MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.

New York. Oct. THE tendency OF
prices at the Stock Exchange was
downward today. Sugar was most
active stock. figuring for 43,S00 shares,
in a grand total of 1S0,119 shares. The
stock broke from 10 to 107ls and closed
at 1875. Manhattan fell 27s to S9As on
extensive realizations. The losses in
the other prominent stocks ranged from
II to ~ per cent, the Grangers. Louis
vile and Nashville, General Electric,
Metropolitan Traction all participating
in the downward movement. The IA
vorable news of the day, such as the
weakness of the Sterling exchange
market, the engagement Of 100000 gold
in London for shipment to New York,
and the prospect of an early settle
ment of the rate war in the south were
either ignored or overlooked by the
traders, who for the moment are ar
rayed almost to man on the short
side of the account. Speculation closed
weak in tone. Net changes show losses
of A@1ss per cent.

Other Contests Of the Day.

Annapolis. Oct. THE University OF
Pennsylvania defeated the Cadets OF
the Naval Academy this afternoon at
foot ball by the score of to 0. The
cadets played a sharp. snappy game,
full of good pluck and succeeded by
their dash in keeping the ball in Penn
sylvanias territory fully half the time
While the cadets advanced the ball, the
Quaker's goal was never seriously
threateped.
The game put up by Pennsylvania
was the poorest they have played this
year. Their game lacked dash. Again
and again the Cadets rushers We're
through on Minds before he got the ball
to kick. Pennsylvania scored two
touch downs in the first half. from
which Woodruff failed to kick goals
and in the second half never got the
ball nearer than the Cadets 20 yard
line.

PRINCETON-EAsTON GAME.

Easton, Pa. Oct. 7.-Although the
foot ball enthusiasts of this vicinity
were rather sanguine Of the showing
the Lafayette team would put up
against the Princeton tigers, in this
city today, there was no one who eX-
pected that the game would result as
it did with the score nothing to nothing.
The ball was in Lafayette's territory
most of the time, but Princeton failed
to get it past that desirable point-the
goal line. Lafayette won the toss and
Princeton started with kickoff. The
largest gain was made by Wallbridge,
of Lafayette, who took advantage of a
fake" kick to run 30 yards with the
ball. In the second half Holt was sub
stituted for Edwards, and Kelly, hav-
ing been injured, retired, Wheeler TAX
ing his place. The nearest the team
came to scoring was just before time
was called, when Princeton had the
ball on Lafayette's 10 yard line, but
they lost it on four downs. The ball
was in Lafayette's hands when time
was called. The teams lined up as fol-
lows:

BROWN FAILED TO SCORE.
New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 7.-Brown
failed to score in the foot ball match at
Yale fields this afternoon. The home
eleven put in magnificent team. Rodg-
ers scored after five minutes play, TAX
ing the bali over from the five yards
line where Benjamin had landed it on
q 80 yards run. After Hickeys put out
of bounds had been caught on Yales 3S
yard line. Murphy worked the criss-
cross. Yale was deceived and Fultz
was downed only at Yale's five yard
line. Here Yale's strongest form of the
game was shown. The Brown eleven
made four plunges against Yale's CEN
ter but failed, and in despair gave up
the ball. Hickey punted back to the
middle Of the goal. The half closed
with the ball six inches from Browns
goal. In the second half Rodgers scored
again, after five minutes play, Yale
taking the ball the entire length of the
field without giving it up. The same
thing was done in six minutes more
play, this time Van Every making the
touchdown. The line up is:

Mexico as a Corn Country.

Ed Lite made speech up at Min
neapolis the other day in which he
said that Mexico is one of the chief
corn-producing countries Of the world,
vet corn sells there for $l.60 a bushel.
Whether he did not know better or
was trying to deceive the people is
not an open question. He knew bet
ter. Mexico is not corn-prodncing
country. 1t is not in the corn belt.
Last year there was not enough raised
to supply the wants Of Mexicans and
special decree from the federal gov
eminent scaled the tariff on foreign
corn 80 per cent pending the next
harvest to relieve the suilerings of
poorer classes. There were 342,672
bushels of corn exported from the
United States to Mexico in the first 10
months Of '95. These facts are from
latest United States consular reports.
The fact that Mexico buys corn
from us is what makes that crop SO
expensive when paid in silver. The
law that is inevitable that all import
ed goods must be paid for in gold has
put corn out of the reach of the COM
mon people and they 60 without.
Mexico does not even rank with the
second class countries as a producing
nation and IL is about time that that
piece Of demagogism be laid on the
shelf by our Pop friends.
