EASTERN MARKETS
NcdU York Stock Market.

NEW YORK. Oct 3.-The disturbed condi-
ton of the foreign markets for securities and
the upward tendency Of foreign discounts
caused a break in prices at the opening Of
the Stock Exchange here. The selling move
Inent was quite active IN the first hour and
prices for the cay, I'm the majority, We're made
in that tine. There was some pressure later
But prices generally We're better by the end Of

carried above that OF last night. both in the
railroads and industrial department. No large
offerings were brought out by the advance and

q slight setback in prices. They hardened again
etagnant market and only slightly below the
best of the day. There is q mixture of gains
and losses throughout the list. There was con-
siderable calling OF loans in the early hours BY
legal limit. But the money rate did not get
above 20 per cent during this period, and at the
afternoon furry 1t had fallen back again 70 6
per cent. 1t was after clock when the rate
spurted to 40 per cent, ana then dropped back
again before the close The urgent demand for

in large volume. Call loan rates at neghboring
financial centers showed some disposition to ad-
vance to-day. But the severe strlngency seems
confined TO New York and to a narrow specu-
latiVe circle in the stock market. There is no
evidence as yet Of any disturbance OF the course
OF general business for lack of money. The
action OF the London and Berlin markets to-day
and the weekly return of the Imperial Bank

TEXAS OSTRICH FARM.
Visit Described to Interesting Locali

Visit Described to Interesting Locality By Young Recruit.
 Ostrich raising is new industry in Texas, and pioneers in the movement are meeting with success. For some time in southern California ostrich farms have been conducted.
 The following letter published by the Bristol Press is from a young recruit to his aunt. Mrs. Lou H. Bradley of Maple Lawn, Whigyille:
 Post Hospital Fort San Houstan,
 San Antonio, Tex, Oct 22, 1898.
 My Dear Aunt Lou-I am getting better of typhoid fever, and begin to like army life, only the inactivity. I wish they would send us to the front or give us active service somewhere. Tuesday last two of us took trip to an Ostrich Farm just on the outskirts of the city. There were four. three months old, ten full grown and eight little ostriches one just matched. The little ones were marked like growing turkeys on neck and part way up their sides, and their backs are covered with quills from two to three inches long. They presented the appearance of porcupine's back. So you can imagine how funny they look. They grow a foot month until they reach maturity They are about the color of awgray turkey until the age of eighteen months when the males all turn black, except the tip of the wings which are pure white. One of the oldest ones, and the largest, magnificent bird, carried about four hundred black tips, and from four to five dozen white ones. The eggs are from four to five inches long and from three to four inches through They showed us some with the inside blown out. They use them for painting on as they are smooth and large enough surface to put quite little sketch on The lady in charge showed us two white tips, one nearly three feet long and seven inches wide. The price was thirteen dollars. The other one a little smaller, was eleven dollars. They were the handsomest things I ever saw in the line of feathers. I will give a descrip- ton of the houses and Post headquar- ters in my next.
 Your loving nephew,
 Frank.

HONEY CROP FAILURE.

| There is much Encouragement among
 the bee keepers of Clinton and vicinity because of the failure of the honey
 crop, as it is usually termed. Some of the colonies are so short of stores that they have not enough food to carry them through the winter The cause of this scarcity of honey lies in the fact that the dry weather made the clover yield poor, and then later the dry spell caused the golden rod and asters to give
 no nectar to the bees, so that many bee
 keepers hereabouts have secured very
 little, if any, surplus honey.
 The only remedy that remains, and that will bring the bees safely through
 the winter, is to feed them bountifully
 with warm syrup before packing them in close winter quarters; and then, when
 some mild February days come, feed
 the bees again more warm syrup, for
 about that time the queen, if she is a
 good one, will begin laying eggs for her
 first brood and warm syrup is the best
 stimulant for early brood rearing On
 this early brood depends the success of
 the colony for the season, for if hive is well populated with vigorous young
 bees when the first honey flow comes, and if the season be fair, the bee keep CT is assured a profitable season. Cold and i'll nurtured colonies during the winter are sure in the spring to die off from dwindling or from disease
 In this region and in many others the two past seasons have been poor for the bee keepers, but good honey year is looked forward to for next year, so it behooves all interested in the honey business to get their colonies of bees in good condition for next spring. Many old-time bee keepers consistently refuse to resort to artificial means for rebuild ing colonies, but the most successful bee keepers have proved that nature must be assisted in keeping bees suc- cessfully. It is indeed true that bees in the woods live through the hardest of winters, but no one knows how many swarfns in the woods die iron, starva- tion, and the successful bee keeper does not want nor can he afford to lose colo nies of bees.
 Some modern bee keepers approve of moving the hives for the winter into a cellar. Others keep them in bee Dul OluciS heep lHelll ouL Ol doors and, by warm packing, unless the hives stand in very exposed position, this last method is the best.
 In the modern hive eight well fI'~A frames of stores will winler a colony. and all colonies should be examined be- fore being fixed for winter to see that they have this amount. If the hives are out of doors, it should be seen to that melting snow, at the entrance of the hives, does not freeze into cake of ice and stop ventilation, for bees should be kept warm from the top and sides of the hive and ventilation should be from below. Another precaution to be taken is to see that wind break is placed be- fore the hive entrance, so as to keep out cold blasts of wind. If the bee keeper prepares his colonies thoroughly for winter he will reap a good harvest Courant.

FIRST M. E. CHuRCH.

At the First M. F. church tomorrow evening Judge L. P. Deming will de- liver for the first time in New Haven his illustrated lecture ''Palestine, the Land of Promise and Expectation, ," The public is cordially invited. The illustrations used were, many of them, taken by the judge during his trip abroad. The lecture itself is very in teresting and entertaining, and is giv- en from the point of view that Pales- tine was a land of promise for a people especially prepared to occupy it. It is the Land of Promise for all Christian People, and it is the Land of Expecta- tion for Hebrews all the world over. Its sacred places are sacred to the world and the judge has a pleasant way of leading his hearers over the Journey as he took it.
 In the morning H. H. Benedict will make some remarks of special interest to the members of the First church.
