British government is massing a very

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 19.-Only a few days
in the history of the stock exchange can
offer such record Of dullnesS and
apathy as that of today The Indus
trials still continued to lead the market
in volume of transactions, but even in
them business was comparatively insig-
nificant The small acute depression eX-
listing in foreign exchanges on account
of fears that there is possibility for
mischief in the Anglo-French contro-
versy over the title to the Upper Nile
was reflected here and drove prices
down sharp fraction at the opening.
The market was so utterly sluggish and
apathetic that there was no possibility
of retrieving this early decline, and
prices dragged along at the lower level
throughout the day. Not the least dis
ouieting feature of the weakness of Sc
curities in foreign markets is the vague
ness Of the explanations. All the ia
yorable factors i'll the business outlook
are ignored, and there is no aggressive

wilmington Messcnger)
Every dpy develops more lawlessncss
in this city, outrageous acts more flag
rant in character, pcrpetratcd by black
savages.
Yesterday afternoon about ] O'Clock
the intersection of Seventh and Nun
streets was the scene Of vile act. On
the northwest corner of the streets
stand the Gregory Institute, and It was
right in the pale Of this school that the
deed was perpetrated. Mr. w. II. Hall
was driving one of the delivery wagons
Of the John l.. Boatwright grocery com
pany and was passing along by the
school when a large brickbat was hurled
from amongst crowd of negro boys
congregatcd on the opposite corner. The
rock narrowly missed hitting Mr.. Hall
in the head, which would, no doubt,
have proven deadly. and then hit viO-
lently on n box in the wagon.
Mr.. Hall at once stopped the wagon
and attempted to ascertain the mis-
creant. His efforts proved futile, al
though he offered five dollars to any one
who would point the reprobate out. This
is just another act of black corruption
of Wilmington, but hereafter when SINH
