New York. Oct. 23.-The market
showed increased dullness and com
mission house business was almost nil
Prices moved irregular. London sold
on rallies and bought on medorate con-
cessjons. 1t is estimated that the net
result of these operations was an ac-
emulation of a fairly large amount
of stock. News of the day was favor
a1ic regarding monetary situation
and call rate touched the lowest point
since the breaking of stringency. Ad-
ditiynal consignments of Australi an
goi6 were announced and in the after
noon sterling exchange dropped
sharply. The opinion in banking cir
cles was that conditions at present Tor
babe any expectation of gold. The on
~. unfavorable news was a clash be-
tween some of the independent to3l
orei ate RS. The early market Witness
ed a display of strength in 1t. Paul,
louisville and Nashville, Baltimore
and Ohio, Illinois Central and Fries.
Late in the afternoon Baltimore and
Ohio fell IL from the highest OH APP

There was a good demand from

Macon News: The colored people
seem in earnest in their opposition to
the employment of convicts by the
Mill-Haven Lumber Company at its
plant west of the city. On Saturday q
delegation appeared before the Mayor
expressing it's disapproval of free la
Dor being supplanted with convicts, and
the Mayor advised that a petition be
submitted to the City Council, which
might take some action. Last night
mass meeting of colored people has
held at Friendship Baptist Church.
There was large attendance, and ex-
pressions against the prospective ac-
ton of the Mill-Haven Company were
numerous and decided. A petition. adj
dressed to the City Council, protesting
against the step, was started and Sc
cured many signatures. Rev. A. Hud-
son presided over the meeting. and
Rev. ]. r. Maxwell acted as secre-
tary.

SHOT THE sPIELER.

North Georgia Citizen: John Perry,
familiar character on the streets of
Dalton, shot ]. A. Walker, a spieIer
for the John Robinson's shows, last
Saturday, and seriously, If not fatally
wounded him. 1t is alleged that Perry
did the shooting without cause or
provocation. He was drinking, and it
is stated that he said he did not like
the spieler's costume, whereupon he
drew his revolver and fired, the ball
taking effect in the abdomen. Drs.
Bivings, Gordon, McAfee, Wood,
Brown, Harris and Hightower took
charge of the wounded man, operating
upon him, sewing the perforated en-
trails, and the chances for his recovery
are I'm his favor, if peritonitis does not
set in.

the market, a sale of 500 shares of
Northwest early in the day caused a
drop of almost 4 points. The uncov-
