have unearthed a prehistoric cemetery
The remains of a race of dwarfs not al

RALLY IN, STOCKS.
Bradstreets Comment Upon I'M
provement In Market.


NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-Bradstreet's in
morrow will say:
prices improved this week, the stock
market showing a rally from the depres-
sion caused by tight money and the
South African war. Early in the week
a better tone appeared in the loan mar
ket. rates for money on call declining
to 4d5 per cent, with per cent as the
extreme. The completion of the large
settlements connected with the Central
Pacific reimbursement also relieved the
money market from fears of further gen.
eral disturbance of loans, and it would
appear that large interests were encour-
aged to give renewed support to and ad-
vance their specialties. The movement
attracted some outside purchasing, but
commission houses have not been active
and the trading was largely of profess
sional description and origin. The buy
ing power was, in fact, mainly supplied
by large short interest, which had &C
cumulated during the past month. 1t
would seem to nave been much larger
than was generally supposed, and at the
beginning of the week leading operators
who have been active on the bear side
of the account, made strenuous efforts
to continue the decline and to force
liquidation. They attacked the special
ties and the induStrlalS, put, though GER
tain stocks sold down sharply under such
pressure, the general list responded
quickly to moderate buying orders.
The market at the same time is SEN
sitive to the financial conditions here
and abroad. 1t did not escape attention
that the easier tone in the New York
money market is calculated to facilitate
a movement of gold from this side to
London, which the temporary falling off
Of grain exports. the scarcity of CONNER
cial bills of exchange and the rise Of
sterling rates to 1872 rendered a posi-
bility The fact that the London money
market is being carefully tended and
kept free from disturbance as prepara-
ton for an expected war loan might in
volve the Bank of England's taking adj
vantage of these exceptional conditions
and procuring some millions of gold from
New York. 1t was, of course, recogniz d
that such a movement could not be very
large, nor continue for any time, yet the
stock market was inclined to watch this
part of the situation with much atten-
ton. The firmness of the London stock
market continued, and there was even
some buying at times from that quarter.

crime, was promptly roped to stake and
burned to a crisp, while the citizens
locked on in grim silence.
Another negro, Bob Smith, was saved
just in the nick of time, as some doubt
existed as to his guilt.
The Gambrel tragedy occurred early
Thursday, and it was first thought that
the fire was the result of accident. A
casual investigation revealed clrcum,
stances so suspicious that more search,
ing investigation was made, and 1T was
soon established beyond doubt that the
family had been murdered and the house
fired with the torch of an incendiary.

possible clue. Before the posses left St.

last evening Lef1ore was captured several
miles from the scene of the murder. At

down completely and confessed that he
