Nearly Everything Materially
Lower at the Wind.Up.
NEW YORK, October THE stock mar.
ket to-day continued to feel the effects Of
the stringency in money. The tone of the
dealings remained heavy to weak almost
throughout the day, and while the move
ments of importance were confined to few
stocks and the remainder moved only
within narrow limits, the extreme declines
ranged up to per cent, and the weak stocks
did seven-eighths of the business. The
weakness in the Trusts was again the most
conspicuous feature of the market, but while
clique support was noticeable in some por-
tions of the regular list, Burlington, which
has been the strong feature for the past few
days, weakened, and drive at Missouri Pa
CHIC met with good success on some rumors of
new complication in Atchison. and the latter
followed with material decline.
Louisville and Nashville and Manhattan
we're specially strong in the forenoon. and both
did much to stem the decline among the stocks
of the regular list bu. weakness on other
specialties such as Jersey Central, Delaware
and Hudson, and some others neutralized their
effect. Manitoba dropped precipitately in the
last hour upon an attempt to market block of
the stock. There were rumors of decision in
the case of the North River Sugar Refinery,
and they helped to drive that stock down and
against bottom, but stories of a dissension
among the directors were used with considera-
ble effect. There was no news of importance
beyond the encouraging reports Of the condi-
tlon OF general business, and the bears were
both active and aggressive, being assisted by
leading operator from Boston and a delegation
from Chicago.
The bank statement of Saturday was an in
huential factor in opening the market weak,
and sugar was of ~ per cent Money was
tight and renewals were made at from8 to
per cent, while money was afterward bid up by
some manipulation to Is per cent, The trusts
were conspicuous from the opening for weak
ness. The easing up of money gave better
tone to the dealings toward delivery hour. but
Manitoba dropped per cent, and the others
again followed, the market closing weak at
close to lowest prices. The list is generally
materially lower. Louisville and Nashville
being the only marked exception, with gain
of lI per cent. Cotton Oil is down 2sss: Mani
toba 6; Sugar 2: Atchison and Missouri Pacific

AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
Electric Money Down But Holders Do Not
Lose Their Heads,

The panic in Electric expected by some failed
to materialize yesterday, holders very sensibly
concluding not to make needless sacrifice of
the stock. which is as good as before the de.
cision, since it makes no change in the condi.
ton of the company, which is going right along
as if nothing had happened. Only 25 shares
changed hands. all of which were taken by
Henry NJ. Long. The first sale was at 46, the
second at As, and the third and last at Az. 1t
closed at Az bid and 45Z asked. The small
offerings indicate feeling that will probably
be able to resist further material decline and
pave the way for a reaction.
Central Traction advanced on a good buvino
demand to BIZ. and closed with 80 asked. The
other fractions were neglected. La Noria was
a little firmer, "a being refused for several
hundred shares. One dollar for it is talked of
before the week is over. This prediction. or
guess being based on late news from the mine
to the effect that the ore is showing up richer,
Philadelphia and Wheeling Gas went off A

city government thoroughly grasps the
danger threatening the lives of 100000
citizens. The duty must not be burked.
A rigorous upheaval OF health inSpec-
ton must be instituted. Property own
erS and OccupierS must be compelled to
observe the health ordinance to the very
letter. 1t is no time to play. Life is
dear. The reputation of the city is at
stake. Words will not root out the
trouble. The disease can only be
killed by the strict enforcement
of sanitary laws. All known
vehicles for the dissemination OF the
disease must be closed, and to begin
with there is the Humboldt school. 1t
is situated in the very heart or where
the epidemic is raging, subjecting the
young and tender children to horrible
exposure. Not only thiS-the city coun-
ell must immediate take in hand the dis
pOSal of the garbage and household
refuse. Here lies the whole solution OF
the difficulty confronting the city.
An adequate sewer system has
been provided; the water service is
good, but should be extended with more
vIgor: but outside the fire limits there
is no proper provision made for the dis
pOSal of garbage. The refuse is thrown
into the back alleys. 1t is then allowed
to lie until. the atmosphere for several
hundred yards around is reeking with
impurities. The health inspector passes
by and has the Objectionable matter
removed. But it is the old proverb re-
peated-lOcking the barn door after the
horse is stolen. Before the inspector gets
in his work the impure air has settled
into the systems of those living in the
district, and added force is given to the
spread of ZymOtic diseases.

