THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-sATURDAY SEPTEMBER
THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review,

New York, Sept. 2S.--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 sluggish and hesitating man
ner and on a small volume of trading.
The bears seemed to have the upper hand
at the opening and clipped the price oil
st. Paul point in addition to the 2la per
cent. dividend which was taken off today.
General Electric new stocks, Sugar, Met
ropolitian Street railway and Peoples
Gas all showed declines ranging from
sharp fraction up to nearly 112 Sugar
showed resistance and drifted back TO the
neighborhood of last nights closing price
With that the market fell into torroT
the bears being discouraged from further
operations in face of the harness OF prices
and the easier tendency of the money
market, and the bulls being disinclined to
renew the campaign until conditions in
the money market become more settled.
The total sales were 255, 200 shares.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Wheat today abated
a good deal of its recent bullishness and
closed at a decline of about &C. in De-

New York, Sept 23.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Review Of Trade will say tomor-
row:
Europe will have to consider possible
American demands for money much
more anxiously in the future. Doubt
less there has been for many years a
feeling that the new continent could
be put off with promises. But the con-
troll Of this country over money mar
exits in the old world is coming to be
that of a master. Our banks lend over
there heavily when it Is the most con-
venient market for them, but they draw
on Europe whenever they want money
and no longer have occasion to limit
their drafts.
This country is not drawing on Eu-
rope as largely to pay for breadstuffs
as 1t did year ago and yet wheat ex-
ports for the week, -four included, have
been 3,963,204 bushels from Atlantic
ports against 3,667,s6S last year. and
543,4l7 from Pacific ports against L.
094,s93 last year, making for eight
weeks 10,20S, 941 from both coasts, -four
included. against 19.569129 last year.

that such extraordinary activity exists

Is excellent. Even in eastern markets
II is commonly said that no larger
trade has ever been known unless in
1892, but the western cities are running
things much after their own taste this
year, having greater advantages than
ever before in heavy bank balances and
while the exchanges for the week fall
below those of last year 3.5 per cent,
they are 1871 per cent. larger than in
the same week in 1892. The iron and
steel trade expands with a rapidity
which throws into the shade all eX-

NE HAD SEM A PETRIFIED FOREST.
Moss made his clerk watch the store and
both OF US started on run for the creek.
when VIC got there, everybody was boil
ing with excitement About 100 men and
boys were gathered around trench, 4
feet deep, Just below n little spring. The
man was bc.sy p.:cd out with crowbars.
The first thing that struck you WIS that
he must have been magnificent specimen
when he was alivc. Tho fossil, or, rather,
petrifaction, was 0 feet Q or inches long
and perfectly proportioned. Nearly every
part OF the dead man had been preserved,
even to the finger nails. The petrifaction
vas hard. gray limestone, like the rocks
about the peighborhood. The man must
have weighed in lifo between $50 and goo
pounds. while the pctrifaction, I reckon,
weighed 200 or 1900. The thing was 60
hfelike that IL was ghastly.
Todd he'd Como out In the morning to
rake leaves and rubbish from tho spring
In bis pasture. In scraping Asog,pd with

cane on rusty ramrod, piece Of gun
lock and what looked like . brass button
OF . soldiers uniform. About this time
his spade struck the pcfrificd mans foot
and knocked OF the big toe. As soon as
Todd Rad uncovered the thing far enough
20 SEQ what IL was, he felt sick and went
TO the house. He lay down on a lounge,
and sent the boys out with neighbor to
anish digging the find up.
"Befofc noon half tho population IN
town had taken q squint at the petriflcd
man. The Todds decided they had good
thing and moved Sandy o. they began
90 call the petriflcd man, up to Q vacant
