| New York, Nov. Ito days stock
market developed a decidedly spotty
character. The railroad stocks fell into
the background again, and the highly
| speculative industrials were brought
| forward into activity. An effort was
made to continue the campaign against
| the shorts in the Iron and Steel stocks,
| but the higher prices in this group
brought out such large sales that the
efforts to advance prices had to be
abandoned The whole group, with the
exception of Tennessee Coal, shows net
losses The latter stock, after dropping
to 116lb, rose strongly to 119 and held
there.
When the movement in the Iron and
Steel stocks proved abortive the bulls
turned their attention to Brooklyn
Transit, which was favorte in specu-
lation for the rest of the day. The
movement in this stock was again di-
rected against the very heavy short in
terest believed to exist in it and the
rapid advance induced large covering
When the rise had extended to above 30
enormous blocks were brought out,
which made it difficult to sustain the
price. The stock rose to 901s, yielded
point, rallied again and again yielded
small fraction. The New York Traction
group was strong in sympathy. The
Leather stocks were also taken up for
a further aggressive advance the COM

and Standard Rope, which were all
strong. Mating preferred dropped
points. Otherwise the trading was not
very active and the movement of prices
was narrow, but changes being mixed
and small. Owing to the holiday i'm
London pressure from that point was
relaxed,
The call money market worked appre-
ciably easier during the afternoon after

induce any large ventures on the long
side in stocks, but the bears were man

Lost to Andover at Yale Field by a
Score of 81 to 0.
The Yale consolidated eleven was de-
feated by the team of the Philips An
dover school at Yale field yesterday by
the score of "a to 0. The visitors fairly
outplayed their opponents, who were
very weak in defense. They made
many Of their gains by mass plays
through the center. The work Of their
backs was excellent, one Of whom scor-
ed a place kick from the field.
The weakness of the Yale consolidat-

deSaulles, Leary, Brock and II. Brown
being played. The Yale coachers dur
ing the game coached the visitors, and
it is thought that Andover played the
game at the formers request.

of position,
The circumstances which attended
| the movements of Lieutenant Colonel
! Cartons column are not yet fully
| known, but from reports received the
column appears to have carried out the
night march unmolested, until within
! two miles of Nicholson's Mex At this
| point two boulders rolled from the hill
and a few rifle shots stampeded the
! infantry ammunition mules The
stampede spread to the battery mules,
which broke loose from their leaders,
and got away with practically the
whole of the gun equipment and the
greater portion Of the regimental small
arm ammunition. The reserve was
similarly lost.
1.-The infantry battalion, however,
fixed bayonets and accompanied by the
| personnel of the artillery, seized q
hill on the left of the road, two miles
! from the Mex, with but little opposi-
ton. There they reamined unmolested
! till dawn, the time being occupied in
organizing the defense of the hill, and
constructing stone sangas and walls
as cover from fire, AT dawn a sltir-
/ lnishing attack on our position was
commenced by the enemy, but made no
way until $50: a. M, when strong re-
inforcements enabled them to rush to
the attack with great energy. Their
fire became very searching, and two
companies Of the Gloucesters, in an adj
vance position were ordered to fall
back. The enemy then pressed to short
range, the loss on our side becoming
very numerous
"At 8 D. m. our ammunition was
practically exhausted, the position was
captured and the survivors of the col
umn fell into the enemy's hands The

RIGHT TO SELL FOR TAXES.

Section 81 Of tie KeTenue Act passed
hv the last General Assembly OF North
Carolina, reads as follows:
"Wbeneyer the taxes shall be due
and unpaid, the sheriff shall immedl-
ately proceed to collect them as follows:
1st. If the party charged have personal
property of the value equal to the taxes
charged against him, the sheriff shall
seize and sell the same as he is required
to sell other property under execution" :"
Now, under this act there is no rea-
son why almost every mans taxes
should not be collected. It a man VIII
nav his taxes when called upon to do
% all tie better but if he will not
than there are o,1!y two things to con-
siaar: First. has he enough property
q any kind to pay the taxes? second
ly. will the tax collect Torce the col
| lection?
II this law is followed strictly there
will be a shorter Insolyent tax list from
the various townships.
A strong, healthy man who can earn
his daily bread in any way, whether he
has property of any Kind or not, ought
to be ashamed to have his name appear
on the delinquent tax list; and tax col
lectors ought not to feel called upon tt
show such people favors above others
THE COMMONWEALTH has no person
al reference to any one, but simply
means to emphasize the fact that mas
much as every citizen in free STATE
like North Carolina has an equal show
ing before the law and Is equally pro
tected in bis person and property uade
the law, SO every man who possibly Cal
do so, rich or poor, ought to pay hi
lust taxes. And no stone should b
left unturned until the taxes are col
lected. The tax collectors have tn
right to sell personal property OF an
kind, and it is their duty to the Stat
to do it.
