THE DAY IN DETAIL.

Specials to White & White.
NEW YORK, October 1.-Specula-
tive sentiment was unsettled this aft
ernoon and while the dealings in stocks
did not show animation at any time,
prices sold off throughout the list.
Even the steel issues were soft, not
withstanding the confident expectation
of the usual dividend. The partlc IL
larly weak feature was Sugar, which
at one time showed a decline of nearly
five points from the top and closed
comparatively near the lowest price Of
the day. The heaviness in this issue
was considered to be the main disturb
err OF sentiment this afternoon. The
money market remains easy and ster-
ling exchange declines to return to tle
god importing point, inducing the be-
lief that the resumption of the move
ment is near at hand. Pending an
nouncement of the action of the Unit
ed States Steel directors at the meet
ing this afternoon we can make no
positive statements as TO the prospects
for tomorrow market

NEW-YORK. AMMO DOMINI MDCCCXCVII
With Representations of the Chief Parts of the
STAFF. Illustrated. Folio PIP. 13. Privately
Printed.
This sumptuous volume is the worthy memo
rial of an interesting episode in the history Of
the Diocese of Albany. In 1897 there was given
TO that diocese pastoral staff of ma gnificent
workmanship, the design of which was largely
derived from examples of ecclesiastical art in
the South kensington Museum. From this de-
scriptive volume learn that between three
and four years Were spent in making the staff
no fewer than thirty-nine workrnen being
ployed upon it. The staff is made of aluminium
so as to combine lightness with strength, and
it is ornamented with bands Of gold silver gilt
platinum and enamel. 1t is tipped with an
ivory ferrue. in order to avoid noise in use. At
the grip where the hand comes the staff is
covered with white shagreen, so as to give a
firm hold and TO avoid the chill of metal in the
cold weather" The decorations form series of
representations in low relief Of subjects taken
from the Old and New Testaments. The whole
scheme is a wonderful piece of symbolism, car
ried out in great perfection of detail. The
makers Of the staff, Messrs Child G. Child of
London, executed their task with admira BILE
artistic feeling.
On the last day of October 1897, the Right
Rev. William CroswelI Doane Bishop OF
Albany, in the Cathedral of All Saints. at AL
bany, received, blessed and used for the first
time this pastoral staff, given by "A P. p"
through him for the perpetual of the bishops
OF the diocese. In preparing the memorial
which lies before u.s. as much was taken
as in the execution of the staff itself. The de-
scription, with the form used by the Bishop on
the occasion Of receiving the gift is printed In
handsome type, lavishly fabricated. A frontis-
piece shows the chancel of the cathedral, with
the staff leaning against the Bishops throne
AT the back OF the book six pages Of photo
gravure prints exhibit the staff at full length
and In detail. The whole has been put together
in luxurious form in edition of 80 copies.
The gift a beautiful one. and this is a
beautiful record of it.
