includes all the fashionab BILE and really
desira BILE winter fabrics in staple and

These counters were so successful
last year we will make greater efforts

surprising the pretty and useful things

of them. And when it comes to 5 cents
the range is greater and the surprise
grows when you see the great values
we are offering. And the l0c. display
is a wonder to see the fine presents for
only this small amount; to see is to
buy. But for % cents-only quarter
of a dollar. The full extent is almost
reached in looking at the valuable
presents that look worth 50c., 75c. and

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings In All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Oct. 21.-What looked at one
time, today. like a resumption in force
of the upward movement of prices, came
to an untimely end in the afternoon on
the Wall Street Interpretation of Spain s
reported intention to press for more
stringent measures against filibustering
by the United States government and to
call this government to account for the
success of filibustering expeditions. Prices
were carried quite materially above last
nights level, at one time during the morn
ing, the rise extending to a point or over
in Sugar, Chicago Gas, Chesapeake q
Ohio and Cleveland c., c. & St. L., and
rs in Consolidated Gas. With the eXcep-
ton of c.. c., c. & St. L., the gains were
entirely wiped out in every important
stock and net declines are near a point in
many prominent instances and consider
ably over that in a number of cases. This
makes up a very wide range of fiuctua-
tons for the day. and the movements of
prices were very conflicting and irregular
up to the final decline. Union Pacific was
an element of weakness. Selling of
stocks for London account was more
or less of a drag on this market.
Money continued distinctly easy in this
market. the bulk of the call loans being
made at about per cent. Transactions.
today, were on a small scale, outside of
the Industrial specialties, the Changers
and one or two other leading railroad
stocks Manhattan. New Jersey Central,
the Starch stocks, Northwest the Pitts
burg, c.. G. & st. l.. stocks. Tennessee
Coal, Rubber pfd. and Pullman were the
notably weak points.
Transactions in bonds were dull and
prices in the main were firmly held. Deal
ings in Union Pacific collateral trust notes
were feature. Total sales. $l,90O.OOO

One of the many public carriage
drivers in this city reports a mys-
FERROUS disappearance. 1t seems that
the proprietor of the team was accost-
ed near the Kennebec bridge, by man
who said he wanted to be carried to a
certain number on Childs street, just
as quick as the driver could get him
there. The driver told the man to get
in and he would take him there as
quick as any team in the city could do
it. Down the street the team flew,
something after the gait of police
patrol wagon; up Rines hill, the
horse losing flesh every minute, and so
on until the number on Childs street
was reached. Here you are" sang
out the driver as he turned around to
get his fare. His feelings may better
be imagined than described when he
found that there was no one in the car
