TheI Break in Luster the Principal Event
of the Week.
The easier condition of the money marke.
the past week infused q little more vim into
the local stock market and the sales were bet
ter than for some time, footing up nearly I,5O0
shares. Still, investors were cautious and in
disposed to operate except when bargains
stared them in the face. They wanted a sure
thing or nothing.
When everything is prosperous and many
opportunities for investment are presented
stocks are sure to suffer, owing to a certain
proportion of uncertainty which all speculative
interests possess This is sufficient to explain
the lethargic condition of the local stock mar
ket. Real estate is its principal competitor.
The break in Luster was the feature of the
week. A few holders lost patience, or conf
dence, and realized, but the bulk of the stock.

morning traders sold stocks because they de-
clined yesterday. and partly because they ex-
pected decrease in the reserve in the bank
Statement. And yet neither of these things
was any legitimate reason for decline In
stocks under the present circumstances; first,
because stocks had already had such great
decline that they must be nearer the inevitable
turning point and next, because money was
still freely offered for loan on call on stocks
this morning at 8 per eentt. The declining
prices have undoubtedly caused further and
further liquidation, and the liquidation has
caused further decline. 1t is. of course, appa-
rent that this cannot go on always without a
sharp reaction. There have as yet been no
failures in connection with the stock market
and none rumOred.

Judging from local indications already
apparent the National Encampment at De-
troit next year is going to eclipse even the
one at Boston. Comrades who were at Bos-
ton will hardly believe this possible so sue
cessful was it. But the comrades here are
already actively engaged in preparing for
the grip by organizing "Detroit Clubs" and
II 9th ways making arrangements. Post

every meeting and much interest is mani
Tested The reception and hop to be given
at Turner Hall by the association on
Halloween promises to be a very enjoyable
affair. The arrangements are well under
way. Tickets can be procured from Com
rade h. L. Hoburg, No. 362 Fifth avenue.
The membership in Post 1875 association
is not confined to members of the post and
their families, but is open to comrades OF any
other post and their families.
A Amovement is on foot in Post to go to De-
troit in strong numbers. The Entertainment
Committee now has charge of the movement.
At tomorrow nights meeting the committee,
of hich Comrade W. w. Scott is Chairman,
will likely be appointed to have charge of the
arrangements. 1t is expected that $50 members
of the post will take the trip.
Post Al will likely be In line yerv soon, A
large number of the comrades are desirnus of
going and the result will likely be a Detroit
club. The post adopted the plan of organizing
long ahead before the Columbus encampment
two years ago and were very much pleased

CHIcAGO-Wheat-There was more life tc
the market to-day, and higher range Of prices
| was established. The feeling was decidedly
| stronger. In the oversold condition of the
| market was the sharp advance of to-day no
doubt attributable. Many Of the dealers who
were buyers the past day or two were sellers,
and sellers of the past few days were buyers.
The unexpected happened, and operators felt
little nervous over the situation. Some
parties thought the market a healthy one.
Others were rather doubtful and thought it
only a scare to force in some large traders. The
opening was l1Se higher than yesterdays clos
ing and there was some excitement attending
first sales; then eased off &c for December and
Ic for May, advanced, and closed 1900 higher
than yesterday.
Corn attracted more than usual attention, a
large volume of business being transacted
within broader range than any day this week.
I he feeling developed was much stronger, and
higher prices were the rule on all futures. The
advance was due largely to the purchases of
May by several large local houses, two of whom
took in all about 100 900 bushels. Reports were
received from the West stating that corn was
husking ont poorly. First trades were at an
advance of ZQAc. the market selling up an
other lc. reacted 10, then sold up 1c, eased up
&c, ruled drmer and closed with a l1s@1Lc
gain.
Oats-The animation and advance in wheat
and corn had good effect on the market for
oats. Opening sales were &c advance for May,
and further appreciation of &c was recorded.
The other deliveries advanced T65sc with light
trading, and the market closed steady at about
outside figures
Mess pork-Trading was moderate; opening
sales were made at 2]<c advance, but prices
settled back again &c with very little business
reported; later prices rallied 50715o and closed
steady.
Lard-Trade was only fair; near deliveries
were quiet and rather slow. with little change
to note in prices; the longer deliveries were
frmer and 2]]505c higher, with tair trading.
Short rlbs-A fair business was transacted;
offerings of the near deliveries were light; the
longer deliveries were in fair request; prices
ruled 218@5c higher, and the market closed
steady at outside figures.

notes, OF which number are in circulation in
this city: All United States Treasury notes

ure, engraving being mainly relied on by the
Government to prevent imitation. AS numer-
Gus counterfeits appeared on the old
issues, the Government was obliged to
adopt in 1859, a special paper. the distinctive
feature of which was narrow localized tint of
short blue fiber running the entire length of the
sheet in such a manner as not to lessen its
strength or interfere with the printing. When
examined under the microscope these fibers
have the appearance of coarse black hairs of
different lengths and shapes, scattered promis-
cuously, regardless Of regularity, over the en-
tire surface. This paper is known as the Will
cox patent In 1878 another feature of fiber
paper was adopted, somewhat similar, with
two silk threads running lengthwise through
out the note. This is known as the Crane pat
ent This paper is still In use. The threads
are quite distinct under the microscope, They
cannot be seen in the counterfeits.

Saved by q Key.

A veteran bank officer, who has had hab-
itat on Fourth avenue for 40 years or more told
the following story yesterday: 1.-THE safe we
used when we opened up for business, and for
a long time afterward, had ponderous door,
and was considered absolutely burglar-proof.
Perhaps it was, but modern cracksman could
open such thing in about two minutes. The
key was about two feet long, and weighed
nearly four pounds, and it was part of my duty
to carry it. l lived in Allegheny City. Going
home one dark night after a hard days work at
the bank, 1 was stopped by big bury fellow
who wanted to know the time. Instead Of
pulling out my watch drew and leveleu the
big key at the man, who no doubt thinking it
it was a horse pistol turned on his heel and
made off as fast as his legs could carry him. I
>thought more of the key after that"

George Cole, a Neville Island gardener. re-
turning home from the city yesterday with a
wagon load of goods, drove so near the edge of
the road at the bridge that his horses fell into
the river and were drowned.
A local fnancier yesterday solved the mys-
terry of the money panic. 1t was not caused by
speculation, said he, but by the outflow of
money West and South to move the crops.
