Conndonco in Financial Circles.


The growth Of confidence in financial
circles since the recent furry has been
Quiet but steady. This is evident from
The improvement in the prices of different
kinds of stocks. The buying of stocks is
not heavy, but il is constant, and all the
indications are for higher prices. The
. opinion is expressed in the financial arti-
clos of the leading papers at the financial
/ centers that the scare is over, and that
/ there is not likely TO be another in the
/ near future. There is d noticeable dispo-
sition TO buy for investment, and good
deal of buying is being done for that pur-
/ pose.
The banks that failed during the scare
were weak concerns. They were known
to be weak, and it was expected that they
would succmnb to 4 very light pressure
Now that they are out of the way there is
much less apprehension of bank disas-
tiers.
There is likely TO be good many fail
ures of business firms in different parts of
the country, because there is still much
stringency in the money market.
Banks are willing to let their regular Gus
toners have money on time at a reason
able interest, provided they have good
collateral, but to others they are making
only call loans. II is apparent, therefore,
that weak business firms are likely to
have considerable trouble for some time
to come to meet their obligations
promptly
There is no doubt that the recent furry

dustrial stocks. They are mostly stocks
of trusts which are speculative,
and have been doomed" much beyond
their true value. There had been sus-
piciOns of some of them for quite a long
time, aud when they were attacked they
were found to be, as expected, very weak
They yielded readily to attack, and the
slender foundation upon which they rested
became quickly apparent. Those of them
that have been forced into liquidation will
have to be reorganized. The reorganiza-
ton will be upon much more solid basis.
In New York and other financial cen
ters there is a much more hopeful feeling
now than there has been for weeks and
the belief is freely expressed that the
summer will pass without another crash.
The silver purchase act is, of course, as
menacing as ever. Among fnanclers the
hope is expressed that congress will re-
peal it. 1t is thought that by September,
when it is expected there will be an extra
session Of congress, public sentiment will
be so strong against it that its repeal can
be effected. There may have to be a
compromise of some sort. If there is it
will be of a character, in all probability,
that will put a stop to the enormous pur-
chases of silver the treasury is now com

Wherein We Are Ahead of England.

From the New York Times IDem0.
The insults offered to Mr.. Gladstone at the
re ception of the Prince of Wales at the new
Imperial Institute show even more clearly
than the course of the debates in the House
of Commons to what hight party spirit is
now running in England. For so atrocious
an outrage as the kissing and hooting of such
a man by a select and exclusive assemblage
il requires not only high development of
snobbery, but a survival of saVagery. We
may be glad that our annals have not been
dlshgured by such an event. When Hayes
was counted in in 1877. and again when Blaine
was beaten in 1884, party spirit was very high
and very bitter, but il was never shown in
public insult to the successful competitor.
In fact, it is safe to say that the insult to Mr..
Gladstone not only has not been. but could
not be, paralIeled in the United States.

possible that Georgia has no reformatory
for childrenl" asks that paper "To put
them with chain-gang is to teach them
the trade Of the convict by association
with the worse class of misdemeanants.
Georgia should send a delegation to visit
our Elmira reformatory." IL would be a
great thing for Georgia if the suggestion
should be acted upon. There is nothing
that Georgia needs more than reforma-
tory. Another need along the same line
is the abrogation of the convict lease
system.

COGHLAN'S DAUGHTER.
The Actor Says She Was an Adopted,
and Not an Legitimate Child.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct g. - Charles
Coghlan says that the young actress who
bears his name, and who has lived with
him, is not his real but his adopted daugh-
ter, and that she is not of illegitimate
birth. Because of the publication in New
York papers that she was his child he has
made full statement of her history, anx-
iouS that stain should rest upon her.
Her real name is Gertrude Evelyn Nor
folk, and her parents, who married,
still living. Her grandfather is n Mr..
Norfolk, well known In British financial
circles as the president of the London and
County Banking Company. AS evid ence OF
these assertions Mr.. Coghlan is ready TO
show those whom ii may concern the GER
tificate of baptism of the young lady i'm
question, although, in speaking of the mat
ter last night, he would not identify the
girls parents further than by saying that
they are Mr.. and Mrs. Norfolk. Coghlan
said that when Gertrude Evelyn Norfolk
two years old the mother, who was
popularity supposed, in New York, at least,
to be Mrs. Coghlan, and who was even
then living with Mr.. Coghlan, persuaded
him to take little Gertrude Evelyn and
adopt her as their own. The consent Of her
parents was obtained, and, although no
legal formalities accompanied the transac-
ton. the Norfoks promised that thence
forward they would resign all claims to
the custody of the child. She then became
Gertrude Coghlan, and grew up under the
tutelage of her adopted parents
