STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 12.-The cause of
the relapse of prices in today's stock
market was not altogether clear, but
the same was true of the advance Of
yesterday and the day before. DistruGt
and incredu;ity as to the rumors which
were set afioat to account for it because
of some intrinsic grounds of improba-
bility seemed to be the reason for to-
days reaction. The same brokers,
commonly supposed to act for the same
large Standard Oil. Morgan, Hartman
and Gould interests were active in buy
ing and building up stocks today as
they were yesterday, st. Paul especially
being lifted again and again by main
force to the neighborhood of 167, but
the last price was 1915 only shade
above the lowest. The Central and
Southern transcontinental stocks were
nearest to it in point of activity, but the
advance showed a tendency to spread
beyond yesterdays narrow limits until
the enormous realizing forced prices
lack. The stocks generally show losses
en- the day running from / to LIZ in the
. leaders and from up to that up to SA
in st. Paul. The. local traction stocks
were notably weak throughout. The de-
creased loan item of the banks failed to
show the full effect of the repayment
during the week of some s15,000000 of
New York city revenue warrants, and
the supposition was therefore made
that foreign bankers continue their bor-
rowing in the local market, to repay for
eign borrowings. The disturbance in
the Paris money market points to the
likelihood of a continuance of this pro-
cess. The market closed weak at the
lowest.
Railroad bonds have been in better
demand at some advance in prices.

DAYLIGHT FIREWORKS.

One of the regrettable consequences of the row over in China,' remarked a salesman who handles holiday novel, ties, will be the temporary interruD- ton of the daylight fireworks industry, which had it's headquarters at the city of Tien Tsin. We have learned to beat the Chinese all hollow in almost everything else in the pyrotechnic line, but we don't understand as yet how to produce the wonderful daylight effects at which they have become adept. The day fireworks are a comparative novel ty, and l believe they have never been seen in the south, but they have made q great hit wherever exhibited in the north, and one or two of the dealers have arranged to import an immense lot for winter festivities. They are put up in the shape of rockets of diff ferent sizes, and when the fuse is ig- nited they soar to 400 or 300 feet in the air. At their greatest elevation they burst and release fantastic figures made of tissue paper, which become in- Hated and will float for ten or fifteen minutes before they begin to descend. Some American made rockets on the same general principle have been on the market for the last two or three seasons, but they are not to be con- pared with the Tien Tsin article. The figures set af1oat by the Chinese con trivances vary all the way from birds and winged dragons to grotesque man. ikins. supposed to represent demons. saw trial lot exhibited at Roch- ester last spring. and some of the ef- fects were astonishing. One rocket turned loose pair of immense hawks that must have been fastened to- gether by delicate thread. They circled round and round each other and it was hard to realize they were not alive. Another released a figure that looked like a skeleton with an enormous black head. It sailed through the air with outstretched arms and legs, turned somersaults and went through all manner of fantastic gyra- tions. The effect was funny and at the same time indescribably weird. Our pyrotechnic experts have taken these rockets apart with the greatest of care, but strange to say they have been unable to discover how the paper devices were launched at exactly the right moment. All their limitations have been failures. The things were made at only one native factory at Tien Tsin, and since the Dombardinx and capture of the city by the allied armies the dealers hsve been unable to learn whether the establishment is stiH In existence. Very likely 1t was destrQyed and the apefatof1 scat teeed. "--Nsw 0f3eqna Time Demo. fsss S5s$.5ssa ssS 4s

THE DOG NUISANCE.

Your item in last nights Democrat calling attention to the number of dogs that infest our streets contains q lot of truth. The residents of East Clay street and South Main for some time past have been subjected to the pres ence of a number of CUTS who make night hideous by their bowling and fighting. In the daytime the nuisance is continued by their constant barking while following up the teams and try ing to chew up the wheels or bite the horses legs. "COnstantinople is not in it." It cannot be that the owners of these dogs are not cogniZant of the fact that these mongrels of theirs by their hideOuS noise are robbing some poor sufferer or child of the sleep they are trying to obtain. If the people that own these canines cannot look after them they should not grumble if the law destroyed them. The alder men should pass q law giving the po- lice the power to use their shooting irons while on their midnight beat to destroy some of this pest. and if they visit this neighborhOod they will find plenty of chances to display their abil- 1ty as marksmen: but 1 would ask them to be careful not to break any glass.

KLEIGEL CRITICISED.
For His Policy of Making Arrests at ! Student Riots.

St Petersburg. Tuesday, March 26.- 1t is confidently expected that Lieuten- ant General Kleigel, the prefect of po- lice, will be given Siberian governor generalship. A ministerial circu- lar this morning contained what is regarded as severe crit icism of Kleigefs policy of mak- ing arrests after the outbreaks of the students troubles, instead of fore stalling them. The wrangle with Lieu tenth Viasemsky in the cathedral which caused the resignation Of Vlas- emsky,. is also hurting K1eigel. It Is reported that Grand Duke Vladimir Is organizing mediation committee for the purpose of fnouiring into the complaints of the students and en- deavoring to persuade them to behave.
 X story comes from the hospitals to the effect that nineteen students have already died from injuries received III the recent riots. presumably as a re- suit of wounds Inflicted by the leaden bullets which the COSsackS are all lowed to have put on their whips. The students themselves report only two deaths, while the mortality statistics do not give q single death last week except from disease.
 The candidacy of M. kowalebsky for minister of education is regarded ss very serious. Senator TagantsoH. curator of the Moscow district. and M. Enrep. curator of the Kharkoff dis trict, are his principal opponents.

office to Be Opened.
 Hong Kong. March 2S.-1t is report ed from Canton that the activity Of the French is greatly increasing in the neighborhood of that city. Two steam CTS ply between Hong Kong and Cam ton and gnboats are much in evidence on the Chinese waterways. It is also reported that two steamers are being built in France to run between Hong Kong and Canton, and that France intends to subsidiZe the carrying of the mails. It is also reported that a French postoffice will open in Canton about April l. Objections have been lodged to the plying of the steam launches under the tricolor. Chinese captains now fly the tricolor with an addition of three small stars which are invisible short distance away. and as a result it is said the Chinese people imagine they are under the tri- color and conclude that the French in. f1uence is gaining. It is also reported that French hospital was opened at Shameen some months for the purpose of receiving Chinese patients. All this aids French influence and pres. tige.
