If you were Mrs. William Astor, would
you let frocks bought for you, and pre-
suIuabiy fitted on you, be sold at public AUG

made them yours! One becomes the prop

Third avenue, labeled, of course, as
Mrs Astor's gown! VIII You kindly tell
me if all idea of geutleness, Of po-
likeness, and of respect for woman has gone
out of New York; l know it exists in other
places. But | should think either husband
or son would have got hold of those
dresses, even if they put them at the bot
tom of the sea, rather than have such
crowds present to see them as there were
the day that the auctioneer so chilly de-
scribed their beauties, and dilated on the
fact that they ought to be worth more be-
cause they were made for Mrs. William
Astor. If some other woman had done
this the newspapers would have teemed
with her lack of delicacy, and no matter
what the government may have done in the
way of cheating, or what the dressmaker
NAV have done in adding on TO the price
having danced ever so little, she would have
beel. willing to have paid the piper.
When this KIND OF tnlng happens II always

imagined If his wife'S frocks had been sold

Governments, Stocks and Eonds.

New YORK, Sept 19-The stock market
to-day was extremely active, although
showing a marked decrease on that point
from the heavy trading Of yesterday, and
while displaying considerable irregularity
was more decidedly strong, and the result
of the two hours session to-day is to leave
most of the list fractionally higher than last
evening and some are materially so.
The opening was strong and very active.
but later reaction set in. Realfzations
were the chief factor IN such declines as
were seen, but the demand for stocks was
still very urgent, and buyers outnumbered
sellers and the course of prices was soon
again turned in the direction of higher
figures.
In the upward movement Changers had
first place, but there were a few other lead
ing shares which commanded attention on
account of their strength. Traders again
went in to cover their shorts in final deal
ings, and the market developed marked
strength and finally closed active and
strong at the best prices OF the day.
Government bonds dull and steady to

State bonds neglected.
Railroad bonds less active than shares.

The Cuban Sugar Crop

The Havana weekly report reviews crop
prospects as follows:
1.-The fine weather that prevailed through
out the month of August has considerably
benefited the growing cane and the fields
generally present a splendid appearance;
on the northern side, in the localities most
severely chastised by the drouth, the rain
storm provoked by the hurricane which
blew two weeks ago over Martinique and
San Domingo, has powerfully contributed
TO the development of the cane. Were the
weather to continue as favorable as hereto
fore and no cyclone to visit US until the end
OF the year, it can hardly be doubted that
the next crop will considerably exceed the
one Just over. Planters continue complain
ing about the increased difficulties they
have to contend with in order to find suffi-

work on reasonable terms, whilst the gro
