 A large number or cattlemen and alec a few strangers came in On the srsin las. night to spend Christmas in town. 4 number of races are also to come of during the afternoon and this will add quite little to the attrac- tons.
 Quite a number of Bisbee's young folks from the university at Tucson came in on the train las. evening to spend the holidays at home; among them we noticed Bert Warner, Ed and Nellie Hughes, L;iiie Burr and Her bert Brown. They are all well pleased with the school and arrangements there and their greatest desire in all cases is to be able 10 complete their various cour.e-.
 The entertainms mt given Wednes- day evening by Unity Rebecca Lodge No. 3 was quite A novelty to the peO pie of Bisbee, and was all of the suc- cess which 1t 60 richly deserved to he. The ladies of the lodge put themse Ives to great derl of trouble in getting up the various features but they were fully repaid by the nun,ero.s com ments of approval which ;ney beard on a.! sidss. The ie .turas were s'l well received wrhaut +xcep:ion lr III first to last, aud the singing was par ticulaTly p.aisewoithy. A, the n- cl,.lon Of the entertain fneDt hOL cJi fee and light iunc@ecn were served b, tine ladies. after which the aJor WAS cleared for dancing and the young folks enjoyed themselves Co the iI.i til the usual hOur of closing had long been past. Taken all in all it was most enjoyable affair from the start and we hope our fair friends ~ill not forget that they know how 10 get up good entertainment and will favor us with another soon ss occasion ofers.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Oct. 2.-The stock mar
ket to-day was subjected to further
heavy realizations and bear aggression
and the course of prices, at first ir-
regular, eventually worked toward a
lower level. The specialities were
conspicuous on manipulation. The
market at the close, especially in the
forenoon dealings, became practically
stagnant, but later disclosed COMPARE
tive activity, chiefly at the expense
of values.
The distribution Of the dealings was
only moderately good and the specula-
ton had a strong flavor of profession
alism throughout. The bears and one
operator in particular, put out lines
of shorts with freedom, hoping to cause
material decline. The only arguments
brought against the market as whole
were the increasing strength of the
foreign exchange market and expecta-
tions of comparatively unfavorable
bank statement, owing to the heavy
shipments of funds to the West and
South for crop moving purposes. That
this movement is not without fruit
is illustrated by the fact that exports
of wheat during the past week were
the largest since September, 1898.
Shipments of unds through the sub
Treasury were larger than usual, ag-
gregating for the day $1,025,00.
Call money rates worked Slightly
higher, but this condition was regarded
as only temporary, The movement in
the general list was narrow, as a rule.
The receipts of higher London quota
tions for American securities contrib
uted toward a strong and advancing
market. with the more noteworthy
gains in the Industrials and interna-
tional shares 1t was imputed, how
ever, as upon yesterday, that the Lon
don market has been rugged" for eff
feet upon this side, so as to permit re-
alizations. A period of extreme dull
ness soon followed the initial furry,
and was, in turn, succeeded by inactiy-
ity, on selling for both accounts.
The closing was weak at sharp frac-
tional net losses generally.
Railroad bonds were quiet but gener
ally firm. Trading in Reading issues
continues to attract general attention.
