Feeling on General Market
Not Very BuIIish.
American Tobacco Company to
Largely Increase Facilities.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-The feeling on
the general market is not particularly
builish, but 1t is thought that there will
be sharp rallies in the event OF sterl-
ing exchange weakening and no ship
ments taking place In the immediate pres
ent, other than those made for special
purposes. There is no doubt that the
Changers have been heavily oyersoid and
sight must not be lost OF the fact that the
show immense increases, beginning with
the month OF October. This Improvement
cannot be without effect and the course OF
speculation, especially during the past
few weeks, has demonstrated TO all that
are open TO reason and conviction that
long holdings are not TO be forced out.
There is e distinctly more hopeful feel
ing in London, and provided New York
does not again throw cold water over
bullish enthusiasm that is gradually
growing on that aide, higher prices are
certain to rule for Am mericSns next week.
Bull tips are quite plentiful on Sugar,
and IL Is given out sub-rosa that con-
certed effort will be made TO drive in
whatever short interest exists in this
some selling OF Sugar and trade con-
ditions are not what they ought to be.
Chicago Gas is unquestionabiy a good
property and people who will sell 1t be-
cause OF pending litigation and the threats
that are being uttered in Wall street are
likely to rue the confidence they place in
irresponsible parties.

James Fox, Grand Army man of Fair
Haven, fell 40 feet down the stairway in
the Columbian Hotel in Saratoga, n. Y,
Tuesday. He was picked up apparently
dead, but the coroner detected signs of re-
turning life, although the heart was not
beating. He resorted at once to artificial
respiration and the patient at once began
to breathe. Other physicians were sum
moned and an examination showed that
the neck was dislocated at the second GER
vical vertebra. BY a careful surgical ma
nipulation the column was replaced and
bandaged without injury to the spinal cord,
and Mr.. Fox at once regained the power of
speech and full respiration. Heis now APP

VIII DIv,de $4,000 600 Profit.

The four per cent government bonds
that were sold to the Morgan Belmont syn
dictate are all printed and signed and AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Curtis
will sail next week for Europe to deliver
the thirty millions of them that were
placed abroad. 1t is the talk on Wall street
that the members of the syndicate will di-
vide about $12,OOO,0OO among themselves
as the profits on the loan. 1t is figured
thus: The government purchased $62,-
100000 in gold and paid for it in four per
cent bonds having thirty years to run. The
profit to the syndicate is the difference in
the price at which the bonds were received
in payment for the gold and the price at
which the syndicate sold the bonds to the
public in this country and abroad. Bonds
amounting to $30,0OO,0O0 were sold in this
country, and the rest were sold abroad.
They were sold at prices which practically
return to the syndicate 40 per cent of the
money spent for bonds in this country.

The City Robbed of $1,000, OOO---One
Man Was Drawing 81 Salaries.

Commissioner Kent of the Chicago public
works department is hard at work unearthng
frauds which he thinks have cost the city 8 ,000
600, this amount having been stolen by officials of
different grades, either through the aid of rela-
tives who connived with them, or petty ward pol
city treasury as a reward for services rendered in
political campaigns. In the 23d and oath wards
thelname of ex-senator O'Malley has been on 81
payrolls, and he has drawn that number of sala-
res from the city without having performed any
labor. The proceeds of the steals, it is charged,
were divided with various politicians of the Hop
kins administration. O'Malley obtained notorie
ty at last springs election by shooting Hickman
Shepherd and murderously assaultng bar tend
er in a North Side saloon while on a spree, and he
is now under indictment for these offences.
