THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Sept i.-Todays stock
market was an almost exclusively pro-
fessional affair, with evidence of a
participation by the speculative party
which is rather vaguely characterized
as "the western contingent by thu
traders about the stock exchange. This
party has been active at intervals i'm
the stock market ever since the corn
crop prospects became an element in
the speculation. They continued the
sale of stocks this morning but early
became impressed with the notable
pauCity of the offerings which We're
brought out under the pressure they
put upon the market ana reversed
their position to the buying side. The
free offerings of corn today which
were at sufficiently attractive terms to
attract some demand for export of that
grain for the first time In a consider
able period, may have had an influence
on these operations. The days move
mont Of prices seemed largely due,
however, to maneuvers by Contending
professional operators, following yes
tarday's sharp break, which in itself
was APPARENTLY a testing operation by
the capitalists who have supported
the market for some time past. They
seemed satisfied with their demonstra
tion of the small amount of stock i'm
pending over the market for dislodge-
ment and their brokers were large
buyers again today and especially of
United States steel stocks In which
they were Joined by the western con-
tingent." These stock did not move
upward until there ha& been sharp ad-
vances in Colorado Fuel and Ten
nessee coal. based upon the assump-
tion that their business was largely
increased as a result of the enforced
idleness of United states steel Corpor-
alton works. Chicago Great Western
continued strong on rumors of buying
for control and the recent large ac-
cumulation Of Mexican National was
unabated today. The strong tone per-
meated the whole market as the day
progressed and the final hour showed
many of the market leaders amongst
the grangcrs, PacihCs, Southwesterns,
coalors and spcCialties from l to
points over last nights closing level
Total sales, $4,000 shares.

Andrew BadavitCh, miner, met
with a terrible and instant death in
the Stevens slope, at West Pittston,
late this afternoon. BadavitCh had
been at work all day and had prepared
a coal hole, which he intended to fire
before quitting work for the day. The
charge of powder had failed to OK
plode and he returned To learn the
rcas son why. The charge exploded
, while he was making the examination
BadavitCh received the full force of
the shot. His body was badly torn and
| buried beneath the flying coal. The
| victim was a POlander. about 40 years
| of age, and lived with his wife and
| several children on Center street,
