Dealings in Chicago Gas Completely Dom
 inated Yesterdays Stock Market.

iHstttu GtUNN NhTlNot.
 New York, Oct. 7.-The sum and sub stance of to-days market may be eX- plained with the words Chicago Gas" The announcement that the companies outside of the consolidation had been sold to a syndicate representing gas interests powerful in many other large cities caused slump at the opening of over three points within the first few minutes of trading. A block of 5000 shares was the initial sale, prices rang ing from 96 to 95 and the first of these was the highest of the day.
 The stock sold at one time as low. as 92as, the pressure of long stock being augmented by vigorous efforts of the bears. Large blocks of the stock were sold short in the interest of the bear clique, with the design of effecting a sympathetic decline of the general mar ket, The total sales were over 100000 shares Before the termination of the first hour, however, the shorts were NoNSlliS heioliiyJ etHu iiieily Slo|ho, tHS high-priced industrials being conspicu- ous rose point or over.
 The market declined again under re- newed pressure on Chicago Gas, and for the balance of the day fell into a condition or almost total apathy. The available offerings of stocks at the low level were apparently exhausted but it was equally apparent that buyers were not ready to bid up prices to q point that would invite sales in any quantity.
 The announcement that $1,000,000 more of gold had been engaged for import from London was without apparent eff feet on any of the markets.
 London was a buyer to q small ex- tent on balance. Net changes are very narrow in almost all cases, and are dis tributed between gains and losses. New 1 York, Chicago and St. Louis second preferred declined 314. Tobacco rose over a point, as did Pittsburg, Colum- 1 bus, Cincinnati and St. Louis, and Met ropolitan Traction gained point. | The changes in the prices of bonds were slight, and the volume of deal l ings was small. The total sales aggre- gated $1,20O0O0.

VARIAN PROCEEDS.

This instruction on the part of coun-
sci didn't seem to worry Mr.. Varian in
the least. He waded into the subject
without waiting for time or asking
anything preliminary.
You state in your complaint, Miss
Wray, that on the night of the LIST of
May, 1896, Mr.. Kearns came to your
room in the Cullen hotel; is that a
fact?'
Witness looked at her counsel and her
counsel nodded an approval of a mega
tive character. This may sound para
doxical. but it was just as il happened.
Counsel also smiled in a knowing man
ner. She took courage from the smile
and replied.

MISS wRAY SWORN.

Pending further preliminaries the
witness was sworn. Mr.. Sommer then
rose and remarked that as counsel for
Miss Wray, or Mrs. Hobbs, as the stu
alton shall be Droyen-(he said Miss
Wray). He would admit that this was
her and her baby; that she was a resi-
dent of this county, although as to the
baby's citizenship ''deponeth sayeth
not to use legal expression.
Mr.. Costigan inserted a few words
at this point, advising the witness to
refuse to answer all questions, on the
ground that her answers might tend to
incriminate her.

LETTERS TO MlppLEsuRY PEOPLE,

MRS. j. w. STEWART. Middlebury, Vt.
Madam We want your soap trade ;
to get it we offer you the highest priced
laundry soap on the market-instead of
the lowest-because highest is cheaper
than lowest; you'll use less of it and 1t
won't rot the clothes.
We do not entlce you with lower prices
nor prizes; we would gain your custom
with higher qualltles-mildnes and du-
rability. We do not presume to instruct
you as to what you want; we simply
say that If you want the most economi-
cal soap it is possible to make, we make
1t.
If you want the cheapest soap to use
not the cheapest in price, but the cheap
est to use-we make 1t. We are not try
ing to see how much we can give you
for little money. You car get lumber
and clothing at any price, but not oak at
the price of hemlock nor silk at the price
of cotton. Soap which has the durabil-
ity of oak and that don't rot clothes can
not be sold 6, I, s, or 10 cakes for a
quarter. If Harmless soap cost less
than Sc. ID. it would not be mild, nor
would it be durable.
We guarantee one bar (Sc.) to out
wash two sc. cakes. If you say it
doesn't your grocer will give you back
&c. on each bar.
Yours truly,
G. II. POST & Co.,
Newburgh, n. Y.
