CLOSING PRICES OF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS.
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Monday, Aug Tsp. IN.
Fear governed the speculation in stocks to-day
Wall Street entcrtains a wholesome dread OF
monetary disturbance, and 1t has good and
substantial reasons for il, but rates of 10 TO ID
per cent for call loans are not likely to pull down
il, financial fabric The fears in this respect
were heightened by the efforts of those who hope
for lower prices for stocks. While the compare
tive stringcncy of money was real enough, the
demand for small sums by active brokers was
suspiciously frequent. 1t their misfortune, of
course, that they have been identified for years
with tie bear faction. The reasons have not
vet been explained why active brokers that
side should want loans Of 81 900 at 5 per cent
and he obliged to pass offerings of not over
$50, 900 at legal interest. They form one of the
mysteries of modern fnanciering. 1t must not
be inferred that the high rates for money were
simply the result of manipulation. There was at
times a scarcity Of money, but IL WIS not SUM

the fear of strineency seemed to excite. Inc
weakness of the Vanderbilt shares and the evident
reluctance of the London market to buy stocks

between the two market may AFFORD an eNplana-

Regrets That He is Too Busy to
Make an Exhibit at the Fair.
Mr.. F. +. Collin, the executive
head OF the Collins Manufacturing
company, desires to state his regret
at being unable to have his usual in
teresting exhibit at the faia this year.
The reason is that the company's bus
mess is constantly so increasing as to
keep every man connected with the
extensive establishment employed to
the fullest limit of his powers.
Mr.. Collins, however, will be glad
to greet all his old friends, and
others, desiring to see the best con-
structed manufacturing concern in
Texas, and which turns out the best
windmills and belongings in the
South. His office and factory are on
Houston street, near the bridge, and
it will repay any one to call there
! and inspect the works. 1t is home
enterprise, and the LIGHT, in CON-
mon with all San Antonians is proud
ST it. 10.2-tf.

1t is just as well for republicans not
to depend too much on rumors that
the democratic congressional cam
paign committee has no money and
that 1t is doing nothing towards cap
turing the next house. There are
reasons tor believing that such ru-
mors are being actively circulated
for the express purpose of throwing
the republicans off their guard and
them with an over conf
dence in the result of the November
elections. The democrats have mon
ey in plenty, and will leave no stone
to wrest the controls of the
house from the repu blicaps.

That the Farmers Alliance of North
Carolina have found it necess airy to
take steps looking to the establish
ment of cooperative school at
Moorehead City in that state, speaks
volumes for the poor condition of
their public schools. There is not a
state controlled by the republican
party, in which better educational
facilities are not furnished to all
without pay, than can possibly be
obtained, outside of the half dozen
expensive colleges in the southern
states for pay. When the southern
voters are educated, more of them will
become republicans.

1t should bring blush of shame to
the face of those democrats, who see
ing the failure of the effort of their
allies, the New York spectators, to
bring on financial panic, frustrated
by the prompt actions of Secretary
Window, now criticise that official
tor having gone too far in increasing
the amount of money in circulation.

The regular ration for laborer in
this country consists of four pounds
of salt pork and seven quarts of -four
per week, which is delivered to him
every Sunday morning. The abun-
dance of game and wild fruit enabled
the mahogany laborer to save q large
part of his rations, which he either
sells TO his employees or sends home
to his family. The standard of NOR
atty in the mahogany camps Is de-
cidely low. Women of easy virtue
are always present and cause frequent
quarrels and disorder. Disputes and
questions concerning such women are
settled by the Overseer in accordance
with regulations long established and
recognized by the laborers; for in
stance, q man who entices a woman
away from another with whom she
had been living, must pay all expens-
es incurred by the latter in bringing
her to the camp, supplying her with
clothing and ornaments.

neer, who, though only twenty-seven
years of age, has already been decor
ated for the ability he has shown,
claims to have discovered the best
means of communication between
England and the continent. He pro-
poses pier or yiaduct on each side
of the channel. These piers are to be
connected by tunnel with continu-
Gus rails, the descent from the bridge
to the tunnel being effected in a tube
by any system serving for steep or
vertical inclines. The distance from
the extremity of the pier to the mouth
of the tunnel will be only
so or 100 yards. 1t will not
| obstruct the navigation or
create any international difficulty,
for the pillars of the piers are to be
| 500 yards apart, with height of fifty
yards, and will be no obstacle to navi-
cation. The scheme can be carried
out in six years. 1t meets strategic
| difficulties, for the tunnel terminates
out at sea on both sides, and If the
connection between pier and tunnel is
interrupted, the train can not ascend
or descend, for when the tube is de-
stroyed the tunnel is submerged.
Thus, at the slightest warlike move.
ment, each power would be obliged,
for its own security aud to avoid ruin
Gus dangers, to give up the use OF
what may be called the mixed pass
| age.
