THE nEEcHER-hEoNARD GO.

Opening of Now Store at S37 Chapel street
 Last Evening-store Was Packed All the
 Evening-A Fine Line of Goods In StocK'
 Finishing touches were yesterday morning put on the arrangement Of the stock of the Beecher-Leonard company in their new and commodious quarters at SS7-S39 Chapel street, and all day long and last evening the store was thronged with admiring crowds, at tracted by the extensive opening dls- play of all the finest mems furnishing goods of the season. The big store IS completely filled with goods and even then there is barely room for the enor- nous stock which the firm carries.
 The store, which was formerly occu- pied by Ewen Mcintyre & Co.,, has been entirely renovated, repainted and refit- ted. The front has been newly painted in black and carries the firm name and the names of the lines of goods car ried in big gilt letters, which show out in old relief against the black.
 On the lower floor of the interior are the furnishing goods, while on the sec- ond floor is the trunk and bag depart iiSht' LII llle llOlll ol Iue SlOlS llSoi the entrance are the small furnishings, hats, collars, cuffs, neckwear, etc., while further back are the suits and overcoats. The overcoat stock is 8 large one and contains fine goods at reasonable prices. One of the special ties of the store is the childreri's fur nlshing department, where can be found all kinds of boys clothing and furnishings for ages from three to six teeen.
 The mems suits are made up in the latest and nobbiest styles of the best goods, including fine serges and Scotches and stripes, so popular this season. The stock of mems furnishing goods is said to be one of the largest in the state and large and efficient corps of civil clerks are on hand to attend to the wants of customers
 The second floor, trunks and bags de- partment. contains everything that could be desired in the way of suit and hat cases, satchels, bags and trunks. The store is well lighted by Wels- bach lamps and the whole interior is so nicely arranged that it is one of the pleasantest stores in the city At the rear, on the lower floor, are ladies' and gentlemen's toilet rooms, fitted with all conveniences and nicely carpeted. The store was filled with visitors to the opening all last evening and was bril- liantly lighted store and decorated with potted plants and palms, while music was furnished by an orchestra

The Stock Market Etebouuded Markedly
 in Yesterdays Tradings.
 New York, Oct. 1.-The bulls made over two weeks, and after heavy de- cline in the earlier part of the day they came forward to the support of the market and brought the closing prices very generally above last nights level.
 There was nothing i'll the news of the day that could be counted more fav- orable than that of the preceding day or two, and a sharp stiffening of the rates for call money during the after noon might be called distinctly un- favorable factor. But it had no effect in preventing the recovery, and the close at the highest point of the day. The probability of early engagement of gold for import was freely talked all day.
 In the early trading the raids of the bears on special stocks in each group was successful in depressing the par ticular group and the whole list by sympathy. Chicago Gas continued un- der heavy pressure and moved over a range of nearly three points.
 Omaha was selected in the granger group and was sold down at one time nearly two points, Missouri Pacific was the weak spot in the southwestern and was forced down IS, and so on for other stocks The tendency of the list to move independently of these stocks under pressure was the first evidence of recuperation. Soon afterwards sus- tained buying on a large scale became evident, and heavy covering move ment by the bears followed.
 Buying orders by the commission houses also had added to the strength of the market. There was a marked change in the whole tone of the specu- lation, the market becoming dull when ever the bears succeeded in checking the advance and business showing a lively increase whenever the course of prices turned upwards.
 The railroad earnings reported dur ing the day continued to show in creases, Northern Pacific reporting an increase for the third week in Septem- Der of $1SS,757. Louisville & Nashville's net increase for August was $133, ,749. A striking result of the recent sharp de- cline in the price of silver was shown in the August statement of the Mexican Central. While the gross earnings showed an increase of S166, ,33S, the net earnings showed a decrease of S135y AIS. This is due, the officials of the railroad explain, to increased expenses caused by
