rho Price of Meat Advancing.

SPRINGFIELD Mass, July 8.-The great
western u strike has perhaps affected no
other business to such degree as it has
the neat business, and from the present
outlook it is not rash to assert that unless

there will be a genuine meat famine
throughout New England. There is little

New York, March 6.-There was great
excitement in the sugar crowd on the
exchange. Stock advanced 1 per cent.
at time until it reached 100. 1t then
started back to 81. The dealings were
very extensive.
Then sugar began to advance very
rapidly, and soon a scene of the great
est excitement ensued, such as has not
been witnessed on the exchange for
many months Sugar jumped IL per
lcent, broke 8, and rallied 3. The move
ment 10 put up the prices on shorts in
inns Stock was very carefully manipu-
lated by the brokers for James r.
keene. Large buying orders were dis
tr1buted throughout the sugar crowd.
and as the price advanced a number of
puylng stop orders were uncovered,
which sent the figures up / and per
cent. at jump till 100 was reached.
Ihen the price receded as rapidly to
81, and recovered to 59A The only ex-
PLANTATION of the rise is that the shorts
lstampeded and were determined to COW
er at any price, believing themselves
cornered. While the deal was in prog
ress all other business was suspended.
The entire transaction did not occupy
ten minutes, then the exchange re-
sumed its wonted appearance. Sugar.
preferred, was not concerned in the
Hurry, but sympathiZed to the extent
of 81. The shorts. ran to cover in other
lines as well, causing Western Union to
advance IA to other fractions
Up to noon the sales of sugar reached
| the enormous total of over a hundred
thousand shares, and it is reported that
private settlement, foreign, on %, 900
were at the top figures on one contract
by big short. 1t is very likely that
several other short contracts were set
tied on a par basis. After IL this stock
broke 21a to 9315, rallied to 95h, broke
to 92sz, recovered to SO. Preferred sold
down to S9% and speculation gradually
lost the greater part of it's feverishness.
During the afternoon, sugar sagged
steadily and in the late dealings reced-
ed to 90A. closing at 901z, a decline of
I915 from the best of the day. The gen
eral market opened a fraction lower,
and in the early dealings the active list
reacted h@%.
Later Louisville & Nashville and
White Lead broke 2 per cent; recover
led half. The other shares which had
receded also made a partial rally. The
market closed weak. with majority
of the active list as@11s per cent. lower

than the law allows. The members

by the Council. was accepted by the
House without debate under the pre-
vious question, moved by Mr.. Varian.
Members desired the consideration
postponed one day in order that the
amendments, which constituted the
greater portion of the bill, might be
printed, but this was not allowed, the
majority not deeming it necessary that
it should be fully understood. Only the
day before Mr.. Varian had demanded
the postponement for one day of an
amended bill in order that its provis-
ions might be studied but it was not

And Now the Post Should Lecture the

EDITOR TINES: Your morning ccntempo-
rary rests its opposition to any further con-
sideration or action by the board of trade on
the civil service reform resolution. upon the
ground that the subject matter of the resolu-
tion is foreign to the objects and scope of the
board. Its latest utterance appears in the
issue OF November q, wherein it protests
against a course of action on the part of the
board OF trade that would belittle its infiu-
ence and be liable to serious misconstruc-
ton
In the same issue of this "devout believer
in true civil service reform l read an account
of the annual dinner of the New YORK Cham
ber of Commerce. an organization similar in
design to and at least of equal dignity with
our board of trade. The principal speaker of
the occasion was the chairman of tho now
famous committee of seventy, who. discuss
ing the plans for continuing and completing
the good work 50 auspiciously begun on No
yember 6, said among other things: ''The
police department must be divorced from
political influence as much as the regular
Army, and this can only be accomplished
with a single head. The chamber of COM
merce is committed to this principle by an
unanimous Yete.''

city finds itself able to assume position in
such a matter surely the board of trade can
afford to follow its example
If the resolution shall come before the

that will leave no doubt in any candid mind
of the entire propriety of giving its indorse-
men to the principle embodied in the much
debat ed resolution. Yours,

Good Templars Like THE Times.

At Harris Hall, Seventh and D streets
northwest, on Monday evening, Washington
Lodge. No. 4, held regular session of un-

Blanche Crowne; secretary, Sister Miller;
financial secretary, W. F. Mcdaniel; treas
urer, William Tucker; guard, Miss Ella
Thomas; sentinel, Harry East, and lodge dep
uty, Sister Mortimer. Much new business
was introduced and discussed. In remarks
by Wilbur Mcdaniel, THE TIMES was COM
mended for its gathering of Good Templar
news, it being the first newspaper in the city
to invite and publish correspondence of the
l. o. G.. t., the strongest organization of its
kind in existence. The business OF the lodge
was conducted in such manner that steady
growth and progress is assured.

THOROUGHLY COSMOPOLITAN.
and the Experience of a
Wild Westerner

Notwithstanding his Identification with
British life and manners there is little of the
Englishman about Bret Harte Rather he
reminds one of French aristocrat, whose
cosmopolitan contact with the world adds to
the charm OF his presence.
Over his cigar, with gentle play of humor
and variety of unconscious gestures, which
are always graceful and never twice the same,
he touches upon this very subject-the i'm
pressions made upon him by his first sights
of gold hunting in California, and the eye
and mind which he brought to bear upon the
novel;
Instead of being, as the reader usually con-
ceives, one of the lcng-bearded. loose-iointed
heroes of the Western Walhalla he is a pol
ished gentleman of medium height, with a
curling gray mustache.
In lieu of the recklessness of frontier
methods in dress, his attire exhibits nicety
of detail which in man whose dignity and
sincerity was less impressive, would seem
foppish.
Bret Harte's new serial. "Clarence," will
comm ence in the Sunday TIMES of November
%, and will be published in weekly parts
until finished.
