Flour was dull, most jobbers being tenn.
porarily well supplied and indifferent
about operating Prices were without
important change, and offerings were
moderate. Feed on the spot was steady,
under moderate offerings, but there was
little inquiry except for choice stock.
Hay and straw were in good supply, and
the medium and low grades were weak.
Demand was chiefly for No. and choice
stock. Refined sugars were quiet and
steady. Provisions sold in jobbing
way on a basis of quotations. Wheat
opened a shade weaker, but the call
showed no important change from Satur-
days final rates. Liverpool cables were
lower and the export demand was light.
Corn options ruled steady up to the close
of the call, with good demand from ey-
porters, but there was no speculative
trading. Local car lots were nominaly
firm in the absence of spot offerings.
Oats in car lots were scarce and firmly
held, but only moderate inquiry pre-
vailed from jobbers. Cotton was un-
changed.

HIGH SPEEDS.

The resistance to be overcome by due not so much to friction as to the inertia of the atmosphere. The air holds back body moving through it at a given speed with the same force that a wind of the same velocity would exert on it if the body were at rest It presses on a square foot, moving through it at the rate of forty miles an hour, sufficiently hard to consume one and half horse power 1n keeping up the velocity. A car is not far from seven feet high and seven feet broad, and to move it for ty miles an hour requires an expendi ture of seventy three horse bowen to overcome the resistance of the air As this resistance increases as the square of the velocity it requires 292 horse power to drive a car at the rae of eighty miles an hour, but only 164 horse power if the speed is sixty miles an hour This is exclusive of the amount required to overcome fric- tion Were it not flor the resistance of the air bicyclists and electric cars could attain very high speed. Were it not for this principle some birds would have been developed in the course of ages of evolution as large as elephants A consideration of the resisting power of the air shows how childish is the hope of navigating the atmosphere by balloons or aero planes Were it not for the inertia of the air the earth would not be a pleasant place to live on in the month of August, for millions of aerolites lombard our planet and all but the large ones are vaporized by the heat that the friction of the air creates. The large ones are checked in their career by the air or they would make holes through the crust and perhaps knock the stuffing out" of our globe The only way man can attain ve- locity over one hundred and twenty miles an hour is in a pneumatic tube filled by a car in front of which the air has been exhausted. However, one hundred miles an hour is fast enough for ordinary purposes.

OFF ON A 10000 MILE RACE.
Two American Ships Start From Phil
 adelphia for Pacific Coast

Philadelphia, Oct. 18.-The Ameri- can clipper ships Tacoma, Captain Caffrey, and Indiana, Captain Colley, sailed out of the Delaware breakwa- ter yesterday afternoon on ten thousand mile race. Both are from Philadelphia, the former bound for Tacoma and Seattle and the latter for San Francisco. Arthur Sewall, late candidate for vice president, is sole owner of the Indiana, which has traded around Cape Horn for twenty one years. It is calculated that she should reach San Francisco in 12O days.
 Between the masters of,these ships there has been much discussion as to their respective sailing qualities, and each agreed to deposit sum of mon ey, to go to the winning ship, after time and distance allowances shall have been made to the one going to the more northern port
 The Tacoma was built in Bath in 1881, is of 1872 tons register, and owned by Charles Davenport of Bath, while the Indiana is of 1,48O tons reg ister, and was built in 1876. MT. Sewall regards her as one of the best ships, despite her age.

THE BRYANITE IDEA.

One can we'll believe the stat em ent that the proposition of the Bank of England to increase the holdings of silver in its reserve fund grew out Of the work Of the Wolcott commission. But there is no sort of connection between the object the bimetallists have in view and that the Bryanites have in view. The Wolcott commis- sion is engaged in work promised by the republican party weeks before
 MT. Bryan's propaganda was launch
 ed. When the St. Louis platform was adopted it was not known that the democrats would put out So extreme a bid for support as they aftetrward did at Chicago, nor that so extreme a man as MT. Bryan would be cho- sen to stand on it. Bimetallism by international agreement, therefore, has no connection whatever with Mr. Bryan's past race or his present con tention. MT. Bryan f1outs the Wol
 colt commission~ and all it has done OF is trying to do. He is opposed to any agreement with foreign govern ments about the finances. He wan S the United States government to have a financial policy of its own, and as he outlines that policy it would not be bimetallism, but, inevitably, sil- yer monometallism. International bi- metallism would be impossible, under MT. Bryanss policy, for this country.
 Such a concession to silver as ap- pears in this Bank of England propo- si.ion has tendency to assist in de- feating what MT. Bryan is striving for. The more active and successful the friends of international bimetal- ism are the less MT. Bryan and his friends will like it. They want to establish a financial policy of their own, and the cornerstone or that pol icy must be silver and not silver and gold. They have no use. for gold. Silver, they insist, is much the stabler and more useful standard of value.

The kiss still continues to be d source of numerous news paragraphs In New York a man shot and fatally wounded his uncle because the older man tried to kiss his niece -in-law contrary to her wishes. In London a woman has just died from hydropho- \ Abia caused by permitting her pet do g (to kiss her lips. In Holland the court of appeals has decided in case brought against a young man who as- saulted a young woman with a kiss tht it is no offense to kiss a person, 'as it is in the nature of a mark of sympathy" If that Holland decision should stand as precedent in this country pretty girls would be subject to assaults without number. It is Ie- markable how the sympathy" of a young man becomes aroused at the sight of a pretty feminine face.

Sweeps Across the State, Scattering
 Wreckage in Its Path.

New York, Oct. 1S-A tornado struck New Jersey yesterday, travel ing from the little village of Far Hills, near Summit, to Elizabeth. At Elizabeth it wrecked a building and killed a man who had sought shelter there. The storm appeared in the form of a black cloud, which increas- ed in size and rapidity as it ap- preached the village. It's path was about 400 feet wide. A barn belong ing to David Dumont was demolish- ed. The roof of a house which stood near by was stripped of its shingles and shutters. Other houses suffered in the same way, but none were blown down. The most se-ious damage was at the railroad station, which was un- roofed, the heavy tin being rolled up into mass and carried several hun dred feet.
 When the storm reached Elizabeth 1t swept down a partly finished dwell ing house on Atlantic street. John Clark, laborer rc.s Bayonne, with an- other workman, had taken refuge in the partly completed house, and Clark was buried in the wreck and killed. His companion managed to get out with slight injuries. Throughout the storm did much damage and te'e- graph and telephone wires were pros trated
