STOCKS FIRM AND EVEN.
Trading In Fairly Large Volume and
Well Distributed.


New York, Nov. 2S.-Apart from the out
come of the peace negotiations, the days
situation was also favorable to greater
stability in the market sfor securities
Some remarkably good statements of
earnings were reported, including those
of the st. Paul and Chesapeake and Ohio
companies for the month OF October. The
severe and widespread spell of cold wealth
er was counted upon as likely to help out
the dccrepit anthracite coal companies,
and, BESIDES there were further indica-
tions of greater harmony In the conduct
of the business. Progress was also re-
ported in the work of adjusting the di-
vergepcies of opinion In the so-styled
Northern Pacific-Oregon Railway and
Navigation controversy. Other features
of the general situation were pronounced
decline in sterling exchange and a per-
ceptibly weaker tone In the money mar
ket.
In these general circumstances the stock
market was naturally firm, with the trad
ing in fairly large volume and well dis
tributed. The granger shares emerged
from last weeks comparative obscurity
ana were IN utHldHu TiSiflS Du'
the buying of these stocks being doubt
less induced by the fine st. Paul state
ment The Pacific stocks were also in re-
quest for the reasons noted and in the
instance of Union Pacific the highest
prices yet recorded for both classes of
the stock were made. Southern Railway
and Louisville and Nashville scored fur
ther advances, in which the highest prices
for a year or more were reached Fur
chases for foreign account were noted in
all the cases cited in fairly large proper
tions.
On balance the trading for foreign ac-
count resulted in purchases of upward oi
40 eco. shares of stocks, and II was de
oided factor in the days market Other
notably strong features We're Chesapeake
and Ohio, ST. Louis and San Francisco
and the anthracite coal shares.
The industrial shares were fairly active
hut interest was chiefly taken up for rail
way stocks The Federal Steel shares anC
the International Paper issues were firm
Sugar Refining was comparatively quiet
/ considering the approach of dividend dec
laration period. which is usually one o.
lively speculation in the stock. Traders
| in Sugar, however, are puzzled in tryins
to strike a balance between known trade
| conditions and the comparative steadines'
of the stock.
The market closed active and firm.

New York, Nov. 2S.-Prices at the. New
York Cotton Exchange jumped up u TO

higher Liverpool market, cold, rain, and
snowy weather at the South, a tendency

operators, Good cotton is scarce. Low
grades are unusually plentiful, and some
persons think that the scarcity of~csn-
tract cotton may yet be severely felt.
Some of the cotton raised in parts CT
Georgia and Arkansas is selling for only
SIS a bale which is something never
known before, Europe is believed TO be

RurnI Free Delivery.

OF the rural free delivery service the
report says in part:
Service over $50 rural carrier routes,
not heretofore covered, have been put in
operation since my first annual report.
These deliveries have been established in
the States of California, Colorado, Della
ware, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa.
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Nebraska. New
Hampshire, New York, North Dakota.
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and West
Virginia. Investigations are in progress
which will probably result in the extern
sion of the service over at least fifty ad-
ditional districts, with such number of
carriers assigned to each district as the
service may seem TO demand and the in
PRODUCTION of rural free delivery into some
States and Territories in which the eXper-
iment has not Yet been tried. These,
however, are comparatively few in num-
ber. the service being now in operation to
greater or less extent in thirty-five States
and one Territory.
''The progress of the alternate day
routes in North Dakota, and In one other
State where this plan has been adopted
is being watched with interest. If it
should prove acceptable to the people (of
which there seems little doubt and eco
nomical TO the Government (as to which
there seems even less question:, this
method of alternate day service might be
followed in, many districts where the pop
ulation is not dense enough to justify a
daily service. but where the distances
from postoffices are so great as to justify
the department in giving to the communi-
ty. as far as possible. delivery of mails
This would simply follow out the plan
adopted in other countries where the ex-
! pertinent of rural free delivery has been
in progress for much longer time than
| In the United States
A great number of the letters from
postmasters and others in the territories
| in which the rural free delivery has been
established are printed In the report.

Chicago's W. c. T. U. Temple is
known in every part OF the civilized
world. OF all the public structures in
that city, and outside OF the worlds
fair grounds, 1T was the most studied
and observed by strangers In the mem-
orable year of 1893 The structure, ar
chitecturally thing of perfect design,
has become TO thinking people a per-
petual memorial of the cause of tenn
perance and the life Of Miss Willard.
The building stands at Adams and
La Sale streets, In the heart of the
insurance district OF Chicago. In ex-
terror and interior few of the build
ings OF the period in which ii was
erected have such a finish. The main
entrance arch on Adams street con-
tains gift stones from every state and
territory in the Union. Within, aside
from the suites for rent TO business
men, there are willard hall and the
headquarters Of the National w. c. T..
u. and all of its affiliated interests.
The Temple grew out of a PROPOSE
ton made within the ranks of the w.
c. T. u. ten years ago that there
should be erected as a memorial and
"a headquarters building which should
be lode star to temperance people in
all parts OF the world. Considerably
over $1,000,000 was put into the struc-
ture. The land on which 1t stands was
secured under a lease from Mr.. Mar
shall Field, the merchant prince of
