This big show struck Oxford on Thurs
day last and the old town was overrun with
people to take in the great show and to see
oene more the great and only John Lowlow,

mails which were added to in Oxford by q
carload by express direct from London by
way of New York city, consisting of one
den of Royal Bengal Tigers, one den of
white Polar Bear, a white Persian Llama
and Kangaroos, which made an increase in
the show train of two cars. We had the
Measure of meeting Captain F. B. Wilson,
the gentemanly press agent, who placed US
under obligations for courtesies extended
The circus was composed of $50 people, and
perfect order prevailed during their stay in
Oxford which speaks well for the manage
ment Every one connected with the cir
Gus. SO far as we know, did their best to
please the people AS to the large crowd in
attendance, it was the most orderly one we
ever saw, as we did not hear of single
disturbance, which speaks well FOR our
people.
While here, Miss Katie Kruger, one OF
the finest riders in the show, purchased one
of the fine trained horses of Dave Castello,

Mr.. Louis Gelder Meets Popular De-
mand

In future Gelders will be open all night.
This announcement was made yesterday.
and the al-night system was inaugurated
last night. This move is in keeping with
the times and the forward march of this
rapidly growing city and is Characteristic of
the progressive and popular proprietor, Mr..
Louis Gelders. Mr.. Gelders has always
evinced a desire to meet the demands of
the public to which Is due the fact that his
place is one of the most literally patronized
in the city.
Only a few weeks since Mr. Gelders made
extensive improvements at his place, en-
larging the cooking department, increasing
the facilities for serving his patrons gen.
orally, and renovating the dining room
throughout. Gelders is a credit to the
city, and visitors who come here speak its
praises when they go away. In fact, 1t Is
one of the fixed institutions of Birming-
ham, is entirely first class and up-to-date
in every particular and it goes without say
ing that the enterprising all-nlght opening
feature will prove profitable step.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
New York, October 2o.-Bradstreets in
its financial review of the stock exchange
will say: Prices improved this week, the
stock market showing rally from the de-
preston caused by tight money and the
South African war. Early in the week a
better tone appeared in the loan market
per cent. with 6 per cent. as the extreme
The completion of the large settlements
connected with the Central Pacific readjust-
ment also relieved the money market from
fears of further general disturbance of
loans and it was apparent that large inter
eSts were encouraged to give renewed
support to and advance their specialties
The movement attracted some outside pur-
chasing, but trading was largely of a pro-
fessional character and origin. The buying
power was in fact mainly supplied by
large short interest which had accumulated
during the past month. 1t would seem to
have 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 stFen-
uous efforts to continue the decline and to
force liquidation. They attacked the spec
ialties and industrials, but though certain
stocks sold down sharply under such pres
sure the general list responded quickly to
moderate buying ORDERS. The market, at
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 TINS
side to London which the temporary falling
off of grain exports, the scarcity OF COM
mercial bills of exchange and the rise OF
sterling notes to S4.S719 rendered a proba-
bility. The fact that the London money
market is being carefully tended and kept
free from disturbance as preparation for
an expected war loan might involve the
Bank of England's taking advantage or
these exceptional conditions and procuring
some millions of gold from New YORK. 1t
was, of course, recognized that such
movement could not be very large and con-
tinue for any time, yet the stock market
was inclined to watch this part OF the SIT
uation with much attention.

not to be carried off their feet. In

committee arose. The army appropri-
alton bill was reported by Mr.. Hill,
who gave notice that he would call it
up at the earliest opportunity. At Sis
p. m. the house adjourned.
