Sir Thomas Lipton's call Lieutenant Brumby and the admirars son, George J. Dewey were with him. Sir Thomas met the admiral at the starboard gang way with his friends and the entire party went to the after cabin where the health of the admiral, the Sham rock, and of course the Columbia, was drunk amid enthusiasm The admiral remained on board for nearly half an hour, and then started for his ship. The Erin's crew began to cheer and as his launch drew away the entire ships company. guests, officers, crew, ser. wants, Singalese and all, led by Sir Thomas, with ''hip, hip, hip," gave three honest cheers, the kind that were heard from the British warship in Ma nila bay. Admiral Dewey waved his gold bound cap like a schol boy as he stood on the rail of his little white canopied launch and was given q hearty welcome in his own home waters by hundred foreigners.
 Admiral Dewey proposed. unless his plans shall be changed by the recep- tion committee, to bring the Olympia up the lower bay and anchor inside the harbor with the squadron of United States warships off Tompkinsville, of which squadron he is now in superior command

I'll F STOCK MARX FIT.
Dull and Listless in Character Yester-

| New York, Sept. 25.-The stocl ] market continued dull and listless il | character to-day Several favorable in l cidents imparted an undertone oi l strength and discouraged operators fol | a decline. But the soaring tendency ot | the money rate discouraged all specu | lative demand on the long side and the | day closed with nearly all stocks show | ing losses. The incident which at tracted most attention was the en-
 gagement in London of s1, 1000, 900 in gold for New York. Prices rose to the high est on this announcement and for a number of stocks reached a level above yesterdays close. But money rose up wards by quick stages to 20 per cent.
 and the heaviness of the market was
 renewed The gold enga cement in face
 of the frmness of exchange is obvious
 ly based on the expectation that the
 money rate. will continue high until the
 receipt of gold makes it available in
 this market, when the profit of the
 loaning rate may make good the loss
 which all authorities agree is involved
 in the simple importation. The course
 of the local money market to-day con-
 tradicts the assertions made yesterday
 that the higher rate was due to manip-
 ulation. The present and prospective
 condition of the money market is un-
 deniably tight. Rates advanced not
 only here but at other domestic points
 both east and west. New York ex-
 change at other points shows continued
 pressure on this center for money and
 the only source of relief al present sug-
 gested is the expenditure in New York
 by visitors to the Dewey celebration
 The fact of a three days holiday ap-
 preaching had it's influence also on the
 prevailing dullness The series of rail-
 road statements which appeared to-day
 was a real and effective prop tn the
 market and undoubtedly induced some good buying from substantial interests such as are not dependent on borrowed money. The overnight statement of St. Paul for the third week in Septem-
 Der showing an increase over last years unprecedented level of $52,00O led the list. Even more striking was the statement of the Atchson system for August showing increase in the income from operations of $70S, ,S93, a result due in large part to the heavy decrease in operating expenses. In the cases of Erie and Southern Railway, in spite of liberal increases in operating expenses, there was an increase in net earnings for the former of S221, 1862 and for the latter of $1S0, 375. The weeks eastbound tonnage from Chicago was reported as 190,394 as compared with 3S,oSS in the week last year. Busi- ness on all the trunk lines was report ed on an unprecedented scale. These facts gave the undertone of firnness to the market, the stocks especially af- fected being those whose reports were published. The new cases of yellow
