FINANCE and IRADE.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Commercial
Advertisers London financial cable
gram:
The markets here were slack and
dropping to-day. as the expectation that
the bank rate will soon be advanced,
although a rumor was current that
a rise may be RENDERED necessary by
the Bank of France releasing gold and
large arrivals from India.
The only activity was in Americans
which spurted on New York's early
buying orders. They finished buoyant
on the buying from your side OF Bal
ttmore & Ohio and Northern Pacific.
This was surmised to be bear covering.
The bank sold e200, 900 gold in bars,
probably for the United States.
Money rates were unchanged.
Silver collapsed on the announce
ment that the Indian government has
completed its coinage by buying by
the million purchases. Nevertheless,
the bazaar price has risen a farthing to
74A, and India might buy profitably.
The market depends or this.

Orange County Politics.

Editor of Watchmdn:-I see by the Herald
and Netus that they right to present sena-
torial candidate for the west side of the
county this year is claimed for Randolph on
the ground that they have not had one for
eight years. The Republicans Of Washing
ton think this privilege should belong to
them, as they have not had one for thirty
years. In 1870 Judge White was elected
Senator. Since then every town on the
west side except Washington has had one
or more. Randolph having had four. Under
these circumstances the Republicans of
Washington will present my name before
the convention as a candidate for Senator.
/ cannot name as many important offices
that have held as Mr.. Kimball and urge
that as a reason why 1 should have another;
nor am 1 recent convert to Republican
principles as Mr.. Wall is, for have belong
ed to the party since 1t organized, and have
supported the Republican candidate for
President from Fremont to Mckinley. /
think that am we'll enough known in Or
ange county so that 1 need not say more
about myself

NOTICE.
To Daiymen and Farmers.

The Spring and the Autumn mark the per-
iods during which so many Premature Parturi-
tons occur amongst your herds. Abortion,
contagious and non-contagious, makes sad raw
ages with expected increase. Now is the time
to act and save money.
The attention of many intelligent observers,
including the eminent members of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture and the State
Board of Agriculture, has long been directed
to the consideration of this evil. Aided by
their reported Investigations and experiments,
we have compounded a remedy which will
prove efficient one in 70 per cent of the cases
of threatened abortion of cattle. We have
named it Bovine Benefaetor, and its name is
meritrd. Any information desired regarding
this or other diseases of stock will be cheer
fully answered by our skilled Veterinary Phys
ician and Surgeon, DR.. l. w. PARKS, of
Ontario Veterinary College. Address

SMALL POX SCARE

Excitement still runs high at Hardwick
over the small pox scare, although 1t is by
no means certain that 1t is a genuine case.
o. II. Thomas, the supposed victim is not
confined to his bed He shaved himself
on Tuesday, and is contentedly chewing
tobacco during his enforced confinement
His face is mass OF sores. DR.. Darling
pronounces it small pox but DR.. George
does not agree with him.
About 300 people have already left town.
Some Of them are property owners, but the
majority are the floating population.
DR.. Hamilton and other members of the
State Board Of Health were expected to
reach Hardwick on Tuesday and their
opinion of the case is awaited with extreme
interest.
The people OF Hsrdwick do not feel kind
ly toward Mr.. Thomas, the supposed VIC
tim. He was told before he reached town
that he had the small pox. bnt he took no
pains to isolate himself, and even went to a
barber shop to be shaved before going to
his boarding house. Business is paraly zed,
the schools are closed and the commenc-
ment exercises will probably be Cancelled.
