NEW YORK, September Desperation
at the Stock Exchange to-day was char
acterized by firmness. Higher cables from
London assisted the upward movement at
the start, especially as the foreigners
were buyers of st. Paul, Louisville and
Nashville, and some of the low-priced
issues. The early rise was equal TO l-4u
per cent, Sugar. AtchisJn. Leather pre-
ferred, Pullman. and the Changers lead
ing
The advance brought out considerable
long stock, one house being credited with
sales OF 5000 shares of various stocks.
While the bulk of the selling was con-
sldered to be for the purpose Of turning
paper profits into cash. there was some
disposition to make ventures on the short
side because OF the firmness of sterling
exchange, and the belief that the i'm
port movement Of gold from Europe has
ceased, al least for a time.
The weakness of Sugar and Tobacco
was not without influence. ST. Paul was
sold By operators, who believe that the
weekly returns OF the company Will be un-
favorable for some time to come. In DC
tober of last year the road enjoyed a
phenomenal business. and the sellers
argue that the receipts next month VIII
necessarily make a poor showing.
Sugar VAS the most active stock on the
list. IL opened "a per cent. higher. at
liz "a. Long and short stock was prompt
~ supplied, however. and under these
offerings there was a decline to 10 rs.
II Is asserted In usually well-informed
quarters that the company has secured
the Camden refinery, and will pay for II
I'm cash.
Tobacco was another active stock, and
declined from 81 IS to 60 l-2 on the further
reduction in the price of Battle-Ax plug.
The directors met to-day and declared a
dividend of 2 per cent. on the preferred
stock and 3 on the scrip. The dividend
on the common was passed.
In the late afternoon trading the market
felt the effect OF steady POPULATIONS, and
prices showed a tendency to sag. The re-
action from the top Of the day equal
TO l-2 per cent. In the general list and
nearly per cent. in Sugar.
The market left off steady Net changes
show gains of l-4dl per cent. i'm some
cases. and losses of 1-Sa7-S per cent. in
others. The total sales were 2l6,0OO shares.

Denounces Cleveland for
Discrcditing silver and Enhancing

The following is an extract from the
address Of William Mckinley at the Lin
coln-Day banquet in Memorial Hall, To-
ledo, o., February II, 1891:
During all of Grover Cleveland's years
at the head of the government he
was dishonoring one of our precious
metals, one Of our own great products.
discrediting silver, and enhancing the
price of gold. He endeavored. even be-
fore his Inauguration TO office, to stop
the coinage of silver dollars, and after
ward. and to the end of his administra-
ton, persistently used his power TO that
end. He was determined to contract the
circulating medium and to demonetize
one OF the coins Of commerce. limit the
volume of money among the people, make
money scarce, and therefore dear. He
would have increased the value OF money
and diminished the value OF everything
else-money the master-everything else
the servant. He was not thinking
OF the poor then. He had left their
side He was not standing forth in their
defence. Cheap coats, cheap labor, and
dear money. The sponsor and promoter
Of these protesting to stand guard over
the welfare Of the poor and lowly. Was
there ever more inconsistency or reck-
less assumption"

When We reached Summit Station the
tram switched In 10 wait for the east
bound express, and after dinner the con-
ductor told US that we had two hours TO
wait. The passengers were strolling about
when man mounted box and began:
Ladies and Gentlemen: A few rods

the grizzly, and how he kin never, never
be domesticated. Kindness IS throwed

He, OF course, attracted every body's at

The young bear simply sat up and

fndian assistants had done In determin-

Early I'm September ''Peg-Leg" Smith
turned up missing In Los Angeles. and
the news came across the country week
or two later from San Bernardino that he
had been there and hastily and secret
~ Fitted OUT for camp OF several
months in the mountains and a mule
ride across the desert. He had. at the
last moment, taken two old mining chums
with him. and set out in the night. IL
Is almost impossible to track u man
across a desert OF ever-shifting sand,
especially in the hot summer. so the seve-
raj thousand men who had made up their
minds and prepared themselves TO follow
"Peg-Leg' Smith to his treasure find.
no matter what the hazard of death
from starvation and thirst In crossing
the awful desert, were forced 10 await
the next appearance OF the OLD 1eliOW
In public. From the time that "Peg-
Leg" and his companions set out from
San Bernardino absolutely nothing has
ever been heard from the prospector.
Several years later the dried and mummy

wagon and mining tools were found over

From that time TO this there have
been periodical reports of the finding OF
the mine that Smith told about. The
California newspapers have almost an
nually had items and stories concerning
the most recently reported discovery OF
the Peg-Leg mines. But the reputed
treasure Is still awaiting the man who
will disclose II. Hundreds OF men have
risked their existence and suffered long
and severe pain in hunting for the lodges.
A score OF men have laid down their
lives in the desert and among the noun

described would surely yield. Only
