FIN ANCIAL.
Leather Prafe[[ed.

Did you ever think of the SINH
larity of this stock and COrdage.
We are preparing some figures
to show you how much they re-
senble each other.
The present market value of
sugar common is about forty
millions. This stock has paid II
per cent. dividends for years and
is likely to do SO for some time.
Leather preferred at 81 means
about forty millions for the
whole issue.
Does anybody think for a mo-
ment it can be of equal value
with sugar? There is a large is
sue of bonds coming ahead OF
the stock, dividends are seldom
paid, and while the price can be
marked up by the few who own
it, anyone who buys ought to
have guardian appointed for
them. The stock has now been
advanced 20 points - thirteen
millions of dollars. Does anyone
think the assets of the company
have really enhanced so much in
a few weeks? We will tell you
more about it later.

SUGAR WAS WEAK.
But with That Exception.the Mar
ket Was Firm.

New York. Oct. 81, The bullisb senti.
mert ran high at the stock exchange this
morning. The factors at work continue
to be the great strength OF wheat, the rush
OF the cereal to market and the prospec-
ti-e enormous importauons OF gold. The
feeling Of confidence in higher prices for
securities is 50 strong that little heed is
being paid TO unfayorabie Developments
such as the advance in posted rates of
sterling exchange OF IL cent to 4sl and
4s4 1-2, and the certainty that the Bank
of England will raise its discount rate
tomorrow
owing to firmness of sterling exchange
and reaction in wheat the room traders
at the stock exchange turned bearish after
IL o'clock under sales, for their account
prices receded / a to l 5-S per cent.
Tobacco, Sugar, Chicago Gas, the grang.
ers and Western Union Were most promi-
nent in the reaction. Atmidday the market
was rather weak in tone.

DISCHARGE OF SUMMERS.
Coroner's Jury Did Not Find He XII
ed James Brown.

An inquest was held at noon today in the
suuadroom Of the Sixth precinct station
house by Coroner Hamnett and a jury in the
case of James Brown, colored, who died at
his home, near the corner OF Fifteenth and
X streets southeast. Monday night, from
injuries received in a mysterious manner Gn
Saturday night.
A novel and unusual feature OF the in
quest was the fact that one OF the news
paper reporters who reported the hearing
was summoned as coroner's juryrnan and
acted as such.
The Jury found that James Brown died
about O'Clock p IN. Monday. October 1S,

a MISREPRESENTATION.

Mrs. Cadwalader brought attention to
the misuse of the term legally appoint
ed missionary, and read an advertisement
In which one man, said TO be Of Washing
ton, Ii al announced without authority that
| he was tile legal representative of the n.
| :. a, and she advocated the preparation
OF a digest of all laws against such mis-
appropriation of authority, and said those
| VINO violated the statutes should be pun
| lshed.
II is no use, she said to provide for the
protection of mediums so long as persons
| are permitted to use the association as
| cloak for private gain. Nor is 1t of any
| use to say that mediums are not fortune
tellers, So long as fortune tellcrS pose as
| mediums.
She referred to the laws in a large nurn-
| ber of States, under which mediums are
| punishable as fortune-tellers, and 1t was
her earnest hope that the association at
| this session Will take further steps for the
| separation of mediums, in the public csti-
nation from the class known as fortune
! teilers, whose calling is condemned.by law.
The report was referred to the committee
| on resolutions.
Dr. G b. G. Ewell, of Denver, announced
| that valuable literature in the shape Of the
original constitution and bylaws OF spiritu-
alism would be presented by Mrs. Henry j.
| Newton.
Mrs. Richardson then made her report
| of the mass meeting held in New YORK.
| She said New York had been in lethargy,
| so far as spiritualism is concerned. The
pres ident Of the association in that city
was forgotten The finances there were
| in Il bad condition. and consequently, moth
ing but the able work of the secretary was
| promise ed. However, a subsc nptior oS
500 Was received from Mrs. PettiDgtll,
and thus those in charge had more en-
couraGement.
Sueaking of how the press treated the con-
venIion, the speaker, after ccmplimenting
| the papers for free advertising given them,
! said q vast amount tofcartooninG was throw
| in by the New York papers, But, she said,
| the members of the convention didn't mind
| that, because the papers nowadays cartoon
from the pope down.
She reported that spiritualism in New
| York is now in a flourishing condition.
| Many thousands of circulars about spiritual
ism were distributed throughout New York
She then submitted the financial report:
The president appointed W. II. Bach as
| reading clerk.
A letter was read from ]. ]. Morse, OF
London, England, which gave an account
| of the work of spiritualism being done in
England
The letter states that spiritualism is
being most vigorously pushed, and the
order is gaining many new members.
There are 191 organizations In active
,,-,rl,ipg order Sixty-four of these are
affiliated with the national confederation.
! Mrs. Richardson moved to indorse the
sentiments expressed in the letter, which
was unanimously carried.
The next letter read was from Ernest
s. Green, of California. who sent hie
greetings TO the convention.
