THE great victory at the Centennial
Exhibition, Philadelphia, 1876, of the
celebrated Kranich & Bach piano was
evidenced by the award in the form of
the highest medal of honor and diploma
of merit received by them. A facsimile
of tho medal appears in their catalogue.
This places this piano at the head, be-
yond question, as the judges we're the

Street Grading Wanted

Citizens and property owners residing
on High street between Commerce and
Norman road, are very much out of
sorts because they cannot get the Coun-
Gil to order that portion OF the street
graded and opened up. AS it is, it is al
most impossible to reach that locality
with vehicle. Residents there have
no water, and the Gas Company will not
lay any pipes until tho street - graded.

some reason known only TO himself.

To Celebrate Emnncipation Dav.

The colored citizens of Roanoke and
adjacent towns will probably arrange
for monster emancipation celebration
nextJanuary. A representative of THE
TIMEs saw John II. Davis, chairman of
the committee in charge OF the arrange
ments, yesterday, and he said that no
definite action had been taken so far
but in few days some conclusion
would be reached. Several other prom
inent colored men were seen and as
they expressed themselves in favor of
celebration it will no doubt be arranged
for on grand scale.
1t is probable that Prof. Price, North
Cardinals eminent colored orator, will
be invited to deliver the address at the
celebration, as a majority of the colored
men the THE TIMES reporter talked to
favor him.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-THE stock market was
more active than on any other day of this
year, and at the same time again demon
strated its inherent strength by the utter rout
OF the forces engaged in the attempt to bring
about reaction in prices. The movement
was the more significant as the final defeat OF
the bears was brought about by heavy buying
orders placed in the market at the right time,
which are believed to be for the larger inter
ests affected by the prices of securities, sand
to that extent they infused more confidence
into the smaller operators on the bull.
side. The bullish feeling was very
close it was rampant and those
who talk lower prices are tonight in large
majority. The foreigners were moderate
buyers in the early trading, responding 10
higher figures from the other side, and there
was an urgent demand for at long account
from domestic operators. The dealings in
Reading were run up to an extremely large
figure. being second only to Atchison, which
still retained its lead in that respect. North

had the effect of accelerating the upward
