The Largest Dealings In Stocks-Bull-
ish Feeling in Wall street,
New York, Oct. .5.-The dealings OF
stocks to-day have been the largest for q
long time, and the trading after the first
hour has seldom II ever been exceeded; II
was over one-third OF the days business.
The feeling was more bullish this morning,
and London became a heavy purchaser OF
all the specalties and advanced all over
the list, though subject to frequent set
backs. Heavy realizing In New England
and Western Union was the feature OF the
morning trading, the former dropping per
cent. IN a very short time, and In the after
noon IL yielded per cent. further, which
was recovered at the close. The realiza-
tioDs brought out great deal Of stock, and
those who were still long came to the res.
cue in the afternoon and rallied the stock.
The decline in Western Union seems TO
be the natural reaction from the sharp ad-
vance Of the last few days, Louisville,
Nashville and Missouri Pacific became the
leaders in the afternoon, and the so-called
Gould properties were specially strong,
and IN the case OF Missouri Pacific there
was rumor of valuable rights to be given
| to the stockholders in a short time, land
some talk Of stock dividend. There were
| frequent reactions, the trading being very
feverish throughout the day, and the market
closed barely firm on a rally.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Potomac Fruit Growers Association was
held last evening at the residence Of DIR. T..
P. Howland. The essay Of the evening was
by DR.. Rowland on his visit to Charleston
and the earthquake region Of Ten-Mile
Hin and Summerville. He exhibited, with
the magic lantern, large number Of the
150 photographs that he had taken, and
graphically described his seven days. visit
to the shaken city. The demolished aud
wrecked walls OF the houses, tho con-
demned city hospital and jail, the post
office and city hall, propped up by 100 tim
bers to keep the walls from falling; tho
immense scaffolding used to support and
repair the United States custom house,
where fallen bricks and tlmbers crushed
out human lives, were presented with q
vividness and reality that those present
will never forget.
DR.. Rowland will soon give illustrated
lectures in the churches for the benefit OF
the Charleston sufferers, where all can have
an opportunity Of witnessing the ELECTS OF
the most wonderful phenomenon that has
happened on the North American continent
within the history Of man.
Charleston has suffered severely In the

The earthquake devastation was greater
far than any newspaper account has con
veyed. No house. escaped injury. The

not embrace one-tenth of the damage hC

Mako Pilgrimage to This CITY ana
Surprise Our knights.
Columbian Commandery, of Norwich,
Conn, few weeks ago decided to make
pilgrimage to this city, and, as the fraters
are very modest and retiring, concluded
that they would quietly drop down on the
capital OF the nation, and avoid all formal
parades, receptions, &c. In this they were
partially successful. They arrived yester-
day afternoon, and, with the band, are
ninety,six strong, and found committee,
representing Washington, Columbia, and
De Molay Communicates, waiting to bid
them welcome. The notice to the home
Templars OF the coming of the pilgri ms had
been so short that there was not
time TO do more than designate
joint reception committee to meet them.
The knights were escorted TO the National
Hotel, where they will be quartered during
their sojourn In the city. The committee
met last night and made what arrange
ments they could to entertain their guests.
The President will receive them to-day at
1880 p. M, and at $3.50 o'clock they will
be taken to Mt. Vernon, returning four
hours later. Thursday they will be shown
the places of interest about the city. The
members OF the home communicates regret
that they were kept In Ignorance OF the
intended visit Of the Connecticut Com
mandery, as they are debarred from ex'
tending the Templar welcome and un-
stinted hospitality.
