1t became known that the acceptance of
bonds of yesterday would aggregate 81, 800. 900
and the feeling on the monetary situation was
easier this morning, and while there was little
attention paid to the threatened strike, the
chances that there would be one were believed
TO be small. Little demand for stocks appeared
and opening prices were quite irregular, the
changes extending TO u per cent. either way.
The general expectation was that the bank
statement, as il would not reflect the purchases
OF bonds for the past two days, would show a
loss in the reserve, and local operators were n-
chned to thank the short side again for a turn
with the result that prices were dropping
throughout the greater part OF the session
There was no special weakness except in Sugar
Refneres. c., c, c. and 81. Louis. and Chicago

ana before the close Of the first hour sub
stantiai rally occurred. Extreme dullness then
intervened, and little change took place until
after the issue Of the bank statement, which re-
hected a felt Of 81, 500 900 in reserve aud the
dropping tendency was resu ned. The close
was, therefore, duh and heavy at fractional
losses In the day, In most cases, though, In
these there vera some advances, and Sugar Re
nneres were down I per cent. The business
done reached only 81, 1913 shares Of listed and
1893 shares of unlisted. The following were

ON TO PRESCOTT.
CONSTRUCTION BEGUN ON THE CAS-
 TILE CREEK ROAD.
Between Ph@nix and Prescott to Ninety Miles.

The Phoenix and Prescott toll road is an established project and will be built at once.
 A meeting of the Board of Directors was held yesterday, and, upon an in- spection of the financial affairs of the company, it was ordered that Superin- tendent A. T. Marsh start at once for the line of the road and commence its construction without delay.
 Engineer F. F. Trott will be on hand and will lay off the route in advance of the working force.
 Operations will commence at Cow Creek, forty-seven miles from Phoenix, where the line first strikes into the rough hills of the lower Bradshaws. A large force of laborers will be utilized, and it is safe to say that during the month of October direct communication will be opened with Prescott, over an excellent road, placing the two cities within a dis tance of ninety-siX miles.
 That this will be the main channel for traffic is not to be doubted. Of the other two routes, that by way of the Black Canon has ever been terror to travellers. The Arastra Creek hill can only be crossed by light teams, and the distance to Prescott is fully no miles, The other route, by way of Wickenburg and Date Creek, is the one always taken by teamsters. There are no very heavy grades upon it, an eight-mile pull through the wash of the Hassayampa be- ing the main difficulty of the trip. But it's length is excessive, being nearly 150 miles. Another disadvantage to be mentioned is that, for sixty miles of the way water is very scarce.
 One of the Prescott stages will no doubt be run over the new road by the first of the new year. Stations will be established at Oak Flat and at point about midway from there to Frog Tanks.
 That the construction of the road will benefit Phoenix has been amply shown, and that it will be properly constructed and maintained is assured by the per sonnel of the board of directors, ma jorty of which is composed of prom inent business men of Phoenix.

LOCAL BREVITIES.

Registration is proceeding very slowly.
 short shower of rain fell in Phoenix last night.
 The electric light went off in furry during last nights rain storm.
 The five lodges of Good Templars, of Maricopa county, will meet in district session in Phoenix tomorrow at 10 a. m.
 The Black Canon stage to Prescott now makes the trip in less than twenty four hours, a celerity which is appre- ciated by the travelling public.
 At the Washington Street Methodist Church today there will be Sunday school at 9:3O a.m., class meeting at II a.m., and praise service at : 80 pm.
 J. $. Cant will soon commence the erection of brick livery stable, 40Xll0 feet in size, upon the lot in the rear of the Lemon hotel. The cost will ap- proach $500.
 It is fact to be noted that Tempe has had much more rain this summer than has been granted to Phoenix, while south of Tempe near Kyrene, there have really been floods.
 Architect A. k. Leonard is back from Mesa City, where he is experimenting the erection of the new school house at that place. The stone work upon the foundation is complete.
 Yesterdays train brought in the de- layed eastern mail of the day before. Washouts are reported along the South ern Pacific track from Casa Grande to Lordsburg, but none of any magnitude.
 First Baptist Church, F. D. Rickinson pastor: Sunday-schoOl, 9:45 am. i; preaching at II a.m., first of a series of sermons on Christian Life and Growth" All are welcome. No even- ing service.
 Charles Goldman and Oscar L. Gibbs, administrators of the estate of George Marlow, deceased, have replevined from Arthur Marlow thirty-three head of cat tie, twenty-eight horses and fifty hogs, claimed as belonging to the estate.
 It is expected that the camp meeting will close this evening, as the ministers are due in Santa Ana to attend the con ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, to be held at that place early in the week.
 Lewis thresher finished it's seasons work at Deputy's ranch, near the Ari- zona canal falls, yesterday about noon. The traction engine was pointed toward Ph9nix, and by evening the outfit had steamed through town and had been laid up in winter quarters. The traction feature has amply demonstrated it's use fulness during this summers work, and it is probable that no threshers will ever again be brought into this valley with out self-propelling engine.
 Dexterous sneak-thieves are operating in this city. Yesterday while the owners of the Mesa fruit depot were working in the rear of their store, they saw man come behind the counter and then run out. An investigation showed that the money in the change drawer, about $4.50, had been appropriated. No clue can be found as to the identity of the thief Hardy's cigar store was entered q few days ago and $35 stolen, but the episode has been kept quiet. The bowling alley saloon also had it's till tapped for a small sum.
