What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The recovery in
prices which began yesterday was contin-
ued today during the early part of the ses-
sion of the stock exchange and the advance
in prices of all stocks was apparently in
full force again until this afternoon, when
the support seemed to be withdrawn from
the market and prices fell away to gem
eral level below last nights close. The ad-
vance was stimulated by the report of a
total import with yesterdays engagement
of $2 300, 900 in gold, due to arrive. Receipts
of gold imported from San Francisco as
arriving there from Australia helped the
recovery. The action of the Bank of Eng
land in advancing its rate of discount "
to 21a per cent was anticipated in view of
the continued depletion of its gold hold
ings and the additional strain of yester-
days withdrawal for shipment ITO this
country. Yesterdays rise in prices had
stimulated the placing of some outside or
ders with commission houses and their ex-
pectation was the deciding factor during
the forenoon. The strength of Sugar,
which rose nearly four points on the re-
ported intention of the treasury deparr-
ment to apply the. .countervailing duty on
Dutch refined sugars" helped along the
rise. There was support afforded the mar
ket all through by heavy buying Of some Of
the bull operators who have been con-
spicuous In the recent rise. The effect of the
gold import movement was largely dissi-
pated during the day by skepticism as
to its natural character. The exchange
bankers who usually handle the move-
ment of gold. both import and export.
were unanimously of the opinion that the
ruling rate of sterling and continental ex-
change here and of gold in London and
Paris there was no profit In the importa-
ton of gold and the figures of most of them
would indicate quite heavy loss on the
operation. Much curiosity was expressed
as to the identity of the clients for whom
the banks are making the importation and
the opinion was quite freely expressed that
the operation was designed entirely to in
fiuence the price of stocks. The failure
of the exchange market to harden under
the announcement was quite Iuticeable
Equally so was the continued f1rmness of
rates for call money, which became pretty
we'll established on the basis Of per cent
AS these conditions became more clearly
defined the upward movement of prices
became checked and there were periods Of
dullness followed by a steady decline to
the close, the upward course Of the morn
ing being almost exactly retraced In the
afternoon, so that the net changes for the
day only exceeded fraction in small
number of cases. The advance of the morn
ing ranged from one to two points in
nearly all Of the active shares. The losses,
which were numerous, were confined to
fractions except in few cases. Rumors
were disseminated late in the day that
further engagements of gold for import
had been made, but exercised no influence
on the market

Southern California carnivals

The suggestion made in the local COL

Southern California carnivals, of suffi-
ciently gigantic character to make them
worth coming across the continent to
see, is certainly q good one; but 1t is
also a big one. An enterprise Of that
kind would necessarily involve great
preparations, siderable expense. and,
what is still more necessary, unity of
action on the part Of all Southern Cali.

Reflections Of a Bachelor

The first duty of man Is to marry wo-
man and be served by her forever.
A girl never visits another one but she
comes home with a new way to fix her
hair.
When girl Is in love with man she
will never believe that he isn't distin-
guished looking.
Eve would probably have been awful
ly unhappy all the rest OF her life If she
had ever heard of church wedding.
AS long as man has an idea that he
can get away whenever he wants to,
a girl has him just where she wants him.

Inclined to~weakness on account of rather
sharp decline at Paris, but the higher quo
tations from the Liverpool market caused
the Chicago market to turn strong at once.
December, which closed yesterday at 92h
cents opened today at from 9212 to 921s.
Shorts started for cover, but ran up against
a snag in the shape of scarcity of offer
ings, the price being hoisted to 93A before
any wheat of consequence came on the
market. The northwest receipts were
again heavy and that caused holders to ex-
ercise caution, so that when the prices had
risen TO 93ss plenty of wheat showing a
profit was unloaded Chicago receipts were
239 cars, only thirty-three of which were
contract. The quantity inspected out of
store was 911S5 bushels. The previously
exploded rumor that Russia intended pro-
hbiting the export of wheat was revived
again about the time the closing price was
reached. showing complete recovery from
the early decline. This sent December
skyward again, the price climbing with
hardly halt to 1884, At that price big
trade was done, large quantities of wheat
being dumped on the market. The offer
ings were readily absorbed for a time,
but in the end the weight proved greater
than the market could bear, the price be-
coming quite weak when explicit denials
of Russian reports were received. A no.
ticeable feature during the advance was
the refusal of May to respond except in
an extremely unwilling and backward fash
ion. When December was readily bringing
9SA May delivery barely touched 917s. and
house with close Liverpool connections
said they had liberal selling orders from
the latter place for May delivery. Export
clearances of wheat and flour from Allan
tic ports were equal to 4O,0OO bushels. The
receipts for the day at the four principal
outside winter wheat markets-Kansas
City, St. Louis, Toledo and Detroit-were
only $4,000 bushels out of the total pri-
mary market receipts, which amounted to
1,276.00O bushels. The latest trading in De-
cember was at 92A@92ss
There was a smaller business in corn.
The market averaged firm all forenoon,
starting u higher on light receipts and the
steadiness of Liverpool cables and enjoy
ing good support as long as wheat kept
strong. Toward the end, however, when
wheat commenced to slip, corn followed
very willingly.
Oats were steady up to the last hour of
trading. Then that market struck Slip
perry place, too, and dropped with the rest
of the markets.
The incubus of the yellow fever epidemic
weighed down the provision market. which
ruled heavy all day.
The leading futures closed as foIIows.

European Markets

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
The change in the discount rate of the
Bank of England announced today had no
effect on the stock market, having been
fully anticipated. Indeed, it is believed
that the rate would have been raised to 8
per cent but for the fact that treasury bills
amounting to s2,O00,0O0 are to be issued
next week.
The feature OF the markts today was
the speedy rally of Americans. Prices
closed at the best. Union Pacific and Read
ing were especially strong. Grand Trunk
and Canada Pacific were also good. Mines
were better.
Opinions as to the date of the next ship
ment of gold to New York differ widely.
Everyone is saying that the movement is
entirely exceptional and will probably not
be repeated, but the shrewd ones prefer
to hold their opinions In suspense, pending
the course of the New York market. De-
tails of the gold movement for the, week
show the receipt of 10000 pounds from
Australia, the export of 10000 pounds to
the continent of 5000 to Egypt and 20, 900
to South America, and the sale Of 10000
pounds in bars and eagles. OF this latter
amount about $4,000 pounds was for Russia,
where a considerable industrial revival
Is said to be going on.
The local discount market Is unsettled
by the change In the bank rate. but 1t is
still comparatively easy. The Paris and
Berlin markets were better.