The best abused set of men in st.
Paul to-day are the court house COM
missioners. The allotment of offices in
the new court house has been no sine
cure. From the mayor to the janitor
there has been one loud. universal
howl. The board of education is now
taking umbrage at the quarters allotted
it, and appear to have reasons for
it. In the first place, upon the
authority of Maj. Postlethwaite,
the commissioners seem to have been
unaware of the existence of such a
board as the board of education. 1t has
mildly limited to the august commission
that the city had expended several mill
ions of dollars in providing buildings
and securing teachers for the instruc-
ton Of the rising generation, and that
there were such individuals as school
inspectors. secretary of the board of
education and school superintendent.
The commissioners rubbed their eyes,
and, becoming awakened to the fact, at
the last hour proceeded to locate the
necessary rooms. Representatives of

Last Services in the Old Central

An old landmark will have disap-

period covering the very existence Of
the Sanity City, and yesterday services
were held in the old edifice for the last
time. The startling progress and pros
perity of the city have long since left
the quaint, old-fashioned place of wor-
ship in the rear, and in accordance with
the fitness Of things, the building is to
give way for more pretentiOus and
modern edifice. The work of demoli-
ton will begin to-day. The life of
city may truly be said to be reflected in
the life of its churches. st. Paul has
not always been prosperous; there have
been years OF trouble, when the horizon
was blackened, and the future looked
very dark. But the cloud has lifted;

had our troublesome days." re-
marked Pastor Maclaren. ''Many

but gradually all difficulties were

is among the most prosperous in the

Presbyterian church has been particu-
larly noticeable the past nine years.
period which covers the paStorate of
Rev. r. F.. Maclaren. The membership
has almost doubled-nineteen new
members were received yeSterday-and
its wealth has increased. 1t has grown
from weak, unpromising condition to
be one of the most powerful churches
in the Northwest. This growth is
demonstrated by the erection OF new
church. 1t was absolutely neces-
sary. The old building was to-
tally inadequate to meet the
growing needs Of the church. 1t was
unsightly, lacking in accommodation,

propaganda. The new building will
cost $4,000. and the furnishing and dec

valued at $4,000. Needless to add, in
beauty of design, comfort, and general
applicability for carrying on the work
of the church, the building will not be
excelled, if equaled, by any sim
liar edifice in the state. Twelve
months must elapse before the
Central Presbyterian congregation
find permanent habitation. The
services next Sunday, and for a time,
will be held in the gymnasium of the 7.
M. c.. A., which will be fitted up for
that purpose. Though the services of
yesterday were the last to be held in the
old church, there was nothing which
distinguished them from the ordinary
weekly service. Rev. r. F. Maclaren
occupied the pulpit, taking for his text
the words: "It is finished' {St. John,
xix.,3O). The remarks were solely based
upon the holy communion, which was
afterwards solemnly administered. The
church was crowded at the morning
service.

CuLTIvA1ING SORGHUM.
Experiments to Be Continued Dur.
ing This Year.

Ing This Year.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-ExperIments
in cultivating and manufacturing sOr-
ghum will be continued this year under
the auspices of the agricultural depart
ment. Prof. Wiley, chemist, last week
laid out the work for field on the
Maryland experimental farm, eight
miles northeast of Washington city, the
employees of the Maryland Agricultural
college, upon the grounds of which the
station is located. On one plat in the
field are planted $50 lots Of pedigreed
seed, taken from stalks grown in Kan
saS, OF which analysis was made. Over
1000 stalks were thus analysed, and the
seed of the $50 showing the highest
percentage of Sacchrine matter saved
for seed to determine whether or not
this excellence is hereditary and can
be perpetuated. On another plat are
planted forty varieties of seed. the
ground being enriched by nineteen diff
ferent kinds Of fertilizers. In the field
are two strips where no fertilizer is
used, the intention being to determine
the best kind OF seed and the best ferti
liZer. Still third plat is planted with
tour kinds of seed which showed the
best results in experiments already
made, and they, too, will be treated by
the various fertilizers manufactured.
An exact duplicate of this experiment
in all details will be made at Sterling,
Kan, the seeds having been divided for
that purpose. Portions of the expert
