NEW YORK MARKETS.
Financial.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 9.-Stocks were in
active again to-day. but the tendency was down
ward. The weakness of the market was some
what of surprise to the average operator in view
Of the renewal of gold imports and the heaviness
Of sterling exchange. To-day's engagement OF
nearly 81 100000 was an increase from London
which will bring the weeks imports up to about
$5,O00000. The amount ordered and in London
since August last is about $63,000,000 Bullion
dealers report steady inquiry, and are asking
3-16 10 II per cent commission. Foreign exchange
reduced half cent 81 81 10 81 S412, and
ruled weak TO the close. AS on yesterday sugar
was the feature of trading, and dropped PA per
cent 10 l05 on dealings OF $500 shares.
Refined SUGAR was reduced another 1s cent per
pound and this added 10 the bearIsh feeling. Man
haitian and Tobacco were strong in the early deal
ings, rising TO 9312 and 691s respectively. Man
haitian influenced by the old report of a deal
with the Metropolitan Traction. Nothing definite
could be obtained and the impression is growing
The rise in tobacco was generally ascribed to COW
ering OF short contracts. In the late trading the
entire list weakened owing to sudden advance in
call money to 3 per cen ne rise in the rate led
TO marketing of round amounts of London stock
and under this process the usually active list

Lord Masham's income of f100, 600 per
annum is very largely due to the lucky
idea of utilizing the waste silk for the
manufacture of plush. He started this
industry on large scale, and was soon
one OF the biggest manufacturers of plush
in England. Since then he has turned his
attention to coal; but plush was one of
the main foundations of his wealth.

In Going to Richmond.
At meeting last evening Of Burnside
Post. No. S, Grand Army of the Potomac.
resolutions were adopted as follows:
"Whereas there is to be laid, on the
Both instant, the corner stone of mon
ument to Jefferson Davis. who was an
arch enemy of this country and of man.
kind, whose teaching and example influ-
enced many to disregard their sacred oaths
of allegiance to their country, and desert
the flag they had sworn to uphold and pro-
tect; and
Whereas both DR.. Lane and the COM
mittee on High and Normal schools were
not averse to loaning the rifles, and even
favored the trip of The High School Cadets
to attend the ceremonies incident to lay
ing the corner stone referred to; and
Whereas Major Ross. in charge Of mil
itary instruction in the public schools is
reported to have said: 1T is an exceeding
ly unfortunate occurrence all around, and
both [ and the cadets are very sorry we
cannot obtain the guns" Therefore,
BE 1T resolved by the members Of Burn
side Post, No. =, Department of the Poto-
mac, G. A. R.. now and here present, That
We denounce and condemn the evident lack
of loyalty to the nation on the part of
these public officials; and
thoughtlessness Of the High School Ca
dets, and that they have read the history
of their country to SO little purpose;
THAT copy OF these resolutions be fur
nished the three daily papers of the city,
the District Commissioners, the chairman
of the board of school trustees, the princi-
pal of the High School and school super
intendent.''
A member of the school board committee
on Normal and High schools said this after
noon to a Star reporter that there has ap-
parently been considerable misapprehen-
sion on the part of the public to the
attitude of the school authorities in this
matter. When the boys first applied to the
committee for permission to use the guns
of the battalion for the Richmond trip he
said the question of the terms of the bond
given to the Secretary of War was raised
at once, and that it was Immediately dis
covered that the request could not be grant
ed, whatever might be the views of the in
dividual members of the committee. There
upon the matter was dropped. No assur-
aLces were given to the boys that they
might have the guns, nor were any prom
ises held out.
DR.. Lane, the principal of the Central
School, left last night on vacation trip.
He stated distinctly to Star reporter the
day the provisional battalion was formed
at his school that under no circumstances
would he allow gun to be taken from the
| High School armorieS, nor would he permit
even the side arms to be used.
