NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Sept. 12.-Speculation in
stocks to-day was duh and the move
ment of prices irregular, but mainly
trending lower. There was not even a
suggestion of other than powerful in
terest. The local market opened weak
and lower at declines extending to /
per cent. The downward movement
was checked after the first hour and
recoveries occurred in most instances.
The improvement was based upon an
exceptionally favorable bank state
ment as a result of the heavy gold
imports. The exhibit proved disap-
pointing, a gain of only $539,275 in
legal reserve being shown, while de-
posts flew off 81 ,417,500. The ex-
PLANTATION given was that the shipments
of currency to the interior had been
considerably above the estimates and
that the gold imports only figured
for five days in the statement. Ship
ments through the sub-Treasury dur
ing the week averaged about 100000
a day and the banks shipped fully as
much. To-day the sub-Treasury trans
ferred to New Orleans $250,000 and
there was deposited 100000 in gold
in exchange for greenbacks. In the
last half hour prices again receded
and the closing was weak at sharp
fractional net losses generally.

New York, Sept 12.-(speeiaD-rhe
foreign markets declined sharply to-
dav under a combination Of political
rumors. crop estimates and long Iiqul-
dation TO a lower point than any one
looked for last evening. Naturally,
orr market followed the decline but
showed more strength than expected
until lust before the close, when large
orders from Liverpool We're executed
on a report that The English cabinet
was hurriedly called to meet on Sun
dav. This meeting was thought to be
upon the Turkish question which is
again looming up as disturbing fac
tor in the situation, We do not be-
lieve the situation is as serious as 1t IS
regarded abroad, for the great powers
are apt to work in harmony in settling
this question, Locally, the liquidation
seems about over, with more indiea-
tions of a revival in the demand for
American spinners, who are feeling
the effect OF the revival in trade, based
on the anticipated success of sound
money in the coming elections.

Mrs. Harriet Elizabeth Stowe,

crime in-the labors of school
at Hartford, in 1927, afierward
removed TO Walnut Hill near

1882 TO Rev. Calvin q. Stowe,
d. D. Mrs. Stowe wrote several
tales and sketches, which were
afterward collected under The
title of the May Flower, 1849.
In 1850 she contributed to the
National Era, an anti slavery
paper published at Washington
Uncle Toms Cabin as a
serial. This was published in
book form in 1852, and met
with great success; $4,000
copies were sold in the United
States within three years and a
half, and in all, over 100000
copies, including "a German
edition. In Great Britain its
sale was enormous. 1t has been
translated into more than TWEEN
ty languages, including Welsh,
Russian, Armenian, Arabic,
Chinese and Japanese; there
were fourteen different German
aud four different French YER
sions; and it was dramaiized in
various forms. Mrs. Stowe has
published a great many books
since Uncle Toms Cabin
She visited Europe in 1858, and
in the following year published
Sunny Memories of Foreign
Lands" A little work entitled
Geography for My Children"
was published in 1855, and the
next year appeared her second
anti slavery novel, "Dred; a
Tale Of the Dismal Swamp"
republished in 1859 under the
title of Nina Gordon" In
subsequent works Mrs. Stowe
has delinealed the domestic
life of New England of fifty or
hundred years ago. In Sep
TENDER, 1869, Mrs. Stowe con
tributed to the Atlantic Month
" and to Macmillan's Magazine
an article, entitled "The True
Story of Lady Byron's Life y
This article evoked a storm OF
literary criticism, which was
by no means allayed by the
publication in 1870 Of her work
entitled Lady Byron Eindicat-

member Of the crew. lie al

The others. He liked TO lunch
between meals, and if flying
fish came aboard in the course
of y passage he would take it
forward to the cook, who.
knowing Toms peculiar taste,
would clip the wings ofthe fish,
prepare it and cook it to a turn
for the cat.
Tom was good-natufed and
frolicsome and had many
friends in all parts. People at
