New York stock Market.

Wall St., New York Oct. 5--sToCKS-,
There was a rally from the early low level,
the stronger tone of the railway being
helpful factor but recoveries were only
temporary, some prominent shares going
lower. According to reports many weak
accounts were closed in the course of the
morning. 1t was evident, not only from
the marked decline of business but some
other signs, that the speculative element
was exercising restraint partly of an en-
forced character. Before midday, however,
the market again became active with gen.
eral improvement in virtually all parts of
the list.
Bonds were irregular.
For the first time in over a fortnight gains
gave way to losses at the outset of today's
trading. The heavy selling which impaired
irregular tone to yesterdays late op-
erations was resumed, though declines were
more orderly than advances had been;
American Car and Foundry was offered
down to 4S on an initial sale of 1000 shares,
overnight loss of GA points, on denial of
some recent war contract rumOr Lacka-
wanna Steel dropped to So, and Crucible
Steel 3 to 10012. Others of this class yielded
1 to 2 points. Among the early features of
strength were New York Central, Union
Pacific. Reading. Baldwin, Industrial, Alco-
hol and Willis Overland.

bles led to fresh upturn today in the

ious besides, estimates of the French crop
shortage were raised to 10O,000,000 bushels
The opening, which varied from unchan ged
figures to &c higher with December at 9S%
to 991sc and May 991sc to 99ssc, was fol-
lowed by slight reaction and then de-
cided general advance
Liberal buying orders that were ascrib-
ed to Wall Street led afterward to addi-
tional gains. The close was unsettled at
&c net advance with December at 99Ac
and May at $100A.
CORN-Reports of freezing temperature
and crop damage in Nebraska and Iowa
put strength into corn. There were also
predictions of more frost tonight. After

climb
The close was steady, A@%c above yes

With the sole exception of Council man Lomen, who is dallying with the pleasure of the great outside, all of the city dads were in their accustomed places when the regular Monday night meeting of the common council was called to order by Mayor Diamond last night. In addition to an increased at
 tendance there was also an evident in crease in generous spirits as the coun- cil with an ar of kindly benefcenee land without a murmur of dissent
 granted the school board an increase in the annual appropriation for the main
 tainence of the public school This generous spirit cost no less than $90O but they agreed without murmur all
 though the financial horizon is far from
 bright just now. After the reading and approval of the minutes. the clerk pre-
 sented a communication from Mrs. B
 NJ. Mcconnell complaining of the con- dition of her house, which, the lady averred, was rendered uninhabitable because of the seepage from one of the w. J. Rowe stables. The lady request ed tho council to grant her relief of some description. Following, the report of the city treasurer was read, disclos- ing that there was the munificent sum of s77S,95 in the city strong box on September l.
 After the reading of a number of bills, which cut a goodly. hole in the slim bank roll, the council took up the consideration of the long delayed ordi- nance placing tax on inherent mer- chants and, with but little discussion it was decided that the common peddler should be assessed the sum of S20 per annum for the privilege of doing busi- ness in the community while the more aristocratic profession of fur and ivory merchant should in keepng with the greater importance of that calling, pay to the tune of $30 per. The ordinance vacating that section of the townsite necessary to the construction of the proposed Snake river bridge was dis posed of without comment, all voting aye in response to the call of the clerk The much discussed resolution calling for the change in the date of the an- nal property assessment from Septem.

 NEW YORK, Sept. 14-Late wireless reports from the French steamer Santa Anna, reported to be on fire at sea nine hundred and six miles southeast of Hal flax last night, assert that the vessel is now safe and is proceeding under her own steam to the Azores. Accord ing to the reports the fire was in no degree serious and was soon controlled by the crew According to the master Captain Havy the fire was the result of an incendiary bomb which had beer placed in the hold of the vessel some time before sailing. The fire was dis covered early because of the slight noise made by the explosion. Prompt action confined the flames to the hold in which they originated

resolution could not affect the taxation of the present year. The council was plainly relieved at this information and a motion to table the resolution went through in hurry.
 A communication from the school board which has been held in abeyance for some time was brought up and the request for three hundred dollars, con
 tained therein, was granted.
 The lighting contract presented by the power company and containing the bid for street light for the coming year was considered but it was the opinion that the matter had best be looked into by the street and finance committees before further action was taken. It was so ordered The schedule of the company consisted of the following prices: Fifty lamps, at 12 1-2 cents per night; sixty lamps. 12 cents; 75 lamps III cents. The period in which light was to be furnished was ten hours and the period of the contract to be the same as in previous years. The price designated for replacing worn out lamps was fixed at s1.50 per lamp.
 Mir. Tom Albrecht complained to the council that a sewer in the vicinity of his place of residence was out of order and was causing him considerable both CT. This, together was the complaint of Mrs. Mcconnell was passed over to the police for action.
 The city clerk then addressed the council in the capacity of a member of the school board and after stating that t,.t school could not be efficiently run with the sum prevously allotted hy the council asked that an additional s9OO be granted for school purposes. Mr. Grimm stated that the school could not well get along with the present number of teachers and the course could not be held to the standard of former years save through greater allowance. There was an increase in the attendance as compared to last year and there were also several other features of the present year that could not be met. MT. Grimm finally stated that the school could not be run up to the standard without the addition of one teacher This seemed to clinch the argument with the council for MT Burgh arose and with kindly air moved that the request of the school trustee be granted. The motion was imme diately seconded and it was so ordered MT. Thompson then assumed his time honored function of moving for ad- journment and the meeting closed
