STOCK AND PRODUCE MARKETS

Bears Made a Successful Raid, but
Prices Afterward Hardened.
New York, Oct. 13.-Todays stock mar
ket almost reversed the course traversed
in yesterdays market without any change
in the character of the outlook or the
news. The bears made further very
successful raid during the day and found
numerous weak spots, the decline in some
stocks uncovering further stop loss orders
and spreading decentralization far and
wide through the list. But the agrees
sive mood of the bears disappeared dur
ing the afternoon and the latter part of
the day saw steady hardening of prices,
which carried the level of the market
quite materially above last nights close.

Dress Goods
Leadership
THIS dress goods
business has not
a close second in

America, and certainly no foreign
store carries equal stocks. That is
natural, though; for the modistes
carry many goods abroad and make
their patrons pay roundly. A large
slice of our business is with the
modistes in America. And many
of them have candidly told US that
it is largely to their advantage to
buy here, rather than 60 abroad
for styles sake and for proper
economy.

81 see that Washington has run out the
trading stamp people, following the ex-
ample of many other cities Of the United
States in showing the illegality Of the
gift enterprise" said Mr.. George w. Van
denburg, a commercial man OF Detroit
Mich. last night at the National. In
Detroit now we have kept hands Off so
far. and let the two opposing trading
stamp concerns fight ii out among them
selves. This they are doing to the
Queens taste, at a rate that forebodes
dire results. One trading stamp company
came to the city, and was doing flour
ishing business. Its success was so
great that another company soon entered
the field, and then the war began. The
second company began buying up the I'LL
ed books of the older concern at "a apiece
The stamp collectors preferred the ready
cash to the cheap premiums, and sold
their books in stacks. The books were soon
offered at cut rates, and a large number
were sold as low as 81. Just what the
company intends doing with all OF the
opposition books and stamps is not
known. In San Francisco strict mea-
sures have been taken against the stamp
people, and a maximum fine OF 500 has
been fixed for any one attempting 10

We are gled to learn that Jackson, the
British Arctic explorer, has determined
not to trespass upon the Eskimo, griz-
ely bear. snow ice hummock, aurora
borealis. or any other Arctic preserves
of Lieutenant Peary. Jackson's original
plans for exploration IN the Greenland
neighborhood were identical with those
OF Peary, but since hearing the latter's
lecture, the Englishman has mapped out
a new course, considering that the Ameri-
can has prior claims. He now proposes
to proceed via Davis Straits and Baffin's
bay up the west coast TO Ellsmere Land
and Grlnnell Land, and thence across
to the farthest point reached by Aldrich
in 1876, whence he will push north.
making in the direction of any land visi-
bic from the coast.
Jackson's announcement that he and
Peary will divide the Arctic spoils and
glory on geographical lines, after the man
ner of the Foraker Hanna division of the
spoils in Ohio ought TO be great re-
lief to the country. Had Jackson con-
cluded TO persist in his original plan,
there is no telling what international
complications and outbursts of jingoism
would have eventuated.

THE CLUBBING OF A CLUB.

The Hon. Richard Croker has become
very much dissatisfied with the Manhat-
tan Club, of New York.
Though that rather stylish organization
is understood to be Democratic in poll
tics, Mr.. Croker has found out that in
its membership are very large number
Of Democratic Mugwumps"-men who
would not support Judge Van Wyck at
the last election. Mr.. Croker has, there
fore. determined to do all he can to build
up the Democratic Club
This undstinguished club is to be
honored as the headquarters of Croker,
and it's home building is to be enlarged
by the addition of thirty rooms. More
over, it's membership is to be raised to
1000. Many of these members will come
from the Manhattan Club and that or
ganization will, in consequence, suffer
considerably from Mr.. Cookers hostility.
We take it that his view is that the
Manhattan ought really to be thorough
paced, out-and-out Democratic club, or
else make no pretension at all to party
affiliatiOn.

The HIS OF God.

Boston Transcript
We Journey through lowland shadows,
Through the dull, dull mist and the
rain:
oh, chilling the fogs Of the marshes
And the winds from the lonely plain!
And our hearts grow sick with longing
For the beautiful paths untrod.
For we know that away above US
Stretch the glad. green hills OF God.
Our feet are chained to the valley,
We plough and we SOW and reap;
There are strifes and tolls for the noon
day,
And a grave where at night we sleep.
But a something speaks within us;
Look away from the spade and the
clod,
o soul. look up for thy birthright,
,And away TO the hills Of God!
'Tn the winds that sweep their SUBMITS
Is healing for all thy ills:
Up. up! till thou feel the current!
There is help; there Is help in the Hills,
Let darkness and sore disaster
But sunder thee from the sod,
And know thou shalt thrive in the sun
light
That crowneth the Hills OF Cod"
C. w. BRONSON.

THE MEETING TONIGHT.

II is believed that the meeting OF mer-
chants which Is 20 be held In the nan Oh
the Chamber OF Commerce tonight 10
consider the trading stamp business VIII
be largely attended. The subject Is one
OF growing interest. and the conclusion
seems to have been reached quite gen.
orally that II is time for the Legislature
to step In ,and call a halt upon the FUR
Their issue OF these stamps.
The Grocery World, In its last issue
says that 1.-THE antagonism TO the scheme
continues TO develop in all sections OF the
country" In several places the aid OF the
legal authorities has been invoked. ana IN
one ce-Wllliamsport, Pa.-the Chiet
Of Police has ordered The local merchants
to cease violating the law by using the
stamps. The World further says mat
nearly every State in the Union has
an anti-scheme law Of some sort, whlch
might easily be made to cover the trading
stamp business"
II Is doubtful II the existing virginia
laws are sufficient to deal with TINS ques-
ticn effectively, hence the bill offered IN
the House of Delegates by Mr.. Murphy
and now pending in the Committee on
Banks and Commerce.
That bill will be discussed at the meet
ing tonight. when it is hoped all OF hieh-
monds senators and delegates VIII be
nresent. AS we have said BEFORE we pe-
lieye the sentiment here among mer-
chants is well-nigh unanimous in favor
of the passage OF a law prohibiting the
further use of trading stamps.

A Dispatch subscriber resident OF one
of the James River Valley counties, IN
writing to us on y matter of business,
makes this depression in his letter;
1--WE rejoice to see Richmond, our capt.
tai. trying TO use her vast water power
and turning her attention to securing
manufactures This will serve TO make
our waste places blossom-we raise grain
and hay, &c, exhaust our soil, and buy
everything else we need. The drummers
from your city ana other large cities sell
hundreds of tons of oatmeal, soap, grlts,
Saratoga chips. starch, and other things
the materials for which all exist among
us. Yet we buy these all from the North
and West The northern farmers sell
their small potatoes to the starch-facto-
ries. hence the fine potatoes they have
10 ship and sell. We think agriculture, to
some extent, should be taught In our
free schools. especially the system of
saving and accommodating manure and the
preservation and restoration of the fer
tility of our lands. Now, If you will push
the good work of securing diversified man.
ufactures, and will also obtain us good
dog law for the protection of sheep. old
Virginia will soon be able to quit talking
Of retrenchment."
Our subscriber makes suggestions
worthy of the careful consideration of
three classes-Richmond capitalists. the
teachers in the country schools, and our
lawmakers.
