LITTLE BUSINESS IN MARKET.
stagnation Greater Than Anything
 During Year.

New York, Sept. 25.-To- days small total of business at the stock exchange was done mostly in a few short per- iods of comparative activity. For the great part of the session the market offered an appearance of staenation greater than at any time this year. Th heavy tone was attributable in part to it's lethargy, prices tending to sag, as rule in such conditions. The wide declines recorded in some usually in- active stocks on light transactions made q bad impression owing to the suggestion of paralysis of any de- mand to necessitate such radical price concession to effect sales. New York. New Haven and Hartford was a con- spicuOus example with a drop to 142 following reports that, the new stock was to be offered to stockholders at 125 without provision of an underwrit- ing syndicate. The company's last of- fering of stock was at 150. The action of the stock on the announcement was taken as rather significant of the lack of depth in the professed confidence ONNA cb DObLSA 4llCllL III lAG lllNGS IIIlEllL demand which has been heard lately about brokerage offices.
 The Interborough Metropolitan stocks and Metropolitan Street rail- way, which were not traded in yes terday in connection with the an- nouncenient Of the receivership of the New York City Railway company, showed the belated effect of that event in the heavy declines of to-day The fall in prices in the general list was moderate and showed evidence of oc- e2sionaI restraint The most important news development to account for it was the report of killing frosts in the west extending into the northern por- tiong of the corn belt

of the extent of the domestic demand for copper attracted by the 15 cent rate offered by the great producers, was vague, but was the subject of many rumors alleging a brightening prospect for adjustment in the trade. Money on call continued easy, but the shipment of currency to the crop re- gions Is now actively in progress and likely to continue for some time.
 The covering of shorts put out in the morning before the session closed marked the professional and narrow nature of the market and reduced most of the declines to trivial propor- tiona.
 Bonds were irregular Total sales par value $2,074,O00 ..
 U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

What started the decline in the early hours yesterday was the news of frost in a portion of the corn belt. This is the kind of news which is al- ways expected in the last weeks of September; the news was authentic, and the low temperature appear to have occurred rather earlier than usual.

Financial markets have set so much store by the outcome of the crops throughout the present month, that even hint of further impairment was bound to be i'll received.

A decline of 18 1-2 points in New York, New Haven & Hartford stock to 143, as compared with 156 1-2. the last previous sale, few days ago. greatly interested Wall street yester- day. This was due to the, coming issue ot S26'Ooo,oO0 new stock by the com pany at 125. There was much discus sion as to the influence that it would nave on sentiment in view of the fact that the company is expected to main
 tam an 8 per cent. dividend Compared Wlth various other stocks price of l48 for New Haven was considered relatively low for an g per cent. issue. assuming that the dividend is to be maintained. Some of the details, how

Charles W. Scranton & Co., specialists Tn local securities gave this opinion concerning the decline:
 ~ii. would say that the cause of the decline in, the price of the New Haven stock to-day has been foreshadowed by the large offerings for a number of gays past. There are a great many large stockholders in this corporation that have as large a block of the stock as they care to own; not that they would sell what they have. but they considertheir holdings as large as nrIl- dence would dictate. Other stockholders do % not havethe funds to further invest; also large and small estates that have no funds for further investment In those cases their rights will come on me market, and the price of the stock mas to drop to such price as to be very attractive for others to come in
 The rights this morning were freely offered with no bids at $4. They aft efwards declined to IA bid, and were the latter price "'

Eggs Must he Fresh.

good eggs and three bad ones and
charging for II good ones, had better
look a little bit oudt" Also those
corporations dealing in canned and
de-odorized hen fruit fall under this
ban.
The law as enacted reads: at shall
be unlawful for a person, firm or col
poration TO sell or offer for sale any
eggs after the same have been in an
incubator, or to sell or offer for sale
eggs in a rotten or decaying condition
to be used as food. 1t shall be the

In the reappOintment by Mayor
Schaffer at last evenings council
meeting of James w. Cavanaugh az
superintendent of waterworks, a fit
ting reward for meritorious servic :
was conferred. 1t was not only Il
proper recognition of worth, but of the
cause of labor and of the democratic
party.
Mr.. Cavanaugh was named and COZ
firmed to succeed himself on the date
of the expiration of his term. Two
years ago as one of the recognized
leaders in the cause of union labor he
received his original appointment az
the hands of Mayor McCaskrin Las
night he was reappOinted in a mamie"
that carries appreciation of his admin
istratiOn as head of one of the most
important departments of the munici,
pal government, for since entering
upon his own duties Mayor Schaffe~
has had opportunity to judge for him
self.
When the other appointments we =
made, the new mayor determined to
permit Mr.. Cavanaugh to remain az
disturbed until the expiration of his
time in order to determine his quail
fications. The appointment shows
what the mayor thinks of him basel
upon observation and experience.

