Fred {. Carpenter Tax Collector For 1897
and 1888, VIII FIJI Vacancy.
ELLERY H. WILSON MAKES STATEMENT
Re Said That Many Of The People Of The Town Did
Not Seem 10 Understand The Matter Un-
founded Stories Circulated.

Mr.. George f. Hunter tax collector of
East Providence for the years 1898. 1894,

to the East Providence town council
yesterday afternoon. and il was accept
ed. Mr.. Fred L.. Carpenter. tax coll
lector for the tax assessment of 1897
and 1898, was elected To fill the vacant
position. There is an apparent uncol-
lected balance of between $4,000 and
$500. The list was presented to Mr..
Carpenter. so that he could estimate
how much could be collected.
Hon. Ellery III. Wilson was present
at the meeting and he was given per-
mission to address the council. He
stated that Ii appeared TO him as If
many of the citizens of the town did
not understand the Hunter matter in
its true light. They do not understand
that Mr.. Hunter admitted that he had
received $4,000 more or less, for which
he could not account, saying that he
knew not what had become of it, Mr..
Wilson said people were saying all over
town that they did not believe that
Mr. Hunter had taken any money from
the town and that it was all got up,
and were intimating that others were
mixed up i'm the affair.
There is a great deal of interest in the
affair." and just what the outcome will
be is, at present, impossible to forecast.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 2.-The stock market
had to face this morning the accumu-
lated depression of three days trading
in a sagging market in London, while
the exchange was closed here. The drop
in prices at the opening WAS q wide one,
numerous railroad stocks showing a loss
Of point or over and Tennessee Coal
showing an extreme decline of Z points.
The local traders were inclined to feel
that London was unduly depressed, espe-
cially with reference to American securi-
ties, and they started to bid prices up
again The first loan of the day was
made at per cent, and this encouraged
an optimistic view of the money out
look. The rally was short-lived, and
the course was quite consistently down
ward for the rest Of the day A sharp
advance in the Coalers on the advance
in the price of anthracite was Intellectual
to check the decline. Londan sold, not
only during the first hour, but as long
as offices there We're open for business.
Liquidation from that source reached
between 10000 and $4,000 shares. The
violent decline in British consols had an
important sentimental effect, although
it was afterwards explained that this
was partly due to the expectation Of a
new issue. But the new issue is as sig
nidcant of the practical certainty of war
as any incident that has thus far occur
red, so that the explanation did not
afford relief to the stock market de-
preston. The sharp rise in London dis
count rates caused an advance of * of
a cent in the actual rate for demand
sterling here and had an equally mark
ed effect on the sterling exchange rate
both at Berlin and Paris.
This development is equivalent to no-
tice that London is not prepared ito part
with more gold to New York without
making every possible effort to prevent
it. Long sterling was weak ON selling
against sterling loans.
The local money rate quickly moved
upwards when the renewal of loans car
ried over from last Thursday began to
influence the market. The call loan rate
was carried up TO IL per cent, while the
money market was still in full activity,
1t was then rushed up to 80 per cent.
after which there were violent fiuctua-
tions down to 10 per cent, and up again
to 30 per cent, at which rate the last
loan Of the day was made. The closing

was 81 per cent. bid and 80 per cent
asked. None of the expected relief to
the money market was in sight today.
Inc developments in London lessen the
PROBABILITY of further gold imports and
the condition of New York exchange ait

of the demand for funds from that
source. The money left in the city by
the visitors to the Dewey celebration
was not In evidence in Wall street,

prospect of relief by the speculative
contingent. The Sub-Treasury has

any evidence of decentralization, but last

COTTON.
New York, Oct. 2.-It was a big day.
on the Cotton Exchange The greatest
advance in prices was a matter of 3S
points, and from start to finish the bull
faction was nj control. Fridays queer
doings in the New Orleans market had
led the trade here to look for something
in the way of surprise when the
market opened, more particularly as il
had been rumored that Liverpool shorts
were in full retreat and being closely fol
lowed by jubilant bulls. The initial sales
showed an advance far exceeding the
hopes of the most optimistic holders,
while subsequent business revealed an
intensity of bullish sentiment in outside
speculative circles not even imagined
by the markets best friends. Just previ-
Gus to the opening the superintendent
of the exchange made the unusual re-
fhot hrni y,a fI1lI
when making bids and offers in order
to minimize the possibility of mistakes
and to reduce confusion as much as pos
sible. The stroke of the gavel started
wild wave of speculative activity
which showed little abatement up to
the very close. Opening prices were
IA to % points above the closing Of
Thursday, and though the market re
acted from time to time during the day.
the undercurrent of sentiment favored
still further gains. Bulls We're spurred
on at the start by an advance of to
10 points in futures at Liverpool, coup
led with rumors that spot cotton had adj
vanced in remarkable form during our
holiday interval. Talk of frost having
injured cotton in several parts of the
belt. estimates for much smaller re-
ceipts than last year, as well as further
severe reductions in crop estimates, and
reports of advances in the prices of spot
cotton in the Southern markets added
fuel to the fire of bullish enthusiasm
Prospects of frost for the Western belt
tonight and increasing apprehension
that tomorrow's government bulletin
would be more bullish than generally ex-
npcted. served to check profit taking late
in the day. Those parties who had sold
out Thursday night in the fear of a
slump abroad before our opening today,
re-invested soon after the market open
ed.
The market closed firm at a net gain
of 81 to "a points.
