NEW YORK. Oct. 23.-The stock market to-
day gave no indication that there was any
more than the usual professional operations
going en-, but the tone was firm to strong.
and while the general market was dull and
featureless, a few of the leading stocks and
few specialties were remarkably strong, and
they saved the market from stasnation. The
foreigners were buyers and sellers by turns.
and as the local operators are now disUosed
to follow the lead of the foreigners who are
not able to lead any material speculative
movements i'll the market except in those
shares which are affected by special causes,
are insignificant, and dizziness marked the
dealings.
The principal contests between the fac
tons to-dav were III ST. Paul. and the bulls
had rather the best of it. especially during
the forenoon, when the stock was forced up
nearly 1 per cent, the advance being well
held through the day despite vigorous efforts
to cause reaction. Reading was also one
OF the most prominent stocks in the fore
noon, and the buying was largely for Phila-
delphia account Another stock which made
a sudden and marked advance was Rich
moud x West Point. The Vanderbilts to-
day, with the exception or Michigan Central,
seemed to have lost all their late strength,
and New York Central sold down to 1898
against 115 at the highest point of the late
rise, and the others were inclined to drop.
Among the inactive shares, Louisville, New
Albany d Chicago lost q large fraction, but
Manatoba was specially strong, rising from
lected. and no other feature of importance
marked the trading The opening was firm.
and the market continued 10 show strength
throughout the day, although the best prices
were generally reached in the latter portion
of the first hour. After that the fluctuations
in the general list were insignificant, and no
decided tendency of prices i'll other direc-
tons was to be noted. The market finally
closed dull, but at fractional gains for the
day i'll almost everything, Reading with Is
per cent showing the largest advance among
the active shares.
The Post says: To days pool buying under
the leadership of prominent operators is I'M
doubleday sign of promise because it is
long since the market had active and resolute
professional bull leaders i'll any stocks.
Even in the september bull market it will be
remembered, the professional market leaders
cut a very insignificant figure. That the
operations of these pools should be confined
just now to the Granger stocks is. Of course,
perfectly natural. With success they would
doubtless extend. the question being whether
they are in the market for "long pull or
only for the profits of few days. The be-
lief that gross earnings in the Northwest
must henceforth make a brilliant showing
especially when the movement of new corn
fairly begins-is factor in all calculations.
Very possibly those returns might stimulate
the outside spectator to activity especially if
the pool leaders should see tit TO continue
and for the genuine and prolonged bull
declaration of policy in the matter of rail-
road dividends.

STORM WINDS.

The gale is sweeping and signing
Through deeps where the wood is bare,
And brown dead MOSES are lying
Where the springtime flowers were fair;
And the desolate meadows and weary,
Whence the sunlight long has fled,
Are loud with the dirges dreary
That mourn for the grasses dead
And there by the sad sea beaches
The white waves fretfully surge,
And up from the wrecked filled reaches
They force the sand and the spurge;
And wide through the sound filled cleaning
Flies the salt and bitter spray,
As the wild storm wind goes roaming
Through the snow mist wan and gray.
The ships bend down to the rushing
OF gusts that are keen and cold,
The foam capped rollers are gushing
Through the chain plates, downward rolled;
The bell-buoys clamOr and jangle
As the short waves fret and toss;
And garrulous seagulls wrangle
AS they wing the bar across.
Far north, like somber curtain,
The bllowing cloud-wracll's mass,
And shadows vague and uncertain,
Before them titfully pass
The shadows Of forests heaving
In throes of the mighty blast
Whose grotesque branches are weaving
The giants that change so fast.
And so through the hours that lengthen,
The wind in it's might grows loud,
And its hoarse notes roll and strengthen
AS down from the hills they crowd;
And on, while the night grows deeper,
Thy rise till their echoes seem
The turmoil Il weary sleeper
Hears in a chaotic dream.
When the winds from slumbcr wake
The ocean obeys their might,
The forest are rent and shaken,
Their is no silence in night;
And ever their restless sweeping
Shows like the swath OF sword,
Yet one hand holds them III keeping
The strong, sure hand of the Lord.
Thomas S. Collier, in Springfield (Mass.) Re
publican.

PENALTIES OF POPULARITY.

Hardships of Those Who Attain Promi-
nsnce in Public Life.
1.-THE labor we delight in physics
pain" but the man of the people" who
really takes pleasure in the hard work
of receiving and reciprocating the ora
tions made at him and letters written
to him by his friends and admirers,
must be gifted with an immense amount
of energy supplemented by a porpor-
tionate share of love of appreciation and
self-esteem, To be besicged by COM
mittees, serenaded by brass bands,
epistolized at the rate of half bushel
of letters per day, and haunted by re-
portorial geniuses, can not, one would
think, be particularly amusing.
Yet these are only small part of the
penalties of celebrity in this free-and-
easy land. The popular man can not
even call his right hand his own.
Everybody has, or claims to have, o
right to shake it. When Lafayette was
in this country, the fexors and ex-
tensors of his deXtor arm became so
sore with incessant exercise that he
was compelled to wear the limb in a
sling, and substitute his left for public
purposes until the Inflammation had
subsidized. Mr.. Clay often complained
of the fatigue he underwent while being
subjected to the pump-handle process;
and even Old Hickory's tough biceps
sometimes succumbed to the vigor Of
the democratic bone and sinew
In short, it requires frame of iron
and mind as elastic as spiral spring
to sustain the pressure of popularity in
this enthusiastic republic. Our distin-
tinguished men have no privacy. They
are, in fact, the peoples slaves, which
is rather hard in free country. Does
the honor compensate 2or the annoy
ance? Is the game worth the candle?
1t may be to some folk-indeed it is, or
they would not seek the bubble repu-
tation" regardless of the wear and tear
of mind and body which it involves;
but, looking at the matter philosophical
ly, it seems to us that comfortable OBJ
security is preferable to continuous glori-
tication. Y. Ledger.
