MAKING A HARD FIGHT.
Rut the Anti-sa loon League II Not
Very Successful hTis Year.

But the ADti-Sa loon League L. Not
Very Successful hTis Year.
The Anti-Saloon League has had no
success this year in it's crusade against
"aliey-corner groggeries" which are
supposed to ruin the colored inhabi-
tants Of those regions. 1t is the COM
ment of people interested in such mat
ters that the League has had no sue
cess anywhere and that not a license
has been revoked on account of it's ef
forts.
The record of this year is interesting.
Last October the league had enthusi-
astiC meetings, sent out literature,
wrote communications TO the newspa-
perS and I'm other ways was most act
i've against the saloon keepers. This
activity has continued almost unabated
and lawyer has been employed to
fight the granting of licenses. He has
been heard in every doubtful case has
brought Witnesses to testify against
places and has furnished affidaVits.
AT the beginning of the campaign il
was announced by the league that in
its opinion 400 saloons were as many
as the city ought to stand. The league
wished to wipe ouf the whole lot of
5i5 applicants. but il would strive par
uculAriy To cut the number OF saloons
To 40G. Later on when the licenses
were granted. even though a strong
fight had been made in particular
cases, the league began To fear that
4j0 licenses might be issued. Toward
the last il was decided that 500 would
be allowed. Lawyer Shoemaker re-
doubled his efforts and jumped hard
on the questionable cases.
out of the 545 applications eighteen
were at first rejected Five of these
have been allowed on rehearing, So
that there are only thirteen reflections
left. Four of them are to new places
leaving only nine saloons to be closed
as the matter stands at present. There
may be rehearing and licenses granted
in some Of these nine.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.

Peru, Of all the countries on the

Central railway, which starts from
Callao to cross the Andes, has a rise
Of nearly 10000 feet above the sea lev

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Oct. 20.--Considering the
apathy and Indifference which have re-
Gently been manifested on the stock
exchange the resistance made today to
the depressing influences existing on
all foreign security market was rath-
er remarkable. Even at the opening
prices refused to yield to a parity with
those established in London for Amer
leans before our opening and the rath-
er heavy volume of offerings for Lon
don account was easily absorbed at a
level sufficiently higher to make "A very
nice profit for the arbitrage brokers.
After the London selling had ceased
in the forenoon the market took on a
hardening tendency and broadened out
to very perceptible extent. Prices of
the Changers and other railroad stocks,
including some in the list of those
dealt in on foreign exchanges, rose
above yesterdays level or. at the least,
retrieved the earlier losses. Many re-
cent inactive stocks were brought into
the movement, and there was a re-
sumption of the buying in small lots
of some of the well secured dividend
paying stocks. The explanation of this
lay in the fact that what is Europe's
poison is to certain extent our meat.
The striking evidence of this was dis
closed in the grain and provision mar
kets, which were all excited and high
er on the eager competition for our
products reflected from all Europeans
markets as result of the fears of
coming hostilities between Great Brit
ain and France. Total sales were 49,
