What the Yankee Soldier Did to Make
Good His Escape.
The Star writer had been invited by
the old soldier to put up the funds tc
liquidate his larnyx with lager and the
invitation had been accepted, and the
Star man joined the old soldier at a
table in the corner.

A LADY who has just returned from
d visit to the Atlanta exposition says
that she made detour en- route fer the
sake of visiting quaint southern
Georgia village which has been recon-
mended to her as Il survival, in all es-
sentals of life "befo' de wah." Here
she had the delightful experience of
hearing, in colored church, one of the
real old-time plantation preachers,
leading a prayer meeting and exhor-
ing in the style familiar to most of us
less favored ones only through the
stories Of Thomas Nelson Page and
Richard Malcolm johnson. This negro
preacher, among many funny things,
said, in speaking of the freedom of
salvation: ut was sent to cherry man;
to the white man, and the black man,
and the yellow man, and the blue man,
and the green man, and SO on, as long
us his vocabulary OF colors held out.

NEW YORK STOCKS.

by number Of vague funforss OF a buifish

more recently by reports of impending

concerns opposed to the American Tobacco
company, the decline today caused only Ian

cent. 80
The publication OF the statement Of aver
ages of the associated banks, however, gave
the entire market chill, although the selling
ly for short account. The loss shown in the
legal reserve of So, 6S3, 100 and other unfavor-
able items reflected the activity eof money in
the crop movement and to less extent the
timidity in some quarters regarding the i'm
mediate financial outlook. The early improve
meHts were lost and the market closed weak
at unimportant net changes.
The market Adtfring the week displayed con-
siderable irregufarfty chiefly on professional
operations. The course of prices reflected
successive alternates movements. A notable
reason for the light sales of actual stocks was
the publication. of the foreign trade state
ment for September showing g. marked bal
aRce in favor Of this country. Money on call
touched 10 per- cent with the bulk of loans
however. slightly above the legal per cent
rate. In some instances short time money
loaned at 10 per cent. An upward movement
in the stock market was eventually checked
by the monetary stringency and by reports
Of the suspension of several financial fnstftu-
tons at the interior. The aggregate sales
were SS5. 5l6 shares for the week. 4sssssz--ssss

THAT BANK STATEMENT.
There Are Features That Are Not
ON the Surface

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE New York FL
nancer says of the bank statement. 1t is
complicated by conditions which do not an
pear on the surface. The banks lost to the
interior something like s2,G00,0c0 and the only
offset was the increase Of specie as shown In
that item. But all the gold received during
the week did not figure in the statement
And this fact, together with the assurance
that imports are bound to continue in heavy
volume rather favor the idea that the money
market will not exhibit that degree Of strin-
gency which superficial study Of the state
ment might indicate. The discrepancy be-
tween the total loss Of cash and the amount
which went into the interior Is large. and the
only way to account for it is that large loans
were made for gold importing purposes. The
open premium ruling gold indicates that
there must be q demand for 1t and there
Is doubtless some boarding, but the current
