New YORK. Sept 29.-There is little in
the market to warrant any extended upward
movement other than the manipulation of
the cliques and with the near approach of
the election there seems to be less and less
disposition OH the part of outside operators
to take any venture on either side of the mar
ket. Only four stocks showed any ANNA
ton at the opening, which. however. was
made generally at slightly higher figures
than those of last evening, and only one of
them, Reading, continued active.
RealiZations and short sales in the early
dealings sufficed to put the entire list on
lower plane, but some supporting orders
and little new buying sutiiced to put the
short sellers to flight, and the losses were
quickly recovered, with something in addi-
ton. The buying was most prominent in
Reading, New England and Distillers, while
the evidence that the movement in Colorado
Coal has eliminated appeared early in the
day, and realization later forced the stock off
dragged the rest of the list with them. and
prices were maintained above the level of
the opening figures throughout the day.
even though realization in the last hour
caused some concession. The market finally
closed quiet but still firm at insignificant
changes from last nights figures for most
stocks, Colorado Coal being the only promi-
nent exception, with a loss of 1ss per cent

possible that production should continue its

is CARNEGIE COMING {?
One Report Says He Is on His Way
to Settle the Homestead
Trouble.
Frick Denies 1t, and Says Every
thing Is Running Smoothly
at the Mill.

PITTsBURG, Sept ga we'll found
ed rumor was in circulation in Home
stead today that the big plant of the
Carnegie Steel company will shut down
in all departments this week. The
twenty-three-inch armor plate mill was
indefinitely closed down today and the
men paid off. 1t is reported this even
ing that Andrew Carnegie has written
to several prominent men in Plttsburg
expressing desire that the Homestead
strike be settled as soon as possible. 1t
is also heard from good authority that
Mr.. Carnegie is on his way to this coun-
try, and that even now he may be in
New York city. This news seems to be
reliable, his coming having for its sole
object the settling Of the difficulty with
his workmen. Mr.. Frick was seen today,
but positively refused to be intervie wed.
or permit the reporter to ask any QueS-
tiOnS.
The statement caused considerable
talk in labor circles here. The Home
stead works are under the personal
management of II. G. Frck. Mr.. Prick
Said
We'll, if Mr.. Carnegie is coming home
l have not heard of it, and if he were
coming | think [ would know something
about it. You can say that there is not
particle of truth in the story. We are
satisfied with the way our works are
being run and also with the men, and |
don't see why we should make any
effort to effect settlement looking
towards again changing our old men.
You can also say there is no truth in the
story that our 23-inch mill has been
closed and the men paid off, and that
we intend to Indefinitely suspend our
operations at our Homestead plant.
Everything is going along very
smoothly, and we are satisfied with the
situation
The advisory committee issued aman-
ifeSto today as follows: 1.-The opening
of the fourth month of our fight finds US
more sanguine than on the 10Th of Au-
gust. We are yet amply supplied with
money and, what is more important at
this time, with enthusiasm. Very many
assertions of skilled men have been
brought about by energetic proselyiting
on part of the rank and file who watch
for weeks for an opportunity to confer
with the workers, and when once
brought face to face with them are sue
cessfuly in their arguments. There
has not been single deSertion from the
ranks of the Amalgamated association.
Your board feels justified at the incep-
ton of another month in the wage
struggle of extending congratulations
to the lOcked-Out men and strikers, eX-
pressing confidence in ultimate vic
tory"

The sales of wheat were ample, and they
pushed the market towards lower price
the offers being larger than the wants OF buy
ers at old figures. After the early sellers
had disposed of their holdings, the markets
were steadier. The weather is good for
threshing, and supplies are large in the gen
eral markets, as dealers keep the grain going
toward public storage. Wheat cables noted
easy markets this morning, and they had the
ordinary effect.

ABOUT OBELISKS.
How the Huge Stones We're Hand.
led by the Egyptians.

Rev. j. Kings cleopatra Needle
The ObeliSkS of the Pharaohs ara

the quarries at Syene may yet be seen
an unfinished obelisk still adhering to
the native rock, with traces of the work.
mems tools so clearly seen on its sur
face that one might suppose they had
been suddenly called away and lntend~
ed soon to return and finish their work.
This unfinished ObeliSk shows the
mode in which the ancients separated
these immense monoiiths from the
native rock. In sharply cut groovel
marking the boundary of the stone are
holes evidently designed for woodenj
wedges. After these had been firmly
driven into the holes, the groove was
filled with water. The wedges. gradu-
ally absorbing the water, swelled and
cracked the granite throughout the,
length of the groove. The block, once
detached from the rock, was pushed
forward upon rollers made of the stems
edge of the Nile, where it was sur
rounded by large timber raft.
1t lay by the river side until the next
intimidation of the Nile, when the ris-.
ing waters fioated the raft, and CON-
veyed the obelisk down the stream to
the city where it was to be set up.
Thousands of willing hands pushed it
On rollers up an inclined plane to the
front of the temple where 1t was de-
signed to stand. The pedestal had pre-
viously been placed in position. and a
firm causeway of sand covered with
planks led to the top of it. Then by
means of rollers, levers and ropes made
of the date-palm, the obelisk was grad
ually, hoisted into an upright position.
1t speaks much for the mechanical ac-
curacy of the Egyptian masoDs that, so
true was the level of the top of the base
and the bottom of the long shaft, i'll no
single instance has the Obelisk been
found to be out of the true perpendicu-

New Lines Being Built All Over

CHICAGO, Sept 29.-RaiIway construc-
ton has proceeded at safe and moder-
ate pace this year, and yet in almost
every state and territory new lines have
been completed or commenced. The
Railroad Age and Northwestern Rail-
roader i'll its forthcoming issue will say:
Our returns show that during the nine
months from Jan. to Sept. 80 there
have been 2,519 miles of main track laid
on 200 different lines in the United
States, while large amount of grading
has been done, on which the rails are
yet TO go down. There are in sight over
1,500 miles of road on which track is ex-
pected to be laid before the end of the
year, SO that we feel safe in repeating
the estimate made three months ago
that the track laying of 1892 will aggre-
gate not far from four thousand miles"

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.-The Rus
sian steamer Kotick arrived from Petro-
paulovsky today with $4,000 sealskins
for the Russian American Sealskin
company. Among her passengers was
N. A. Grebintzky, the governor of
Copper, Boring and Robin islands. He
is on his way to st. Petersburg, to re-
port on depredations of British sealers.
Said Gov. GrebintZky: This year
about 10000 seals were taken and next
year, if 10000 are caught, it will mean
almost death to the industry. Six En-
glish schooners and one American were
seized, and Of the skins on board 81 per
cent were females. The Russian gum
boats Jakut and Zobiaka were cruising
around all the time, but nevertheless a
number of poachers escaped them and
made good their catcheS.''

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-James l.. Bah
cock. of Ann Arbor. Mich, was mar
ried last night in Waukesha, Wis. to
Miss Ella Stanley Butler. of the latter
place. The bridegroom, who was form
erly a clerk in this city, was made
famous by the provisions of the will of
his uncle, Luther James, who died in
1889, leaving Babcock several million
dollars worth of property which
MIR. James decreed Babcock never could
possess unless he married within five
years succeeding the uncle's death.
This condition not only made Mr.. Bah
cock famous, but decidedly popular
with manageable maidens all over the
country, who, recognizing the harsh
provisions of the uncle's will, were anx
lous to offer themselves ON the altar of
his future happiness. But Mr.. Bah
COCK continued in a quiet, progressive
way, which finally led to the denou-
ment of last night.
