the past fifteen years 1900 metric

blegram:
The stock market opened weak to-
day on the position of the various mon
etary centres, consols dropped to
81 Lie, but recovered to 92M on i'm
proved exchanges, Paris being 25.09R
and Berlin 20.39H. The tone of the
market finally became heavy on the
shipment of $4,000 in gold to the con-
tinent, of which 100000 was a late
shipment yesterday.
American stocks opened depressed
and stale the bulls realizing on the
money and copper situation and the
hitch in Northern Pacific plans. The
market held up until New York bid st.
Paul, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific
and the coalers. The close was cheer
full but inactive. Rio Tintos dipped to
46 7-16 with the weakness in Anal
gamated Copper but New York again
became a buyer and the stock closed at
AZ. The opinion is gaining ground that
the movement in Amalgamated Copper
is ruse.
The Bank of England is still dis
counting largely years maturities.

wheat closed 1aassc lower; December
corn Aa5sc higher and December oats

Corn developed the most activity 1t
has shown in a week. mainly on drive
by the bull clique. Influenced by a
depressed wheat opening, December
started unchanged to a shade lower at
567s to 56&a567c. Liverpool cables
indicated a comfortable increase in
prices, and when there was a demand
by shippers and commission houses and
but a scanty supply wherewith to fill
il. the bulls started in to push prices
upward. The sagging wheat market re-
tarded this advance at times. but De-
cember sold to 57asc higher at 571a
57Ac. Receipts were PIT cars.
Cables were Indifferent in the wheat
market at the opening and December
started unchanged to a shade lower at
71Ha71c. Early advices had it that
the drought continued in Argentina and
prices rose a shade from the opening
figures A quantity of long wheat was
absorbed before direct cables an
nounced the end of the drought and
then there was a scurry to unload.
Under this pressure and influenced by
a very dull market prices declined,

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

Specials TO White & White.
CHICAGO. October 29.-Corn has
been strong with a large trade and
with prices up sc over Monday. The
western situation has been the factor.
Very small offerings in spite of strong
bids. Primary receipts are 1854 600
bushels. against 10000 bushels last
year. Buying was by commissions
houses and Cudahy made some new
bull converts. Receipts, 2ll cars. with
125 for tomorrow. Clearances, 1f2 900
bushels. Big prices for car lots to-
day.
Oats have been strong with corn, up
at one tine asc and holding pretty
well. Local traders led the buying.
with Schwartz and Patten. Receipts,
219 cars. with 10 for tomorrow
Clearances only 5000 bushels. Mar
ket most affected by corn.
Early Argentine advices were to the
effect that wheat crops were still suf-
fering from drought, which caused a
firm market. but later several cables
were received advising abundant rain,
which caused selling by some longs
and an ease in values. Primary mar
ket receipts were large. Cash de-
mand moderate. Local traders bull
ish, but outside speculation light. Some
complaints OF Hessian fly in Kansas
was the basis for some buying. but
the market shows no improvement, ant
without better support or some fresA
stimulating news is likely to work
lower.
Provisions opened weak and lower
on 1000 more hogs than expected.
Local operators and commission houses
sold. Cash demand is very small.
Market closed steady at about open
ing. 10000 hogs tomorrow.

NEW YORK, October 29,-There was
certainly variation in the stock mar
ket. II was weak all day yesterday
and after an uncertain opening did
very well to-day. All the bearish ru-
mors and news of yesterday proved
to be untrue or greatly exaggerated,
and when buying appeared in the mar
ket the traders were not slow in try
ing to get back their stocks which they
sold yesterday. Even the black sheep.
copper, is doing better. The news on
this stock is so bearish that we think
it has reached bottom and we would
rather buy it on weak spots than sell
on bulges. The Vanderbilts are very
strong and there is no stock for sale.
OF course they are all high enough
and any favorable outcome in them
seems to be fully discounted. The
parties in the Northern Pacific deal are
working and we doubt not that ulti-
mately they will find proper and sat
isfactory solution. The market closed
strong with copper in better demand.

