The fair of Post Isl will be opened at Sails
bury Hall, southside, on next Tuesday even

the big Exposition after the fair commences
There will be wealth of attractive features.
A phonograph will be one of them. A printing
press and sewing machines all operated by
steam will add interest. A musical and liter
Rry entertainment will be given every evening.
There Will be hall entirely separate from the
main hall for dancing. So if any be opposed
TO dancing, they will not be incpnvenienced at

at all times. The object is to Iiquidate the
debt on the posts building and for the benefit
Of the charity fund A pleasant evening is as

NEW YORK, October l2-For the first time
In weeks the stock market was comparatively
free from bear pressure to-day, and, left to its
natural bent, the market improved in all its
departments. The closing prices in London
were higher than our figures of last evening,
and while London seemed to be doing little in
this market, all the London favorites were
strong. Careful observers thought that they
detected buying of Atohison, Cotton Oil and
New England by the bear party, which has
been so active in the market for the past two
weeks. though New England was if anything
rather neglected. Z
Some buying of Manhattan sent that stock
up rapidly, and with the Chesapeake and Ohio
stocks it was the feature of the market toward
the close, the latter being aided by trip Of the
Vanderbilts over the line. The advances in
first prices over last evenings figures were from
u to "a percent and further fractional gains
were scored all over the List in the early deal
ings though the only real activity was in Atch-
ison, which was taken largely from 281l to 29H
Sugar was especially weak at first, and de-
clined to So from IS, and recovering its loss
again declined to 81 A portion of this was re-
covered toward the close, however. There was
considerable selling OF Missouri Pacific after IL
o'clock, when there was some demonstration
made against prices by the traders, on the ex-
pectatiOn of a further decrease in the reserves
of the banks; but the statement when issued,
showed an increase in that respect, and the
buying assumed larger proportions than
at any previous time Of the day.
Manhattan and Manitoba were specially strong
at this time and everything advanced with
them, the market finally closing active and
strong at the best prices of the session. The
list is almost invariably higher this evening
and while most Of the changes are for insignif-
cant fractions Manhattan is mp ~; Atchison,
Big Four Louisville and Nashville and Union

Railroad bonds were more animated and
showed q lrmer tone than usual Of late, though
the changes during the session were in but few
cases for more than slight fractiona

ARRANGEMENTS have been completed
for the reunion of the Seventy-eighth Penn

THE WEEKS BANKING.
Exchanges Fall or Two Millions, But They
Are Large.

Exchanges Fall on Two Millions, But They
Are Large.
The exchanges last week were over 81 00O, 600
smaller than for the week before. This was
due to bad weather for several days and a halt
in checking. The quarterly settlements too,
have been pretty well squared up, which is an
other reason for the decline. Still, the record
is an excellent one-one of the best of the year
and is away ahead of that of the same time
last year, when it was thought business was
phenomenally active, the gain being 81, 81, :
528 %. The daily average OF exchanges for the
week was s., $50 81. These figures repre-
sent a very active movement in all the leading
lines of trade.
Bankers reported moderate demand for
money, of which there was no scarcity, and
rates steady at 6@7 as the extremes, while dis
counting and depositing were about up to the
average of the week. There were no special
influences at work to affect the local money
market either way, and it is settled that 1t will
rule easy the rest of the year. Pittsburg is re-
ceiviDg more money than she is paying out.
New York is also in an easier position the tide
in the South and West having turned in her
favor.
The Clearing House report for the day, week
and year is a good thing for croakers, if any

OIL MOVES UP.
1t Goes Above Dollar and Closes at That
Figure.

The opening of the oil market yesterday was
rather tame, but &c higher than the close of
Friday. About II o'clock the feeling became
bullish. A broker summoned enough courage
to buy 1000 barrels, and in about a minute the
price advanced one-half cent. Firmness con-
tinued from that time on until near the close
when q break occurred, and final figures showed
a concession of one-eighth from the highest
point of the day.
Just before the close the best quotation Of
the day was made, 81 001s being freely bid, but
there was very little of the stuff to be had, and
business failed to respond to the advence. The
boom. therefore, was of short duration. The
little furry was natural result from the leth-
argy of the past few months, dealers being
anxious to get out of the rut somehow. and the
Hump was due 70 lack of support showing

Is the inscription on an unknown grave
At Newport News, beside the salt sea wave,
Nameless and dateless; sentinel or scout
Shot down in skirmlsh, or disastrous rout
or battle, when the loud artillery drave
The iron wedges through the ranks of brave
And doomed battalions storming the redoubt
Thou unknown hero sleeping by the sea
In thy forgotten gravel with secret shame
feel my pulses beat, my forehead burn,
When remember thou hast given for me
All that thou hadst, thy life, thy very name,
Ana can give thee nothing in return.
