Only Telescope Can Find the Visitor,
However.
A comet is being heralded by as
tronomers. 1t is not visible to the
naked eye, but with a telescope the
outlines can be made out. The yisi-
tor is called Encke's comet, and was
discovered by Pons, Nov. 20. 1918
II is known by Encke's name, how
ever, because of the latter's discov-
cry in 1919 that it revolved in the
theoretically short period of 1.2O4
days. and had been already observed
in 17S6. 1875 and 1895. Since then
it has returned regularly. 1t is very
rarely visible to the naked eye. being
OF extreme tenuity, very pale and
diffused in appearance even when
seen through the telescope. and is
without tail. Its orbit does not ex-
tend so far as the orbit of Jupiter.
and slight acceleration in its peri
odic- times of return was regarded
until lately as suggesting the possi-
bility of the space, within our solar
system at least. being occupied by a
resisting medium, though of extreme
rarity.
Opens q Wider Field.
1t has, however. though apparent
ly an insignificant object, opened a
wider field of discovery than any 9TH
er comet on record. 1t has afforded
striking instance OF the changes
which take place in the nebulous
matter when approaching The sun
and in retreating from it. Stars
which have been seen through il
more than once have attested the
high degree of its attenuation. while
the smallness of its orbit and the
shortness. of its period give it almost
the characteristic of planet.

NEW YORK sTOcK MARKET

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK, October 3l.-Stocks ruled
firm this morning and the tendency Of
prices was upward until the September
statement OF ST. Paul was made public.
This report. showing as it did a decrease
in net earnings of $lGl. $50. was unfavora-
bly, interpreted. and was the signal for a
general attack on the Changers. In the
early trading the market ruled firm. and
there was a disposition TO cover short
contracts In the Anthracite Coolers. some
OF the purchases being traced to brokers
identified with inside interests. Jersey
Central recovered to 95h: Delaware and
Hudson 2h. to PA, and Lackawanna
25s, to 1854. The other active stocks
moved up !. to / per cent. Chicago Gas
the Changers. and Manhattan were most
prominent, the upward movement being
stimulated By the decline in sterling eX-
change. which makes IL tolerably certain
that no gold will be shipped this week.
After the publication of the st. Paul
statement a lively selling movement In
Northwest set in, which carried the stock
down from lOlii to 9s7s. The reason as
signed for the weakness of the stock was
the report that reduction in dividend was
contemplated. This dividend Is not due
until the end of the year, and nothing
official can be obtained about the natter.
There was plenty OF stock for sale. how
ever, fully 5000 shares having come out
on the way down. Certificates I'm the
name OF a prominent bull house were de-
livered.
The ease with which the stock yielded to
pressure led to liquidation in the other
Changers, and Burlington and Quincy de-
clined rs, st. Paul ~. and st. Paul.
and Omaha ia. The preferred stock OF
the last-named closed at 100 bid and 10
asked, against l05alll last night: Mis-
souri, Pacific, Manhattan, Western Union,
and Chicago Gas reacted Y to IA per cent.
and Delaware and Hudson IL, to l22Ai a
l23i2.
The trunk lines were weak. Lake Shore
falling to t3lGl3lis. New York Central to
974, and Canada Southern to 1917. The
than the usual amount Of trouble. and the
meetings called for tomorrow and Friday

American Sugar was quite a feature. 1t
opened steady at sil2dSis4. broke to Si2,
rose u S5ls, and receded TO %5s at the
close. when the general list weakened.
The early break was due To the weak con-
ditlon Of the market for refined. but at the
decline lower Wall-street interests were

l25 couples enjoyed the delightful maZes
of the dance and the supper. which was
served in the Grand Lodge banquet-hall,
q complete success. and this fact was
largely due to the unrelenting efforts Of

The readings of the thermometer were
taken on an elevated plateau near the

They are self-registering, OF the very best
French manufacture. and the figures are
believed to be absolutely correct:
