THE MARKETS.
wni, street Review

New York, Sept. 1.-THE general tone
of the market for stock was strong to-
day and there was no heavy pressure
of realizing sales. But there was more
weakness at the different points scat
tered through the list. The Northern
Pacific isues were heavy on the con-
tnued bad showing of earnings and
some of the roads in the southern group
were unfavorably affected by fear that
the yellow fever quarantine would in
terefere with their traffic. The effect
was noticeable in Louisville, Southern
preferred and Mobile and Ohio. Mis-
souri, Pacific was under more or less
pressure of profit-taking. The coalers
were also weak, the Reading issues
being under pressure to marked de-
gree. The bulk of today's trading was
entered in the granger and X. and
T., and these were strong with tn ex-
ception of Chicago Great Western and
Northwest, which closed at fraction
al decline.
The aggregate sales of stocks to-
day were 23S,705 shares.

GREATER GOTHAM CHURCHES.
Total of I,lI5 Places of Worship with
Seating CAPACITY of75O,OOO.

On and after Jan. I, 1898, Brooklyn,
says the Sun, will cease to hold uuchal-
lenged it's title Of "the City of Church.
es," and the greater New York will sue
ceed to it's supremacy in that respect.
There are $50 churches in New York
city, 4IS in Brooklyn, 81 on Staten
Island, and 81 in the part of Queens
county to be annexed to the greater
New York after Jan. I. Long Island
City included, making a total of Ills
places of worship i'll the Greater New
York.
There are SO Catholic churches in
New York city, rs in Brooklyn, Z on
staten Island and II in Queens county
towns. There are S5 Episcopal church.
es in New York, 54 in Brooklyn, II on
staten Island. and 10 in Queens county,
or at least in that portion of Queens
county included in the Greater New
York. There are 6S Methodist churches
in New York, 20 in Brooklyn, 8 on
Staten Island,and in the Queens coun-
ty towns. There are So Presbyterian
churches in New York, 81 in Brooklyn,
. on Staten Island and 4 in the Queens
county towns. There are SO Baptist
churches in New York, A in Brooklyn,
6 on Staten Island, and in the Queens
county towns. There are 81 Lutheran
churches in New York, Sc in Brooklyn
3 on Staten Island, and in the Queens
county towns. There are II Congrega-
tional churches in New York, 20 in
Brooklyn, and / in Queens county.
1t will be observed that the Metho-
dists, the Lutherans. and the Congre-
gationalists Cthe last decidedly so) have
more churches In Brooklyn than they
have in the city of New York. Rela-
lively there are fewer Catholics and
Episcopalans in Brooklyn than there
are in New York city. There are 81
Jewish synagogues in New York, 16 ir
Brooklyn, and 1 on Staten Island, a
total of II in the greater New York
There are 4 Moravian churches on
Staten Island and Reformed Dutch
churches. The number of Reformed
Dutch churches in New York is 80 an6
in Brooklyn 80, bringing up the tota
in the new city to 81. There are /:
Quaker meeting houses in New York, :
in Brooklyn, and 1 in Flushing. There
are 8 Unitarian churches in New York
There are Universalist churches ir
New York and in Brooklyn.
A total of LIS places of worship in
one city is certainly remarkable wher
it is taken into consideration that the
total population of the new city is g.,
| 100000, or at the rate of one church tc
| every 5000 inhabitants, a very large
proportion in city. The seating ca
| pacity of the greater New Yorl
| churches is in excess of 100000.

ALTRUISM IN ANIMALS.
Some of Them Show Friendly and I'M
selfish Traits.

From the Chicago News.
A French scientist has lately written
an interesting paper on altruism in
animals, arriving at the startling con-
clusion that animals are perhaps bet
ter Christians than men. He says
Animal societies are less polished
but perhaps more humane, all things
being equal, than our own" and gives
several instances of animal species
made use of by another and perform
ing services for the latter without re-
ceiving anything in exchange.
Among others is mentioned the case
of the crocodile and the bird trochilus
on the banks of the Nile. This bird
performs two services for the croco-
dile. 1t enters into it's mouth and dis
patches there the worms and leeches
which trouble the crocodile; it flies
rapidly away, giving vent to peculiar
cry, when the ichneumon the enemy
of the crocodile, approaches, thus ap-
prising its companion of the ichneu-
mons presence In return the croco-
dile shakes its tail whenever it wishes
to close its mouth, thus giving the bird
warning. The crocodile in no wise re-
compenses, but contents itself simply
with respecting the person of the little
animal. The service rendered is
unilateral. But it is easy to under
stand that by the exercise of extremely
little intelligenc, if not unconsciously
tn crocodile may be led to defend its
trechilus.
Sometimes one animal will borrow
the service of another temporarily, as
in the case of the serpent who is fer
red across the river by a duck, or, as
frequently seen, several animals as
sist one another in crossing streams of
water in lifting large stones, in mov-
ing the trunks Of trees, in construct
ing dams, in hunting or in mutual de-
fense. Aphids, who have the power OF
secreting an abdominal fluid of which
ants are passionately fond are kept
by the ants in stables like milch cows
and carefully watched.
