NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-There was an
other demonstration today of the resiliency
of stock prices from the depressing in
fiuence of the European political outlook.
Tho apathy of the speculation which pre-
vailed today might be viewed as an ex-
preston OF relgning apprehension of fall
ure of efforts for a peaceful settlement IN
the near east. At all events there was no
market and the fact became obvious that
the great financial powers were resting on
their oars. Incoming advices continue 10 70
show progress in business and undimihisheuu M u
confidence In a moro active revival after the
election.
That the market speculation has waited
on the event to the same extent as business
operations are doing would seem TO De ,hs q
violent assumption. Taking stock OF the
situation there are many indications OF the
long steps already taken In the specuias,sona 10 =
to anticipate the business revival me
prolonged advance in prices OF securities 10
generally known from the RECORDS Oh tne
stock market made from week TO Week.
Some attention has been paid, but more 10
being paid to the prodigious expansion OF une
loan item of the New York clearing mousse
banks. The s1.33S,4s3,300 shown as tne
weekly average for the item In the SATURDAY
bank statement brings II to new hieh roe- &c
ord. The inference Is written lase IN .hese
figures that an enormous extension OK
credits has been centered in the hnanclal
and speculative center In New YORK. AT the
same time the restoration OF confidence on
the part of interior banks has resulted In a
refux Of funds to New York on far larger
scale than before the run on deposits OF
these banks which precipitated the crisis
last fall The strength OF the present
hanlxinq position, however did not preclude
the paying OF serious attention to the swift
loan expansion of the last few weeks, with
contraction of reserves and prospect of fur
thor declines. The neglect made prices
vulnerable to some reaction from the open
ing level, although there was nothing like
weakness at any time during the day.

Fish PeddIer Run over

The fact that his fish wagon was
empty probably saved the life of Paul
Marteolla, peddler living at 759 Clan
ton street, when he was run over by
his own wagon at Fourth and Central
avenue shortly after o'clock yester-
day evening. Mortoella had grasped
the reins and was attempting to climb
to the seat of his wagon. The horse
started forward suddenly and the driv-
er was thrown to the pavement under
the rear wheel, which passed over his
neck. He was taken to the emergency
hospital where the surgeons found he
had sustained no serious injuries.

CHICAGO, Oct 1s-The weakness in the
wheat market late in the day followed period
marked by extreme ..ervousness, during which
prices huctuated over range of about cent
Tho market opened easy, owing 70 sel,irs ,.ll
brought out by scattered rains in the south
west and by an official forecast OF general
rains tonight over the entire winter wheat
belt. The market then rallied sharply on coy
ering by shorts, who were actuated. by the
relative strength of the New York market
which was due, 1t was said to good export
demand After another reaction on profit TAX
ing, the market again became strong on buy
ing based on a report from Argentine which
claimed that the damage to the wheat crop
there by the recent frosts was secured Dur
ing the last hour sentiment again became de-
cdedly bearish and prices sumped Off sharply
under general selling. The chief reason Tor
the final weakness was the ngures on tne Vlsi-
Bile supply Of wheat in this country ana cana
da which showed an increase OF 4,S4O,OO0 pusn-
els for the week compared with an Increase or
Coz 900 bushels the corresponding time year
ago. Talk Of a liberal movement OF wheat 10

Liberal receipts of live hogs caused consid-
erable selling of provisions early in the ses-
sion and resulted in moderate weakness Later

Settinu the Pace.

The careful housekeeper whose heart is thoroughly in her work and whose aim it is to make her household run on oiled wheels will soon discover that 1t lies with her to set the pace in energy, carefulness, tidiness and punctuality.
 The entire household, from the chill dren to the servants, all take their cue from the mistress. If she Is lazy and careless, her servants and her children will be quick enough to follow her ex- ample.
 On the other hand, if the mistress is tidy. quick to discover mistakes, care ful and troubled over every detail of domesticity, she will soon find that her house works well, and that pune. tuality and order reign in place of slackness and careless methods.-Cas. sells Journal.

A Lithuanian Funeral.

On Sunday morning a strange funer- al cortege passed through the Mission streets. The hearse was followed by a procession of women walking in the middle of the street. They wore dark skirts trimmed with bands of lace, embroidery, or colored strips, and all wore aprons, some of black silk or cloth, but more of sheer white em- broidered corners, and fringed shawls were over their shoulders. It was not a uniform, but more in the nature of holiday attire such as one sees in Italy and France on carnival occasions or fete days. The men in the process sion wore conventional dress, but their bearded faces were not American. h. Quiring as to the nationality of these odd figures who made such a strange picture in San Francisco, I found they were Lithuanians, and that there is large colony of them here, mostly em- ployed at a laundry over toward the Potrero.-San Francisco Call.
