FEARS OF GOD EXPORTS.
This and Lack c. FILiic Interest Re-
flected In Stock Market oPer-
ations, Yesterday.

New York. Oct 23.-In It's essential
features yesterdays stock market re-
f5~ted practically ,a!l the previous
days characteristics, including an ut
ter lack of public interest and increas-
ing fears Of. gold exports. Sterling
exchange was, quoted as high as
1850. In fact, the foreign exchanges
market was the feature of the day.
Business was even lighter in Volf
ume and the tone of the list was pro
fessional throughout. Reading was
the only strong stock at the openinBs
several fairly large lots being TAKEN
at fractional advance over the Lon
don price. The rest Of the list was
generally lower, 9annsylvania, Balh,
more and Ohio New York Cenual
st. Paul, Missouri Pacific and seVerak
other active stocks all scoring de-
clines. The market dragged all
through the morning session with no
marked tendency save for few feeble
rallies, but these were invariably fol-
lowed by declines Some Of the stock
already mentioned participated IN tnA
irregular movement, as did also Nor
folk and Western, Louisville and
Nashville and Innois Central. There
were no great recessions, nor was any
pronounced preG2ure shown, except
perhaps against Baltimore and Ohio
and St Paul. Western houses were
buyers Of Colorado Fuel and Iron,
which suggested a revival Of the re-
cent fight for control Of that prop
erty. London again took an unfayor-
able view Of local monetary condi-
tions and sold upwards Of 10000
shares on balance.
The afternoon session brought gen.
eral recoveries and early losses were
fer the most part wiped out.

PECULIAR POINT
Decided BY the Court In an
Insurance Suit.-The
Plaintiff Won.

Akron, O., April ia mandate has
been received from the supreme court
ordering the Phoenix Fire Insurance
company to pay Thomas Mier the in
surance on his saloon, which burned
four years ago.
A peculiar point was involved in the
case. Meir got his policy at 1890,
standard time, and IL was dated NOON
of the same day. The fire In his sa-
loon started at exactly 1880, stand
ard time. The company claimed that
the policy was not yet in effect. The
courts were asked to decide what
moon" meant. The decision Is that
noon means the time when the sun
passes the meridian at any given point,
which in Akron Is at 1888, standard
time. BY three minutes therefore,
Mier has won the case and receives
81, 900 insurance.

Massillon, April 1.-THE Massilion
Bottle and Glass company, which
now has bottle factory in this city,
is contemplating the erection Of fac
tory in Wooster. The board Of trade
of that city has offered some good
inducements but the company is hold
ing out for more.
Concerning the project, II. F. Po-
cock, of the local concern, said today:
I'VE expect to erect new factory
in Wooster. The one and only rea-
son for contemplating this move is
because boys are available in that city.
We have much trouble in securing
enough boys to operate our present
diminished factory here. With Mas
sillon's population and with the three
bottle concerns now here, 1t Is simply
out of question to secure more"

How 1t Operates.

The New York Journal makes the
following concise analysis of the con-
ditions arising from the inquitous beef
combine:
How is it that the beef trust is en-
abled to raise prices at will, whether
beef happens to be scarce or plentiful?
It is because the beef trust has no fear
Of competition. The owners of cattle
must sell to it and from it the beef
must be bought. The reason why the
beef trust does not fear competition
Is that it is in criminal collusion with
the railroad companies, which give il
lower rates than anybody else can get.
This is in defiance of law. If the pow
er of these criminal trusts is ever
to be effectively attacked, it will not
be by merger suits" which deal with
form rather than substance, but by di-
rect assault upon the conspiracy with
the railroads which enables them to
laugh at threats of competition.

The municipal code bill, which was
intended to put all the cities of the
state upon common basis, so far as
municipal government is concerned
has been put to sleep for this term
of the legislature at least. The franz
ing of this bill has cost the state a
large amount of money. A commits
sion was appointed and paid by the
state to frame a bill to correct many
evils in the government of cities. 1t
had been working for years, and the
result of its labor was bill so cum
bersome that it was worthless. Not
having any newspaper men on the
commission they could not boil it
down, and the legislature refused to
accept it in its present form. 1t was
generally admitted that not single
member had the fortitude to read the
bill: There is possibility that it may
be introduced two years hence.
