showing substantial increases. The gains in some of the southern lines was especially gratifying in view of the slow movement of cotton and quarantine regulations in some sections. These conditions were responsible for the marked decreases reported by the southwestern group
 Arbitrage houses had purchasing or ders, but the action of the market dis couraged any extensive ventures, and only light sprinkling of various stocks was taken. The elimination of an ac- tive speculative interest from the mar ket owing to the rigid observance of the Hebrew holiday Tom Kippur reduc- ed business considerably, and the raid on Tobacco also chilled the outside de- mand.
 The decline in Tobacco was attrlbut- ed to the denial by the officials of the Drummond company that their concern had been absorbed by the American To- bacco company.
 The bears attacked the stock with considerable confidence and drove it down SIS, to 1894. Considerable amounts of stock were liquidated and lllG dDpdTtuL OL lilS llSiNlCl D to see the prices lower invited extensive selling by the shorts. In the last hour the stock moved upward in sympathy with the general market and brought 141B. Sugar moved up to 113, and the railways, which had moved independ- ent of Tobacco throughout the day, ruled the best. In the final dealings Tobacco slumped badly and touched 139. The other industrials also suffer ed from realizations, but no appresia- ble declines were recorded in the stan dard stocks.
 The market left off unsettled, with slight losses generally Call money rates stiffened sharply late in the day and 51s per cent. was quoted for time.

The Stock Market.

New York, Sept. 26.-The action of to-day's market at the opening was dis appointing to the bulls, and stocks pur- chased Saturday on the favorable bank statement were speedily let go and commitments made for the short ac- count. The higher range of London prices encouraged the bulls and efforts were made to advance prices to a par ity with the London figures. The rise in the foreign market in Union Pacific showed that the foreigners were be- coming reconciled to the dividend ac- tion.
 Opening prices here were somewhat mixed, but the hesitancy was soon suc- ceeded by a general plunge downward under the guidance of the specialties Stop loss orders were uncovered in the loaders, and the market for time was at the mercy of the bears, who searched diligently for weak spots. Gossip that disagreement existed between some of the speculative pools was colored to some extent by the severity of the break in spots. Prices for Tobacco, Peoples Gas and Brooklyn Transit melted away rapidly, but Sugar after a dip downward of a point encountered supporting orders and ruled above Sat urday's closing figure for the balance of the day.
 The railways meanwhile fell sympa- theticalIy, but the losses were confined to fractions and after the first rush to sell had abated, settled down to a level slightly above the lowest and resisted subsequent efforts at depression. The firmness was accounted for by the pub Ifcation of numerous traffic statements covering a wide area of territory and

YALE'S ATHLETIC TRAINER.
A Decision to Be Reached To-day ir
 Regard to Sanford

A Decision to Be Reached To-day in
 Regard to Sanford.
 The question of an athletic trainer for the Yale teams has aroused much interest and caused much discussion during the past summer. There has been a number of candidates for the position, of whom Foster Sanford has been the most prominent. Those in authority in the matter have taken their time and have endeavored to discover the sentiment of all who are interested in the selection of train CT. Although no final decision has been made, 1t is known that Walter Camp, in behalf of the athletic associ- ations, and Sanford will attempt to come to terms to-day. The advisory committee in connection with the man. agers and captains of the various teams held 8 meeting recently at which the majority were in favor Of selecting Sanford It is said that the question of salary may prevent San ford and Camp from coming to terms It is hoped that this will not be the case as Sanford is a valuable man in coaching the center men on the foot ball team, where Yale is likely to be weak this fall.

HIS DEATH MYSTERIOUS.
Edward orvis May or May Not Have
Committed suiciee.

The death Of Edward Orvis early yes
terGay morning is a mystery and al
ways will remain one. The coroner
says that while there were circum-
stances in connection with the scene
of the young mans death which point
ed to suicidal intent, no absolute proofs
developed at the post norton exami-
nation which warranted it being said
that the poison, probably hydrocyanic
acid, was taken with the wish of COM
hitting suicide.
The facts in connection with
the premature death Of this young man
are that he went to spend the night
with J. A. Pardon, who is employed
in the Eureka drug store, 1718 Fourth
avenue SOUTH shortly after midnight.
The drug clerk slept in the store, and
Orvis went to the prescription coun-
ter to mix drink, after which he re-
turned to bed. In a short time he was
taken very Ill and died two hours later.
The circumstances lead those having
the most intimate acquaintance with
the case to believe that Orvis made a
fatal mistake in mixing the drink that
he prepared for himself. He was a
young man twenty-five years of age
employed in the grocery store of Myers
&c Co., 1920 Fourth avenue south.

of the effort of the authorities of Rich
mond county to levy such a tax under
the state law. In this case the land
OF the railroad company was sold for
taxes, and the railroad receivers
brought suit to set aside the sales on
the grounds of irregularity and invalid

the supreme court held that three Of
them did not fall within the rules of
the court The other three questions.
to which the court made reply, were
as follows:

Laws Of Dakota, fer 1888 to exempt from tax
