NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Dec. S.--The stock market
to-day was to II considerable extent per-
functory. DEALINGS were materially
lighter than for IL long time past, and
the professionals, while inclined to the
bear side, displayed IL facilitating temper.
The result WAS poorly distributed and
irregular speculation within Il narrow
range. Dealings for foreign account,
while moderate III volume, were mainly
for the long account, the Presidential
message apparently Being favorably re-
ceived in London. The local traders.
however, made their usual attacks upon
the specialties for effect upon prices gem
orally. The results achieved, however,
barely justified even che moderate energy
expended, owing to the continued disin-
clination of stock to part with their
property. The closing was steady with
the net changes generally net losses.
The railway bond market exhibited r-
regularity, especially in the usually neg
lected issues, which were widely dealt in,
but the trend of prices was downward
The losses i'll the active bonds were un-

BROWNS FOOTBALL TEAM.

The material out of which the Brown
University football eleven Of 'e6 is to be
developed is being gathered together by
Caftein Everett Colby as fast as the men
arrive at college, and in short lime
| some definite idea as TO the line up and
| strength of the team can be preoicted.
| At present, however, the sqund OF candi-
dates are only being worked for speed
and wind, and no attention Is being paid
TO the coaching OF the men for individu-
al po itions. That work will not be begun
Till all Of the men are on the gridi'on
and some sort OF syse EN- and order Is
brought out Of the existing chaos.
Among the most promising OF the
freshmen are sca 1neIl. tackls and guard

Anderson and Gaskiil, an END and half
back of the Worcester Academy team;
Myrick, a l95-pound Andoycr guard, and
Albertson CT tho " orcester High School.

years. Varsity, Caace and Murphy will
probably rep,hin fixtures on the ends;
Locke. the subsrituIe tscxlc, will try for
MOTIFS old place, while Wheeler will

are, to say the lcts', miriy bright.
The question OF a centre rush is vexa-

The announcement by the National Cy-
Gle board of trade that the opening of ap-
plications for space In theannuni cycle cx-
hbition Will takc place Sept. 10 has stirred
up the interest of manufacturers and OF
tho cycling world generally. Tho exhibit
tion will bo held at the Grand Ceatral Pal
nco of Industry, Forty-third street and Lex
ington avenue, New York city, during the
week commencing Feb. 8, 1897. Although
this date is somewhat distant, 1t must be
remembered that good deal OF time will
be required for the preparation OF the dis
plays that arc projected.
The bracing fall weather has increased
the popularity Of the long cycling tour.
Men and women who reside in cities derive
the greatest benefit from these journeys

with their wives, and often their families,
thus easily and swiftly transport them
