NEW YORK, October 19.-The stock market
was quiet to-day, but feverish and irregular,
with considerable weakness in the coal stocks
and Grangers, while the trusts and the rest Of
the regular list were in the main firm to

for Cotton Oil, which was up "a per cent, and
large purchases by o certain broker aided in
carrying the price of that stock up rs per cent
farther.
The others followed slowly, but realizing by
the traders at the top figures induced some
hammering by the BEARS and the advances in
the general list were all wiped out with some
thing in addition before the close Of the first
hour. Jersey Central and Rock Island were
dRRepped to ssns as EVENING" as%i and
never recovered the decline. Rock Island lost
N to 9654
The pressure was then removed and price,
again rallied, and when the bank statement
was issued, showing an increase in the surplus
reserve, which brought it up above the legal
requirement, the upward movement became
accelerated. There was too little time left to
establish any marked advances, and the closing
figures were generally close to those of the
opening.
Among the specialties Pullman gave way
readily, and scored loss of ~ per cent, but
the market was devoid Of other special
features. Cotton Oil is up 2 per cent tonight,
and Jersey Central is down like amount,
but the other changes are for slight fractions

In the death of General John T. Hartranft
the Grand Army loses a prominent and
active worker. he was the fourth Com
mander-in-Chief of the organization. He
served the term of 1856. His life and
war record have been published by the daily
papers, and it will not be necessary to give
them here; but one feature of his soldier
career has not been published recently, one
which is decidedly interesting. General
Hartranft was the hero of one of the most
brilliant charges recorded in history.
Bis regiment, the Fifty-frst Pennsylvania
Infantry, achieved historic prominence at
Antietam. Here the famous charge across
the stone bridge which spans Antietam creek
was made by the Fifty-frst Pennsylvania under
the command of Hartranft, then Colonel,
assisted by the Fifty-frst New York, under
command of Colonel Robert b. Potter. The
enemy's rife pits and batteries commanded the
approach to the bridge; but after repeated at
tempts by other troops, Colonel Hartranft led
his regiment across the narrow roadway OF the
span ana gained position on the opposite side.
This remarkably daring piece of work brought
Colonel Hartranft into prominent notice, and
be was shortly made Brigadier General.
