing a Rubber
band from his vest pocket he cunningly
twistedit around the cigars so as to
unite them all abreast. Then he put
the small ends in his mouth and APP
piled the wax candle to the other of the
cigars until all were well lighted. Lean
ing back he enjoyed life, sending clouds
of smoke into the air.
He has made great variety of an
swers to persons who have questioned
him as to his passion for smoking. To
one he said: MY doctor tells me to
smoke" To another: Il smoke be-
cause l like il" To another: Il smoke
because my wife says | mustn't To
another: ''It's none of your business"
with word before business which
the Eagle never tolerates in print.
Those who know him say he is very
jolly man, and a skillful business man
ager. He is nearly fifty years of age.
