The Stock Market.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Influences af-
 fecting individual properties furnished
 the motive for to-day's irregular price
 movement. The bears, flushed with
 their recent successes, attempted to
 make it interesting for their opponents
 at the outset and effected a break in
 Tobacco and Sugar. The latter went
 down on the announcement of reduc-
 tion in grades of the product, but heavy
 supporting orders turned the current
 and forced heavy covering. Subse-
 quent fluctuations were very cratic in St Paul, with the sympathy with the changes elsewhere, but the stock re-
 bounded strongly and ended at the top.
 The futile efforts of the shorts to inflict damage on the railway list caused the traders to range on the long side for a turn, and bulish sentiment became more marked.
 Absorption of the standard dividend
 stocks has been in progress lately by
 interests capable of holding them until
 the general situation became clearer,
 and outside confidence regarding the tendency of the money market was re- stored Consequently the apparent di-
 minution in the floating supply of stock caused monetary scramble and values improved sharply in many directions. Later developments seemed to favor a belief that the bears were playing pos l sum and content to wait until the mar ket reached a higher level in order to make the losses more acute. Dullness 1 followed the rise and little of interest developed until the late session, when | Tobacco was savagely attacked and ex- l tensive short lines were put out else l where.
 Tobacco, which reached level frac- l tionally above last night, slumped : | points, to 12715, and the market for Rubber and some other stocks was cut
 away. The demoralization in Tobacco | forced holders to sacrifice their inter- ests elsewhere in order to meet the ur- gent demands by commission houses for additional margins. Reports re- , garding the nature of the forthcoming Burlington statement added to the
 break and large blocks were let go with
 resultant severe losses.
 The success of the bear party in caus- | ing the current demoralization in Su- l gar and Tobacco caused considerable
 nervousness and uncertainty among se- l curity holders. The steadiness of the
 money market during the furry and the report that the government would dis purse on October 10 anticipated No vember interest amounting to S425o, 900 on the threes, fours and fives failed to | check the selling movement. Final dealings were very feverish, but last
 prices ruled above the lowest, with the declines exceeding a point, mainly in 1 the industrials.

 GRAND FALL EWING

or the Edward Malley Co.,, Yesterday.
 The fall opening of the Edward Nal ley company began yesterday. It is a brilliant affair and is one of the best ever given in the city. The entire store Is decorated in a fine manner and is very pretty place to see even if one does not expect to buy.
 In going from one department of the store to another the eye is attracted by the beautiful manner in which the millinery department has been deco rated for the autumn styles The large handsome room has been converted into a sort of autumn woods, with eat tails and trees whose foliage has just begun to be tinged with red and gold. Case upon case of hats and bonnets are shown, many of them imported One from Vrot is of pale purple mirror velvet, an artistic bit of work from the mililners point of view, so delicately is it made. The crown is soft velvet, is tucked and from the broad brim fell long feathers fastened with great pearl pins.
 It is impossible to describe all the pretty hats and boinets which are on show. Suffice it to say that there were never handsomer creations in the way of millinery than can now be found in the great emporium.
 The coat and costume department also attract the eyes of the shoppers. Some of the coats have the fiounce fin- ish and one especially new made with the f1ounce effect has gored sleeves set in like mans coat sleeve. In fact. this stylish coat is rather masculine with it's flap pockets on the hips. Some very handsome velvet capes are also shown with the Louis XIV trimming about the founced edge. These are very desirable for theater and carriage use.
 The most fashionable weaves from the best looms in the world may be found in the dress goods department. There are silk and Roman plaids, satin face Venetians, solid colors and mix lures, imported poplins, English whip cords broadcloths of all styles and colorings, tweeds, cheviots, camefs hair cloths and serges and in fact ev- erything in that line of the very best. There are also autumn shades in hand some silks Among them are satin duchesse and brocaded novelties in black silks, and in colors there are high class novelties in plaids, checks, stripes and brocades in evening shades In the way of dress trimmings there are many specimens of guimps. braids, silk and jet trimmings, silk applique passa- menteries that have been selected by their buyers in the markets of the world and as for laces it would require a column or more to tell of the different kinds and styles that may there be found In short the display of all kinds of dress goods has never been sur passed in the autumnal display that may be found in this grand establish ment.
 The opening continues through to- day and before it's finish will have been visited by almost every lady in the city. ..

DANGEROUS SURGERY.
Death Follows the Surgeons Knife

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Pilos Quickly,
 Painlessly, Without Danger

Painlessly, Without Danger.
 People go along for years suffering with piles, Then try this and that and the other thing; from carrying buck eye to getting treatment from physi- clan, They obtain temporary relief, maybe, but they are never quite cured, little strain in lifting, excessive fa- tigue, little constipation or a little diarrhoea, and the piles come back.
 They don't seem to amount to much, but they banish sleep and appetite, No position is comfortable. There is in- tense local pain and that dreadful feel ing of weight in the perineum,
 Maybe in the early stages some of the many salVes on sale will afford temper ary relief. If the case is of long stand ing there is only one speedy and sure remedy. It is Pyramid Pile Cure. Even In light cases it is the safest thing to use. Other applications may cure and may not. Pyramid Cure is always cer- tain, always reliable and always brings comfort at once. It's prompt use saves months of severe suffering. In extreme cases it will save surgical operations and their attendant dangers and dis comforts.
 It is better than the knife. Will cure easier, quicker and safer Thousands have used it. Thousands have been cured by it.
 The cost is trifling compared with what it does. The price is 50 cents Most anybody would gladly pay ten dollars to be rid of piles.
 Druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure. If yours hasn't it he will get 1t from the Pyramid Pile Drug Go. of Marshall Mich., sole manufacturers.

