first to introduce the horse car system,

Besides these there are three steam
lines operating between the heart OF the
city md suburban resorts, two OF
which. Ike the electric lines, operate
from Canal street, the other STARTING
from = downtown point. These are the
New Orleans City and Lake Railway,
which runs to West End. a favorite

the Spanish Fort RAILWAY (now a part
of The East Louisiana Railroad) which
runs to the historical old point OF the
same name. and the third is the Point

burg, another pleasant point on the
lake shore.
The most extensive line In the city IS
the Traction Company. which operates
1876 miles Of roadway ana which is now
being prepared 10 furnish the most
rapid transit in the city. This company.
which represents more than seven
ana a half millions of dollars, operates
nothing but the most improved electric
motor passenger street cars and the
steam line to West End. 1t has hereto
fore experienced considerable difficulty
with It's power plants. but having be-
come convinced that the present plant
is inadequate TO supply power for the
biz system, IL is now preparing larger

New York, Oct. 2l.-General Benjamin
+. Tracy. candidate for mayor; Secre-
tary of the Interior Cornelius n. Bliss
and Governor Frank Black addressed an
audience OF 1900 persons at Republi-
can meeting last night. The speakers
and their speeches were enthusiastically
applauded. This is the first time Secre-
tary Bliss has spoken in the great mu-
nicipal campaign.
General Tracy said: Low won't
come within 100 900 votes OF election.
There are some districts that he will
make a/showing in but there are whole
assembly districts where he cannot poll
500 votes. In this city he cannot get
81 600 votes. and i'm Brooklyn the other
night | conferred with prominent men,
and from the result OF that conference /
learned that IL the election occurred to-
day Mr.. Low could not get so 900 votes:
so what chance is there Of his election?"
Governor Black said: I'm every spot
where the fight is on il is waged on the
lines OF ST. Louis and Chicago. Social
ism. anarchy, junk money and every
wild-eyed hybrid that stared through
she Chicago platform OF yplr ago will
gather In knots next month around the
polling places Of this republic. He who
pretends that anarchy is dangerous only

dishonest only in national elections and
Is willing at other times TO keep them

Market Continues to Show

BULL POINT GIvEN'ON TOBACCO.

The market continued 10 exhibit its renew
ed strength this morning, and, after the slight
declines that immediately followed the open
ing, rallied, and once more became the strong
market that 1t has been for two or three days
past London came a little highor this morn
ing, but the foreigners had orders on both
sides of the market and during the day thoy
bought little Louisville a. Nashville and
Atchison, but they showed disposition 10
sell 81. Paul on every rally. In London this
morning, however the market for Atchison
securities was steady, which meant that the
advances made in New York yesterday had
been duplicated there
There was good buying power displayd in
Wall street today, especially where the low
priced stocks were ooncerr0d Chicago a.
u reat Western, Ontario & Western, Onion
Pacific and Northern Pacific had plenty of
friends who bought quito freely, and II Is
believed that the outlook Is bright for all
these stocks. The advices today are also to
stick to the long side OF Consolidated Cas-
New York Central, Panhandle and the other
giit.edged stocks, as well as TO Burlington
and Louisville, as 1t is believed that the
operator who remains in this position will be
certain to reap large profits. Sugar and
Chicago Gas are excellent trading stocks un-
der the present conditions, and many OF the
best people are buy ing and selling these issues
TO catch the quick turns.
The Gould stocks all displayed good strength
today, and it Is predicted that both Manhat'
tan and Western Union are slated for good
advances. In fact, this is certainly bull
movement that looks as fit was TO be OF more
than ordinary proportions. Today the bears
are powerless just rs the bulls were " week
ago, and the starting OF the movement was
brought about 20 quickly that II would sur
prise no one if prices should be carried higher
than they have yet been.
One New York specialist says today: I'VE
incline TO the belief that Tobacco will sell
much higher. The buying during the past
few days has been particularly significant,
and our information, which emanates from
parties directly interested in the recent suits
brought under tho antitrust laws IL 10 the
effect that the authorities, after mature in
vestigation have come TO the conclusion that
the law does not apply lto the methods OF
the American Tobacco Company. dismissal
of such snits and the knowledge that no more
will ba uundertaken cannot be withou infiu-
ence upon American Tobacco stock
The Chicago market was almost featureless
again this morning. Considerable business
was done. but the changes in prices were
chiefly fractional.
