THE STOCK MARK EFT.


New York, Sept livery little can
| be said of such a market as that of to-
day beyond the chronicle of the move
ments of Individual stocks. Dealings
represented little else than the amuse-
ment of professional operators. Tele-
graphic communication was much inter
rupted by the storms in the west and
this was proffered as an explanation Of
| the extraordinary dullness. The most
mercurial specialties,, namely, Peoples
Gas, Sugar and Brooklyn Transit, main
tanned their poor prominence in the
market. Before the market closed prices
Of the three had been dragged back to
very near last NIGHTS level.
In the railroad LIST there was some de-
mand for Northern Pacific at an ex-
IRENE advance of point. This seemed
to sustain other railroad stocks, even
st. Paul recovering sharply, in spite Of
the heavy decline in its first week in
September earnings. The Baltimore
and Ohio statement for August depfess-
ed that stock, owing to the large in
crease in the outlay for operating ex-
penses, which served to pull down the
net earnings. The anthracite coalers
were heavy as the period approached
for the decara ton of the miners final
decision on the strike. Reading first
preferred was off point at one time
and New Jersey Central points. The
imminence of the strike probably has
wider influence than the special weak
ness in the coalers would indicate. Lon
don bought stocks here again to-day
and helped the opening rise, the London
market being encouraged by belief in
the Boer collapse and seemingly by the
hope that a renewal of the South Afri-
can gold supply will soon help to relieve
the London money market. Sterling ex-
change in New York reacted again and

rency continues to move freely towards

In the opinion of those who know
them best the outlook for them is

practically no rights. They can
not own land, and prior to re-
cent decision they have not even

the commissioners, all of which
was true. Congress replied to
this appeal by delving into the
treaties with the Indians and
there hndiDg a clause whereby 1t
could deprive the Indian courts
OF their Jurisdiction whenever it
saw tit. Certainly now was the
opportune time, and the act was
forthwith passed. The Indians
squlrmed and the full bloods
threatened to rise. Some of the
old full blood judges refused to
quit their benches, but finally
they learned it was of no use to
KICK; the act would be carried
out. Other drastic measures were
suggested by the commission and
the Indians began to make over
lures. Little by little they were
hersuaded to the steps which
have led to the abolishment of
the tribal rule. Though com
pretending fully that the change
would accrue greatly, to their IN
dividual advantage the Indians
held tenaciously to the traditions
of the tribes and surrendered
them only when they saw that
the new movement was inevitable.
WEALTH FOR THE INDIANS.
When the division is made
those who have fought so hard
and so loud against it will be
probably the richest savages in
the world. The country which
will be pareelled out among them
is larger than the state of South
Carolina, and of great beauty
and variety. Most of the soil is
very fertile. The water supply is
ample. A belt of splendid oak
forest, thirty miles in width, runs
through the territory, and many
other valuable woods are found
there. Rich pasture lands afford
fat grazing for thousands of sheep
and cattle. Two million dollars
worth of coal was taken out of
the Indian territory last year. 1t
is estimated that the products of
the soil for the year 1899 amount
ed to 6 million dollars. Besides
these things petroleum in large
quantities is known to lie be-
meath the soil and valuable veins
OF lead and zinc are indicated by
rich outcroppings which have
never been mined. A fine climate
and beautiful scenery make this
country one of the garden spots