BUYING FOR XMAS
Stores and Streets damned
Yesterday.
TIDE SWAMPS MERCHANTS
CIamor for Clerks from all
the Stores.

Christmastide ran in upon Wichita yes
,erday and there was not business man
in the city who had his chin above the
wave. Crowds on the streets and crowds
damned in all the stores. \ representa-
tive of the Eagle, standing or the corner
OF Main and Douglas for ten minutes,
counted more than 300 people go by in that
time, and of the 800 about % Of them had
each from one 20 five Christmas packa ges.
Armfuls, basketfuls; Christmas in bundles.
in festoons and heaps and loads. There
were probably 1890 people in the city buy
ing Christmas goods yesterday. The mer-
chants couldn't get clerks enough. There
was a clamor fo- clerks from every place
in town. And the shoplifter was not alb
sent Nearly all the stores had detectives.
In the morning there was mud. At noon
there was more mud. BY in the evening
there was most mud. The day was for the
most part Gear, but as evening came the
atmosphere was becoming overladen with
humidity. The air was heavy. Smoke hung
over house tops. There was a mist and
then a rama drizzle The lights Of the
city had that peculiar appearance bred by
misty weather. The electric lights shone
like a acknowledgements stars, white in
the center, shading of 10 steel gray on
the great heap of darkness piled to where
the north star and moon should be. The
gas and oil lights were dull, sickly. The
reflections in the water on the streets
made bright spots in a thousand places
underfoot. Mud had turned to slush.
From morning till night there was one
thing in the mind of nine out of ten; that
one thing was to get ready for Christmas
Men. women and children walked in mud
by day and waded in sIush at night.
Everywhere there were toys, decorated
stores and attractive things in show win
dows. People made the rounds, looking
here and there, figuring just what Christ
mas allowance would get. The boy shout
ed at the sight of gun and ball. The girl
must have a doll. The woman fingered at
the sight of jewelry. One round is made:
the bundles are counted and the cost taken
out of the Xmas allowance. and the holi-
day buying vii be continued.
It is but week till Christmas One
man who was alone. and sauntered while
others went by, was hailed and this was
his story:
This Christmas buying IS a matter that
confuses. 1 would like to buy many things
"a thousand times more than 1 can afford.
Just what I shall lido I cannot entirely
make oct. Here, for example. is an order
from my little girl. who wants a rattle
box and wooden stockings for a baby; fer
herself she wants a doh that will go to
sleep a doll buggy, a don house a play
table, bookcase for her books, a sack of
candy and nuts, doll clothes, a comb and
case and especially a book with the pic
lures OF giants IN it. There it IS; what
shall buy2'
But people dropped IN and out. got a
bundle and then another. Yesterday was
the first real buying day preliminary 20
Christmas.

FORTY FEET HIGH
Gasoline Fire on North Law
renee Avenue.
JOHN GIDDING ON FIRE
BIazes Shoot Up TO Tops of
Buildings.

Yesterday evening about Z o'clock the
Dean. Eames & Dean grocery wagon
dumped two 5-gaIlon cans Of gasoline and
a lighted lantern in the street at Thir-
tenth and Lawrence and the highest bon
fire ever seen in the city followed. The
two cans were being delivered with some
other things, and 1t was so dark that a
lantern was taken along. Both cans were
Gull, and in driving over some rough place
the gas sloshed out on the lantern and
caught fire. The driver jumped up at
once and kicked the cans, lantern and all
out into thesstreet.
John Giddings, a young fellow of i.
son OF Giddings, the carpenter, who lives
at 1913 Wichita street. ran up and kicked
one Of the cans. attempting 10 roll it out
of the blaze and perhaps save it. About
that time the can exploded, throwing the
OIL and fire in every direction. Giddings
clothes caught fire and the blaze fared
up. siRgeing his eyebrows, and burning
his face and neck. Jim VINCENT took OFF
his overcoat and wrapped it around Cid
dings, threw him down and rolled him in
the snow and slush and finally succeeded
IL putting out the fire and saving Cid
dings life. Young Giddings was sick from
fright and pain for some time Iast night.
but the burns viii probably not prove
10 be very serious owing 10 the prompt
action Of Mr.. Vincent, who showed a very
remarkable presence of mind.
The blaze shot up from the center Of the
street 10 a height of forty feetshrdlu

and had the cans taken FIRE near a build
ing the resule would have been very de-
strUctive.
Nobody but young Giddings received
any very serious injury. The driver whip