NEW YORK, October 20, $40 p. m.-
The stock market was devoid of feat
ure and irregular in tone. Prices at
the opening showed only slight varia-
tons and the fluctuations were narrow
taking the day as whole. ST. Paul
and copper was the most active stocks.
The Stee. stocks rallied about d point
and lost the advance on later trading.
There was apparently a good deal of
covering in the forenoon and renewed
selling for the short account in the last
hour. Aside from very satisfactory
statements of September operations OF
the leading railroad companies there
were no fresh developments except in
the foreign exchange market. Ex-
change rates were low enough, in the
opinion of experts, to have permitted
the covering of yesterdays engagements
at profit but the intention to ship a
half million of gold was announced by
one firm. London sold 1000 Demand

total amount that will go out on this
movement. Nor was there any develop

THE NEWS OF THE DAY.

. Bid: + Asked.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-12-21

Speaking of the appointment by the President of Henry c. Payne as Post master General. The Milwaukee Free Press published at Payne's home, is pecu- harly severe. as the following excerpts from its editorial, which 1t heads: "A Great Mistake" will show:
 There has not been an appointment to . cabinet position in many years of so thoroughly grounded a spoils politician as this. It can be accounted for in only one way, and that is that the President does not know his man.
 If the President had studied how to put the greatest possible affront upon the voters of the State who gave 100000 ma- jority for the Republican ticket last fall. he could not have selected a better means for doing it.
 Mir. Payne Is a man whose connection with any political movement in his own State brings discredit to 1t with the vot- CTS.
 The President has made, we believe, a most serious mistake: and he has made it without knowing what he was doing It Is past understanding why he was per- mitted to make It. There are men enough fin Washington who know that the appointment should never have been made.
 There is much more of the same nature. but these extracts are sufficient to show that, if The Free Press knows its towns man. the President will have no reason to feel proud of the new member of his official family. It isn't our funeral, we are glad to say.

THE SOUTH
Is Losing Its High Rank in Con.

New Orleans Times Democrat
 The South Is losing its high rank in the national councils for the reason that men whose duty 1t Is to pay the poll tax, to register. to attend the primary, to take an intelligent interest in politics, to give the cause of good government and to vote on election day, are failing to dis charge these solemn civic responsibilities. Satisfied with the victory won by the splendid leaders of the South in casting off the yoke of cRrpet-bagism and seal ern States are today either, like lotus- eaters, idling life away in clubs and drawtng-roomS, or, immersed in the &C., 1 tlVtties Of business, are surrendering the government of their city. their State, and | their section to the control of the ignor- ant, vicious and less desirable element of the population. So long as Louisiana casts only 67,O00 votes in a national elec- ton, the people of this State may not reasonably expect to see their political leaders take high rank at Washington or anywhere else. The physical law that with perfect truth to politics. The politi- cal life of a community-city, State or na- tton-is in character precisely what it's people choose to make it. If the citizen ship of this State be alert, active and energetic the political life of this Com vigorous and Intelligent. If the citizen ship of this Commonwealth be indifferent and apathetic the political life of Louis- lana may be expected to be sluggish, un- intelligent and unclean. There Is no es- cape from the operation of this eternal not already, come with swift and smiting force. As 1t is but step from eminence to mediocrity, so Is it but another step from nIediocrity to degradation.

If the so-called humauitarians of this world could see the poor little badly clad children, frail. pale. emaciated pouring out from the fetid -air of the night on frozen ground. and facing a midwinter wind. they would wonder if there was God or if man had a heart much less a soul. The little mounds of the mills increased capital stock. Still the church bells ring. sweet voices join in the Te Deum Ladamus. fervent prayer is prayed. the blessing of our Father in porous and happy. but no strong arm of Christian charity is raised to help the little innocents. Such aid would repel the fucile silver and ductilr Id of the pie love money better than we do un- fortunate children.
