NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, September 25.-The rail-
way and miscellaneous share speculation.
after an irregular and rather ragged
opening, became strong. under the lead
erehip OF the Industrials. Sugar, Tobac-
co. Distillers, and Chicago Gas were in
particularly good request, and advanced
anywhere from IL to 2 SIS per cent
Sugar rose to los 3-s. Tobacco to 10l -
Distiller's to q rs, and Chicago to 40 i-s
The last named subsequently receded to
90 i-4G70.
The buying Of Sugar was the result
of the further advance Of lilo per pound
on refined Tobacco was strengthened
by reports that a settlement Of the trade
troubles was imminent. The rise In Dis
tiller's was due 10 rumors from Chicago
that the Greenhut-M Morris outfit had
made their peace with the present in
siders.
The engagement OF 100000 gold for
shipment 10 Germany tomorrow had an
effect adverse for a time. The bulk Of
this gold is intended for Austria, and
the shippers will forward an additional
amount later In the week
Leading bankers are paying little at
tention to this movement. and are de-
voting their time TO the placing Of new
loans. To-day II was announced that
Harvey Fisk & Sons. and others. had
formed a syndicate to purchase $4,000, 900
new As. prior lien, for a European
syndicate. That a good demand prevails
for first-class securities Is clearly Illus
! trated by the placing by Vermylee OF
the bonds Of the Lehigh. The books
were opened for subscriptions at 10
O'Clock, and before the close Of the day
the issue had been oversubscribea

firm. President Bond OF the ST. Paul
road said to-day that the earnings OF

on the announcement that all the leading
companies had advanced prices 90 cents
per ton at Western points.

 According to the City of Mexico municipal register of bicycles, there are 40s licensed wheels each of which pays a tax of fifty cents per month or nearly s2,500 year. The cost of col lection is nothing since it falls upon the general administration of coaches, without any increase of clerical force or salaries.
 A recent telegram from the City of Mexico says: Fl Diario del Hogar, a liberal organ, asserts that the clerical party is continually gaining ground aud that in time they dream of send ing a papal nuncio here, practically abrogating the reform law, directed against the clergy, and governing the country by an alliance with the civil powers.
 The government of Mexico has no official report of the Colima disaster, but collectors of ports all report to the minister of finance that the ship was overloaded and top heavy and the captain and officers derelict in their duty. President Diaz has therefore ordered that no ship be granted clear ance papers unless the authorities are satisfied they are all right.
 The El Paso Herald says: "There is serious trouble brewing in Fl Paso and Juarez, of which few people know anything. The trouble is not between Americans and Mexicans, for between these two nations only the friendliest feeling exists, but the trouble is be- tween certain officers on this side and a gang of renegade Americans on the other side of the riyer."
 In the capital of the republic there has been organized society named La Gratitud Nacional, consisting of 365 members, each of whom 0n his de signated day deposits on the tombs of the illustrious heroes of Mexican inde- pendence floral crowns and emblems, keeping decorated all the year the re- positories of the sacred ashes of those whom all patriotic Mexicans love and revere.
 A dispatch from San Cristobal, Mex leo, says: "Couriers have arrived here bringing information from the seat of the Indian war in Yucatan. Govern ment advices state that the Indians have made stand aud are preparing to make an attempt to drive the gov ernment troops out of the territory to which they lay claim. The Indians are armed with improved rifles. The government forces on the frontier are being constantly augmented. They are being sent to Yucatan by shiT loads from all parts of Mexico, and there is every prospect of a terrible war. Several skirmishes have oc cured between the Indians and the troops.n

 heard in a Barber Shop.

NEXT: What do you suppose the town council thought they were do- ing when they went to Tucson to try getting the court commissioner to raise the injunction he had slapped on them?
 VICTIM: 1 have quit guessing aloud in these town matters.
 BARBER: Why?
 VICTIM: Because the moment one expresses himself on the probabilities of the result, all who don't want it that way set it down right once that he does.
 4t.
 NEXT: What do you think now of the squabble over the council and it's effort to collect taxes.
 VICTIM: l think they will expend in lawing enough money to pay the debts of the Orc Blanco road and put it in the best of repair, and to build the Washington Pass road beside. THE OTHER MAN: Yes; and I am credible informed that for want of the latter road the Sonora Copper Co.,, and La Nina Mexicana people are en- deavoring to get the Mexican govern ment to open custom house on the San Pedro and will send all their traffic to Fairbank, taking that much more away from Nogales.
 #F.
 VICTIM: Have you never called to mind how Nogales is right in the swim?
 BARBER: How?
 VICTIM: Why it is in unison with all the rest of the towns in the cOun- try of any consequence in having in its hand row with it's city fathers. In Philadelphia they are making dire threats to their aldermen for misap- propriation of public funds; in Chi cago it is gas ordinance which has aroused the ire of the people against the city council; in Denver a water ordinance is the cause of grand ruc- tion; and in Nogales it is the Orc Blanco road.
 THE OTHER MAN: Have they sent anybody to jail yet in any of the cities mentioned?
 NEXT: No; but they promise to do so in all of them.
 K
 NEXT: Why don't you buy bi- cycle.
 BARBER: am waiting for the prices to come down. 1 have read that next year wheels now selling for Sl00 will be bought for $50.
 VICTIM: No doubt they will, after being used a year by someone.
 THE OTHER MAN: It will be long time before a first class wheel will sell for less than slOO. The demand is far in excess of the supply, and the cost of material is going up.
 BARBER; Well; the price of horse flesh is falling, and may soon be able to buy horse. It is stated that since 1890 the value of horses in the United States has fallen from S978, 8,000,000 to S476, ,0O0 GOO; and there are million more horses now than then.
 NEXT: Webb sold all his horses just in time.
