game has been arranged between them
and the Ogden J. NJ. c. a. nine. The
foreign nine is really II and each
one of them are players of great skill.
The team has defeated the Santa Cruz
and Santa Clara teams in California
and lost only one game. and that to
the famous San Francisco Athletic
club by one run. But let TO one think
the game is to be a one-sided affair.
The Ogden boys are fine players and
would attract attention anywhere. If
they don't give the people from the
antipodes close game there will be
lots of missed guesses. The Australian
team is in charge of Harry Musgrove,
manager. The regular players ~are:

New York, May 19.-The firmness
shown by many standard shares in the
rather stormy vicissitudes of today's
stock market was quite remarkable
considering the existence of two such
centres of depression as New Jersey
Central all day and Chicago Gas in
the late dealings after the receipt Of
news of defeat in the Illinois legisla
ture of the bill permitting consolida-
ton of the gas companies. To esti-
mate the extent of the influence that
might have been exercised upon the
general market by these two stocks,
it must be considered that they
absorbed over $1,000 out of a total of
1900 shares dealt in on the exchange
for the day.
The days trading, though narrow,
was marked by a notable under cur
rent of strength, based partly on the
apparent termination of the war be-
tween Turkey and Greece and partly
to a conviction arrived at by public
opinion in the street by its own proc
esses of reasoning that the admins
tration at Washington had determined
against any radical steps in regard to
Cuba. The outward gold movement
is no longer viewed with marked ap-
prehension as at first on account of
the evidences that ii will be restricted
to moderate proportions. There was
slight hardening tendency to exchange
during the day showing that bills were
being slowly absorbed in spite of a
very light demand. The gold exports
for the week however, are expected TO
be small. Railway and miscellaneous
bonds were without essential change
in value although a decidedly firm
undertone was apparent.
Business was moderate with opera
tions largely restricted to the promin-
ent isues.
The sales were 1891, 900.

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Once More 1t is Facing a Crisis in
Europe.

Washington, May 19.-Again the beet
sugar industry in Europe is facing a
crisis in spite of the various ingenious
and complex legislative remedies that
have been applied. From several of
the United States consular officers,
Mann at Frankfort. Muth at Madge-
burg and Morris at Client; reports have
come to the state department descrip-
tive of the evil conditions that exist
in the sugar industry.
Consul Muth says the last sugar law
Of May Is. 1896, has been disappointing
in its effects. Prices have declined,
even in the face of d. largely increased
demand from the United States. Consul
Mann SAYS the law has actually in
creased the beet acreage which was al
ready at the extreme point of expan-
sion. Consul Morris transmits a COPY
of the most urgent and desperate plea
for help of the Belgian sugar makers
who each and ali say the prospect is
full of gloom.

tinue to demonstrate by their wisdom
that they were worthy of the high es-
tate to which they had come.
The board of directors in their re-
port stated that a year ago they de-
clared the Associated Press had made

ment of it's original and proper pur-

It was their privilege and pleasure
now to announce the idea has been ac-
complished. the Associated Press in
Guiding in its loyal membership all the
established newspapers of the country,
with comparatively few exceptions. 1t
was a matter for mutual congratula-
ton that the contest which had for
nearly four years divided the press of
the country had been brought to a con-
clusion which commanded general ac-
ceptance as permanently assuring the
best interests of the whole American
press.
The Associated Press met its en-
larged responsibility with member
