STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, September 15.--Very large

stocks and bonds to-day, and the apathy
and depression which hung over the
stock market during practically all of the
morning were completely dissipated. Even

When these isolated cases of weakness
were eliminated from the market the
whole list mounted vigorously upward
and it was evident that bull movement
was in full force again The late I'M
easiness over the future of the money
market had completely disappeared.
Ruling rates were not lower. but entire
confidence was felt that they would
not go higher. The calculations of treas
ury officials that the payments of the
balance of subscriptions on account of
the new bond issue would make no
further demands upon the money market
and the additional decline in exchange,
both continental and sterling, were the
factors which served to relieve appre-
hension. There were no reactions of any
Importance during the day and the clos
ing was firm and generally near top
prices.
The increased confidence in the money
market outlook was reflected in the bond

COTTON.
New York. September 15.-The loss of
prices shown by our cotton market yes
terday met with a full response by the
Liverpool market as indicated by the
opening cables, which reported a decline
of 1-32d in spot quotations and 12-64d in
futures. The first call showed n steady
feeling with near months ] point lower
to / point higher and the more remote
deliveries 2li3 points higher. Following
the opening call the market took a gen
eral level 1GI2 points above the closing
figures of last evening. But later cables
showed more pronounced weakness in
the Liverpool market futures which
finally closed barely steady aJ q net loss
of 115(d2-64d and prices sold off here
to the extent of 609 points from the
best figures of the afternoon. A further
decline was prevented by covering, sup
plemented by a little careful buying on
investment account. For the most part,
however, the longs were disposed to
liquidate and the market was thus pre-
vented from making wide changes in
either direction. There was some buying
by commission houses on the weaker in
tervals. Liquidation of january con-
tracts early was something of a feature
Private cables stated that the English
cotton market was being weakened by
heavy offerings direct from the South
In the afternoon the market ruled less
active and was finally steady at net
loss of Gas points.

The war scare of Sunday had no more
of truth and reason to recommend it
than those of the secular days of the
week. Boston bulletins and special edi-
tons, announcing that war had been de-
clared and all Americans warned to
leave Havana, were enough to material
ly disturb the characteristic serenity Of
a Worcester Sunday, and to choke the
sidewalks with people. But it was all
for naught. Up to date, two facts
alone remain uncontradicted: First,
Spain's request for the recall of Consul
General Lee and for the substitution of
merchant vessels for war ships in trans
porting relief supplies to Cuba; second.
President McKinley's refusal of both
requests. The most sensational stories
had their origin in the active brain of
some over-zealous special correspon-
dent, who hoped TO manufacture a
scoop. He succeeded Nobody. else had
the news. 1t is useless now to speculate
as to the results of these developments
1t is enough to be assured that the
president was amply justified in refus-
ing Spain's requests.

A novel pension bill is that which pro-
vides for monthly stipend of fifty
dollars for the Hon. John A. Bingham
of Ohio, who, as judge advocate, pre-
sided at the trial of Mrs. Surratt and
others implicated in the assassination of
President Lincoln, whose personal
friend he was. He framed the articles
of Impeachment on which President
Johnson was tried, and he is reputed to
have drawn the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution. At the age of 81
years. he is living in poverty at the lit
tie town of Cadiz, Ohio, without other
means of support than the $500 which he
derives from the rent of two country
stories. He spent almost his entire life
in the public service, but he left that
service as poor as he entered it. He
had been in congress for sixteen years
previous to his appointment as minis
ter to Japan, position which he held
for twelve years, retiring to private life
in 1885. He has held other appoint
ments, but those named are the most
important. Since retiring he has occa-
sionally praeticed his profession of the
law. Civil pensions are not much in
favor, either at Washington or in the
country at large but it will hardly be
denied that Judge Bingham's case
rather appeals to popular sympathy.

Not only is Capt. Sigsbee an inventor,
having won a British medal and the de-
coration of the double red eagle of Prus-
sia for his deep sea sounding machine,
but he once enjoyed some reputation as
caricaturist- The now defunct New
York Graphic, to which he contributed
anonymously, tried hard to engage him
as a permanency, till it was discovered
that he was a naval officer and the i'm
possibility of the enterprise was made
manifest. 1t is interesting to read that
his exploit with the Maine, last July,
when he ran her into a pier and
smashed it, rather than cut an excur-
sion steamer in two, is not the only re-
markable instance of his presence of
mind in the midst of dangers. Some
years ago he was in command of the
United States steamer Blake, of the
coast survey service, in a West Indian
port. The anchors refused to hold, dur
ing a fierce storm, and in order to save
the ship from being wrecked on a
neighboring reef, where she would sure
ly be pounded to pieces, he opened a
hole in the hull and sunk her on the soft
sand The vessel was subsequently
raised, at much less expense than would
have been imposed by the building of a
new ship. AS somebody has remarked,
"Sigsbee is a man who absolutely does
not know what it is to lose his head"
