NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-Some obvious ef-
fort was required to sustain prices today
above the level of Saturday, and the mid
prices in some cases declining below Sat-
urday's level. An inspection of the list
will reveal that outside cf a very few cases

with selling Of Northern Pacific on large
scale and talk of complications in connec-
tion with the roads connections with other
roads, the burden apparently became too
heavy, and pretty much all the earlier

There were other points of strength In the
market during the day. particularly
There was no general public interest in the
market, and some attention was paid to
the large naval and military preparations
making in Great Britain. The weakness
Of the wheat market early in the day on
the big Russian shipments was also an In
fiuence in the market. The small demand
for money is not regarded as a favorable
indication, now that there are abundant
funds in the market.
There was continued activity in the bond

The Sugar Eight

The sugar war at the east is maintained:
1t is having bad effect on the stock of
the sugar refneries and on the grocery
trade Of the country. The refners no
longer guarantee prices, and so distributors
are at sea. Meetings of wholesalers are
being held, says the Bulletin, to obtain
measures Of relief. 1t looks as if thu. fight
would be long and bitter. A new refinery
is to take hand in it next month. An
exchange says: "The Doescher refinery has
large stock of raw sugars in its warehouse
and expects to. begin business November l..
1t is claimed that if there is to be sugar
fight it. will begin then, as the Doescher in
terest is even less popular with American
sugar interests than the Arbuckle. Peo-
pie who have been right on sugar say that
there has been no buying by important in
terests. and all but one block OF stock has
been distributed. This block is not in the
hands Of sugar people. The Doescher po-
sition is defined as absolute unwillingness
to sell out, and the Havemeyer position has
not changed from that outlined some time
ago, to the effect THAI this was the time to
settle the building Of opposition refneries
by making business unprofitable."

WEARERs OF THE MITTENS

Jimmy Trimble surprised everybody by
the excellent showing he made against Billy
Gallagher Friday night before the Los An
geles Athletic club. Trimble was evidently
handicapped by fear OF his opponent, and
adopted tactics which We're amusing. Tie
retreated all over the ring for the greater
part OF the fight, and did not make half a
dozen leads in eight rounds. He rallied in
the latter part, however, and showed much
better, having Gallagher in bad shape in the
two final rounds. Trimble should gain
more confidence, and in his next fight mix
things UP earlier in the game. He has
more than anything else, quickness, both in
ducking and striking, and can also take con
siderable punishment. He makes the mis-
take of fddling with his arms, and thu!
wasting strength which should be saved fol
the real issue Of the fight. The man should
place himself in the hands of a competent
trainer, and with attention to work there is
every reason for believing that he can make
good fighter. One very essential thing
he lacks, though, is confidence.
'kid' Parker is trying to get a return
match with Bob Thompson. The "Kid'
said Saturday that he thought he could in
duce Thompson to sign articles for such a
fight at 1877 pounds at 6 o'clock on the even.
ing of the meeting. Thompson has de.
sired Parker, so the latter asserts, to train
pounds, which "Kid" says he cannot do with
safety. He is willing to make concessions,
however, in order to get the return match.
Thompson is negotiating with the Lenox
club of New York for fight with Spike
Sullivan for good sized purse. Thompson
has had very hard siege of it at times dur
ing his stay in this city, and his friends will
be very glad to learn of any favorable turn
Of fortune for him. Thompson is as fair
square and gentlemanly fighter as ever
stepped into prize ring, and he deserves
to fare we'll.
W.. w. Naughton of the Examiner does
not think that Sharkey has been 80 severed,
handicapped by the articles of agreement
in his coming fight with Corbett. Wresthn,
and hitting in the break-away and clinche!
are barred. Many of the best posted mer
in the east seemed to think that Corbett haf
stolen march on the sailor, but Naugh
ton does not agree with them in this regard
He says that Sharlseys most effective mod,
of fighting is to repeatedly rush his oppo
nents and weaker them in this way. Thi
method is not barred, and according TO th,
article by Mr.. Naughton, Corbett Will mo-
have the easy thing that many seem to ez
pect.

