- - The Stock Market,

New York, Oct. 10.-The room trad CTS on the stock exchange turned bears again to-day and sold stocks. Outside of a few cases they did not meet with much success in securing a following, but in number of high priced special ties and late in the day, in some of the railroads, the declining market did induce some liquidation. This was notably the case in Northern Pacific, which fell in the last hour to 38k, a loss of 1&, and closed heavy in tone. Offerings of this stock was very large and the price movement revived rumors of irriconciliabIe differences between the two powerful financial interests in the property. The large German hold ing of this stock made it peculiarly susceptible to the effects of the money stringency in Berlin, indicated in the rise in the imperial bank rate to-day to 5 per cent. The same factor affected other railroad stocks also In fact the influence of all foreign markets was on the side of the bears. The relations between Great Britain and France dis closed by the publication of the Fasho- da blue book caused sufficient appre- hension to produce a decline of 3s in British consols and unsettled all the European markets. The continued un- easiness in France over domestic poli- cies and the possibility of the failure of the peace commission to agree upon terms were also ur on the side of the bears. There was some alarm over the spread of yellow fever in the south from which Illinois Central was the most severe sufferer with loss of 11s. Losses in the grangers reached point or over except that St. Paul resisted the decline. The principal activity of the market, however, continued to cen ter in the industrial group and Sugar fell easily to 110 with no visible sup port. The offerings on the decline were very large. Peoples Gas, Rubber stocks, Leather preferred, Manhattan, Metropolitan Street Railway and New York Air Brake were all sufferers at one time or other during the day to the extent of from 1 to 71a points. Tobacco was prominent feature but ruled above Saturdays level, the greater UHIl Ol llies ddS ul tie hctlulSilluIi Dl large plub tobacco interest. The price advanced at one time over 8 points, but the stock closed unchanged. Lake Erie and Western comman and preferred fell at one time BE and 101a respectively. The preferred rallied nearly points. There was no news to account for the decline. A loss of 8 points in Oregon Navigation preferred was also unexplained. There was no reflection in the stock market of the active demand for wheat for export or of the evidences of the expanding busi- ness of the country in the increased demands from the west for money. The transfers of currency at the sub-treas- ury for shipment to the west amounted to S810000. Conditions In the money market continue easy.

 Henry G. Newton moved that further investigation and the work of bringing the ordinance before the consideration of New Haven be placed in the hands of the outlook committee with power to add to their number as they desire.
 This produced some discussion, but the club passed the motion Rev. Charles Ray Palmer and MT. Allen then desired to resign from the committee, but the president refused to accept the resignations.
 Jacob Riis of New York, author of How the other half lives" was intro- | duced as the speaker of the evening, MT. Riis is police reporter of twenty- one years experience in New York. He spoke upon '"The condition of the poor in New York" saying in part: In our day conscience is not a local issue. What concerns New York concerns Boston, Springfield and New Haven. We are living in a great day. In New York the better day that is dawning broke in fear not in conscience After the war the condition of New York was horrible. But nothing availed until the conscience of the people was touched in 1S79 Then the cry went up that the condition was awful The community was shocked, but the shock was a healthy one.
 The tenement committee which inves- tigated their conditions reported that the tenants were better than the houses in which they lived. Life was a torment in those houses. People liv- ed and died there-principally died. But the chief offense of the tenement was that there could be no home in them. The committee reported 40 900 tenement houses in the city A second committee appointed five years ago called those tenements built in the rear of the original houses infant slaught- CT houses" These houses killed one out of every five babies born there.
 The children of these tenements have no schools. Fifty thousand of them were found to have no opportunity to attend school. When we asked the ar- thorities excactly now many there were no one knew.
 It is sobriety, it is honesty, and it is common horse sense that is needed in municipal governments. In New York under the old condition of affairs the regulations governing infant labor in factories and the compulsory education laws were considered good jokes. For twenty-one years no effort was made

And every alternate night they rouse up at F o'clock to sit before their troughs, grate their roots and sing their songs, till morning dawns and tired heads nod on brown shoulders.
 And this is the Law of the Lenga: Thou shalt not quarrel, lest thou gaze upon the turmeric with an evil eye; neither shall thy neighbor quarrel lest the sound thereof reach the turmeric house; neither hall any be at variance in the village lest the air be polluted with dissension And if any in the vil lage fight with his neighbor, or frown upon his brother; or if any woman fight over the lenga and gaze upon it with an evil eye; or if any carry evil tales, eat outside the turmerlc house. touch of food of which those out side have partaken, or greedily conceal food which she does not share with her lenga sisters, then shall the gathering be broken up and each woman return unto her own home, lest the turmeric be spoilt and the village win i'll fame.

Cinderella plugs the small hole at the tip, pours in some liquid lenga with the help of leaf and tenderly deposits her brown acorn beside the glowing em- bers. When two or three cups are thus set on end she heaps over them several dozen leaves of the laupata heart-shaped leaves with red veining, far too pretty to be shriveled and smoked in this lavish fashion Then it is politely hinted to me that my pres ence is no longer required, the lenga will take some hours to bake and I can see the results next day.
