With the exception OF Sugar. which
ranked third in volume Of business, the
railroad list entirely outclaBsed the In
dustrials In point of activity to-day
The grangers as group. attracted the
greatest share Of interest. although
Missouri Pacific ranked close second
to 81. Paul. which was the leader in
extent of trading. The dominating In
huenee upon the general market was
the government popular loan for which
bids will be opened mt noon tomorrow.
The market ut the outset was slightly
depressed, In sympathy with lower
cables for Americans In London, but
soon proved superior to this influence
and also to foreign selling in this mar
ket. Prices recovered and an upward
movement started which was in turn
stemmed by q determined drive at
Missouri Pacific. attended by rumors Of
a probable receivership and also OF dis
sensIons between the president OF the
company and Mr. Russell Sage. who are
understood to hold Jointly the bulk OF
the floating debt. The closing was
fairly active and at the best figures.
The railroad bond market sympathtzed
with the strength OF the stock mar
ket, but the advance reached full figures
in instances; sales were l.lS2.00O shares.
The bid prices for governments were
advanced sharply. especially for the
new As. The dealings footed up $4,000
State mortgages were quiet and UNI
changed and sales Of $500.
Government bonds strong and higher.
State bonds duh.
Railroad bonds firm.
The total sales ON stocks to-day were
23l,2l1 shares
New York Evening Posts London
financial cablegram:
The tone OF the stock markets was
generally good to-day. Business Is
slightly increasing in the absence OF
further political scareS. Investment
stocks and South American stocks were
the chief feature OF strength.
Americans were Idle until the New
York quotations arrived when sharp
rally followed. The closing was at
about the best.
The Paris bourse was active and firm
to-day, and the Berlin market was Arm.

A Surprise Party.

Saturday evening an elegant surprise
party was rendered our esteemed fellow
townsfolk who rejoice in the cognomen
of Weltmer. As the customary gorgeous
sunset gradually faded into "the shades
of night" mixed crowd might have been
seen ''silently and stealthily" mounting
the Weltmer hill by which Hillside Bunga-
low is reached. The good folks inside
we're busy with their usual Saturday night
occupations, when "a blood curdling yell'
brought them in posse to the terrace,
and the invading force drove them back
into the house. Producing weird and
mysterious hampers the intruders de-
clared that they had come to make a
night of it, and right we'll they fulfilled
their intentions. All the fun of the fair,
in connection with the triumph
of 16 to l, went on for couple of hours,
when dainty refreshments were served in
profus,on. One might as we'll try to