THE HORSE SHOW

John I. Sabin of San Francisco, president
of the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, has made donation of cup for one of
the events of the horse show to be held in
this city in the early part of next year, and
promises to be on hand to attend the show.
Among Others who have offered prizes are
w. E. Lester, nephew of Senator John P.
Jones, who has accepted vice presidency;
and Byron Erkenbrecher, who has taken
lively interest in horse show matters.
The horse show people are very much
pleased at the rates allowed them by the
Southern Pacific company on exhibits COM
ing to the horse show. In the case of the
San Francisco horse shows the Southern
Pacific company allowed one-half rate on
livestock exhibited, and proposed to make
the same allowance on exhibits at the Los
Angeles horse show. At the earnest solic-
itation of the directors of the horse show,
however, the railroad company extended
the rate to include all vehicles as well as ami
mails exhibited at the local horse show,
which will bd o. material help in bringing
down the fine turn-outs of the Burlingame
and San Francisco gentlemen.
Recent letters from Henry ]. Crocker,
Walter S. Hobart, George A. Newhall and
others show that lively interest is being
taken in the Los Angeles horse show by the
gentlemen who have made such success
in the horse shows in San Francisco. South
coming miles to see when these gentlemen
from above shall bring their fine turn outs
to the exhibition.
William Prdham, superintendent of
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express in this city, is
an enthusiastic admrer of horse shows, and
was present every evening last year at the
Madison-square Garden horse show in New
York. He declares it one of the grandest
sights that he ever had the pleasure of wit
Messing and saws: "If anvhodv in Tos n
geles wants to know what horse show is
send him to me-" In fact, horse shows have
become SO popular in the east that there is
talk Of forming horse show circuit, after
the manner Of race meetings. to include
points like Boston, New York, Philadelphia
and Pittsburg and points west of Pittsburg
like Chicago, Kansas City and st. Louis. =
1t is difficult to conceive how there could
he a greater educator in the line Of fine
horses and equipages than . circuit Of thii
sort, where prize winners will be carried
from one place to another and people viii
be enabled to see the highest product Of
modern horse breeding and carriage build
ing.

FRIGHTENED BY A MALTESE CAT
Clerk In Piano Store Unnerved by
Tabby's Crossing Keyboards

A piano store, where professionals and
amateurs gather day after day, gliding their
fingers over the keyboards, giving snatches
OF some calsslc composition and where
sometimes the salesman is an expert on the
Dlack and white ivor1es, and where priIna
donna occasionally drops into singing an
aria to her own accompaniment, seems to
be desirable enough place to drive the dull
cares OF business away. And yet there is
secretary OF piano company in this city
whose experience in all his musical surround
lngs on certain occasion not long time
ago was decidedly unpleasant and uncanny
This secretary found himself overcrowded
with business one day and concluded to fin
ish it at the store after supper. 1t was dark
and he lighted the gas. The room was filled
with pianos of all kinds Of makes and quail
lties. But not sound was heard save the
little rustling that came from the move
ments OF his pen on paper He became abb
sorbed in his task and had not time to muse
on the genii of departed days who might
be fitting about in this musical atmos-
phere, anxious to express their emotions or
thoughts by the manipulation of keyboard
Presently he was disturbed in his prosaic
drudgery by the distinct striking of a key
from one of the instruments close by him.
He looked up from his desk in surprise. That
was note and it was the key of A. He was
musician enough to be assured of that. But
nobody was to be seen. He remembered dis
tinctly that coming into the sore he had
locked the door behind him, and the back
door by all rules and regulations of the house
must have been securely locked.
He arose to investigate. He had not walked
two PAGES when the sound was repeated
this time apparently from some other in
strument, and the single note struck was
not A, but G.. He now became little ner-
vous, but looking in the direction whence
the sound had come, could discern nothing.
Walking further on toward the rear of the
store the sound again fell upon his ears-a
single note, but this time it was F. Some

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-TEe Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says
The stock markets here opened good, but
business was restricted on account of the
holiday (All Saints day. tomorrow, aud
ness in the Paris bourse. 1t Is difficult to
say how far the Paris bourse is affected
by politics and how far by dearer money.
This is option day in Paris and contangoes
promise to be stiff there tomorrow. French
rentes, which throughout the recent polit-
ical scares have barely moved fraction,
fell half a point today. Americans were
the best market today, but the close was
under the best. Copper shares were strong
on the rise in the price Of the metal. The
buying was almost entirely English, the

The general tone here late this evening Is
decidedly cautious, partly explainable by
the holiday tomorrow, but also partly due
to the impression that the Fashoda ques-
