improvement, in their view, has not evidently progressed far enough to make them buy. That is one reason for standstill market. People are not bullish, and they are not bearish. They are not anything but lockers on.
 o Wall Street financial expert said yesterday that one reason for tight money was found in the fact that since Jan. the new securities issued exclusive of government bonds. amounted to the unparalleled total of $1,92S, 963,5O0 of which $195, 900 O00 were municipal securities, S226, 100000 rail- road notes, $61oOOO,o0O railroad bonds. $507OO0,OoO railroad stocks, s65.o0o, ,0oo industrial notes, $11700O, ,OoO bonds, and $2O6,OOO,OO0 industrial stocks. Howev- CT, many of the securities were for refunding, and out of the total author ized $7oo,o0o,oOO have not yet been is- sued.

MARKET STRONGER.
Appreeiable Revival of Speculative
 Interest Noticeable.

New York, Oct. 7. There was no considerable revival of speculative in terest in to-day's stock market and It's surface was unruffied by any strik- ing movement or any important event. The only feature in the days market was an announcement of an extra diy- ldend disbursement to Great Northern stockholders by one of the companies which administers part of the assets of that property. This proved to be the mainstay of the narrow market and served as an obstacle to the ef- forts made early In the session by the bears to extend the decline which set in on Saturday after the appearance of the bank statement. The Great Nor thern plum enumerated the effect of some of the recent rather gloomy pub- lie utterances by the head of the sys- tenn, which have weighed on the se- curlties of his companies. Similar out givings were reported from the head | of the Atchison system to-day, but with slight effect on the securities of that system, something being allowed apparently for purposed policy by rail- road financiers to curb the impetuos. ity, of public agitation against corpor- ations. The professional bears among the traders meet practical experience l to prove that holders of securities are not so discouraged as to be willing to part with them at further sacrifice, and I the tenative operations by the bears are not extended far. Statistics com- piled by the Journal of Commerce throw further light on the troubles through which the securities market l has been obliged to pass in its show
 ing of new securities for the nine
 months of the current year reaching
 the unparalleled total of 8. .92S, ,96S, ,500
 exclusive of government bonds, but in- l cluding municipal issues. The Satur-
 day bank statement was not lost sight of, although its influence for active
 depression was resisted. With the
 surplus over the legal reserve down to
 $2,64S,075, and with the tide of the cur
 rency movement to the interior in full 1 flood, there is small disposition to risk l extension of credits for taking on se- 1 curities on margin. The influence of a l further reduction in quotations for copper at the metal exchange was ov- ercome. Notwithstanding the dullness of the market, the tone became dis tinctly strong at the last.
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales par value s1,SS6, 900.

A notable event was a 2-cent rise in wheat, which carried up export prices along with contracts for future deliv- cry, and which fixed a New York "spot price' for the day 5 1-2 cents per bushel above the price of a week ago, 4 IA cents above the high price reach cd in the excited boom" of May. It is probable enough that this move ment was largely speculative.

had the Shift that went off at midnight,
had been filing some brasses shortly
before his shift was changed, and aft

while to make certain that everything
was all right. Finally stepping upon
a step and reaching across the ma
chinery to feel of one of the journal
boxes to see if it was heating, his
clothing was caught and his right arm
Jerked into the machinery, crushing

VIII Re.intrOduce Bill If

The New Orleans Picavune SAYS:
Representative Henry Hunsicker of
Caddo parish, is in the city from
north Louisiana, guest at the Com
mercial hotel. During the course of a
conversation yesterday, Mr.. Hunsick-
er said that if he was returned to the
house he would re-introduce his bill.
providing for the reduction of tax
collectors fees, introduced during the
last session, met its fate because of
the pressure quickly brought to bear
by sheritfS from over the state and tax
collectors of the parish of Orleans.
II provided that only those officers
having large Incomes would be affect
ed. Mr.. Hunsicker estimated at the
time that his bill, if enacted into law
would save the state over $l00,O per
year.
IL Mr.. hunsicker is returned to the
house and re-introduceS the above
mentioned bill, the press and people
OF the state ought to demand the pas
sage of it, or a similar bill, by their
representatives. The fortunes that are
being paid annually to sheriffs and
tax collectors in some of our larger
parishes is senseless outrage upon
long suffering people The time has
come when the voters of the state
should put an end to this form of
legalized oppression.

citizens Should Cut Their Weeds.

We called attention last week to the
fact that the growth of weeds and
grass was becoming very rank on
many premises, and we are glad to
note that our street commissioner has
taken the matter in hand and has q
force cleaning up the streets and park
ing throughout the business portion
of the city, but there still remains
many places which the land owner
himself should clear up. If the prop
erty owners would devote on an aver
age of a half day each to this work,
our city would take on such a differ
ent aspect that some of us would hard
" know the town we live in. Every
property owner in this or any other
town, owes it to himself, his neighbor
and his town to keep his place in as
good condition as possible. A rank
growth of weeds on your property not
only decreases the value of it, but that
of your neighbOr as we'll. Further
more it is unfair for people who have
spent their time and money cleaning
up their own property, to be compelled
to wade through a wilderness of grass
and weeds every time they go to town,
simply because their neighbor is too
lacking in public spirit to clean up his
premises. Let everybody clean up.
