not due to the radical movement for
better trade, so much as the release OF
orders which have been held for the
announcement Of the threatened re-
ductlons. In staple cottOns there is
less activity than in other lines. In

the contracts they had made Their buy

the same course ii had followed, so that
the net changes are very narrow in al
most all cases. This was true even of
Chicago Gas, which ranged over more
than two points in q very erratic manner
and on large transactions. 1t was true
also of Consolidated Gas. which took one
of its characteristic tumbes of four
points and then recovered.
The marked declines of the morning in
the Southwestern stocks and the Changers
were also largely recovered, many stocks,
particularly the Changers, rising above
Saturdays level. Statements of railroad
earnings for the first week in October re-
ceived during the day, showed continued
improvement. Actual rates for sterling
exchange fell again to $4S4A for demand
and then A.S2l for GO days. This is said
to be at the gold import point. in spite of
the fact that the Bank of England. today,
advanced its price for American eagles to

61a pence at the time last weeks engage

HallOwell has peculiar case in re-
gard to the ownership Of a piece of prop
erty on Water street. The building in
question was built a number of years
ago by the old Hallowel and Chelsea
Bridge Co., and was used as an Office
and dwelling house by the toll-keeper
when the bridge was destroyed, by the
freshet of '72, the building was hired by
the late Hiram Fuller as a steamboat
Office. He continued to pay rent to the
bridge company as long it remained in
existence, and at last the most of the
members of the company having died,
there was no one to pay rent to and
no one to claim the building. Mr.. Full
Ter paid the taxes on the property and
just previous to his death when he
turned it over to d. w. Packard. on the
condition that he would assume the
debt of the rent due, during the occu-
pancy of Mr.. Fuller, which then
amounted to between two and three
hundred dollars. Mr.. Packard then
took possession and opened fruit
store. He has kept the building in re-
pair, as did Mr.. Fuller, also paying the
taxes. and it looks as though the prop
