New York. Sept. 29.-The Evening Posts
London financial cablegram says: There
was a better tone in the stock markets
here to-day, especially In the earlier
hours. the chief feature being a rise in
mining shares. The close was under the
best on the Paris bourse, a trife lower on
the approach of the settlement option day
tomorrow.
Americans were comparatively neglect
ed during the day. but they closed better
on New York support. Canadian Pacific
was weak on the monthly statement Ar
gentines and Brazils were especially
strong as also were copper shares.
Details of the gold movement for the
week show the sale of f169, 900 in Ameri-
can eagles and of el05.O 900 in bar gold and
the shipment of $40. 600 to the continent
and of 10000 to New York.

New York. Sept. 2e.-The Burlington
August statement furnished a lever to-
day to carry prices upward. and this de-
velopment was the only factor of conse-
quence bearing upon the general situation.
1t is true that the industrials. to a con-
siderable extent, dominated the market,
but speculation showed a tendency to ig-
more fluctuations in this group. This cir
cumstance caused some favorable COM
ment, as did also the fact that the gen.
eral list lapsed into dizziness and showed
comparative steadiness when concerted
attacks on the specialties were made. Lon
don quotations Indicated a more favora-
bic disposition toward Americans abroad.
which was reflected in good buying here
throughout the day.
Operations by the bear faction were re-
newed in various directions, with Manhat-
tan looming to the front. Tobacco, OF
course, was the most vulnerable point and
soon yielded TO 125. Covering of shorts put
the price back to 1854 and intermediate
fluctuations between that and the close at
1881 were accompanied by violent dips.
This stock. generally speaking. showed a
better tone and ended for the hrst time
this week with a net advantage.

late in the day. The action of the govern
ment in anticipating the November inter-
est. coupled with early receipts of large
amounts of gold in transit. were RESPONSE
BILE for the decline in rates. Time money
was also quotably easier for the shorter
periods and prime mercantile paper was
discounted at 3S per cent. Considerable
pressure was concentrated against Sugar
as the day drew to a close, but the stock
soon recovered and ended firm in common
with the remainder of the list with net
gains.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-First Assistant
Postmaster General Heath has received
letter from Mrs. Florence v. Swain, of
Ocala, Fla, respecting the condition of Gu
ban refugees in the extreme lower portion
of our southern peninsula. Mrs. Swain is
the active head of the Methodist Home Mis-
sion Society of Florida and asks that a por-
ton of the appropriation for the succor
of the reconcentradoS of Cuba should be
set aside for the relief of refugees now in
Florida. If it is not practicable for Con-
gress to make provision she appeals to the
charitable people of the country for private
contributions and asks that they be adj
fGessed to Mrs. J. H. Dorsey, 901 Florida
avenues Tampa, Fla, where assist
aEce is now being received and distributed
Among other things Mrs. Swain writes
The Cuban bakers have given out hundreds
or loaves of bread daily and soup houses are
opened and ten thousand rations are served
weekly at a cost of $3.50 per week. The mis-
sion schools of the Methodist Church South.
with over two hundred pupils. are assisting.
Children come to school without a mouth
full of food, and must be fed before they can
be taught. The needs are being increased
by the constant incoming of the refugees
from Havana. Many families who were
formerly wealthy are now entirely depend
ent upon charity

The present scramble-for pitchers of merit
being made by Manager Allen and the fail

Shreve and Healey were hardy worked pitch
ers, and Manager Frank Bancroft was at
his wits end to help the matter, when
some one, as a joke, told him that "Old
Larry" Corcoran might be secured from the
Nashville team If a good round figure was
named. Bancroft took the matter seriously,
and nearly paralyzed the Nashville people
by telegraphing an offer of $500 for Cor
coran. AT first it was thought to be prac-
teal joke, as Corcoran was there OH trial
and had been doing poor work. Finally, as
a tester they sent a reply stating that Cor
coran could be, secured for $1,000 and
thought the matter ended. "Banny," not
taking the trouble to look up Corcorans
work, at once telegraphed his acceptance,
and in due time Corcoran reported in this
city A few games only were required TO
lay bare the brass in the gold brick, and
Larry was turned loose For years after
