New York. Sept. The idea that the ad-
vance In prices at the stock exchange during
the past ten days or so had been too rapid,
found many new believers today and in the
first hour Of business the market was weaker
in consequence of a shifting of position by
this class. The chronic bears, who have been
rather quiet of late. were not slow to discern
the change in sentiment as well as the with
drawal of certain operators with bulllSh pro
cliVities from active participation in the cur
rent market movements. The ease with
which General Electric yielded, playing
right into their hands, and the rumors of bonds
issued by the Chicago Gas Company subSe-
Quently confirmed, gave them the first chance
in over week of bringing about decline
in prices General Electric was by far the
weakest stock on the list on reports that the
directors had decided to suspend divi-
dends. This could not be confirmed
at the cOmpanys offices here, where 1t was
stated that these matters had not come up
for consideration as yet. Nevertheless the
stock was forced down from 475s to A. Chi
cagO Gas was pressed for sale and declined
from 637s to 500 on the rumors of a Sl0,O00.OO0
bond issue by one OF its subsidiary companies.
The heaViness of these specialties resulted in
"A decline OF Z to q per cent, IN the general
list Lake Shore securing the largest decline.
In the last hour of business the general mar
ket showed tendency TO rally, but General
Electric and Chicago Gas continued weak
to the close. Compared with yesterday final
figures the active issues show losses OF u to
81. per cent, except for Manhattan and New
England which made slight gains. Evans
Vile and Terre Haute recovered 3 per cent
closing at -. The market left of irregular
but In the main weak. Sales Of stocks were
236 600 shares, including 25O09 unlisted.

Prom The News and Courier
Tho News and Courier respectfully
calls the attention Of the people Of the
United States, and postmaster general in
particular. % man over in Georgia.
We DO not know hisname, but he is the
postmaster 40 Rome. in that state, and
appears % be something Of a genius in
postal matters, as the following brief
narrative viii show \ few days ago we
had occasion 70 write letter TO the we'll
known Georgian. Mr. Bill Arp. who. as
we thought. lived in Rome. and we mail
et the letter 70 him al that place. And
now for the sequel of the story. The
gentleman in question does not live in
Rome, but in Gainesville near by. Yet
we received an answer to the letter
within about three days The post
master al Rome, after reading the ad-
dress on the letter, and knowing that Mr..
Arp does not live in Rome but Carriers
vile, had evidently forwarded the letter
at once to Gainesville, instead of ad-
vertising il in the Rome papers for
month and then sending it to the dead let
ter office to be returned to us. 1t seems
an incredible story, but it is true, just
as we have told il; and being true it
shows as we have said, that nthe post
master AZ ROME is something of genius
in his business. The Postmaster-Cfen-
eral should keep an eye on him, and find
a place for him at the head of the letter
department of the postal service
1t is a pity to allow such
exceptionable talent and common
sense to 20 to waste in little Georgia

A Speculation on Death.

From the san Francisco Examiner.
When the typhoid fever epidemic was
at its hight, when cases were being re
ported daily and everybody expected that
there would be many deaths from the
disease, one flower firm decided 10 make
a speculation on death. 1t was figured
out that there would be an unusual num-
Der Of deaths, and that this would cause
a demand for an unusual number Of floral
pieces In the mIuufact OF floral
pieces moss is an absolute necessity, and
the peculiar kind that is used comes from
Oregon aud Washington. The firm in
question thought to make a speculation
by ordering quantity of this moss early
and running a corner in it, The moss has
arrived and has been placed in storage
But out Of all the cases Of typhoid fever
the deaths have numbered less than
twenty-five. and there is one firm that
has moss on hand enough for several
years.

MOSES DEFENDS HIMSELF.
Recent Criticism Declared Unjust by
the Congressman.

the Congressman.
Carrollton, Ga, Aug. Congressman
G. L. Moses, of this district, was seen by
the correspondent of the MORNING News
this morning in reference to the dispatch
published in the News few days since
from Atlanta, which criticises the con-
gresham for appointing his brother as
postmaster at Carrollton and another
brother as chief deputy of Hon.
Paul Trammell. the new revenue collec-
tor. The dispatch stated that Mr. Moses
had given GeOrgians advice to push their
ambitions on Georgia's soil - This latter
charge Mr. Moses said did him great in
Justice, for he never made such a re-
mark in his life, but on the other hand.
had done all in his power to secure places
for the people of his district and state
In reference to appointing his brother
postmaster at Carrolton Mr.. Moses said
that he was the only candidate Early
in the spring there were two candidates
for the postofIice here, but later one of
them withdrew, which left Mr.. Moses
brother the only applicant.
In reference to the appointing of his
brother, Hon. l.. T. Moses, as Tram
mell's chief deputy, Mr. Moses said he
did not seek the place for him, did not
recommend him for the place, and after
the position was oHered 10 ms brother he
tried to persuade him not to ac-
cept. Mr.. L. T. Moses secured
the place on the recommendation
of Gen Gordon, w. Y. Atkinson and
other leading Georgia democrats, and
really against the protest of his brother,
the congressman. Mr.. Moses said his
