WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Monday, Nov. 3-p. m.
The transactions in sugar refineries stock
to-day were much larger than the combined
sales of all other stocks in both the regu-
lar and miscellaneous departments OF The
Stock Exchange. In other words, stock over
which the board has not the slightest control was
the centre of speculative interest The ffuctua-
tons in this stock are hardly worthy OF notice,
because they were, as usual, purely speculative.
All that it is necessary to say about the course OF
prices is that after many fluctuations, the stock
lost over 4 per cent and that, too. after final
rally of per cent. The excuse for the selling
was the decision in the Cameron suit that the
trust could be properly wound up only by the
appointment Of receivers. Both sides in the suit
were invited to make nominations for the office,
and there is some reason for believing that the
court may add another for the mere purpose OF
seeing justice done. II ought not to be over
looked that strenuous efforts were put forth to Gre
ate the impression that inside holders of the stock
were the greatest sufferers by what was called
an unexpected decision. It was not alleged, per-
haps fortunately, that the principal interest in
the trust repeated the experiment OF showing It's
original certificates to prove that it was not selling
the stock. 1t certainly cannot be necessary to
reprint the aiidavits in the suit to convince pub
In the stock. There is no speculation in betting
on a sure thing. Aside from the discussions in
the management Of the Trust, there is no reason
to think that the inside interests have lost money
by any of the fluctuations.
The regular stock market was dull and strong.
There was contirued selling, apparently for
European account, Of Louisville and Nashville
and other fayorites of foreign Spectators but the
offerings were taken promptly and, as a rule.
prices hardened. Whether the buying was for
investment is a question that may not be
swered oir,hand II 1t was only to protect short
contracts it was adequate to affect the continued
liquidation by foreign holders. The course of the
market was opposed to the decline in Sugar Trust.
the selling for London account and the frmness
in the rates for money. An active market be-
tween two holidays was not to be expected, but
the strength Of the general list was surprise.
Among the speciaties New-JerSey Central and
Wheeling and Lake Erie common were strong
and Illinois Central conspicuously weak The
closing was dull at nearly the highest points for
the day.

The Color Line up North.

Or Theodore L. Cuyler in the Evangelist.)
 Probably no more refined and thoro- ughly Christian company of guests gather anywhere than at Friend Smiley's charming (Mohonk Mountain) hotel :; yet if a half dozen of the most cultured colored families were to engage rooms here for the season, the house might as we'll be shut up. What is more, the colored Christians could not be induced to come here, any more than I can in- duce 'sAunt Chloe'' to come to my church, as long as she can go and hear her eloquent Brother Pompey Pound text when he gets de power, and puts in de rousements." This barrier be- tween the races is not yet "burned away" and is not likely to be. Never theless our colored brethren ought to have, and may have, every religious and civil right in spite of this separating wall.

there were two Sem1-clrcle gallerleS to
 the room. There was large curtain
 in front and on each side of it were two
 or three tiers of bay windows with peo- pie sitting in them and looking strait at that curtain as though they expected
 the tony pastor to appear and open the
 meeting. All at once the people began to rap on the floor with canes and umbrellas and then brass band popped up below that curtain, and if you'll believe it they played just such tune in that meeting as you hear at cattle shows and hoss trots. When they got l through, up went that curtain and a man in full-dress suit, like stylish preacher, came out and did some wonderful feats of jugglery and balanc- ing. He looked like tony pastor but it wasn't he, for we were told that Tony Pastor was out of the city. Then followed various exercises. such as
 singing, jig and double clog dancing, playing on banjos and mandolin, impersonations of noted people, and persons in the room, by instantaneous changes of wigs and hats, exhibition of
 mental telegraphing or mind reading,
 acrobatic feats and other exercises too numerous to mention. One acrobat actually walked on his ear across the
 room. By this time we began to think
 it was novel kind of Thursday evening
 meeting, although the exercises were
 very interesting, but the lateness of the hour indicated that the Tony Pastor
 would not make his appearance, so we

New Locomotives and Passenger
 CnachQS.

The freighting business by the Wilson Point route has become so great that ad ditional motive power is required to haul 1t over the Housatonic system. Besides the new engines bought last year five more were added last spring to the equipment of the road, but even this additional motive power is insufi- cient to cope with the increasing busi- ness of the system.
 Vice-President Stevenson with fore sight for the coming business, has ordered ten more new engines from the Roger Locomotive company, to be de- livered to the road as rapidly as they can be completed. Six are to be passen- ger engines with four driving wheels each for fast express trains. Four are to be moguls with six drivers, for hauling freight trains. All are to be first-class locomotives equipped with all the latest improvements. MT Stevenson is anxious to accomodate the travelling public and in order that trains on the Housatonic system shall afford the best possible comfort to the patrons of the road he has ordered thirty new passenger coaches from the Wasson Gar company. Six of them are parlor cars with lux ous appointments .-B'port Standard

WANT TO GET IN THE DISTRICT.
Alexandrians Petition Congress 10
be Annexed to Washington.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Mr Ed
munds, says the Washington cores
pondent of the Richmond Dispatch,
presented in the Senate yesterday a
petition signed by 402 citizens of the
county of Alexandria, in Virginia,
which shows that the signers are
anxious to come back into the Dis
trict of Columbia just as they were
before that part OF Virginia was re-
troceded to the State of Virginia.
Many of the most prominent bust
ness men of the city of Alexandria
are signers, the first name on the petit
ton being Joseph Broders, promi
nent businessman. Then there is the
name of Henry Strauss, who has so
often had aspirations to become may
or Of the good and ancient town on
the other side of the Potomac, and
who having failed to make the con-
nection, has some original opinions Of
what politics is. Mr.. Strauss is one
of the leading business men, having
been in Alexandria for great many
years. There are many other well
known names on the petition, but
the grass will grow over their graves
in all probability before Alexandria
county is again made a part OF the
District of Columbia.
