FINANCIAL.
New York

New YORK. Oct. S.-The stock market to-
day exhibited little life in any OF its parts
and once more dizziness became one of the
ruling features of the dealings though after
considerable strength in the forenoon the
hammering operations of the traders and
bears were sufficient to cause the entire loss
OF the Improvement. The foreign purchases
were the principal cause of strong and
higher opening here the advances over last
night figures extending to 7s per cent, Do
meStlc operators, however, made very
feeble response to this movement and in fact
the disposition to buy at present has been re-
duced TO q minimum.
The early improvement was supplemented
by further fractional gains in some stocks
during the forenoon, but not until the lead
ing shares had been again depressed to about
1ast nights level by the persistent pressure
from bear sources. These hammering oper-
atoms were abated after noon for time, and
the market showed an approach to midsum-
mer dullness, but prices relieved of the de-
pressing influence made some advance, the
low priced EanderbiIts. Atchison BurIing-
ton, Rock Island, Chicago Gas and some spe-
cialties made considerable improvement.
Prices, however, never got far from those
OF the opening, and in the last hour another
sharp attack was made upon the Atkinson
securities aud the stock reacted nearly per
cent on large transactions wiDing out all the
former gain, and something in addition. The
general list responded feeD1y TO this attack,
Rock Island and Missouri Pacific showing
market finally closed quiet and rather heavy
generally at Insignificant changes from the
opening figures as well as from last nights
prices. The final changes are irregular, and
in all cases from small fractions.
The Post says: The retention of it's 3
per cent. rate by the Bank of England is i'm
portant chiefly as an indication of the senti-
ment of London on the money market. The
banks bullion supply has shrunk e3,000,0 600,
or IA per cent within the past month, but no
change is made in the official rate. For this
the reason is two-fold. London is, in the
first place. well enough able to endure
without strain the loss not only of this
amount of specie, but of two or three times
as much. In the second place the bank had
already anticipated the advance in open
market money rates. The bank rate stood
long at PIE per cent, when the open market
rate was less than 1l2 1t is now on a parity
with the street quotation and to advance it
now would be fruitless, for it could be done
only IN Difference to a stringency which, if
1t really existed, would certainly have ex-
pressed itself in the open market rate

D. S. Jordan, in the October Forum,
says: ia these days, the farmer has

no master, dread ng no tyrant. With
poorer tools than are now used, poorer
buildings, inferior facilities for transpor-

FARM AND HOME.
CToBER.
sELEcrEp.

In these sttll days earth takes moment rest;
The pare, brown fields lie placid in the sun;
They are content, knowing their labor done.
There is no pleasant green place; every nest
Is empty now: the branches are all hare,
And the sweet singing blrdS no longer there.
The crisp, brown leaves lie deep; we go in quest
OF ripe, full nuts that drop down lazily
Into our laps from many loaded tree.
And after all sweet hours we think the best,
And are glad for fair October days,
When earth is seen through gold and purple
haze.
For other bounty we have been the guest
Through the pale spring, through summers
golden prime,
Through all the rich, hot DAYS of sutumn-time.
We've went and laughed with her, been sad and
hlest
We've tried our love in every changeful mood,
And now with earth We rest awhile and brood.
For this years sun SINKS grandy in the west,
knowing how sweet aud gracious are its ways,
How beautiful and fair Its many days.
An' sitting hand in hand, our love confessed,
We calmly rest IN stlll OCtObers calm,
Hearing in our own hearts a low, glad psalm,
And knowing we have garnered all the best,
The sweetest hours of love, and that our store
Is now so rich that life can ash no more,

Neatness In Girls.
Exchange,

Neatness is a good thing for a girl, and
if she does not learn it when she is young,
she never will. 1t takes great deal
more neatness to make girl look well
than it does to make a boy look passable.
Not because boy, to start with, is better
looking than girl, but the clothes are Of
different sort, not so many colors in
them, and people don't expect boy to
look so pretty as girl. A girl that is
not neatly dressed is called a sloven, and
no one likes to look at her Her face
may be pretty and her eyes bright but il
there is a spot of dirt on her cheek, aud
her fingers ends are black with ink, aud
her shoes are not laced or buttoned up,
and her apron is dirty, and her collar Is
not buttened, and her skirt is torn, she
cannot be liked Learn to be neat, and
when you have learned it, it will almost
take care OF its self
