A GUARANTEE OF PEACE.

Paris. Oct. 15.-President Faure was
banquetted last evening in commemora-
ticn Of his recent visit 20 Russia, by the
merchants and manufacturers OF France,
OF whom there were about $50 present.
Among other things the president said;
LET me tell you how deep was my
emotion when Paris declared the patri-
otc satisfaction which the entire nation
felt at the consequence OF the words ex-
changed between the emperor and its
president. i repeat, in order TO place the
country face 10 face with it's response

and political spirit that the democracy is

In THE WORLD
OF FINANCE.
Stock and Grain Markets
Are Depressed.
MOVEMENT OF THE BEARS
Operators Are Looking For Higher
Prices, However.
EARNINGS OF THE RAILWAYS.

There are very few Of the operators who
know what TO do with tins market, but the
general advices from Wall street are some
thing like this: Stocks weak. Whoat down
8.s TO rs. Cotton declines 5aS points. Money
steady. The stock market shows little good
buying or selling. We'll brokers wero the
most active and yesterday was given up to
attempts 10 reach stop orders Several stocks
touched lower figure than the lowest OF
Wednesday. Speculation was most active IN
Gas and Sugar. bat neither touched the low
est price. We'll sold Burlington at W. st.
Paul touched 92, with no stop orders in sight.
The attempt was more successful in Western
Union and Rock Island, and the bears say
they will now attack Manhattan. London
sold 10000 shares yesterday and the stand
ard Oil people hold fully 5000, but gave the
market a little support around the bottom
Every~ where rhe conviction Is growing that
the average OF the list has seen the lowest
prices for the present"
This in brief is the advice OF Wall street
commission houses. They still MAINTAIN that
people who trade for l on 2 per cent prohts
and who do not expect TO make fortunes
either on the long the short sid" OF the
market, ON every venture they undertake
will have no cause to complain OF the facl1'
ties that will be afforded them 10 trade dur
ing the next two or three weeks. This means
of course. that the market is not in position
10 enjoy al immediate bull movement As
the conditions are all favorable this must
come later. but in the meantime operators
vii. havo 10 content themselves with
traders market
A specialist in railroad earnings states to-
day that Burlington for September will show
n gross increase OF over $500, 90 and n net in
crease Of nearly half as much. While tho
grain movement has fallen on n little, so far
rs -. Paul is concerned, the transportation
or general merchandise Is still large enough
so keep up the earning power OF the road.
Rock Island for October will make as good n
showing as was made during the month OF
September. and all the Southern roads with
the exception of Louisville a Nashville.

all the lndustrials, are shown TO be in most
favorable &C n lition. As these are the facts
there Is no valid reason why stocks shorld
be sold and II VIII not be long before this
professional bear movement will have been
overdone. Then must follow the substantial
rail-, that has 30 long been anticipated
The Chicago market was irregular again
today, and some OF the prices that were
touched this morning were lower than any

The death rate for January and Feb
ruary of this year is Is per cent greater
than during the corresponding period
in 1896. Last year the rate was re-
markably low. The increase is con-
fined almost entirely to deaths result
ing from pulmonary diseases, the per-
centage Of increase being over 200 per
cent. Health Officer S. L. Jepson stat
ed to a Register reporter yesterday that
in his opinion the primary cause Of so
many deaths from lung diseases was
the prevailing grip influence. The san
itary condition of the city had nothing
whatever to do with it, nor is it likely
that the weather was responsible as it
has been an average winter in this re-
spect. The same condition of affairs is
reported from other cities throughout
the country, showing an epidemic of
grip.
A comparison of the mortality re-
ports for January and February, with
the same months last year, shows some
interesting facts. In January 1896,
deaths from all causes were 81; Janu-
airy, 1897, So; February, 1896, 45; Feb
ruary, 1897, 6S. This shows an in
crease of rs per cent this year over
last, and in January il was more than
doubled 1t is a fact worthy of men
ton that an unusually large number Of
aged persons have died during this
year. The Health Officers records
show that in the months of January
and February, 1896 the number of
deaths of persons over 60 years Of age
was 20; same months this year, 81.
This last number includes some of the
Oldest and most prominent citizens.
In 1896 the number Of deaths in the
two months from lung diseases was Is;
this year 5S. There were no deaths
from asthma in the former period, and
four this year. Consumption claimed
6 victims in 1896, and IA this year.
Last year there were s deaths from
pneumonia in the two months; in Jan
uary Of this year there were s, and in
February %; bronchitis, 1896, 4; 1897,
10.
DR.. Jepson states that there has been
a marked improvement in the present
month. Thus far only single death,
due to natural causes has, been report
ed. and that was a person SO years OF
age. There were two or three deaths,
however, from accidents.
