]. P. Hilton Of Watertown, Mass
enjoys the distinction Of being the last
man to handle the ribbons over the
last stage coach on the line at the

completed. The stages discontinued
their route as fast as the railroad ad-
vanced, and the last drive was between
Waldoboro and Rockland. Mr.. Hilton
landed the coach at the stables in
Rockland and returned home to Wis.
casset the next morning by rail. Mr..
Hilton was employed on the stage
route for twenty-six years.

Market May Continue to Advance.

IA. r. Thompson & Co.'s telegram
NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-The early dealings
were marked by considerable uncertainty
and hesitation due to the fear of further
unfavorable developments among out-of-
town financial institutions, emphasized by
some unfavorable reports cabed from
abroad. Later on the assurance was given
that the situation i'm Baltimore and Pitts
burg was materially improved and the mar
ket gathered strength on short covering
assisted by fairly aggressive buying of the
leading railroad shares and sugar The
movement had all the ear marks of a re-
sumption OF the buying which began in the
latter part of last week, but around top
prices there seemed To be considerable stock
for sale. 1t is not unlikely the London mar
ket will receive support from this side over
night and that the recovery will be car
ried somewhat further tomorrow. but I'M
less a substantial outside following can be
attracted there is nothing In the situation
TO support any extended bull movement at
this time.

PRIVATE WIRE ADvICEs.

Never & Kiser's yVire.l

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O-Although nothing
but the expected happened in the general
betterment of the prices of stocks to-day,
the feeling at the close was decidedly good
and apprehension of a further severe de-
cline in prices had been materially allayed.
Traders realized to-day that an undue sig
nificance had been attached to the collapse
of two Baltimore trust companies, and they
began to get back stocks which they had
thrown over yesterday. Then, again, some
of the pessimistic souls who thought the
bottom had dropped out of the market again
were surprised at the sharp advance at the
opening and lost no time in covering The
fact that out-of-town banking institutions
cannot hurt local institutions has been i'm
pressed 10 some extent on the professional
element by yesterdays incidents, but the
hysterical state of the trading contingent
generally makes it easy for bearish opera
tors to play upon the nerves of those who
are ordinarily waiting for advance i'm
prices. The vagaries of the market during
the past few weeks have been such that
operators extremely sensitive to all
kinds of bad news and gossip. Perhaps the
pleasant feature of to-day's market was
the strength developed in the industrial
list. The minor industrial stocks were UNI
deniably strong and interest in that quarter
was in evidence. But the railroad list was
the most convincing in its display of an
actual betterment.

Wheat Market Uncertain, with Little
Change Except for December.

[Albert r. Thompson &, Co.'S Wire1
CHICAGO, Oct. 20-There was a small,
uncertain wheat market, with December
strong most of the session. The outside
markets have been through the same ex-
perience as this, opening lower, rallying
sharply on December and closing higher
for this month, but closing with little or
no gain in the May There was no change
in the cash situation. There was a good
deal Of corn covering. The market was in
fiuenced by the large shipping business
which was accomplished Monday. The fu-
lures held little over the Monday close
at one time asc to 5-9c. The market was
not, however, a broad one, and corn was
affected quickly by the ups and downs of
wheat. The country offerings of corn were
not heavy; but the shipping demand was
rather quiet-New York not bidding the
market. Oats prices were better early and
Mondays close. When wheat eased off oats
went with it. The best buying was by the
interest which has been short the most
Wells. There was a firm provision market,
although hogs were Zoe to 15c lower. 1t
was reported about 10000 tierces cash lard
were worked Monday night and this morn
ing, and there was buying OF lard futures
on that by those who did the business and
by others Influenced by Ii. There was a
line of January lard taken by Steever. The
whole list was some higher, and it seemed
to be the inclination of shorts to cover
Hogs here were 1900, hogs west 1000, as
compared with Si00c last year Meat and
lard shipments were better than last year.

was considerable complaint from statesmen at
the start of the cattle market to-day, and they
probably had just cause not on account Of prices
but because buyers were not inclined TO bid any
price. The condition OF the trade elsewhere.

emily were not quite certain just what course 10

that could be sold brought about 1oc less than
equal kinds bringing at the close OF last
week. There was only fair request for feeding
stock, and hardly enough changed hands to show
the true condition OF the market There was
also very slow outlet for the class OF cattle

many OF this description were left unsold. Just

Financial Troubles I'm the East Have

Corn Closed Higher.

CHICAGO Oct. 20.-Wheat prices were
nervous again to-day, due to a feeling of
uncertainty in the minds of traders as to
the outcome of the financial troubles In the
East. but closing prices were about where
they left off yesterday, with December up
1sc. December corn was shade higher.
but oats were down 1sGAc, while January
provisions closed from 10c to 12ihc higher.
Easier cables and favorable weather for
the movement, as well as the situation in
Wall street, were influences that caused
wheat to open barely steady. with Decem-
Der up shade to sake lower, at sOGs0i4c.
Local traders were inclined to be rather
cautious in their trading early in the day
and there was some scattered liquidation.
but with reassuring news from Wall street
and on active buying by one or two big bull
operators the market quickly dropped
stronger tone The best support, however,
came from the conditions in the North
west and the improved export business Du-
luth reported 100000 blu taken there for ship
ment and reports from Minneapolis said
that country milers were buying wheat
there. December was in active demand and
advanced to Size. AT this figure there was
considerable profit taking and the senti-
'ment during the latter part of the session
was inclined to weakness. December closed

tract grade, made total receipts for the
three points of ISL cars, against 1,099 cars

Corn was easier at the start, due to IA
vorable weather and lower cables, but in
the absence of any special selling pressure
a firmer feeling was manifested. Commits
