sharply and Sugar FIuctuates.

NEW YORK. Oct 24-The Stock Market
today opened active and for the NEST part
extremely strong
Pacific Mail was>the conspicuous feature
OF the early dealings in a rapid advance
which was attended by reports that the
control OF the company had changed hands
by reason Of the sale of the holdings of
a deceased capitalist largely interested in
the property.
The dealings in Northern Pacific, COM
men, were in exceedingly large volume
and they reflected heavy preft-realizing
sales upon the opening of business.
Other conspicuous movements were in
American Tobacco, which rose very sharp
ly, and in Sugar Refining, where the fiuc-
tuations were wide and erratic.
The Railway list was in the main very
steady
The London market for American stocks
was shown at advances, in comparison

ONCE TRIED A TEXAS STEER.
A Single TrinI sufEiced for Seville
BuIIdEhters.
From the Chicago Chronicle-o


A resident OF Des Moines, Ia, was a
witness to Spanish bullfght at Seville.
SPAIN a few years ago, at which one of
the animals in the amphitheatre was d
Texas steer. steer. he says. will never
attack a horse or man on horseback
man on foot he may KILL but a man on
horseback he viii rot modest. He also
does not shut his eyes when he charges,
while a bull takes his line and then shuts
his eyes and charges, never deyiating from
the line his sight gave him before he closed
his orbs. This it is that enables the torea-
dor to step so easily cut of the way for
the bull. not seeing makes no attempt to
reach the man when he has moved from
the spot occupied when the bull charged.
THE only trial of the Texas steer"
continued the Iowan, was pulled off at
Seville, and while they intended pottina
seven, the first one they let loose gave
them all they wanted and quickly brought
that experiment to an inglorious finish
After the steer had cavorted about the
ring for a while they turned a horse loose
The steer paid no attention to him but
the horse, fearful Of the unknown beast,
would not advance. In came helper
with sharp stick, and the steer, posi-
lively believing for joy, started, as the
crowd supposed for the horse. BY him
the steer went in pursuit of the bigger
game, and the helper shortly cleared the
protective fence with ten feet to spare
| owing to the steers able assistance The
| representative of the Texas cattle trade
went over that six-foot barrier as though
| it was prairie dog mound of his native
plains, but the helper won out to one
of the protective boxes and safety
The steer did his best to get at him,
| but finding 1t impossible, looked about foe
! other game with which to sport The
} stone seats are ten feet above the ground,
and this has always been an insurmount-
! able barrier for bull, but they reckoaed
without their Texas steer when they built
them, for as soon as the steers eyes lit
on the throng above his head he stepped
back and the next instant he was amons
| them. Before the people could escape he
| had tossed half dozen into the ring, bu,
| they were all rescued By the ring atten-
| dants. The stone seats cleared, the steer
| returned TO the ring, and seeing no enc
| else to throw down the gage of battle to,
| took the exact centre of the ring and bel
| lowed his. defiance to the universe. In
| the mean time the management had been
| busy and a soldier with a Mauser rife
| had been summoned from a nearby bar
rack. With the boxtail as a rest he took
steady aim, and with the ping of the bull

cIocKs IN CHURCH SPIRES.

(From the Church Econon.ist)
A church spire seems TO be hardly com
piete without d CLOCK. twithstanding
the fact hat watches and house clocks
have been so cheapened within the past
few years as to be within the reach Of
everyone, even these of meagFe financial
resources, it is still pleasant to be able

also pleasant, particularly in the country.
to hear {. sweet-toned bell striking the
hours as they pass. There is an idea
however, a5eong some people that the day
of the tower clock has passed, that the
bell has become a nuisance instead OF q
pleasure and that the modern church IS
clockless. at least so far as externals are
concerned
The representative of one of the largest
clock manufacturers in this country says
that this latter is an erroneous idea As
a matter of fact says he we have sold
more clocks for towers in the past two
years than we did in the previous ten -
The repr esentatlve of the Church Econo-
mist" asked him to tell its readers some
thing about the style and cost OF tower
clocks, such as are now being sold
Clocks for church towers are invaria-
bly, made to order to meet special condi-
tions, and it is almost Impossible to give
any general idea of what we finnish. It
is safe to say. however, that as a rule
tower clocks are made with four dials,
each dial being about six feet in diameter.
The dials are usually black or some very
dark color and the figures and the hands
are gilded. In our opinion a black dial
with gilt hands and figures is legible at a
greater distance than one with any ether
combination of eolors, and the black and
gold usually haTmonize with the coiors OF
any building on which the dial may be
placed. Sometimes an open dial is used
with the gold figures standing cut against
the stonework OF the tower, but this is
not a usual practice, and it is scarcely
worth mentioning
LAS to the cost of tower clocks there
again it is hard to speak in general terms
We have made such clocks for 81 900 and
we have made them for s12. 090. The lat
ter is about the top price, and I am free
to confess that-we do not sell many of
that grade Perhaps the safest prices te
name would be from $1,000 to $4,000
Within these limits clock can be bought
for any but the most extraordinary loca-
tons

A renewed impetus was given to the up
ward movement this morning, prices gen
orally advancing fairly wsil, and in some
cases buoyantly. Pennsylvania, Pacific
Mail, and New York Central were perhaps
the most conspicuous issues on the list,
but a number of the best of the railway
stocks showed heavy buying of kind TO
attract attention. The realizing so notice
able yesterday was continued, but the buy
ing was for some of the most important
cliqucs, and also in an increasing degree
for the public. Predictions that the boom
is near its end are made but the talk
OF further advances for two weeks to come
is more general. Politics would suggest
that the strong market be continued if
possible and the general situation in this
case is in nearly every way favorable
Pacific Mail during the first half hour of
the day advanced to Is IL or 20 points
above the low price of few months ago.
This is the most violent ads-,-nce made dur
ing the present boom Since the beginning
OF the present month the adve-ce has been
Is points. As far as can be judged the
boom is a work Of manipulation almost
wholly. The company is not earning
per cent on its stock and is not paying
anything. The rumors that have been put
out to help the manipulators are to the
effect that the Vanderbiits are buying the
stock for control, OF already have control
to passage early in the coming session Of
Congress. Both OF these things are posi-
bic, but neither is probable 1t is much
more probable that when the public has
bought a sufficient amount of the stock
around 80 or SO it will be tumbled again
to 80.
Tobacco advanced to par early in the ses-
sion. The stock has been the best of the
Industrial group during the present boom,
There is talk of excellent earnings as US
ual and also of larger dividends.
Pennsylvania advanced to 135 very
quickly this morning, and New York Cen
tral to 1874 and fraction Baltimore and
Ohio common, also made a gain of
point or so early in the day 1t could not
be learned that anything new regarding
the trunk line situation was developing.
All of these securities have been bought
for some time by careful people on their
excellent prospects for advance.
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
have been advancing rapidly. A story is
circulated that there is a deal in the
Northwestern field that will be good for
both systems. Another reason for the ad-
vance of the Northern Pacific may be that
someone is buying for control against the
time next year when the voting trust is
dissolved. The rumor that the dividend
on the stock is to advance to per cent
is given little attention.
The steel and iron securities generally
were dull and there were realizing orders
1t was said that Mr.. Gates had sold out
an immense amount of these stocks. This
may or may not be true, but it is certain
that some large interest was a heavy
seller. Federal Steel was as strong as
any of the group, but made no new high
price.
The Atchison securities were the best
of the granger group, showing great buoy
ancx and making new high prices. Other
grangers were strong. The selling in
this group was heavy but the commiss ion
