to cover short contracts at the opening of
the Stock Exchange this morning and
prices bounded up Ia To IA per cent
Chicago Gas was the feature. 5000 shares
changing hands at Go 12 to Sc Ia right

A confident tone prevailed in stock
circles this morning and prices advanced
l 4 TO 1 5-S per cent. all along the line
The improvement was most pronounced

l Ia to Sc Ii, Lead 5-S to "a rs,
Pacific Mail to "a 1-2. Lackawanna
20 165, Jersey Central I Ia to liz

The advance was due to higher prices
nom London; the favorable report Of the
St. Paul for the second week of Septem-
Der; the settlement of the Pacific Mall
Pan-American troubles, and the improved
condition Of the Anthracite coal trade.
The gold question received less attention

negro that Just measure of favor as q
member of society the laws afford him
and which his conduct deserves and the
long processes of time will determine
whether his presence is benefit or an in
fury to himself and to the land to which
he is now as warmly attached as his white
peighbor."
Another Interesting feature of the open
ing exercises was the speech of Booker
T Washington, representing the colored
race. Mr. Washington began by reminder
that one-third of the population Of the
South was of his race, ard that no enter
prise seeking the material, civil, or moral
welfare of that eection could disregard
that element of the population and reach
the highest success.
He acknowledged the recognition by the
exposition managers Of the value and man
hood of the American negro in the prosecu-
ton of the magnificent enterprise, and
said il would be more to cement the friend
ship of the two races than any occurrence
since the dawn of their freedom.
The speaker referred patheticaliy to
the loyal corduct of the colored people of
South; To those who were their friends,
and encouragement. LAS we have proved
our loyalty TO you in the past" said he,
''in nursing your children, watching by
ahe sickbcds of your mothers and fathers,
and often following them with tear dimmed
eyes TO their graves, SO in the future in our
tumble way we shall stand by you with
devotion that no foreigner can approach,
ready 10 lay down our lives il reed be in
defense OF yours interlacing our indus
trial, commercial, civil, and religious
life with yours in way that shall make
the interests OF both our races one.
I'm all thirgs that are purely social we
can be as separate as the fingers, yet one
as the hand in ell things essential to mutual
progress
In conclusion he repeated that nothing
In thirty years had given them more hope
and encouragement, and nothing drawn them
so near the white race. as the opportunity
offered by this exposition.
Another feature Of the ceremonies was the
reading by Mr.. Albert Howell, IT,, of the
Atlanta bar. of an ode written by Frank l..
Stanton. of the Atlanta Constitution, and
of which the seventh stanza reads:
Unto the North she cries: THY sister-I!'
Unto the East: Above us bends one skyi'
Unto the West: In union we live or diei'
And for that closer union still she pleads,
Ready with heart and hand and noblest
deeds

In the five-acre tract already completed
there has been an excess I'm the flll Of from