ence to the situation makes another
coal famine likely.
AS such a famine entails great SUI
fering, it is vitality important that
steps be taken early to prevent an
other coal famine
This is important that this sub
ject be aSitated. We are glad to see
the Railway Journal agitating it. The
interstate commerce commission has
turned attention to the subject and
is endeavoring to give wide publicity
to the need of laying in the winters
supply as soon as possible
OF course this pertains principally
to the dealers in coal and the large
consumers. But these conditions ap-
Ply equally as well to the small con-
sumner. If there is coal famine and
prices of coal are raised. no one IS
shown any quarter and all suffer,
whether great or large.
Unless coal dealers and consumers
give heed to the early warnings it is
not improbable that the coal trust
will again get in its work.

How to Help Patients in the Hospi-
tails.
The National Plant, Flower and Fruit
Guild. Office 70 Fifth avenue, New York
City, desires to increase the amount OF
jelly supplied to hospitals in the state
and i'll the large cities nearby, whose
hospitals have a great number of non
paying patients; also to district nurses
and missionaries visiting among the
poor in crowded districts. If any per
son or group of people or society wish
ing to contribute for this purpose will
notify Miss A. l.. Fairfield, national
secretary, 20 Fifth avenue, New York
City, she will arrange for the transpor
tation and delivery of the jelly.
In cases where people feel unable to
donate jelly and glasses, the guild will
gladly arrange with some local dealer
for empty glasses to be exchanged for
filled ones.
The requests received by the Nation
al Plant, Flower and Fruit Guild from
hospitals and district nurses state 1--WE
can use all the jelly you can spare us
No hospital has a large enough in
come to purchase all the jelly that it
can use to tempt the appetite of its
IcOnvalescing sick. \ very small effort
will make two or three extra glasses
of jelly. and these extra glasses collect
ed throughout the state will go long
way to meet the demand of hospitals.
The guild will supply a label and will
collect and distribute these delicacies
after Oct 1.
Extract from report of a country
branch of the National Plant, Flower
and Fruit Guild:
People so situated that they have
much to give to others have little CON
ceptiOn how much pleasure those i'll
straitened circumstances have in find
ing way of serving others which is
within their means. This was illustra-
ted in our village the last year in our
branch of the National Plant, Flower
and Fruit Guild. Apples were so abun-
dant that they lay rotting on the
ground everywhere Farmers could not
| get enough for the imperfect fruit to
lpay for barrels and storage. Someone
remembered that the good of the har-
vest might be put in a portable and
useful shape for little more than the
cost of the sugar when many hands
were willing to sort, quarter and cook,
and so women and children set to work
to make apple jelly. One woman paid
for the sugar and another secured the
neighborhood for donations of old
glasses and jelly. 1t was wonderful
how many glasses of apple jelly went
to New York from our country side &c
hot sick rooms.
| Work. yes, it was lots of work, but
perhaps not more than picking and
packing any fruit or other supplies, and
it was work about which children car
help. 1t was pleasant to see the peel

Governor Magoon has apparently
taken exactly the right step i'll Gre
ating a national board of sanitation
for Cuba, with authority to make the
local functionaries do their duty II
public cleanliness and
fighting the sources of yellow fever
Doubtless his action will arouse bitter
complaint among the tropical pOpula
ton, much of which Is roo indolent
and too ignorant to appreciate the i'm
pOrtance of combating dirt and dis
ease. This. however, should not sway
the governor from his course.
He has placed in his present position
not only TO give the Cubans decent
and orderly something
which they were apparently incapab;a
of maintaining for themselves-but 10
protect legitimate American Interests
by eradicating the pestilence which
has frequently leaped from the island
to the United States. In the pursuance
of that duty he should be backed b
the full power of the administration

Experience has proved that yellow
fever can be blOtted out permanently
by the adoption of measures which
are not especially difficult nor unrea.
sonably expensive. If the cost and
the difficulty were many times greater,
