GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. October 9.-The general
characteristics of today's stock market
were identical with those of its immediate
predecessors Opening prices were about
on a parity with last nights closing level
a small volume of business preventing sig
nificant fluctuations Sugar and Manhattan
were the active features of the day, the
trading being periodically favorable to each
account
The numerous rumors OF possible rivals
to the American Sugar Company continue
to inspire sales on every rally. but the able
market management always noticeable
during active periods in this property, pre-
vents any serious break in price. fur
ther reduction in certain grades of the re-
morning. and gave rise to the presumption
that the declining movement was not
wholly undesirable to the manipulative in
terest.
the opening level. but at the advance the
selling was conceded to be superior to the
buying. Recent developments In this prop
erty would indicate that the stock accumu-
lated by the operators credited with in
spring the advance has been systemati-
cally marketed during the last five days.
The merits of the stock at the present
price are consequently not SO liberaly ad-
vertised as heretofore.
The general market while extremely dull
and void Of feature, was well held a frac-
tional advances from the opening level.
The announcement of an engagement of
f3DO00 gold in Paris for export to the
United States and the withdrawal of
EiJ6OO0 from the Bank of England for the
same purpose were the most encouraging
developm ents of the day.
A reduction of half per cent in posted
rates Of exchange and the probabilities of
a declining market for all classes of for
eign accommodations encouraged a more
liberal buying of securities Turing the af-
ternoon.
London cables reported an increased in
Quiry In that market for import gold at a
slight advance over the rates paid for the
actual engagements previously announced.
Should the present supply of commercial
drawings continue without a material in
crease in the demand from remitters. the
probabilities are encouraging for liberal ad-
ditions to recent importations.
Money rates were a trifle more satisfac-
tory to borrowers during the day, owing 20
a decreased demand. The Reading assess
ments now being disposed OF, the stock and
the money market are both likely to be
benefited.
The political phase Of the speculative
situation, while the subject of many con-
hicting opinions. is not considered to be
hostile to vested interests beyond the usual
6egree accorded to future developments.
The support given to prices at every de-
cline continues to attract attention, and be-
cause Of its confident character has pre-.
vented a more substantial liquidation OF
long stock.

A REMEMBRANCE OF NANsEN.
His Attafnments as . Water Color

From tho Iondon (hronIcle

Ten years ago, after much skillful manip-
ula ton of anxious parents, two girls set
of to Norway together. They have since
compared notes with many similar travel
ers, but firmly believe tnat no one has had
half so good or adventurous a time, and
that the best part of the expedition was
comradeship for a few days with DR.. Nam
sen.
It was somewhere on the Hardanger that
we caught sight Of his big muscular figure
among a little crowd of villagers coming On
to the steamer. He was dressed in a rough
brown Jaeger suit, which hinted at very

cloth with a hole for the neck suggested a
topcoat-being off duty it was twisted in
rope round him. picturesque slouch hat
on the top of his fair, closely cropped head
completed the outrig.
We made friends over our sketches. for
with native simplicity and frankness he
had demanded look through my book as
soon as he had caught sight Of its contents.
which consisted mainly Of caricatures Of
people we had met. such as the buxom
landlady Of the Bergen Hotel, over which
he laughed heartily. His own sketchbook
was full of beautiful water-color drawings
done on an italian tour from which he was
just returning. A few months later he sent
us Christmas card, a little painting Of
the ford whore we met, which Is treasured
up as a priceless remembrance of the now
great explorer.
From Eide we carried his few belongings
on our carioles to Voss while he trudged
the twenty miles in the same time, walking
alongside for a chat when his path crossed
ours.
A fair was going on in the village, and
after some wild strawberries and cream on
the balcony, we had a merry time, going

was no nearer winning prize than the

There were no other visitors in the inn

A FISHING CAMP STORY.
Al Illustrating the High Price Of
Brook Trout.

A llAootfAting the High Price OF
Brook Trout.
What was the most expensive meal you
ever sat down tor was the question a
Star reporter put to young man who is
known to be fond Of good eating.
That's a hard question to answer" he
replied Il have eaten many a good din
ner that some one else paid for. 1 was at
the banquet given in this city last winter
to Governor Shepherd. and / have dined at
famous restaurant at Monte Carlo, where
they charge you all the money you have
to keep you from losing 1t at roulette: they
say it is in the interests Of morality. But
what DO you think of a breakfast for four
people that ran well up into the thousands
Of dollars?
mo. 1 didn't really pay that for it, but
l came too close for comfort. You see, it
came about in this way. was at a fishing
camp located on a little lake. Never mind
where 1t was; would rather no one knew.
The season for trout fishing does not close
for that lake until the last of September.
Flowing into 1t Is one Of the prettiest lit
tie brooks you ever saw, and it's full OF
trout, small, but gamy, and the most de-
licious fish that ever found their way into
frying pan.
well, about a month ago 1 made up my
mind to have a try at those brookies and
see if couldn't get a mess for breakfast.
l did. When 1 got back to camp and
emptied my creel / found that l had
caught Just stxty-one trout, nice break
| fast for four people, but none too much.
About half of them. 1 should think, were
| under the legal size, and 1 laid m-self
open to trouble for not throwing them
back into the brook. II you have ever eat
| en- brook trout about the size of your
middle finger you will understand why
did not throw them back.
"A short dme after returned to camp a
guide, who was a great friend of mine,
came to me and warned me not to say vefy
| much about my fishing trip.
why notT / asked.
"'Well, you see, this is the 1st Of Sep
| tember.'
What of h?'
only this. that while the close season
| does not begin until October on the lake. it
begins on the 1st of September in the case
| of the brook. There Ia a special act of the
legislature that provides for the lake. but
does not touch the brook. It's a case of
so fine for every fish taken out of season.
| and am afraid there are plenty of people
in this neighborhood who would be only
| too glad to see a city man pinched.'
The next morning We had the fish for
| breakfast. and, apart from the coffee and
| rolls that went with them, We scheduled
| that meal at S3,0jO. Fortunately for me,
| the bill was never presented, for no one
| gave the story away, but i did not feel

The Work StOpped,

A special appropriation of $1,000 at the
last session of Congress gave the Com
missioners money enough to renew the
city lines of police telephone and fire alarm
telegraph wires An effort was made to get
sufficient appropriation to put all the Dis
trict wires underground, but this failed,
and the renewal under the appropriation
had to be overhead.
But there will be no change for some
time to come. The contract was let to A
Davis, jr.. to furnish and equip eighty or
more poles sixty feet high for this pur-
pose, and he Immediately set about to do
the work. Yesterday one of the poles that
was about to be erected in Georgetown was
attached, and now the entire work of re-
constructing the lines has ceased until the
case is heard in magistrates court.
