THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Oct. 24.-The market gave
convincing evidence today of a sub
stantial growth of bull sentiment in
Wall street. The dealings took on
more appearance of animation than at
any time since the violent downward
course of prices when the money situa-
ton first began to. awaken anxiety.
Almost every department of the
market was represented in the ad-
vance Handsome gains in prices
were achieved in many prominent
stocks and in large number of them,
the last prices were best. In other
cases profit-taking made notable in
roads upon the days highest prices,
and some effort was obvious in sus-
tanning the market in the closing deal
ings. 1t was a noticeable feature of
the market also that while a number
of members of a distinctive group of
stocks would show great strength and
activity other members of the same
group seemingly dependent on the
same influences would remain quies-
cent and almost immovable,
Thus while Louisville and the Nor
folk stocks advanced vigorously, other
conspicuous southern lines of railroads
were quite unaffected Again while
the grangers as rule were strong and
u,
and the Pacific stocks, including
Southern Pacific, showed very slight
response to the prevailing strength.
The New York, Chicago and ST. Louis
stocks were subjected to rather pal
pable manipulation, the first preferred
rising an extreme points and the sec
ond preferred 6 points. New York
Central was also vigorously bulled to
lao, The high priced specialties, in
Guiding Sugar, Tobacco and Peoples
Gas and the local traction stocks were
all Of them quite aggressively strong.
The largest activity was in the
leather stocks, and the buyers in them
continued until the close, the common
crossing 10 and the preferred touching
81. This enumeration includes the
most conspicuous instances of strength.
There was at the same time a notable
backward movement in Pullman, Lac
lede Gas and Anaconda, which showed
net declines respectively of IL and 2
points, American Mailing and one or
two of the Iron and Steel stocks also
reacted and Glucose sugar preferred
dropped three points in spite of the
strength of the common stock. How
far the days strength was due to COW
ering by the short interest which COM
mon credence places at still large pro-
portions it would be difficult to say.
The public had little to do with to-
days rise, but professional operators
Of a large calibre took a conspicuous
and confident part in the market The
termination Of the yacht races permits
of increased attention to the market by
some large operators. The continued
downward course of sterling exchange
affords relief from all apprehension Of
gold exports. But no prospect is dis
cernible of easier money conditions.
The exchanges continued to move in
favor Of the interior as against New
York.
There was heavy buying of Green
Bay incomes at an advance of 2M. The
bond market otherwise was moderately
active at advancing prices. Total sales.

MARKET NOTES.

The bulls got quite a move on yes
terday morning, and by noon they had
prices marked on most of the good
stocks, The feeling was distinctly bet
ter. England's certainty of victory in
the Transvaal makes cheaper money
surer and the bears have laid a first
class bottom for a bull movement.
1t is reported that within q year, at
least $4,000 men viii be employed in
the copper mines near Calumet. This
new strike must be a, fine one. 1t is
said that the Calumet & Hecla Com
pany will employ no less than $4,000
new men before the middle of next sum-
mer. 7ts,
Although spot lake copper has sold at
17%c. for some outside holdings, the
market is now quoted little firmer,
with 1Sc. named for lake brands. Of
ferings have become more restricted,
and a better tone is apparent among
sellers.
Exports of copper last week We're 1893
tons, and since Oct /, foot up 60SS
tons.
Gold exports are less talked of on
account Of the reduction by the Bank
Of England in the selling price of gold
and the easing off of interest rates in
London.

Morrison, Kekewich & Co. write Co

is every promise of further large in

ers have got accustomed to the pres

tracted for 100000 tons of steel rails

Notwithstanding the price steel
rails are now bringing, the Penn

tracted for 100000 tons at $33. The or

year for all the rails ordered. This
contract of President Casset's may not
be such a bad one after all 1t is
pretty certain that steel will not drop

SIX THOUSAND FRENCH.
Census Shows Southbridge
Has a Big Gallo Pop
ulation.

Southbridge, Oct. 23-The following
interesting facts come from a recent
census taken of the French population
of southbridge by Rev. L. A. Langlois
and Rev. ]. H. Desrochers of Notre
Dame church. They find the whole
French population 5000 persons; number
of families, 114Oi number who have
made first communion, 1850.
Foot ball has evidently taken a slump
in Southbridge, as none of the teams
appear to be even particularly alive,
the high school team has apparently
gone out of the business and the inter
est in the Co. X team that had con-
siderable good foot ball material, seems
now to have disappeared. The only To-
cal team that appears to be alive is
the team called the Tigers" and they
are able to put up a very good article
in the way of foot ball, but haye hard
work finding teams to play. 1t is UNI
fortunate they could not have had a
game Saturday, as the ideal day would
have assured big attendance.

Wheat opened steady at &c over Sat
urdays close, Liverpool holding its own
in spite Of the weakness of American
markets Saturday the steadiness over
there being accounted for by the relaxa-
ton of the selling pressure, which has
been such factor for the past few days
Corn was decidedly strong in LiverpooI
to which our market responded and, led
by corn, everything In the grain line adj
vanced. Local houses were the best buy-
ers with the foreign contingent selling
a little but not enough to check the mar,
ket The worlds wheat shipments for the
week were $4,000, against S,gS8,00 the
week last year. H. w. receipts are falI-
ing off, being 1913 cars today against 1455
same day last week and 1904 last year
The change in the visible supply was NOT
so much as expected the increase being
100000 bushels. Liverpool closed steady
at from A-3sd higher and the compare
tive smallness of the increase and the
visible helped the American markets. Inc

Baskerville, Oct 23.-Work was COM
menced today upon the erection of a
drinking fountain for man, horse and
dog, on Main street, nearly opposite
the Catholic church. The fountain is
the gift of Mrs. Albert L, Fisher, a

were filled with deeds of kindness.

trough from it's former location when

them All humane people will appre-

firm of J. w. Fiske New York, and it's
erection and connection with the water
supply is being done under the general
direction of Scion F. Smith & Son,

in question were circulated. The police
maintained that wise silence that tells
of clue up the sleeve. 1t has ali come
to naught, however, for without putting
on any disguise, Mr.. Winslow found his
team, safe and sound in Spencer. The
