---l-----l- ---7'-'-''-l The Stock Market.

New York, Sept. 23.-There was only a ripple here and there on the surface of to-days market. There were wide gaps in the list of usually active stocks and the prominent securities which moved at all did so in q sluggish and hesitating manner and on a small vol ume of trading. The bears seemed to have the upper hand at the opening, and clipped the price of St. Paul a point in addition to the 21A per cent. dividend which was taken off to-day. General Electric new stock, Sugar, Met ropolitan Street Railway and People s Gas all showed declines ranging from a sharp fraction up to nearly 11a per cent. Sugar showed resistance and drifted back to the neighborhood of last nights closing price.
 With that the market fell into tor DOT, the bears being discouraged from further operations in face of the hard ness of prices and the easier tendency of the money market, and the bulls be- ing disinclined to renew the campaign until conditions in the money market become more settled. Some reliance has been placed upon the dawning in- terest in Americans which was becom- ing manifest on the London exchange as a help to the next bull campaign But New York's demand upon London for gold and the consequent stiffening of the money rate there, which went to per cent. to-day for call loans and 2A GA per cent. for private discount, has brought speculation in London to a standstill. Americans have fallen flat there, along with the other markets. There were movements in individual stocks to-day, but the market as a whole presented a waiting attitude. To- bacco was weak and sold as low as 147as. The mercurial New York Air Brake dipped 10 points and recovered 7 without any perceptible influence on the general market. Chicago Terminal, Evansville and sTeFre Haute, Central and Southern Pacific and few other comparatively obscure stocks showed noteworthy advances. Peoples Gas was up on the announced settlement of the controversy with the Indiana Nat ural Gas company.
 There was good buying on a small scale of the grangers and the Pacific on the statements of earnings. Net changes in the majority of cases are small and fail to reflect any general conditions of business.

Y. M. c. A, vs. HILLHoUsE.

At Yale field this afternoon at 3:30 the Y. M. c. A. eleven will line up against the Hillhouse team for the first game of the season. The game will be a short one owing to the fact that the men have not as yet become hardened and are in consequence not able to withstand much hard work. The Y. M. c. A. team boasts of some old college men, who have played good football, and the men in general are somewhat heavier than those of the Hillhouse eleven. The Hillhouse men have been practicing steadily and faithfully for the past week and although light com- pared with the team of last year will be able to play a hard, snappy game. The lineup of the Y. M. c. A. team for the first half will be: Keast, cen ter; Beck and Mack, guards; Mayer and Sughrue, tackles; Aggett and Hopkins, end; Kenna, quarterback; Mills and German. halves, and Williams, full back. Chances will be made in the line up as the game progresses in order to give each candidate an opportunity tc show his ability. Among the substi- tutes are Peck, Hitchcock. Embler, Watrous, Smith, Austin and Brothers.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONyEN
 TON.

Committee Will Meet Today to Pre-
 pare a Call.
 The committe selected by the last county convention to decide upon the time and place of holding the next county convention will hold a meeting in this city today and it is expected that 1t will arrange to hold the county convention in Ansonia. Supporters of MT. Tomlinson claim that although Walter Leigh has apparently secured a majority of the delegates to the con- vention, enough supposed Leigh dele gates have already signifed their in- tention of voting in the convention for MT. Tomlinson to secure to the latter the nomination for sheriff Walter Leigh, however, laughs at this claim. He says that he has now pledged to him 57 out of the 105 delegates in the convention. These 57 are distributed as follows:
 New Haven 25, Meriden g, Water bury Il, Guilford 4, North Haven 2, Mount Carmel 2, Naugatuck l, Pros- pect 2, Northford 1; total 57.

OLDEST CEMETERY.
It is Located at Brewster's Neck-Many
 Old Tombstones.

Old Tombstones.
 Edward Cook, of Brewsters Neck, writes to the Norwich Record: Tn last Saturdays Record I noticed an article by Nathan D. Bates saying that the old burying ground near Preston City was the first one established in Preston. His information, think, was wrong, as in the Brewster cemetery at Brewster's S Neck is buried Mrs. Lucretia Brewster, who came to Plymouth, Mass, on the Mayfower in 1920; her husband, Jona- than Brewster, following the next year. They came to New London in 164S-9 and moved to Brewster's Neck in 1650 MT. Brewster, who was a son of Elder Will liam Brewster, died in 1861 and his wife in 1871. The foot stone that marked the grave of Jonathan Brewster is still in existence and the lettering on it can be distinctly seen.
 Among the succeeding generations of Brewsters as noted on stones that mark their last resting places are the follow ing records:
 Here lies the body of Captain Bene- man Bruster who died April 14th, 1710, aged 80.
 On another, that is evidently the wife of the above. is:
 Here lies the body of Mrs. Bruster, who died May g. 17oe
 Here lies the body of MT. Jonathan Bruster, who died November 20, 17O4, aged 40.

WEST HAVEN BAND.
Was Not Asked to Stop Playing

Was Not Asked to Stop Playing.
 A New Haven gentleman said last evening: ''The report in an evening paper to-day that the National band of West Haven, which very kindly gave a concert at Mrs Pritchard's lawn party last evening. was asked to stop playing, as Private Frank Sherman of the First Connecticut Volunteers was lying very i'll in house not far away, is wholly incorrect. The leader of the band says he received no request to stop playing. If he mad he would have acquiesced at once. The lawn party was given for the benefit of the sick soldiers and the band gave it's services free. The house where the sick man was was about an eighth of a mile distant from the place where the band was playing

pEoh the est nhu NOrthNVcsJ Advances
 Continue Largely im the Former
 Cheerful straln-Yellow Fever Affects
 Trade In the South.
 New York, Sept. 2S-Bradstreets to- morrow will say: Favorable trade de- Velopments manifest themselves chiefly along the lines previously noted. The importance of & large export demand to the country's domestic interests is illustrated by the improved tone and prices of wheat and flour this week, growing out of the better foreign buy ing induced by less favorable Russian crop reports, and apparently continued careful selling by American producers. Raw cotton, on the other hand, reflects probabilities of continued plentiful SUD- plies and rather slow demand in quota tions lower than the lowest point reach ed in the year of depression-1S94
 From the west and northwest advices continue largely in the former cheerful strain. Some relaxation in activity is perceptible in some lines at large mar kets, but the volume of trade as whole is evidently equal to any previ- ous record. At the south low priced cotton and yellow fever quarantine af- feet trade adversely. The presence of troops during the spring and summer at many southern points has been help ful to trade at those points. Favorable conditions n the Pacific coast are most numerously reported in the state of Or egon and Washington. Conservative management earlier in the year, how ever, has resulted in fairly good condi- tions in California, where crops were less favorable than further north, and failures are down to a minimum. At the east the least favorable reports con- tinue to come from the textile indus tries. Wool is quiet and manufacturers are not buying in large quantities Ac- tivity in iron and steel manufacture continues unabated, and similar condi- tions are reported in the leather mar ket.
 Bank clearings continue to furnish a fairly accurate measure of the coun- try's business, and the outlook appar- ently favors a total for September lit tie below that of September year ago. Business failures in the United States for the week number 1892, against 173 last week, but compared with 2S7 in this week a year ago, 231 in 1896, 198 in 1895 and 204 in 1S90
