A Most Interesting Session.
Washington Camp No. II, p. o.
s. OF A. held one of the most inter
esting sessions Thursday evening,
known in its history. One cindi-
date was inflated into the myster-
les Of the order. Bro. Jas. Cram.
blet of Camp 10, Union Furnace,
was with us and reports their camp
in prosperous condition.
Since Jan. /, 1896, our team has
been kept very busy, having initi-
ated 8 candidates, and reinstated
one, with prospects for the future
most encouraging. Business be-
fore pleasure, yes, that was what
we did, but after we had attended
to business we were all treated to
an agreeable surprise. A banquet
table loaded with every thing that
was good was spread and much
enjoyed by all present.
NOTES.
Is Bro. Bush still eating?
Bro. Kelley, in the absence of n
fork at his place, used what he
terms Geo. Washington's forks, his
fingers, with amazing rapidity. 1t
is a cold day when he does not get
in his hooks.

raE COTTON AND CRAZE MARKET.

Mason, in his letter 10 c. Franklin Nueent

was essentially weak. It's fluctuations were
very discouraging 10 buying except for a
quick turn. sharp break would induce
healthy speculation, but, as II is. the fuctua-
tions tend 10 keep the short interest small,
although II Is undoubtedly increasing" This
in few words IL the condition of the market.
While there fluctuations, they are within
narrow range and traders are more inclined
10 sell ON the bulges than Ia buy on the
breaks.
The Becrbohm cables this morning stste
that the London opening ON cargoes ON pas
sage for wheat and corn was weak in l. ver-
pool wheat WIS steady and but farthing

lin wheat was dull and tribe lower.
Liverpool wheat cl sed steady and II
higher for the day. The adyices at present
are very conflicting, rs some of the prcdic-
tions are 20 lcok out for big break, while
others advise spectators that the turn'on the
market has come and that IL is time TO come
I'm On the long side. However this m,y bo,
the'e is no doubt but that wheat has had
stronger appearance today.
Liverpool cotton opened cuiet and steady

IN THE
%&$%.S

Tho market today IL another one OF the
erratic affairs that battles successful specula-
tion. IL is entirely prof ssional in its charac-
ter and il so narrow that few of the prophets
dare TO predict its movements. IL IL generally
believed, however, that stocks will rot decline
much before q moderate advance will be
made
The special to Sullivan, Ril v e. Go. this
morning stated that the market for American
securities was dull, with practically no orders
10 New York houses for London acc unit.
Yesterday the European markets were not
demoralized as those on ;llis side. and ,fo
decline this morning was not as great as has
been anticipated and, in the face of all breaks
in values, there are still more buying orders
than selling orders on hand.
Joseph says this morning: 1.-The general
market Is oversold. Buy Manhattan Tie
short interest i'm this stock is large and when
il begins TO cover il viii find very little stock
Offering. Sugar will have a rally of couple
Of points and the bears on Consolidated Gas
i'll burn their paws presently"
All the gossip that comes over the wires
these dull days, however, is Of n bcarish
character. Traders are told of national bank
suspens ons all over the country, and the rail
road earnings are offered as evidence that
everything Is going To the bow-wows. IL is
true that the reports that have been received
are not particularly encouraging. those that
came today show tat Chesapeake X Ohio
shows decrease of si4,069 AM Ontario a.
Western n decreasse of sl2,2t3 for the first
week Of December. The net decrease Of llli
nois Central is stated 10 be s2l2,372, while
Missouri Pacfc's break was merely TO dis
count the statement made today. that tho
gross decrease since January /, 1895, has bccn
no less than s1I, 600. In spite of this, how
ever, conservative ira ers are not selling the
market TO any great extent, for they well
klow that in these days Of manipulation
decrease in railroad earnings often fails TO
effect securities in the manner that calm
common sense would anticipate.
Every one is talking bullish for Louisville
today, aad rumors OF a per cent. dividend
that will take the stock TO 90 and keep ii there
are freely circulated. While the road is in a
good condition and "a valuable property, IL
should be remembered that the dividend is an
open question and that the directors are not
sIyiGg anything about such an action in Jan
uary.
Wortley, in his advices 20 Wee len, Kendall
g. Go. today, says that the weakness in Read
ing is entirely due TO the threatened attacks
by the torncy general Of Pennsylvania on
the company's charter. He also SAYS: There
is still fairly good buying in the market OH
declines, but the buying orders are not large.
II looks a. il some of the most impor ant i'm.
tercsts were content 10 buy stocks moderately
on decline, but we're not disposed t. bull the
market. In fact, general opinion seems To be
that no marked advance will take place until
a. A ~
closed and until the improvement in business
has be n reflected in the railroad earnings.
Tnis will not occur until the New Year"

A VILE SHOW.
Mr.. BiCknell Made Com
plaint Against 1t.
Police Investigated but Did
Not Not Close II Up.
Located on North Main Street and
Permit Had Been Granted.

Secretary Bicknell OF tho Municipal
League complained to the chief Of police,
and notified Alderman Nichols and
Councilman Sisson OF ten cent show on
North Main street, for which a license
was granted by the Board of Aldermen
upon accommodation of Chief Baker.
A NEWS reporter vi'ited the "show"
snd found an exhibition Of vulgsrity and
indecency that fully justified the re-
monstrsncs from Secretary B:ckDell. Ii
Is called the "Museum OF Ans,omy" and
behind tire screen bearing this high
sounding legend Is a collection OF fill hi
ness In wax. Ihs show IL neither inter-
esting, instructive nor amusing. Ii is
simply vile and nauseaiing, and under
pretenae OF teaching something about
anatomy there 10 an attempt to pandar
to what Is lowest in any one who may
be ceIrded into expending dime.
In spite Of the complaint made, how
over, Chief Baker did not order the place
closed. He says that none but men are
admitted and that similar exhibitions
have heretofore teen given without in.
terferencs on the part Of tne police.
Those who sought the closing of tho
show, say that while the managers OF it
may not be directly breaking any law, city
or State, they are certainly Offending
agai st good taste and decency.
The hcense for the show Will expire to-
night and this afternoon tho manager
made an application for q renewal. Chief
Baker says that he will not recommend
the granting OF this renewal.
