Interesting Statistics of the War.

Some interesting statistics are gathered from
the Fox history. Out of 2,O0OO 900 soldiers three
fourths were Americans. OF the 100000 of
foreign birth, Germany furnished 175000, Ire
land, 10000; England, $4,000: British America.
$4,000, and other countries, 1900. The average
height Of the American soldiers was 5 feet SI5
inches. The men from Maine Indiana, Iowa,
Missouri and Kentucky were slightly above
this Il ure. West Virginias soldiers averaged
feet inches The average would have been
greater had boys from II to 20 years not been
Included. Out of 100000 recorded heights
there were S6lS men over feet inches tall
and among them were some over feet. Regi-
mentS and brlgades could have been formed
that would have surpassed the famous giant
guards of Frederick the Great The average
weight of the soldiers was l4313 pounds. The
tallest man in the service was Captain Van
BuskirE. of the Seyenty-sevenlh Indiana, for
whose stature the testimony is complete that

A DAYS RIVER DRIFT,

Small Rise Caused by Rains up the Ale
gheny-The Packet and Coal Business
Brisk Yesterday-A Dense Fog DELAYS
the Early Morning Boats.
The rivers have begun to rise again, this time
caused by the surplus water of the Allegheny
and backing up that of the Monongahela. At
o'clock yesterday the Market street gauge
registered depth of feet inches and still
slowly rising. II is not thought that the rise
will be so great as to interfere with the river
Business was very brisk yesterday in the coal
trade as well as in the packet lines, The
weather is splendid for river traffic and all the
river men were on the hustle yesterday, keep
ing the boats on the 60 with more than usual
briskness

CHICAGO-Wbeat-Only q fair business was
transacted to-day, operators were generally
disappointed at the change in the market. The
feeling was decidedly weaker, and, while yes
terday there was a general disposition to buy,
the reverse was the fact to-day. Outside busi-
ness was only moderate. The opening was
about the same as the closing yesterday, and
under free offerings, there being good many
selling orders on the market from the start,
prices quickly declined and then the market
held steady for while, prices recovering 40
sse but again took the downward course and
this time declined &c, then followed numerous
small fluctuations, and the closing was about
Tc lower than yesterday. The weakness was
partially due to the weaker tone Of cable ad-
vices.
Corn was fairly active and a little unsettled,
the market huctuating frequently within
I@1c range. but the close showed no gain, the
market closing about same as Yesterday Mar

were at LGLc advance, after which the mar
ket sold up another &c, reacted suddenly Tc.

and disposed to sell freely on any display Of
weakness Arally of ssc followed, and market
closed as stated above.
Oats-The market was controlled entirely by
local influences. Opening sales were at A9sso
advance. Free realizing produced weak
feeling and prices receded nc, but rallied on
buying by prominent operator, receded
slightly and closed a shade below yesterdays
last sales.
Mess Pork-A fair trade was reported. Early,
prices ruled 5@715c higher, later, settled back
to inside figures. Towards the close advanced

changes in prices were slight

WALL STREET GOSSIP.

The Share Market Hating Between Two
Fires-Money Rather Close.
Wall street is as unsettled as the sea, and the
future course of the stock market about as un-
certain. John M. Oakley & Co.'s correspondent
brings this point out quite prominently He
says:
The stock market to-day has been less active
than yesterday, and by turns it has been strong,
weak and again strong. The bank statement
was awaited with much interest. 1t showed
a loss of S3.500.00O. which brings the reserves
about $500, 600 below the legal limit. The theory
of the bulls is that the return flow of money
will soon set in, and that this will replenish the
deficit and put the banks in good condition by

Celebrated With Great Eclat by His Eel
low Artists of the Stage.
CHICAGO, October 18.-Yesterday was
John L. Sullivan's birthday-the 32d, so be
said-and he invited all his conferees of the
theatrical profession to attend a special
matinee at Haymarket. Actors and
actresses like nothing better than matinee,
and they needed no pressing to flock to the
Haymarket. Miss Rosina Vokes was in q
box; the well-known playwright, Len
Grover, was in attend ance, and it would be
long list OF names to mention the people
from Lawrence Barrett's company and other
organizations that were present. The show
folks were warmly demoustrative, calling
the new-fedged histrion repeatedly before
the curtain. He had to make speech.
"Ladies and gentlemen: Thank you very
much. Hope ID the future-as in the past
respectfully yours, John L. Sullivan"
The criticisms OF the actors on the new ac-
cession to their ranks were really fatteriug.

clearings for the week were 10000 barrels,
against % 600 the previous week.
Conditions were bullish all through, which
accounts for the strong tone Of the market, but
this did not bring grist to the mill. Refined

and production increased, consumption made
large drafts upon stocks. These Influences

Several things have conspired recently to
bring Homestead into prominence. Perhaps
the most important of these is the projected
railroad to Pittsburg, which will materially
shorten the distance between the two points.

expects to profit largely by this enterprise.
Indeed, it has already had the effect of promot-
ing activity in real estate. several important
deals having been effected within the past few
weeks. Building is also looking up.
The situation is admirable for manufactur-
ing and commercial purposes. commanding

May Elevate Values.

Juding from the talk of the street it is
quite likely that the Kuhn property, to be
brought under the hammer on the 25th inst.
will go at a price that will raise the standard
of value on that part of Diamond street. The
last sale in the locality. about year ago, was
at the rate of 81 800 front foot
The Kuhn property is in two packages-ooth
original. The drift of opinion is that the lot
on the north side of the street, with an old
building will bring at least ST. 500 foot and the
other, on the south side of the street, as much
or more with the additional value of the i'm
prOyement added.
