THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Oct. 4.-Irregularity marked
today's business in the stock market, but
the net result was in favor of the bulls,
final prices showing sharp gains in maly
cases. Elements of strength included the
st. Paul statement for the fourth week of
September, gold engagements presaging
further ease in the monetary situation
and more general commission house buy
ing. St. Paul was taken in hand at the
outset and lifted sharply but improve
ments in the general list was arrested by
irregularity in the specialties. The mar
ket generally speaking, did not take on a
decisive tone until the late session when
heavy buying orders were executed all
around which advarced prices materially.
Evidence that leading interests were sup
porting their favorites created uneasiness
among the shorts and large lines were
taken in. This circumstance likewise in
fluenced outside demand which had been
eliminated from the market during the
Generalization of the specialties. The
bears attempted to make capital out of
the closing of the Tradesmen's National
bank but 1t was not an effective card, as
| after period of dullpess the announce
ment prices worked up slowly until the
| movement assumed large proportions in
the late afternoon. Total sales were AS
| 4i6 shares.

States Consul Brice and his staff and
their families. Consul Br;ce said that for
three days before leaving Matanzas the
people threatened his life, and at all
times his property was IN danger. His
secretary was obliged to flee for his
life, as the mob threatened to drag
him through the treets- During
these three days the consul stuck a
fully at his post distributing supplies
to the starving reconcentrados.
At Z p. IN. of the Sth instant he got

LEE CAPTURED THE CAPITAL.
General Lee by Day CuImlnate ma
Grand Night Demonstration.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The ovation
that has followed Consul-General Fitz-
hugh Lee since he set foot on Ameri-
can soil on his return from Havana,
eliminated last night in Washington
in what was in many ways one of the
most remarkable demonstrations the
city has ever seen. From the moment
he alighted in the railroad station in
the afternoon he was surrounded by
a cheering crowd that followed him to
the state department, and the spectacle
of army and navy officers and govern
ment employees cheering outside the
very door of the secretary OF state was
wholly unprecedented in the history of
that staid department. At night the
city turned out in thousands when a
serenade was given Gen. Lee at his
hotel, and stood for hours in the street
awaiting n glimpse of him.
The night demonstration was almost
as quick and unprecedented as that
which had GREETED Gen. Lee at the de-
pot and state department. The United
States Marine band had been secured
from the barracks, and the Seventh
Regiment band, under the lead
erslip of Prof. Fanciulli, formerly con-
ductor of the Marine band. came over
from New York on an afternoon train.
The crowd assembled without calling,
and by eight o'clock was 5000 strong
in the streets about the Shoreham
hotel, where Gen. Lee was quartered.
Before tic close it was twice that size.
1t was after nine o'clock before he APP
peared on one of the small corner bal.
comics accompanied by a committee o!
the Union Veteran legion and the Con-
federate Veterans association, which
was jointly in charge of the affair.
The bands struck up the star Span
gled Banner" and there was a burst of
fireworks from the neighboring houses,
while mounds of red, white and blue
lights famed at intervals along the
street, throwing the crowd on the bal
cony into sharp relief against Il back
goound of flags The crowd yelled
itself hoarse, calling for General Lee
by name and demanding a speech.
The speech was brief and 50 much
broken by applause that the crowd
caught little more than it's general
drift.
